I know lab people who show and work their dogs. Just because they are show types does not mean they can't work.

My puppies while with me, don't get treats as such but if you sent up a polar fleece blankie I'd make sure the pups slept on it in the preceding 24 hrs before pickup. Wouldn't be pristine but it sure would smell great to your pup

Yes happened once with me in the old car. Impossible to happen in the Kia as the window's are so much higher then the dogs heads.

Puppies are such wonderful time wasters, you can never have too many photo's (or video's) :D

History Litter Winter Litter

do you know what you are asking for?

I never thought she looked pregnant until I looked at the photo's :laugh: The changes were very subtle when living with her. :)

oh there are lot's of photo's so maybe linking would be better :laugh: First litter 2 pups born Second litter 10 pups born

Have a friend who uses one of these for her elderly black greyhound on their morning walks. I use the chamois type cool coats on my lot at shows, occasionally at home

I took photo's of Fern every week for both her litters. One litter of two and one of 10, 8 surviving. I took them side on, from above and also laying down. I love looking back at them. I didn't weigh her though. Bit hard to weigh a greyhound at home :D Lovely memories Kirislin

not a supermarket trolley but a moving type one, sometimes used at dog shows to move stuff around

How odd. 3 people saying it wasn't the dog at all. I can't watch the video for some reason, do they say what they believe caused the injury? --Lhok one bloke said the male dog owner hit the woman in the face with a tolley and a woman said he was swinging two lumps of wood around.

So true, my greyhound bitch sounds like one of the hounds from baskerville! Having had 5 GSD's in the past my vote is for a GSD and I never noticed the shedding being too bad.

I've got a groomer friend who works at a vets connected to a pet store in Sydney. Basically one big building divided.

I found reading the breed standard and breeding restrictions interesting. As we have been talking colour in another thread this was what caught my eye: "At present, white (cream: e/e) is a non-accepted coat color for the breed and a disqualifying fault for showing; however, registered white colored Tamaskan Dogs may currently be used for breeding if they really are the best representation from their litter combination. Our aim is to gradually eliminate this coat color over time without unnecessarily narrowing the gene pool in the process. At present, solid black (recessive or dominant black), liver (b/b), piebald (extreme white spotting S/S), and dilute blue (d/d) are non-accepted coat colors for the breed and are disqualifying faults for showing. Tamaskan Dogs of this color may not be used for breeding." As they are farsighted enough to recognise limiting the gene pool can be risky I was then surprised they totally eliminate other colours. They are trying to breed a dog that looks very much like a wolf. Part of their standard requires each dog to have a mask (like a wolf) but wolves come in black so would be interesting to see why that colour can't be used for breeding. I understand the dilutes and white spotting being refused. The website was a very interesting read.

No sorry, I dont. She must really love him to go to all that expense for a pet because I got the impression it cost alot more than it normally would to import a dog. Except for the possible DNA test it wouldn't have cost her any more then any other dog to import. Travel costs, wait times, health test etc can vary a lot depending on which country they are exported from but not because of the breed.

Cream is not listed as a colour option on the Greyhound database. I've seen some very, very pale fawns. As has been said before what colour a dog is registered as may be different to what they actually are. Yep, that's what I'm thinking. Probably lots of incorrect colour namings, given all the things that can change what we see. On the bright side, more accurate and generally knowledgeable on matters relating to colour than the general public. I had a pound contact me to say they had a brown greyhound so I asked for a picture, thinking it very odd that we'd have a dun show up here in a pound but yeah, no. It was a thoroughly black greyhound with some kennel coat *eye roll* As for fawn.. it's usually "tan", "beige" or one time.. "camel". I get the camel colour totally :D

Oh wow! I didn't know what country those dogs were in. Do you know if this colour is passed down through certain lines? Was it just one puppy in the litter or several with this colour? My understanding is it comes from Irish lines.

Oh wow! They look like little snowstorms! I love the snow flake colour

do judges mouth bulldogs? I'd wait until he is relaxed, maybe a bit sleepy and rub his ears gently. Then expand a bit further down his face. Use treats. Do you have to clean his face folds? That could make him a bit touchy. And ring your breeder and ask them what they recommend. :) I've got greyhounds so very easy to very quickly raise their lips, let go and treat.

Agree with this. First with the GSD's and now with the Greyhounds.

considering that there is usually only one bitch in a pack allowed to reproduce I guess without 24/7 supervision you wouldn't be able to use both for breeding, so this is IMO a very unique scenario. For sure you have a lot of experience with your dogs, nerveless I doubt that the dogs' knowledge about your expectations would prevent them from fighting to sort out the rank if left for some time without supervision. we are talking about dogs not wolves or other wild animals. And often in the wild the underlings do manage to breed; they might get killed for their efforts but they do breed. As for the rest well it's just dribble

I'd amputate as well. Happy tail can be very hard to fix
