4 Cairn Terriers 1 Brittany 1 maltese The Cairns are my show dogs. I have a large penned yard with dozens of toys for them when Im not at home and when I am we have 'toy time' where I go out and throw toys and they play keepings off eachother..(the Cairns run as a pack unless bitches are close to being in season, then the male gets locked away and playtime induvidually. Also periodically through the day I will call them from the back glass door in the kitchen and they all run up for a treat (which they have to do somthing for) ...ie stand, watch, circle..(treats are homemade pesto pasta atm) Lots of BIG bones to chew all day. Training time for the youngster (7ish months) induviduially and the young male get some training time too (2 years) We live in a court with lots of kids who have no dogs, so they all take it in turns (supervised) to walk different dogs, so plenty of socialisation! lol The Brittany gets bike walks/runs with me, seperate 'toy time' (as her and a Cairn bitch cannot get on when we moved.) She used to be part of the main pack...she spends alot of time sleeping on our bed on her back, but does like to be with us, (on the couch, in the kitchen etc..She also has training time with my 4 year old, who gets her to sit, down, stay, come up and down the house! lol The elderly maltese just hangs out where we do, sleeps when we are out and generally just potters about (we call her our 'cat!) Looking sexy in her Warley wear coat lol with hardley any teeth and crossed eyes! I also currently have a welsh Terrier here I am showing for a couple of months, she started off as part of the pack, but after two fights and an attack on the young girl, she has her own kennel run and gets romping/ toy time when the others are crated for the night for about an hour. She also will get a walk on various days. Coming from a kennel environment with limited attention, she adores cuddles and pats and her 'people time!' I have a very busy home!! But I love it!!

oooh me please!!! Two are asleeo with OH on the bed the rest are sleeping in thier crates. (Granted it IS 5am lol! Pm on its way!

Aww man, how sad for you. Heres my latest story which you may be able to relate to but this is from a reputable breeders side (me ) My last litter all pups were great until about 3 weeks when one pup seemed quieter and more lethargic then the others...I watched him and monitered him, gave him extra food (as I though he was being bullied away from it) and let him spent one on one time with me and toys and his mum to try to perk him up. he didnt look sick though. First vaccinations he was gone over, everything was healthy... Our breed is shunt tested between 7 and 10 weeks old. ( you have to catch the vet at Werribee to do it) I actually said to her, if any of them has shunt it will be him. ....anyway, I had taken deposits for pups at 2 weeks of age and was running on a boy for myself....these families were as excited as you and I spoke to them regually and sent photos while the litter grew. Shunt results were in, Yes the puppy had Liver Shunt I was devestated. BUT, I would rather know now then have a puppy die/get very ill at 9 months! Instead of saying 'no puppy for you, I let the family earmarked for him the boy I was going to keep, I personally would feel awefull letting them down and I knew he would have a happy family life! This has been my second shunt now (and now I have a pretty good idea what lines its from), all diagnosed early BUT there is NO way in heck I would sell a sick pup!! The first pup I spent 3 days ringing round breeders to find a replacement pup (which came from SA and was tested clear!) i am so sorry this happened to you but hopefully there are more good breeders then bad!! When you find your new baby we want piccis! ;) PS I welcome any questains and even tell people to ring me for anything no matter how silly! I will show them any paperwork if they ask and they get thier pups testing records in thier puppy pack. I think I would worry if a pet person DIDNT ask questains!

Group two please!

Nice ending to a horrid story! Well done!
