Karrine

She is just beautiful - I love her name as well

Most weeks my two boys are left in the car as OH and I go into our local fruit shop - that said - if it's too hot, they stay home, windows are opened just enough so they cant jump out, they are in the backseat and buckled in. We always keep one eye on them, park in the shade and only in there for 5 minutes. Usually we are coming back from walking them or about to walk them :)

Itoy my Lhasa Apso wasn named meaning puppy in the Philipinnes - (pronounced e-toy) Suerti my dachshund x Maltese name means Lucky in the Philipinnes - (pronounced swerty) My OH is filipino hence the names - LOL

Gumtree.com is also a good place - a shame you live so far away from Brisbane - I do home based dog sitting :)

I got mine the other day as well and was surpirised by how many came in the bag! usually it's just one or two :) Mine liked them - but I still prefer to make them homemade cookies :D

ooh very interesting - I have 2 - my (4 year old on the 10th )lhasa apso and my 1 year old dachshund x maltese. We had just one dog for 2 or so years then got Suerti - and they get on well and eat and play together. We looked into getting a 3rd but council says QLD is only allowed 2 dogs per household unless on acerage or breeding... So we've stuck it at 2. I do home based dog sitting and I honestly thing if we did have a 3rd - they wouldnt get the attention they deserve in my household. Plus we are moving overseas in a couple of years so no point expanding our pack right now :laugh:

oooh you must be so proud!!!!

thank you - like I said I am not a breeder nor know a breeder - just curious :) you have all basically said what I thought... I just always wondered :)

I love video's like this :) thanks for brightening my morning :)

h I'd love this!! wish I lived in Sydney!!

so so sweet :D :laugh:

I love this - and can relate to most of them :laugh:

I used to let Itoy just roam (although he never did) in the car - but learning that when they are in the passenger seat and the air bags go off this can kill dogs (and children). He was then put in half a crate teathered into the backseat. Now we have Suerti we use a pet hammock and they are attached to the car headrest backseat always :) Side note: I love landcruiser mountain park - spent alot of my teenage years there. My uncle does most of the competitions

Itoy was desexed at 2 years and his sac is still shrivelling 1 year later - Suerti was castrated at 10 months and his is still very obvious but shrivelling slightly :)

Hi :) I would firstly llike to say I am not a breeder - both my boys are castrated and I have no intention on being a breeder - this post is just curiosity. If there was a bitch with a lovely tempement - then a dog who was lacking with social skills and not such a great temperment and they bred - would this transfer to the pups temperment or is the puppy's tmperment based on their experiences since birth or both? How important is it that both the bitch and dog have a good temperment?
