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.

Gulliver, Whirlaway Classic Beyond Belief (AI,) went Best In Group today in SA! Way to go Gulliver

I gave my buyer my bank details and he went to his bank and did it from there. Only problem was forgetting to convert it from $US to $AUS.

would be nice to know all the Neuter in Group winners :D

and with some (most?) aged over 90 you would think they would be trying to get new people interested in perserving this very old 'breed'

In Tricks Of The Trade by Pat Hastings she says: never do something for a dog that you can teach the dog to do for itself. Much like children, puppies grow up more confident when they are taught to think for themselves. If you do everything for dogs, they will rely on you instead of learning to use their onw brains. how true it that!

me too :D wonder if they would accept a stack, an out and back, then a triangle then another stack

Lol, I always thought it meant Bones And Raw Food. Just making stuff up as I go along It does, in fact I understand that was the original meaning. that's my understanding as well.

wow great results, congratulations

Anybody who does research on the Staghound in books or internet sites will always be confused as there has never been a book written about them nor has their history been recorded other than by the breeders who use and continue to keep this working breed pure. You need to go to the "coalface" and talk to dedicated breeders or people who are over 90 years of age who have some understanding of working breeds of dogs in Australia to get an insight into this rare breed. You will find most of these dedicated breeders are usually private type people who are leading breeders of livestock with an outstanding knowledge of genetics who live in western Victoria or South Australia. 'Kangaroo'dogs are just a label like "pig dog","rabbit dog","fox dog"or"sheep dog"and should not be confused with the Staghound as a breed. so where are these dedicated breeders? Put your money where your mouth is!

they are 13 weeks old, still babies, stop putting so much pressure on them and yourselves. They are still 1000% easier to toilet train then children!

I teach my pups to sleep outside, with other dogs and on their own, to sleep in a crate overnight, to stay outside during the day with the other dogs or on their own. I want them to be adaptable in case something happens and they do need to do the opposite of what is "normal" for them. People's lives change through changes of jobs, housing, family members coming and going - death, marriage, births etc. In saying that though I am happy for my dogs to be in with me a lot and usually have one or two sleeping on the bed. But they all sleep outside at night when I am at work and I can and do mix and max them up when I am home. Ages of dogs range from 6 months to nearly 15 years and I have 4 of them.

From my reading here I think too many new puppy owners are too scared to just put the pup outside. Some allowances do need to be made for some circumstances but every pup I have had they have all been outside from day one for large periods of time. People seem to over think things and I do think it is because of information overload. It does the puppy no harm to be outside exploring it's world,in fact it is good for it's development. Much better then being stuck in a pen inside day after day cause the owners are so paranoid about the pup being loose in the yard. So many experts giving advice and saying "do this or that or otherwise you are a failure". What happened to common sense?

yes blue roof with a little bit of maroon piping, pretty sure it was the marquee
