The reason I am asking is because I wasn't given them by my breeder. He said they are on the "limited register' but all I got was the vaccination certificate and a carbon copy of the transfer of ownership. I would like to get membership with NSW ckcs club and get Bella into Agility and Flyball. Do I need these papers to do this?

Did you stop and tell them off? Also a pup that young isn't fully vaccinated either.

I think it is good idea that you wrote that he needed meds. Suddenly a free purebred dog turned into an expensive dog. You wrote about the moral side of it but how moral is it for people to find a dog and not return it? I think you did great. A friend of mine who also has a CKCS lost him when he ran after the cat out the front door, he was gone for about 2 weeks and had obviously been looked after but finally they handed him in. I really don't understand how people can deprive a pet its family and vice versa. I am glad to hear you got him back.

She is gorgeous!

Thank you for your replies!

Actually we have a big under cover area outside, the neighbourhood is nice, the side gate doesn't show her from the street because we have a lot of trees in the way and we have colour bond fences. I was thinking of getting a doggy door that allows her in and out. We have one for the screen door but she can only use that when I am home.

Hello everyone! It was recommended to me by my breeder to never leave my Cavalier outside by herself because she could be stolen, injured, escape etc. I have kept her inside because of this, she does love to explore the yard when I am at home, and I was wondering if other Cavalier owners keep their Cavaliers strictly indoor.

How long did Kyojin spend in the crate?

I have done a lot of research on training methods and food etc, I did this before I bought my puppy in order to prepare myself for her arrival. When people write articles about various types of training they are so set on it that they convince you it is the only way to get results. There is no need to 'gang up' on people for writing about the issues and findings they have come across when trailing things. With regards to the water thing, don't you ever wake up thirsty on a hot summer night?

I have to say that every 10 years or so there seems to be a new fad with how to train dogs, feed dogs etc. Many of these make me uncomfortable and then some guru says "actually that is not the right thing to do, we should all do this." Number one: Choker chains, when I was growing up I was made to put a choker chain on my dog because that is what my parents said because the 'guru's' said "This will train your dog to not pull on a lead!" Yet it didn't matter how many times you walked your dog it wheezed and coughed from pulling on the lead. Now finally they say "Choker chains aren't good" Number 2: Royal Canin - The premium pet food. My cats and pup are eating this stuff and have the worst flaky dandruffy skin! I am switching them to raw! Number 3: Raw - Provide 50 million supplements for your dog and then tell you it is cheaper. I am going to give my dog raw and some fish oil and evening primrose oil and that's it. We will see how I go. Number 4: Crate training - I think that in 10 years the guru's will say that this is cruel and not the way to train your pup. Confining a pup in a high traffic area where it can see you but not get to you? After 2 weeks of hell and no sleep with Bella, she had begun taking herself off to our Bathroom to sleep during the day. I thought "okay well that is her 'safe place' then. Just like toddlers when we put them to sleep we don't do it in the lounge room! I put her in the bathroom that night with some puppy pads, toys and water and haven't heard a peep since we have been using that as 'her place'. As for potty training, I only made head way with Bella when I stopped using the crate. I took her out after eating and sleeping and at various other times and she is doing great! The only time she has an accident now is when she is "too busy to go potty" like when she is playing with the cats. She holds it during the night too. Experts also say that you should stop giving food and water an hour before they are crated do they do not need to go during the night. I WILL NEVER DEPRIVE MY PUP OF HYDRATION! I put the puppy pads down just in case she needs them. So yeah, I am sick of the fads but interested to see what the next person who wants to bring out a book to make a buck has to say, as for following it - nah.

I have a Cavalier King Charles Pup who will have her last shot next week. I would love her to meet some friends.

They claimed they threw it in the sea because it was a hot day and the dog was hot yet they are rugged up in jackets and jumpers. They are not only cruel but stupid!

I put Advantix on my puppy Bella yesterday and she started scratching like mad! I gave her a bath and a good scrub to wash it off.

Thank you for your help! I chat on another forum where most of the people are from the UK, USA and Ireland and it is making me paranoid because almost everyone on that forum it seems has or has had a ckcs with SM.

I have a three month old puppy that I bought from a breeder on DOL and she scratches at her face, ears and shoulders a lot. I know it is early days but does anyone know if I could get an MRI scan done and how much it would cost since I am not a breeder? Can I get it done with the KC? Get in touch with your breeder and talk to them. They should be able to help you or if they can't might be able to direct you to people who can. Don't panic, you just might have an itchy pup! I emailed them over a month ago with a progress report and pics and never received a reply, I might try calling.
