  1. pity they have a limit of 2 per customer when I own 3 dogs
  2. If you were to buy a pup from me I would basically pick for you as well. I know my pups, I know who are more laid back, more mischief making etc. I would suggest a male pup cause you already have a female but I would be asking lots of questions about your female, her likes and dislikes, tolerances etc and go from there and if I thought I had a girl who would suit better then that it the one I would suggest. If there were a couple who would suit then you might be given the choice between the two. That's what I do :D
  3. Love them but maybe Ronin needs a selfie stick on top of the harness so the camera is above his fur :D
  4. Sheridan ask the breeder what her lines do. Doesn't mean Bunny will be the same but it will give you an idea
  5. Class has been good for me cause I can see where and what I need to do. Luckily the head honcho has known me for years and is agreeable to me basically doing my own thing in class as long as it doesn't upset the others. But mainly we sit out stuff we don't want to do and stop after 3 at the most, repetitive exercises. Phoebe sees no sense in sit, sit, sit and one more sit! Neither do I are this very early stage. Luckily I am older and wiser nowadays and quite able to say no. And for the benefit of others I will say why I'm not doing whatever. i.e. no my dog needs a break right now, it's hard work for her. There is a lovely bull mastiff pup there and I noticed his owner stepped out for a few minutes last night as well. I have a 12 month minimum plan :D
  6. If you want to collect him then do it before the implant. There have been dogs that the implant was still working for extended times and at least one was sterile afterwards.
  7. It's taken a bit but we are finally getting somewhere with Phoebe's sits. She has picked it up pretty quick - as long as it was in front of me, and has even been offering it to me ( and others ). But sitting next to me has still been a mystery, until tonight, when she finally seemed to grasp the concept and while I still had to guide her Phoebe didn't immediately bounce back up but was happy to stay sitting for quite a few seconds. She does a lovely high stepping bouncy heel and turns on a dime :D I let her drive me for food. Most things in class I say no to. They still do things the old way. Teaching stays, full recalls (on lead) etc straight away. Older folks will know what I mean. The instructor tonight wanted me to give Phoebe a little tug when she drifted a bit wide. I smiled and said no. He was a bit surprised at that. Phoebe enjoys herself greatly and I am too.
  8. me too and how could the OP say the bitch stood for 4 days but she never saw a mating?
  9. I joined two panels with zip ties and then bungee corded them to the head rests
  10. depending on your dogs I have just used the Bunnings panels to prevent my dogs getting into the front
  11. just this bit. I wouldn't subject a pup to an operation for a minor hernia. I'd do what this breeder did and discount the price a little and say get it fixed when desexed.
  12. There is a greyhound guy at Chiltern Dave Jones 0438267473, Ian Bidstrup at Seymour http://www.spinalvet.com.au/contact.html, Janine Fraser at Gundowning 0419 011 801
  13. I got some clips to put the tags on but can't manage it yet. Damn dogs keep leaping about every time I think about picking up a collar
  14. I leave mine for up to 24 hrs, that's my limit. They are left outside, they are used to sleeping outside at night as that's where they sleep when I go to work (Nightshift) I had someone check them last time as I was gone for 36 hrs. Happens rarely but it has been twice this year and can't recall the time before that.
  15. I think it's a Tibbie. Those books weren't exactly a breeders bible. :laugh: My parents had pekes over 30 years ago, 2 of them that were closely related, one looked more Tibbie like, the other was more like what is seen in the ring. The 3rd, unrelated, was in between the two types.
  16. Her final act was so typical of the person Helen was. A true lady with a heart as big as herself. You will be sadly missed Helen
  17. I would rather take a dog to the pound and risk it getting put down in a humane way then have it hit by a car and slink of to die a long painful death.
  18. Boomerang tags attach directly onto the collar and that's why i like them so much; no danglies to get caught on anything. Mine have multiple collars worn for different activities and never wear a collar at home so easily transferred danglies are needed
  19. What's a worries bag? Those environmental bags that you buy and never worry about taking to the shops...well I don't I forget them every time
