maybe it was discussed with the powers that be and they were allowed to register the pups?

no, most of us don't let our dogs run amok killing anything they see.

me too

love the lift at the back

sorry but it is not the dogs fault it is your's for letting an untrained dog off lead to roam around. You knew she was interested in hunting them out and did nothing about it.

I wouldn't vaccinate. But this is not about an ill dog that can't be done, it's about choosing not to even give the puppy shots. If it was about a puppy that had something that prevented it being vaccinated then we would all have to do what we think is best for the puppy. That would be for another thread I reckon.

have a bit of a read here and elesewhere about raw diets. Lots of info and lots of it conflicting! No straight answers really. but, yes please source all raw meat and bones from supermarkets or your local butcher. You need to buy human grade. Don't just feed meat without feeding a calcium source ie bone. Otherwise you will do more harm then good. I would keep your pup on dry food for another few months and add things to his diet like sardines, raw whole egg, yoghurt, etc. Make one meal raw chicken necks or wings. Steer away from weetbix etc, your pup does not need added cerals to his diet. A bit of left over pasta or rice is fine as long as it's not everyday. Same with vegies, just cook a tiny bit more when you do your own, couple of times a week. No need to get to specific at this time as long as the pups main diet is a good dry. This will give you time to research :) ETA talk to your breeder as well, that's what they are there for :D and also, if you signed a contract, you might void any warranty by feeding different to what the breeder said.

I don't have any dots.

Poking around shows me there is no "make my page invisible" options for the home page, so just don't put your link out until you are happy with the home page. All the other pages have make page invisible available.

Plus try web design and you might be able to change colour there.

ok you need to sign in then in a box on your right is web page listing, click on that and you should see what you need.

Exactly as above. Some older pups & adults mongrels even settle & bond with no issues too. Training a dog the way you want it does not always mean you are fixing a mistake & training is possible at any age. I have found a 6 month old puppy will often get something quicker than an 8 week old, not quite as silly. Breed related too. I think bonding issues are often the owners problem not the dogs. Some people can only bond if they have the puppy. Some dogs have a more independent personality no matter what age you get them but most dogs respond to kindness, attention & the person who feeds them no matter what age. No ideal age for me. I have taken dogs from 8 weeks to 5 years with no problems however while I expect reasonable behaviour & obedience & to be in charge I don't expect the dog to be trained to jump through hoops. Personal choice really. totally agree with both.

was it here on DOL, a few years ago now, where there was a thread with someone having the opposite trouble? They were buying a pup from someone who didn't believe in vaccinations but used the nosodes instead and they buyer was wanting the pup to have the puppy vaccinations at least? Buyer was quite happy to titre in future. Anyone else remember or did I dream it :laugh:

wow and how rude are you! You have been a member since April, have you not read anything in the health forum If you had bothered you would see that most of us are against excessive chemical use on our dogs and we do not believe everything some vets would like to tell us. People here gave you their time and tried to show you how it is illegal to actually do what you want and in fact might actually have an adverse effect on your pups life. But no we are the close minded ones, not you. It is far easier to prevent a pregnancy, not so easy to prevent a case of parvo, but you'll desex but not vaccinate.

It really doesn't matter what your feelings are about vaccinations, bottom line is that a registered, ethical breeder must vaccinate their pups before sale. In some states it is a goverment law requiring vaccinations ( and microchipping ), other states it is a requirement of the controlling body. Hence you will find it very hard to find a pup from an ethical registered breeder that is not vaccinated ( and microchipped and treated for worms etc ). Good luck with your search. Please make sure the parents of your pup have had the required health tests so it does have a chance of a long healthy life.

oh Thank God! I am so pleased you have all been reunited.

I wouldn't be in a rush to add brewers yeast, a lot of dogs have trouble with it.

ask her as you have asked here, she can only say no.

no it isn't unless you are only feeding egg white. Feeding the whole egg is fine. Egg white can bind biotin but the yolk is rich in biotin so negates any problems.

Limit register is like locks on the back door, it only stops the honest people

do they really have good bloodlines? But most people would tell you contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on. Like locks on doors, the honest people are honest and the others aren't, locks and paperwork mean very little.

I don't intend to do too much unpacking :laugh: I might get my spare room back. Think I will be taking a trip down to check it out in person but have just about decided this is the way to go for now. Then I can keep my nifty little Mazda for a bit longer. ( I don't change cars very often, the last one I had for 20 years )

sounds good!

I have a friend who has done this with 2 greyhounds but has now retired. She loved it, the dogs could have cared less :)
