well I hope they at least get a muzzle for the non cat safe one, fancy taking on such a dog when you have a cat and not have a muzzle for it. Goes to show how well thought out this all was when they are asking for food, bedding, coats, toys, collars,muzzles.

you were crate training her outside the house??????????

Won't work with GAP or GSN but happy to work with pound rounds, it would be if the potential for harm wasn't so high

My daughter's grey copes well as an only dog and she works 5 days a week. Certainly try the places suggested, she might have to wait a while for the right dog but it will be worth it!

I am all for minimal chemicals in dogs but heartworm is the one preventive I use. I have smooth coated dogs who are often outside at dusk and dawn due to my working night shift.

dog next door had it several years ago, the owners missed a dose or two cause of a death in the family. There was also one bought from the pound about 20 years ago when heartworm was first being noticed in the town I live in.

crossing my fingers the kids, the cat and the dogs all come through ok

From what I have been told you apply for any house you like except for the ones that state No Pets, on the off chance they will allow you to have a pet. BUT you must tell them your intentions on getting a dog upfront. My daughter and her partner have a large dog and two inside cats and have been renting in Melb for several years now.

:laugh: there's always strings attatched with PR. You need to read the whole thread...every page. yep I've read it

not enough greyhounds in Victoria for you to "save" then. Yeah I have a problem with it and have said so in the past so you are not being singled out.

no it's not if you have a good kennel and, if needed, a good dog coat. You might not sell to anyone who has their dog out at night but that's a different story all together.

Lovely photo's!

heartworm(only) every 6 weeks, intestinal worms 2 or 3 times a year, no flea treatment unless I see one, no further vaccinations (only C3) after the booster shot at 15 months, unless required for boarding.

Did your breeder stipulate a "best time" or age desexing had to be done by? Best to go back and talk to the breeder.

Well done! Henry is one lucky pup to have you and yours as his family. Here's to a long and happy life together

yes, the 25 points after 12 months is no longer required. Is it still required for neuter dogs?

twice a day, equal sizes mostly

you seem to be the only one who has inside info donatella, everybody else can only go by what is posted, which is true for 99% of threads on DOL. People can only respond to what is posted.

Hasn't answered mine either. I won't be holding my breath waiting for an answer.

pet grade has perservatives etc added to it. Where I live it used be from downed cows etc that the pet shop owner himself went out and shot. No idea what happens now but I would never feed pet grade to my animals.

Thing to watch out for is that the numbers are not wholly accurate. In the stats link for the year 2000 they have 183 greyhounds down as being registered, yet in the ANKC data base they only have 57, where did the rest go? I query the 2010 figures as well but my copy of the data base only goes up to 2009.

Its in the foster hand out on a rescues site Well no way to prove it I guess well I can dig out the humane training certificates I have buried around here somewhere. I could give you the name and number to all the places I worked as references but thats a lot of work to prove to one person on the internet what I have accomplished in my life. No the rescue was an all breed rescue specializing in working dogs ACDs BCs were what mostly came in. Thats what we were thinking of doing I only asked if we should do the non profit for advice in case someone had a really good reason to go that route. So why is it your ok with a private rescue but not a charity rescue? I certainly hope its not about money because rescuing isnt a business adventure for me, and most of the time its your own money going into the dogs. Your certificates are of no interest to me. Greyhounds are not bull breeds or working dogs/mixes. So how many greyhounds have you owned? ETA rephrase, how many greyhounds have you had in your home

seems to have been missed by the OP. lack of foster carers is what increases waiting lists. Concerns me too.

The other group in Vic is GSN, Greyhound Safety Net and I actually do find it offensive that they have been mentioned several times by name but you just refer to them as the other rescue.
