  1. Give them a call tomorrow, asal, and they will be able to help you.

    did that, she could'nt figure out why it wouldn't work, still glitches in the system she said.

    took my number for an expert to call but still waiting

    Same here and to be honest I dont have the time I've spent so far in trying to make it work . Id rather simply fill out the change of owners forms for my puppies ,send it in to council and let them do the job.

    Ill have another look in a little while to see if its any easier but Im not up for spending this much time and energy on simply doing councils job for them until its all sorted.

    I feel like you do and I've given up.

  2. I am the President of the NSW Lure Coursing Association and wrote the post Lhok shared. "Unintended consequences" aren't very comfortable on the receiving end. We are in shock but gearing up to fight this if we have to.

    May be a strange question...do you think that those highly competative in your sport could potentially be doing exactly the same as they do in Greyhound racing to improve performance?

    Unlikely.

    My bitch scored 2nd in the Sight Hounds last time she ran.

    She stays fit, with road work, free runs, slip runs, on the flirt pole and behind our own machine.

    For the record I have also raced Greyhounds and did not partake in live baiting and swabbed clean when tested.

  3. The warehousing of dogs in not uncommon. Many rescues are kept in kennels and their needs are not met.

    There was the case of the bouncing Whippets a few years ago, that were warehoused despite offers to foster them and provide them with some necessary life skills, manners and asses them in a home environment.

  4. about the only thing I could see was the "cramped cages". The majority of the dogs were fat. Those cages indoors all had what appeared to be clean newspaper, some of it a bit shredded but otherwise looked fresh.

    Looked like faeces in the outdoor runs.

    Having them piled in like that is reason enough to remove them from the premises but it didn't look filthy.

    Every time I see this happen to a registered breeder I think back to what those poor Collie people went through and it casts doubt in my mind if it's real, partly real or a Debra Tranter special

  5. If a NSW breeder

    The breeder is responsible for chipping the puppy and registering the litter with Dogs NSW

    The breeder is responsible for ensuring a change of ownership (microchip c3a) form is completed by the buyer and the breeder submits it to their council.

    The breeder is responsible for signing the back of the pedigree and forwarding the pedigree papers on to the buyer

    The buyer is then responsible for registering the puppy with their local council with the confirmation of transfer arrives from the breeders local council. It's a white a4 piece of paper.

    The buyer is responsible for transferring the puppy into their name with Dogs NSW by submitting the pedigree and appropriate fee to dogs nsw

    Sounds like the breeder has done all they need to .

  6. I don't wean as such, I introduce solids when the pups are ready (or the bitch does it for me). I provide them with a water bowl and let the bitch decide when she'd had enough.

    I find that they are sometimes still feeding the pups as they are leaving home but it's not an issue as the pups are eating and drinking on their own.

    Weaning is not a race to see who can get their pups off the bitch the earliest.

  7. Apologies in advance Troy if not allowed

    For those interested in Lure Coursing, the New South Wales Lure Coursing Association INC is officially up and running (Since September 2015)

    The trails and training days are listed in "events" and there is an April training day to be added. Please note that confirmation will be provided regarding official start times and entry details as per Dogs NSW Gazette.

  8. Plenty of dogs are shown with war wounds of one kind or another.

    Don't dwell on the incident and continue on with your training, your pup doesn't need to meet and greet other dogs. Find some people with stable dogs that you can go for short walks with at shows. Enter sweepstakes where he will have plenty of time to stand around in the ring and be surrounded by puppies (these are usually non threatening).

  9. Never had an issue with it, it's a valuable tool to have when whelping a litter and your vet is not available immediately.

    Like anything there are risks and it certainly should not be used by the inexperienced and without vet guidance.

  10. Technically the service certificate is supposed to be signed at the time of the mating.

    No one uses my dogs at stud without paying the service fee at the time of mating, at which point I'll sign the service cert and hand it over. Contract states that if your bitch fails to whelp one live pup, I will refund the service fee (less 20% for my time and costs) upon return of the service certificate.

    Might sound tough , but stud dogs owners are used and abused the world over and this puts a stop to that.
