well I wasn't going to say anything quite this early, but it looks like I will be show secretary for our local club next year and I fully intend to enter my dogs, whether I actually get to show them myself or get someone else too, way too early to say yet. But I am not missing out on a local show just because some perceive a possible bias on the judges part. I think it is pretty sad that so many people seem to think judges are so easily influenced.

Valueplus for heartworm every 6 weeks, worming every few months and nothing else. If there is a flea problem I use a spot on but never regularly.

try saying lay down just as she does it. Or when you find a food she really like use a clicker. Greyhounds from kennels aren't exactly used to thinking for themselves.

actually it is best foster dogs, of any breed, don't learn it is ok to get on the furniture, many people, who are excellent homes, don't want their dogs on the furniture. Things like that are best left to the new owners to teach if they want too. Greys can live outside but they are usually used to living with other dogs, so if there are no other dogs they will most likely be happier inside. Plus they are now pets, not working dogs so why not be inside? Nevertheless, even if outside dogs, it helps for them to learn what the inside of a house is like in case they are sick and need to be kept inside for example.

excellent photo!

I just chucked on some old coats on my greyhound last year, ones his mother chewed up a bit he was really good considering he was under 6 months of age when I started coating him. Buy some cheap ones and just stitch them up, also put a neck on them, a sleeve from an old windcheater often works well, you can hand sew it onto the neck. I watched Fern when she did a bit of chewing and she could arch her neck pretty good and just catch the edge of the neck, with the extra long neck didn't matter how hard she tried she couldn't get a grip Get polar fleece ones, the usually fit better, IMO, then the weatherbeeta types that I have seen.

she's very nice

so your family and friends are going to be ok if their wonderful pets have health issues in the future because you didn't do any health checks? something you should have done regardless of being registered or not. As a former vet nurse surely you would have seen the impact on both dogs and owners when health issues arise? You didn't test for PRA which can cause blindness? How sad. I hope your puppies, for their sake, remain in good health. It's not their fault they are here. and for what it's worth, all my dogs are pets first, everything else comes second.

but you expect your puppy byers to desex before fully grown

so you contacted the breeder and have verified that the papers are in fact correct

well you don't know her either do; you not know how hard it can be for woman in a domestic violence situation to break free, that they do things they would normally not do so as to save themselves and you are contributing to her harrasement

from one of kazzie_81's old post "I personally would NEVER desex any of my dogs before they were fully grown."

it is so interesting read kazzie_81's old posts, very entertaining.

watch out Sway, you know they will all be after you now cause you have pointed this out. Of course it was because you were so miffed at missing out on a sale

now you make assumptions? You dont know everything about them. Christ you take nosy neighbour to an obsessive level sorry but I agree with Nekhbet, the poor woman

go the whites!!!! congratulations

yes that is true but hopefully those registered breeders were breeding from cleared stock to leesen the chances of a pup being affected, not to mention some problems are also enviromental and no breeder has control over that. BYB's don't bother doing the correct tests so their pups are more of a genetic mine field. It must always be remembered that dogs are living, breathing creatures and sh!t happens sometimes no matter what you do. A registered breeder who has done the right things cuts down on the risks a buyer takes with purchasing a new family member.

ok do you know that the new owners can change the 2nd contact? Unfortunately no one can guarantee their dog or one of their breeding will never end up in the pound if only because accidents can happen, not to mention how some people are really good at telling porkies to get what they want, then don't do the right thing. Also contracts usually aren't worth the paper they are written on. And how do you know they won't breed sometime down the track, the people who sold you registered dogs possibly thought the same thing about you. All said without malice.

I didn't say that at all but if that's the way you want to take it be my guest. What I was saying was the breeders forum has a lot of advice etc on it and yes people talk about their mistakes on it. What they would do differently or better the next time. It does matter where you post if you want informed answers, this area is for general topics, if you have a particular topic in mind it is best to post in the appropriate forum to get the most informed answers. You can post breeders questions here but it doesn't mean you would get as many answers then if you had posted in the Breeders forum. Many people stick to one or two forums, some never venture into, say rescue or puppy.

Why? Because they refuse to support people who are destroying the breeds that they are working so hard to preserve and improve? No because I'm not perfect and may make mistakes but according to this site that is a big no no, and if I did and asked for help I'd be crucified. you obviously don't read the breeders forum very much, plenty of questions (mistakes too) there and good sound advice
