  1. How much wee do they hold? Can't see anything on the website. Thinking of buying some for my next litter.
  2. My only experience with a dog was my parents older Peke who got prostate cancer and ended up dying after being desexed. The vet at the time told them if the dog wasn't being used at stud then most will suffer from prostate problems. No idea if that is true or not. And he wasn't a dog to enjoy himself with toys either. Personally I desex my dogs if not being used for, or finished, breeding. One other thing to consider is the chance of being stolen because they are entire. I had concerns with the drug taking bogans next door being interested in my male greyhound while he was entire. They liked to go out hunting. Easy to say a bitch is desexed, bit harder to hide testicles on some breeds of dogs
  3. What breed? What were the parents health tests like? What were the scores for the parents and now for your pup both elbow and hips? Any dog can suffer from cruciate problems, it can be enviromental, same for hips/elbows. Sometimes sh!t happens you know. I had two GSD's with HD, one from many generations of very good hip scores, it happens.
  4. This is a bit of a gray area. As I understand it helping out just in a challenge line up is ok but if you had shown the dog in the class it would be a no. I would question myself why I would want to enter under this judge and just how much of a relationship you have with them. Then I would decide. Might be best to ring DogsNSW and ask them.
  5. I feed my greys dry food without added water. I do raise their bowls but the jury is out on whether it actually helps or not. I don't do enforced exercise within about an hour either side but my lot are inclined to do post tea zoomies so i tyr to be mindful of that. Otherwise I cross my fingers and hope. So far so good. You could try lamb flaps to put on the weight.
  6. I thought the dog broke out of his yard when hearing the commotion and then bit the boy and woman. I thought as the time he was doing what so many other dogs would do, get in on the fun and bite. I doubt he was trying to save the boy at all but was way over stimulated by the screams etc. Of course his owners are going to put a positive spin on it and I don't blame them but I hope they fix up the fences
  7. If you were going to bring in 2 dogs then I would bring in bitches and then import semen down the track. You can't actually bring them back with you. There is quite a process to go through and being able to line up everything so that they are on the same plane would be, I think, near impossible. Then of course there is quarantine. I'd say you would be closer to $15,000 per dog then 9. I'd be busy getting to know the breeders now and once in England meet with them and then look at buying something while being guided by the breeders.
  8. I can only ask. Will do so during the week. I have used stuff from McDowell? before as well
  9. Many years ago I had a couple of young greyhound pups that needed a bit of help to get to their forever homes. Zaya was white with a few black dots and her brother Zorro was black. They were 11 this Feb just gone. Both went to reputable adoption agencies after some rehab with me. I have recently been in touch with Zaya's owner and he asked about Zorro. I lost touch with Zorro's owner years ago but I am pretty sure she was here on DOL. Ring any bells with people? Zaya is going great guns still and loving life.
  10. Interesting about the brakes cause mine has brakes and I didn't ask for them in particular. We did talk about wheels cause I wanted ones that could handle rough ground
  11. I should try and find some of the pet Peke's my parents had
  12. could be an abcess from a stray tooth getting him from your older dog, could be the occiput. Part the hair and check out the skin and see if you can see any tiny marks. If so you need to go see the vet with your pup
  13. I too have used homeopathy in the past. Sometimes it has worked, sometimes it hasn't but the yay's outweigh the nays. My vet is a qualified homeopathic.
  14. you could always take her to the vets when she doesn't need to go and work on manners whilst there as long as you don't bother the other dogs.
  15. I have a OKS trolley, from Tassie. It's pretty big but even I can manage it with my dodgy joints. Martin is so obliging, did a couple of extra things for me at no extra charge. https://sites.google.com/site/dogshowequipmentcom/ https://www.facebook.com/okslightweightshowequipment/
  16. I am 75% at breeding Phoebe later this year
  17. show line greyhounds are few and far between though and plenty have just as much prey drive as race bred.
  18. It's now being said the pup choked on a treat and is dead
  19. Her mouth could be sore. I'd persist with the kibble but maybe soak it first and sprinkle a tiny amount of parmesan cheese over it. Dog roll and chicken wings 3 or 4 times a week would most likely be ok but she must eat the chicken wing.
  20. of course they can't shut it down, it's no different to preventing cruelty to pets. Some people will always do the wrong thing no matter what. Would you like to outlaw pet ownership as well? All that can be done is make the penalties tougher and enforce them. For everyone.
  21. What about the op where they remove the ball totally and let the muscle hold everything in place? A friends dog had that done and lived a good life on 100 acres. She wasn't a working dog but they walked miles every day. Osteosarcoma of the jaw got her in the end.
  22. depending where they live it is illegal to let a greyhound off lead at a dog park. Not allowed in Vic ( or wasn't last time I checked out the laws )
  23. My current dogs both had a dew claw not correctly removed and they are tiny wee things that I occasionally dremel with the others. I agree with the breeder. You know it's there so just trim it if it ever needs it. One of my dogs is now desexed and I didn't bother getting it removed.
