Steve, person who started the thread used word Dam. I believe that person doing her PHd mean all the respect to DOL community possible. I wish I can be in assistance as well as many others. Fact that PHd students asking for assistance here on the DOL forum must mean you have done something right within your 21 000 + messages.
Think about that!

Dam and Sire is the words in pedigree world.
O dear , I didn't realise that.
It's Ok.
Notice: Topic starter was looking for Dam not for bitches. No need to play rough. :)
More studies needed that is for sure.
Actually she was looking for bitches that were about to become Dams.
Actualy she said Dam
"What's involved?• Continuous filmingof dam and the puppies for the first 2 weeks of pups life (there is no sound onthe film and the camera is focussed on the whelping box only)
• Non-invasive testswith the puppies at 7 weeks of age including saliva swabs and an isolation test
• Canine BehavioralAssessment & Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) for the breeder to completefor the dam"
In our case security camera with the view on the web will be installed at Dams place for continues monitoring and I will be happy to share that if anyone interested in 1 year time.

Anti-dog-fighting campaigner reveals what goes on inside underground dog-fighting rings
9 MONTHS AGO JULY 02, 2014 3:02PM
Rottweilers have been used in an illegal dog fighting ring in NSW's Port Stephens region.
MEMBERS receive a text message revealing the secret location half an hour before.
They meet in bushland or on a beach, out of sight of passers-by, under cover of darkness, to place their bets.
Then, they cheer as two dogs, specifically bred to fight, tear each other apart until one of them dies.
This is the brutal reality of Australia's underground dog fighting rings.
Evidence of these clandestine clubs usually evades police and animal welfare advocates, but a new, barbaric club has been exposed overnight.
The Newcastle Herald reports that a highly organised dog-fighting ring is operating in the Hunter Valley, with up to 50 members attending and gambling thousands of dollars on matches every few months.
Participants use generators to power lights and set up temporary fencing to create a fighting ring in remote bush locations around Oyster Cove, near Anna Bay.
"Most of the time they will break it up with a whip or a big stick, but I have seen dogs fight to the death," an insider told the Herald.
''Big money changes hands and the dogs belong to the people who bring them."

But the Australian representative of the international Anti-DogFighting Campaign says this is not an isolated incident, and she knows of other hot spots for the illegal blood sport on the outskirts of Brisbane and Melbourne.
The Queensland woman, who asked for her name not to be published, said some clubs were more vicious than others, and that they ranged from regulated matches that are treated like a sport to barbaric street brawls where the animals fight to the death.
"There are the street fighters that will meet up at any random place, they will have the fight then walk off," she said.
She described one fight that occurred in a coastal town north of Brisbane on Anzac Day last year where club members were told the location of the fight via text message 30 minutes before the event. They met on a beach where the dogs fought to the death, with the carcass of the losing animal thrown into the ocean.
"They are very, very brutal," she said.
On the other end of the spectrum are the more organised groups, whose members call themselves "gentlemen fighters".
"The gentlemen fighters look after their dogs, as such. They're well-fed, kennelled, they always have water. When you can see there's a loser, the fight stops," the campaigner said.
"They see it as a sport, as such — but I see no difference."

She said ring leaders used long, flat "break sticks" to pry open dogs' jaws, they trained the dogs on treadmills, and administered steroids to the animals to pump them up for fights. Owners also conduct their own surgery to patch up their injured fighters, to evade the suspicion of vets.
American Staffordshire terriers are popular breeds to use in dog fights, as are agile pitbulls.
"They're the most loving dogs. All they want to do is please," the campaigner said.
The RSPCA website says there are "many" dog fighting rings across the country.
"These (rings) are often associated with gambling activities and other illegal practices, such as drug dealing and firearms," the site states. "Dogs … are often specifically bred for fighting and are trained to be extremely aggressive towards other dogs."
RSPCA Victoria told news.com.au that it had received reports of dog fighting in Melbourne.
"Dog fighting is most often linked with organised crime and, as an underground activity, it is difficult to locate and investigate," inspectorate manager Allie Jalbert said.
"As such, complaints to RSPCA Victoria regarding dog fighting have been minimal and investigations have not resulted in sufficient evidence to substantiate cruelty charges in recent years."

The Queenland anti-dog-fighting campaigner asked for anonymity in this story so she could continue to gather evidence against participants.
She tracks their activities by befriending people on Facebook, and then shares what information she gathers with the RSPCA. She said she had passed on names of suspected dog fighters in the Hunter Valley previously.
She also tracks dog fighters in the US.
"My evidence has been responsible for a few busts," she said.
A police spokesman said the Port Stephens Local Area Command, which looks after Oyster Cove, had not received any reports of dog fighting in the area, either formally or anecdotally.
An RSCPA NSW spokesman for the area said he was not aware of any dog fighting, but said he would investigate the Oyster Cove report.
"We hear the odd rumour but we've never been able to get any evidence," he said.
He encouraged those who may have any details about it to inform the RSCPA through its website.

