it is against the COE to allow pups to go before 8 weeks.

totally agree

as if a shed's not hot, what a load of crap. Plenty of people have multiple dogs in the hosue with no issue's with ot without children. As for leaving a four week old pup alone in the yard with big dogs, you would have to have rocks in your head!

me too

what are the breeding plans for the resulting offspring? I think you also need to look at what happens with the next generation. What your options are etc.

no surprise here either, congratulations :D

Yay for Alvin, glad he is home safe and sound

agree

excellent news

Canberrans will soon be able to walk pet greyhounds muzzle-free, following an announcement that training courses to provide muzzle exemption will start this weekend. After undertaking a five-week socialisation course, keepers will be allowed to walk their greyhound in a public place without a muzzle, as approved by Domestic Animal Services. David Bullivant, a level two obedience instructor with DogTech, will run the course. He said it was mainly about teaching the animal how to behave in different situations. ''One of the things that people often worry about is small, fluffy dogs around ex-racing greyhounds, but our course will ensure no dog will be recommended for muzzle exemption without passing every aspect of the training,'' he said. ''Really, we are training owners to train their dogs - they still can't have the greyhound off a lead, so it's more about calming the dog in certain situations.'' Mr Bullivant said any animal that showed a sign of aggression throughout the training course would be denied a registration for muzzle exemption. However, registrar with Domestic Animal Services, Peter Dinan, who formally approves the ''recommended'' greyhounds, said the animal was not only given a second chance - but unlimited chances at the training course. ''They [the owner and their greyhound] will be allowed to return, yes,'' he said. Mr Dinan is confident the muzzle exemption is a step in the right direction for the ACT, especially since NSW and Queensland have introduced similar courses in recent years. ''There's no evidence that there have been any issues with un-muzzled greyhounds, and I think it will lessen the stigma surrounding these dogs,'' he said. Ruth Osgood, of Richardson, owns three-year-old greyhound Lola, and said she often feared for the safety of her dog - when it was wearing a muzzle. ''Sometimes I panic because unmuzzled dogs can run at Lola, and there is no way she can protect herself. They really are very placid animals.'' With rangers patrolling areas of Canberra, Mr Dinan was certain greyhound owners who have not completed the muzzle exemption course would be caught. Mr Dinan said the maximum penalty for an owner who was walking a greyhound without a muzzle and who had not undertaken the course was $550. The course is available for $145.

x2 to you, your daughter and all your helpers

going to a chiro with my first dog literally saved her life. I was ready to have her PTS but had her for another 5 or so years.

I have a three month old puppy that I bought from a breeder on DOL and she scratches at her face, ears and shoulders a lot. I know it is early days but does anyone know if I could get an MRI scan done and how much it would cost since I am not a breeder? Can I get it done with the KC? Get in touch with your breeder and talk to them. They should be able to help you or if they can't might be able to direct you to people who can. Don't panic, you just might have an itchy pup!

I love the powder puffs. I'm not likely to ever own one but I think they are just gorgeous.

That's great Gayle. It's a nice little corner of the world, there should be time for a bit of exploring on the Sat arvo.

have checked with the VCA and you are right, OVCC will be following the printed judging order. I have adjusted the website.

frozen milk bottles of water wrapped in a towel, my babies would drape themselves over them

of course her illness wouldn't have had anything to do with her poor coat would it?

You shouldn't the whites have a component in them that blocks biotin (a B group vitamin) absorption. In the longterm if fed often (daily)not a good thing for their coat, once a week would not hurt, or benefit either. Just partially cook the eggs until the clear white turns solid white, you can give raw yolks that's fine. no need, the yolk is supercharged with biotin

I have a vague memory of a small amount being taken by my bank but it wasn't much. With paypal there is an option on who pays the fees. eta I was/am so pleased with the home my pups went too that not getting the very exact amount did not bother me.
