This is Armand (RIP) after he destroyed his bedding

I originally glanced at this without reading what you typed and thought the fluff was snow

RIP and hugs to everyone who has lost a dear friend. I tell my dog I love him everyday.

With mandatory health testing, shouldn't there be a baseline score above which the dogs shouldn't be bred from? As it stands now, certain tests have to be done in some breeds before the pups can be registered, but even if the tests expose a problem, there is nothing stopping the dogs being bred from and the litters registered. By testing and providing proof upon registration of the litter, the breeder has abided by the rules, but there is nothing in place to stop them breeding from unhealthy dogs, or even breeding from untested dogs then having the tests done after the pups are born but before they are registered.

Then realistically, ethical breeders would have no cause for concern as they would be doing this already......they just have to submit results. I suppose from there, breeders would need to collaborate on the averages for the breed OR an average they would like to raise the bar to (depending on what is being tested. They could make it mandatory to submit the parents results as well on litter registration? If all of them are not up to scratch- they would not be allowed to register and be legally required to inform buyers of the results? It would be a difficult thing to police, enforce and get right I think. You cannot force someone not to have a litter or desex their dog as you don't think they are up to scratch.

Japanese Spitz only come in white :D

Bitch has come into season :D fingers crossed!

RIP Benson. So sad

How exciting everyone!! Keep the Pictures coming!! Still a 6 month wait here....

How horrible especially for the blind owner.....not being able to see anything which is going on. Good on everyone for stopping him for leaving. I hope the attacking dog's owner gets heavily penalized.

RIP Cindy

Poor thing