When you having a large dogs cost of feeding is an issue. Keep in mind that Royal Canin dog food is an imported product, theoretically you as a consumer paying their related import(taxes, transportation, etc..,) fees.
Manufacturing of BH dog food is local. if the product is simular why paying more to overseas business.?
Of coz pros and conz to consider. The only problem with BH we have found is tiny food bits. Where RC is supplying decent size like chupa-chups :) for Large breeds specifically.
-
Recently we switched from
Royal Canin to Black Hawk. Manly because of the cost 15Kg of RC cost around 130AU. At the same time Black Hawk local brand cost 20Kg for around 100AU .
Anyone having a same experience?

Go0d On You Man!My german shepherd is 12 and half year old.
His head is grey in parts and he can't hear anymore.
He is a cancer survivor, has stiff hind legs (degenerative myelopathy) but still walks.
He walks very slowly, in fact we stop and walk, stop and walk. He dictates the pace;
however he loves his walks, sniffing around and looking at other dogs.
Whenever wherever I walk with him he is the centre of attention due to his.... age.
I keep hearing: "what an old dog", parents point him to their children again due to his age.
This morning a man walking his dog said as if disgusted: "He is sooo old, is he all right?"
Sometimes (not often) I hear "What a beautiful oldie"
I almost feel like I am not supposed to walk such an "old dog" or perhaps he has no right to live anymore(?)
I love my dog dearly and want him to have a good quality of life.
My question is : "how do people on this forum react to seeing an old dog?
Many thanks
In our small town is only on proper German Shepherd with proper owner. The dog is about 8 years old and the owner is in his respectful ages. Every time i see them working along I stop my car and watch. Oh, boy, those two do step together with a great pride. And it is such a pleasure to watch.
My answer to your question. Seen a old dog outside with an owner means a lots!

A great reward experience is important but dogs have also evolved, and we have selected for dogs that bond closely with their owner and actually care about human attention and praise.
Some dogs more so than others...
Dogs and humans have been amazingly co-dependent for years, it's only recently people starting keeping them as companionS only. There are new studies that show dogs can read our facial expressions and pick out their owners by only looking at a photo of their eyes!!! Pretty amazing.
Treating a dog as a sub-class in training never paid off in my case. Think about your dog as your mate and they sense that and they do best they could to prove that. Too easy to scare the dog and very hard to become an authority.

Just had a phone conversation with representative from RKF. You right they already have a translation of the breed standard in english.
I have paid 300+ to translate the document to english and the results are appalling.
Check this:
Never thought my dog is suitable for desktop use... :)

Just send an e-mail to them.You only need RKF information.
You can call them and they will provide their documents in English for you for a fee.
Will they?! None on their website.
At the moment I am doing what ANKC advised me to do. Getting an official translation from RKF website of the breed standard for use by ANKC.
Have you contacted the RKF?

Bjelkier(lat)-Белка(rus)-Squirrel(eng) . Nothing about white in Bjelkier :)
I have replied toLaika is a type of dog you cannot put in the brackets of breeding rules.
Why are you still going on about that discussion?
That's not really friendly, Alexsandr.
You sound like you are trying to put Yonjuro down.
On a forum, people are allowed to have different thoughts.
with my opinion about Laika dogs. I think I can because I know this type of dog. I raised them and I use to hunt with them.
Besides I would never bring one to Australia it will be just simply cruel to the dog which is developed to love the snow 9 months a year and not feeling comfortable on +25C heat.
Nobody trying to put anybody down. Apologize if it sounds like. In fact I have a great respect to Yonjuro He've got a russian missus and i've got one too! I believe we both know how tough live can be! :)<br style="font-size: 9pt;">
As someone who breeds Samoyeds I don't believe that to be the case at all. The samoyeds in Australia cope extremely well with our hot climate and I don't believe they suffer in the slightest with proper care.
Also not all spitz type dogs in russia were only known as Laika. Samoyeds were known as Bjelkier, white dog that breeds white
They are great wild Squirrel hunters. :)
Also they can do well/happy in Tasmania or in areas of AU such as Blue mountains(NSW). Western Australia is just not their cup of tea! :)

I know it's a bit late, but I have a breed book at my work, with all breeds we're used to, and obscure ones as well. This is what I found re. Laika breeds: the first one, the Russo-European Laika, explains the most about the origins.
Thank You. It just prove my point "Breed history. Untill the 1800s, all spits-type dogs in Russia were called laikas." As far as I know it s still the same. I could not find any thing database a like of the breed. I have found only one kennel in Russia which distributes puppies of this Siberian types of dog from Moscow. They just sell the puppies.
and by the way Husky is originated in US(Alaska) very close 2km away from Russian Kamchatka where
took a shot of him with a lovely Laika named Volk (Wolf in English) in Kamchatka - Eastern Russia. I bet "Vok" have no pure breed papers. :) And why should he need that if he already proved that he is Laika enough any local will tell you that. :)

At the end of the day if ANKC will not recognise Us we will have to take our own way. Set up a company and keep breeding as best we could! :)

You're on a vertical learning curve Aleksandr.
Many folk who import a new breed are already ANKC members and aware of the import regulations before the process starts.
Is the EES recognised in any English speaking country?
The Dog Registry of America does. But what standing would /could they have here?
None. If it had been the KC or the AKC or similar, it would possibly have been easier.
Aleksandr that fine print about "full export pedigrees" is very important.
Just hoping becouse RKF - Russian Kynological Federation has been accepted as a federated member of the FCI http://www.fci.be/en/ We may have a chance..
