becks

Standing up at that age, I would expect it to stay up unless something is done now and keep it taped or glued until adult teeth are in. Even doing this, might still have the ear in an incorrect position

Never come across that rule before Becks. I don't think there is only one dog around that would be the best for your bitch, that the beauty of having diverse lines in you breed. Plenty more fish in the sea. If its never been used before how do you know its the best.

I am surprised, it has been mentioned in this forum on many occasions when stud dogs have been discussed!

yup dampen it first so it will then slide off the hair.

Has your dog always been like this? i'd have the eyes checked for problems or think about allergies making the eyes water more then normal

some types of collars just seem more open to abuse with untrained people seeing them as a miracle cure - and wasn't there a case of police trainers stringing up dogs by their choke chains (call me old fashioned, that is what they were called before they got the PC check name)

Just because she is 14 months, doesn't mean they are going to breed from her now - better maybe to have directed them back to their breeder for guidance on picking a stud dog and maybe into breeders name to register that one litter?

what happened to the 'if he is the best dog for your bitch but owned by your worst enemy, you should still try to use that dog'?

I've never needed one for any of my minis but some people use a baby grow/onsie on their minis

I find it strange you have problems washing the vet bed, I have lots of it and it all washes well (except the rubber back one tends to shed rubber in the wash so goes into a wash bag). Some of the pieces I have would be big enough for a litter of BCs.

if I ever win the lottery guess what's coming to live with me!

me!

My friend has recently got one for her GSD and it has really improved his quality of life and he no longer has to miss the walks with his sister

bad photo of cane corso?

I think the pale colours for GR is also driven by coat - the creams have a lot more coat and therefore can be trimmed into shape more and some would find them more 'showy' most pet people i talk to prefer the darker colours!

The tram lines are there because either 1. the blade is blunt 2. you are pushing the blade through the coat and not letting the clipper guide you over speed to move 3. hair is caught up in the blade so part can't cut

Clipping with the coat growth with a 7f will give a nice finish but maybe a bit short on thinner white coats, a 5f might be better. 7f going against the coat growth will give the same length as using a 10 blade with the growth.

Vulva clipped with 10 blade, starting away from the area and clipping towards the tip, easier to hold a back leg out to the side while you clip that side of the vulva.

Scissoring is a useful skill to learn if you want a longer body - it isn't difficult to get the basics and a neat job. You can comb up hair in sections - just as a hairdresser does and either hold the hair between your fingers or hold it up with the comb, then when you catch up the next section, you still have some of the previous cut area in the hair you now have, to use as a guide to length of trim. Beginners might find it easier to start this with thinning scissors. Main thing is to minimise the number of cuts you do on each section as this will give a neater look then hacking at the same area all the time - comb twice, cut once! (to borrow a carpenters quote)

Perro de Presa Canario

crikey, is that supposed to be a good example of the breed with that conformation?

What about puppy panels and use a spare as a lid?

malinois

from the UK breed club - Tamaskan dogs are highly intelligent and need constant mental stimulation, with the correct training they can excel in obediance, agility and even heelwork to music as well as their original function as a sled dog.

Sounds like she is living in a dream world and has done nothing to research the breed other then look at photos
