Thank you :thanks:

I wouldn't expect them to be happy but I would expect them to put up with it. I get your point Steve but if the dog won't obey it's owner (handler) and the judge can't lay hands on the dog then the dog can't be judged properly. And we are talking about them in the show ring, not out working.

it's a hang over from the olden days. No more a threat then any other dog. They are sighthounds, they hunt, so do lots of other dogs.

Is this every state, and does it apply to non-race bred greys? I thought that was the case, but there is a grey in my local dog park that is always off-lead, muzzle-free with no special identification so I wondered if maybe it wasn't. What I have said applies to Victoria, to all greyhounds including show bred. You can exhibit greyhounds at sanctioned events, shows, agility, obedience etc, without a muzzle. NSW has only recently bought in the green collars (muzzle free) but I understand, for things I have read, that greyhounds are allowed off lead, but should still be muzzled if not previously tested and excempt.

Judge couldn't even go over the dog, that dog showed all the hallmarks of being timid.

In Victoria only GAP greyhounds are allowed to be muzzle free. If you adopt a grey from elsewhere you can get them assessed by GAP but, by my understanding, they then become GAP dogs, ie they are issued a number etc same as if you had adopted them first from GAP, you still own them. They have to stay at GAP for several days. By law no greyhound is allowed off lead except on private property, even GAP greyhounds, even off lead parks. ETA they must wear their identifying collar when out and about

what will you do with this female puppy?

In extremely rare cases, identical twins have been born with opposite sexes (one male, one female). In these cases, identical twin boys are conceived, but, during the twinning process, one twin loses a Y chromosome (boys have chromosome type XY while girls have XX). Without a Y chromosome to trigger the production of male sex hormones , this fetus develops as a girl by default, but a girl with only one X chromosome (chromosome type XO). The co-twin is unaffected, and develops as a boy as normal.I read this about humans but i haven't been able to find any thing about it with dogs so do the girls grow up to be 'full' girls with only one X chromosome?

Dogs Seized From No Kill Shelter
Rebanne replied to HeelerLove's topic in Dog Rescue (General Rescue Discussion)
were thy killed immediately? I'm with HW on this one. 2 sides to the story with the truth somewhere in between -
I've had 5 GSD's, none of whom had Hemangiosarcoma. I've had 5 Greyhounds and none have had it but my daughters Greyhound has. Luckily it's only on his skin, at this stage, and it's been over 12 months since the first was removed.
-
Gawd wouldn't you freak if that was your dog! Good work to all.
-
A dog so tired at 6 years old that she was lame I agree The elkhound that came 4th in the hound group was 9.
-
if there are no tests how can you blame a breeder for not telling you? If they had a dog affected by hemangiosarcoma it is quite possible it was never diagnosed, particulary if it was an old dog whose passing was somewhat expected.

There was a comment made, in the sidebar of the live feed, about the judge standing on a dogs foot

Way to go Aces Dad. Greyhounds about to start

Allergies, Allergies,allergies
Rebanne replied to the cat lady's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
you could try an infusion of calendula. Cheap and seems to work for a lot of dogs. Heath food shops stock the dried leaves, I just bought 100 grams for $5.90, put a handful in a bucket of hot water, let it cool then sponge it onto the dog, let dog drip dry. Erny is a long standing member here who has been singing Calendula (marigold) praises for a long time. I have a dog with some seasonal contact allergies happening at the moment. Yesterday I bathed her fully in the calendula infusion. Today I made a smaller amount and stood her feet/legs in the container one by one, washed her belly and let her drip dry. I admit I was sceptical but it has made a big difference. I even wiped out her ears with a very well wrung out cloth. -
so what is it? Breed only to replace a show dog or breed often enough to have a regular income?

Please be careful with the ace. That's a big dose he is getting

Gawd that is bloody awful and he shouldn't have to suffer that. Nor you.

Do I Need A Copy Of Both The Parents' Health Check?
Rebanne replied to merikuri's topic in General Dog Discussion
I seem to recall where, on a form giving a clear result, the dogs name was changed. So a dog that tested carrier or affected appeared to have a clear certificate. This was a Border Collie I think and was discussed here on DOL a few years ago -

why would you not give copies, particularly if asked? -

Handwritten, no way. I wouldn't settle for less then hard copies of offical paperwork eta yes some details may be handwritten as others have said but it needs to be on offical paperwork
