Puppies, A Social Experience Apparently

oh for God's sake how rude are you? You make this judgement based on a thread on a forum? -
What Breeds / X-breeds Show Up In Shelters?
Rebanne replied to sandgrubber's topic in General Dog Discussion
I worked in a pound for 10 years, vast majority of dogs that came in were mutts. In those 10 years there were only 3 or 4 papered dogs that came in and guess what? when the breeders of those dogs were notified they were there as soon as possible to pick up their dogs. Same as the greyhound that came in, traced her breeder by the tattoo's and he organised for the dog to be picked up. -
Rescue Lumping Breederswith Byb And Pet Shops
Rebanne replied to Kavik's topic in General Dog Discussion
wish you would actually learn to spell dobermann properly. -
I didn't send Fern's rego cert in cause I don't have it yet. According to the VCA they posted it on Dec 2nd. So I have to assume it is lost in the mail and of course they are now closed until Jan 3rd. So no hope of getting another one before the show. No membership card either. At least I have written proof that everything is up to date on the data base. But I do agree with you BB, don't have to provide rego's for other classes.

Rescue Lumping Breederswith Byb And Pet Shops
Rebanne replied to Kavik's topic in General Dog Discussion
I consider this thread has gone way OT but I just wanted to point out to other readers that there are plenty of good reasons why you might not be able to meet the sire, the breeder, the dam or even the pups before buying. :D -
oh dear then I would fail :D

It will be Fern's first outing in Neuter :D

Rescue Lumping Breederswith Byb And Pet Shops

I just say what a heap of rubbish on those threads on FB and you'll be surprised how many other people then come out of the wood work to back you up. If "friends" keep posting those threads and links I delete the "friends". -

I always thought Fern had short seasons. By day 16 or so, vulva would be right down and certainly no discharge that I could see. She had 2 litters so if they were short there obviously wasn't a problem. Also I found her prog levels, when tested prior to mating, were very slow to rise then bang! game on

3. more then just a couple of pages, about a third fo a newspaper is what I would put down minimum. If it is not wet all the way through you can only throw out the wet layers 5. I changed the vet bed 3 times a day, roughly every 8 hrs and the newspapers under it. When newborns you could change just twice a day but I would never leave the same piece down for 48 hrs.

Congratulations, she's striking!

What Papers Should Come With A Purebred Puppy?
Rebanne replied to Fiasco's topic in General Dog Discussion
if you papers don't arrive follow it up with the breeder. Papers can and do go astray. I am still waiting on papers sent out by the VCA on Dec 2nd, doubt they are going to arrive anytime soon so will have to chase up replacement papers in Jan when the office reopens. Right royal pain in the -
I would still report it as they may be telling porkies and the dog might actually be theirs.

Where To Buy / Get Newspapers For Upcoming Litter?
Rebanne replied to Antoun's topic in General Dog Discussion
Newsagents in our area just cut off the masthead to claim their returns so newspapers are bundled up for recycling and are given willingly to those asking for it. As we don't get any papers had a friend save them for us too!! yep that's how I get my newspapers, other bedding on top -
they make press stud guns?? oh how I hated having to sew press studs on stuff when I was younger. I have avoided them like the plague for the longest time. Might have to get me a gun now

it is not off topic as this thread is about rewarding good behaviour by both dog and owner and the thread was started in Oct so your dog was hardly much younger and peed on at least 3 different people. Nope. But I'm not going to argue with you anymore, it's obviously pointless and I don't even know who you are or care what you think about me or my dog. It is completely OT - re-read the OP if you need to. I'll help you. This thread is about whether you think there should be incentives for responsible owners, and what those incentives should be - and of course how the whole process should/could be implemented. If you would like to talk about something else, or just attack particular members (which btw in case you were wondering, I feel you are currently doing to me), feel free, but don't do in this thread - you're ruining any chance we have of having a constructive discussion about what I (and obviously many other members) believe is a very important issue. If what you're interested in is instead me and my dog (reflected by your last x posts), just PM me. exactly! responsible dog owners Exactly - do you think they should be rewarded? Who cares whether you think I'm responsible or not, you don't know me, you don't know my dog and I don't know that you're the best person to be assessing us. But how do you think it should be assessed? And by who? I suggested something along the lines of a new title that was awarded on the grounds of your dog passing a basic obedience test and then also a social reaction test - ie do they react negatively to other dogs, people etc. What do they do when you sit down at a table? Ideally you'd want a dog that stays at your side, doesn't react and lays down when you sit down. And of course trained to toilet on command. Once you passed I think you should be allowed to have your dog with you under more circumstances. I think this would be a good incentive for all dog owners, but I also think it would be great for society on the whole to see more dogs out and about not causing problems (not just guide dogs). As is it now, most people seem to think you're the exception if you have the well-trained dog. I would like this to change, and for the people with poorly behaved unsocialised dogs to be the exception. What do you think? I think is is discrimination pure and simple. And only a short step to excluding all dogs who don't have the magical card to being banned from being out in public, to, in the extreme, being put down cause they don't have the card. Plenty of DINOS would sit quietly at a cafe table or walk around the street, if the owners of the friendly dog who justs wants to say hi would keep the bloody things under control.

Yes and there are some people you will never convince - alone though we will never make any changes and the public will continue to hold the opinions they currently do of the place of dogs in society, how to raise them and what to expect from them. I think some people are missing a point here. Through an incentives program people could see the advantages of proper dog ownership - and realise that having a dog that is poorly behaved and can't be taken out is the fault almost always of the owner. But if instead of talking about that and how to achieve the goals we all have for our dogs and dogs in general, people would prefer to make sarcastic remarks and shut people down - well, it's hard to have hope isn't it. you're a fine one to talk when you have a dog that goes around pissing on people

Don't flatter yourself, you are nowhere near as important to others as you are to yourself

I can see it now, a lovely fenced dog park, paid for by the government but used only by a few select card carrying members of the public overseen by a paid employee. But OMG, Gasp, Horror, one of the friendly dogs gets jumped on by another friendly dog and doesn't appreciate it and growls to tell the other dog it was out of line Oh the shame, the suitable owner now becomes unsuitable and their card is taken from them, they are in disgrace, their dog has obviously not had enough training or socialisation but they somehow got a card, how embarrassing Maybe the suitable dog owners would have to wear a big yellow tick or something on their clothing to make sure they were easily identifiable from a distance so all the non suitable owners could marvel at their superior dog training skills.

So non suitable owners and their dogs stay away but have to pay for it via the government. Greytmates suggestion was better. You pay.

Heat pad in one corner of the box. Have a read in the breeders forum.
