kdf I was replying to the OP. They were the ones mentioning greyhounds at shows. If I was replying to you I would have quoted you.

Not all greyhounds at shows are racebred. Most are actually show bred ones and are very much in the minority. I have show bred ones and I can assure you they are much loved pets and I don't know of a single one put down cause they weren't successful in the ring.

Glad you are happy with the outcome, here's to continued smooth sailing :)

that is what I would do as well. Even if the tubes are tied you still have to treat her as an entire bitch when she is in season.

you can get baby gates with a little cat door down the bottom. I've seen them on places like deals direct.

very cute!

I feed supercoat and optimum to my greyhounds, pups and adults. They do well on it. No reason you can't keep your pup on it.

What's the difference between these and the Curly Coat Retriever please

My nearly 7 month old greyhound pup has been running with the adults since she was 7 weeks old, firstly with her litter mates and was 16 weeks old once the others left. I've always left pups alone with the adult dogs and never had a problem. As Archie and your girl will most likely not live together all their lives it would be a good idea to teach them both to be capable of living alone and independently. I don't make any special effort to teach mine I must admit, it just seems to happen.

you will still have plenty of opportunity to teach Remy where to go to toilet as I am assuming she will be inside quite often with you when you are home.

ears are totally wrong, would drive me batty having that in the house

I thought it was for a Cert 4 in some Tafe course?

K9+ for me as well

VCA says pups to be registered in Victoria must be whelped in Victoria. I asked this very same question of them and was told bitch must whelp in Vic for pups to be registered in Vic. I didn't ask what would happen if I didn't bring the bitch back for whelping. Ask them to point you towards the regulation. Never take the word of the office staff in any state for a regulation. You need to read it yourself to make sure they have not got it wrong. They cannot possibly know every regulation off the top of their head. The ANKC are the registering body, not Dogs Vic, who just process the registration. There is nothing on a registration application asking where the litter was whelped, it just requires that the bitch is owned by the prefix holder and that the prefix holder is resident in the state where they are registered. Yes there is in Victoria

incorrect for Victoria as I have stated previously

no ( except for Vic ) pups must be registered in the same state as the prefix holder, so pups can be whelped in NSW and registered in Qld.

no problems then :)

not in Victoria. For the VCA to register the pups they must be born in the state. Went through this last year.

Thanks Rappie

not tested for safety on breeding animals, no way I would use it

I was told animals can't have strokes years ago but never told why. I had an elderly dog, 13, fine one minute, unable to get up, mover her backs legs the next. She was PTS Then I had a 14 yo cat, same thing but she did this horrible meowing thing then was dragging herself around the floor by her front legs. Awful. Taken to vet and PTS. Vet said could have been something like a stroke or possible she had a tumour or similar on her spine which broke through. At least my dog was peaceful with it.

It's about that high without the wheels. I bought it mainly for moving all my stuff around, but it will fit a female greyhound in it ok for short periods. My boy would fit but he would be a bit squashed. I had an older wooden model for carting my stuff around in but it's past it's use by date so I shouted myself a chrissie present. :D
