ask to see the results, especially for eye tests as poodles have a couple of eye conditions which can lead to blindness. You are entitled to a copy of the parents results. You do not want to see two carriers bred together. A carrier and a clear is ok as no pup will be affected, they might be a carrier but, unless you go on to breed, it's not a problem. I imagine you are paying quite a bit so you certainly are entitled to know the health history.

if the pup doesn't come with ANKC papers then you can't be 100% sure. Have the parents had their health tests and did you see the results?

you need to see a behaviorist so you and Ace can get the help needed. Dog attacks can cause some bad side effects. If you can give a rough area of where you live I'm sure more knowledgeable people will be able to recommend someone. I hope the owners of the attacking dog are paying your vet bill and I hope you reported the attack.

^^^^^^^ this please

as long as you realise there is a risk, small may it be. I'm a firm believer in getting pups out and about early and am prepared to take that risk. Mind you, even going out to my front yard with a pup is risky as all manner of dogs trot past and I have no idea what they may be carrying.

But there was no stud fee paid nor breed health tests nor ANKC registration/fees so don't forget to add them on.

Puppies do make a lot if strange noises while sleeping. Has he been back to the vets? Have you reached out to his breeder? I would be concerned that a puppy has not eaten well for a week.

You need to find a good trainer that can come out and observe you and your dog. In the meantime it might be best if you educate him to wearing a muzzle. Might help keep someone safe.

Charmed I'm sure

and there is this: the little girl is 5, she's learning so many valuable lessons here. Including you don't always get what you want when you want. That it's not easy to "replace" a beloved pet/person. That grieving won't kill you though it feels like it. That saving up for something wanted so badly is oh so satisfying. And so on.

Ever looked into all the costs of breeding a litter? Costs a lot if you do everything properly. Plenty of dogs looking for homes in pounds, animal shelters, rescues. Have a look there.

Gee wish my litters yielded a decent net profit.

and...............?

very cute!

Don't forget to add on a stud fee, maybe AI's, a c section, an emergency spey, maybe import fees for the semen, sick puppies, a small size litter. Costs can then add up to a few thousand per pup.

It costs the same to breed and raise a limited register pup as a main registered pup.

Well I changed breeds as well around the same time. I only had female German Shepherds but my first 2 Greyhounds were males. I have both male and female greys nowadays and the boys are just ......... special. I mean one of my current girls is the sweetest thing ever and the other is a real Mummy's girl but my boy is different. As I am no longer breeding them I would be looking for another boy if/when I want another dog.

Me either. And as a long time dog owner who used to only have females I am now very much on the side of the boys!

Can't see the purpose of it once past newborn. It's only, what, 3 days that a puppies gut can accept it.

ok the first 2 occasions it could be dogs that consider the beach their territory as they were there first, or not, maybe they just want to put the whipper snapper back in his box before he gets out of it. The other occasions with him saying hello in "a very friendly way" might be too friendly. At 8 months old he has out grown his puppy license. My adult male does not tolerate dogs in his face, he'll warn them but that's it, he also wouldn't bother going up to other dogs though. One of my bitches anything could be going on and all would be well. My other bitch would be scared with a dog greeting her in a very friendly manner. I suspect the other dogs that your youngster is running up to are saying Hey! settle down, trying to educate him in proper doggy greetings between strangers. Could be totally wrong of course.

does he have a tail? I believe other dogs can have a hard time reading dogs without tails. It's a bit strange that it's only other dogs running up to him, I have to wonder what they have seen in the few seconds before hand. What do those dogs do after yours retreats?

ring your vet would be the best bet.

what's happening OS doesn't matter. And the fact it's from the same website is the point deary

I always added green beans if I needed to bulk out a meal
