They look quite big (could be the photos though), so I'd be nervous about the knot method too. Other people with more experience than I may be able to say if it would work or not. Might not hurt mentioning it to your vet, and seeing what they say? Or if there is any way removal can be done without a general anesthetic.

Not sure Rainy, how big are they? Maybe google and see what you come up with. If you're more comfortable going to the vet, that is fair enough.

I was going to suggest this too. This is a way to get rid of skin tags on humans too. Hadn't heard about rubbing alcohol on it though, just the string bit. Dental floss works too.

Agree with the above, people shouldn't be deterred by reports of bitchiness.

Well done!!!!!!

Well done ellz

I can't help with your question, but just wanted to say she is very cute!!

Well done! Good luck tomorrow!

Mount Gambier Macburn Cottages - http://www.macburncottages.com/ We stayed here for a week when we went over for some shows. Fantastic set up, great array of breakfast supplies, well fenced yard for the dogs. Plus the dogs are allowed inside, just not on the furniture. The hosts are very nice, and have a whippet.

A Dane was minor in group at two of the shows, a standard poodle was inter in group at two of the shows. I think that same poodle was BIG at least one day. And as above the Chow got BIS yesterday. Believe he was from the intermediate class. No neuters were entered in grp 7 all weekend. The above is all from memory, and its been a long few days, so may be wrong.

Can you please provide your source for your quoted figures of 1 in 4 show greys carry neuropathy?

Neuter in Show: basenji I think aus bred in show was a schip Great weekend, the show committee did an amazing job, judges were great, a big pat on the back to all involved.

One of this country's best former racers and now popular ( and very expensive ) sire produces dogs that are so overshot they cannot eat properly and certain cannot hold prey of any kind. Another sire of note today has only on testicle, as do many. The number standing at stud or bitches that are bred from with thyroid issues is nothing short of astounding. There's Pannus, osteosarcoma, diabetes,anemia, thyroid condition, alopecia, SLO etc I doubt very much that the racing fraternity has preserved form, function or genetic health, what they do however is produce so many animals, that the odds are some of them can run around in a circle very fast, how quickly they break down or live after retiring is of little consideration. Having looked closely at "conformation" and the "race dog" it's easy to spot the weak links and predict where the dog is likely to break down. You can pay thousands of $ to use a stud that produces the tenacity and chase but form governs function and there'd be a hell of a lot people left feeling disappointed and dogs destroyed if they really started to think about "conformation" :clap: Great post Pav Lova

Total for AM - 383. Well done on your neuter in groups. I had the greyhound :).
