Yep, junior handles will jump at the chance.

There are always people willing to help out.

I am often lucky enough - when I do get to shows - to be allowed to play with Dobes and GSP's and sometimes Staffords as well :)

I am no professional handler but I give it my best :)

Thanks! OSoSwift if you ever want to play with a FCR I have a couple spare :)

Does anyone in Perth WA know anyone that will handle other peoples dogs in the show ring. My usual handler now works on Saturdays so I need someone that can show my Flat Coated Retriever Bitch for me.

After a very long night Rumour safely delivered 9 very shiney black Jelly Beans! 6 boys and 3 girls. Milkbar is in full production and mother is catching up with her sleep, while midwife is yet to put her head down!

We have a litter of Flat coated retrievers due 24th April, possibly a day or two early by the size of her

Hi All,

I am going to bring some semen in from the Czech Republic before September 2015, so just wondering if anyone is thinking the same and would like to share shipping.

Hi,

I am looking for a one on one trainer to start obedience with my pup. Anyone in the Maddington/Gosnells/canningvale/forrestfield area. I have contacted a couple of clubs but nothing as yet so thought I would ask on here :D

Aw I wish I weren't in Vic! I have a 6 m.o FCR too (Not a skyehaven baby?)

I'm a newbie too so no use there either.

I have to say though, Gus is the clumsiest, least agile dog ever. We wanted to do agility but ruled that sucker out as he's just such a dag!

Ha yes they are very clumsy at this age! Polly is all legs and not co-ordination most times! they do get out of it eventually though! No I kept her from my last litter... I have been wanting to get into the obdeidence and agility for a while but time is my enemy sometimes so decided that I need to make the time and thought if I found a buddy it would be easier to commit and more fun than on my own :)

Hi All,

I live in Perth South of the River, and am looking at staring obedience and possibly Agility with my Flatcoats, I have a 5yr,3yr and 6mth old.

I would like to find a training buddy who knows the ropes and could help us get started.

OOOPS!! just relished this should be under September :D

The last two pups as photobucket decided to play nice!

Yellow boy

Purple Girl - Keeper until i can find a show home.

and just for the fun of it...

The pups are 6 1/2 weeks old and just thriving!! they have turned into Urban Terrorist!! I don't think the garden is going to be looking to good by the time they all go to their new homes . Anyway here are some pictures.

Blue Boy - going to a show home

Red Boy

Orange Boy

Rumour had her pups Friday. 1 girl and 5 boys, unfortuately she laid on one little boy and he couldn't be revived

Mother and remaining babies are all doing well and paranoid grandma (me!) still has loads of sleep to catch up on!

Congratulations Missymoo glad it all worked out well :)

Only one more to go for September now

Could be soon, temp was down to 37 degrees at 6am this morning then up to 37 1/2 at 7:45am, she is a maiden so have no idea what to expect but the pups are moving around alot..her tummy looks like something out of Alien the ways its moving!

We have 4 days to go and counting down...Rumour has had enough and is enjoying a back massage :D

I have had my bitch AI using Frozen, cost was $850.00, she was already in the East (we are in WA) being campained by a friend so it was convienent that she came into season when she did, :) She is due on the 28th September and look like she is ready to explode with still 2 weeks to go Flight cost for a 25kg FCR each way was around $370.00 Plus stud fee......

I start weaning the pups on raw chicken necks and wings...mushed and crushed so pups can chew and suck them. My adult dogs have a mixed diet of chicken turkey and marrow bones as well as "BARF" never had a problem....mum also like to collect the horse poo and bring it up to the pups!!! I would seek out a better educated Vet.. I think that you don't need to think too much about what if good and what is not just use your common sence!

Hi Everyone,

Congratulations to everyone with healthy pups and mums!! I have a litter of Flatcoated Retievers due 28th Sept, Maiden bitch AIed to a Swedish Imp, very excited about this litter as I think we are going to get some really nice pups! 3 weeks to go and she is rounding up nicely and just glowing!

Well the some of the babies went to their new homes this weekend, from all reports back they are doing fine and settling in nicely to their new homes...very pleased granma here :)

Aww what a cutie!!! You must be so pleased with the way she is thriving and how good mum is

Aww all the puppies are growing so fast! Mine moved outside today! Thanks Goodness!! They would have been outside last week but as we have been averaging 38-42 degrees I decided it was a bit hot. Cooler weather is on its way..low 30's so they love their new puppy palace, I will get some photos tomorrow when its daytime.

Must be time for an update :) Kids will be 5 weeks on Monday. wow times flies! Photo spam warning!!

We have teeth!

not sharing!

Sleeping as only puppies sleep!

the below pic was last week. Its amazing how much they grow in such a short time..check out the difference in ears from the above pic to the below one.

Very interesting...I think my breed is one to not have changed that much over the years..but they are not as popular as those that have changed over the years..
