  1. Female 2 year old brindle and white whippet not desexed but is chipped any ideas who to contact

    Rescue / Rehome Officer

    Kaz Cleave 02 9653 3504 / 0418 868 577

    The club has an excellent co-ordinator and a great network of members.

    If you can't get Kaz which is very unlikely let me know and I will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you :)

  2. I think breeders should try to take in rescue dogs of their breed but only if they have the room, time and resources to do so. It doesnt help anyone if they are taking in more dogs than they can comfortably care for and if that means no more dogs than they currently own then that is just the way it is. I do think all breeders should have a back up plan for any pups they produce but from what I have learned in taking in purebreds here and there most registered breeders I have run into have always been willing to take the dogs back if they are from them and BYB never will so until the BYB go away and only reputable registered breeders are left rescue is always going to be frustrating.

  3. She was surrendered to Blacktown pound today.

    I think she is impound number 1403027.

    Why do people not invest time with their dogs.

    Our boy is the same age and a pain at the moment but we make the time to ensure he is happy.

    Just 15 mins a day makes such a difference.

    .

    Ill try to secure a rescue for her as soon as they get a picture up. Best i can do and try to ensure she doesnt fall into the hands of certain people can you get more info on her temp for me? like dogs, cats, kids etc

    She was a delight. She lived with another small dog and a 7 year old girl.

    The family then had another baby and the dog never got walked etc.

    They got rid of her because they had brush fencing and she started chewing her way out.

    With some exercise and basic training she will be a delight again.

    Thanks for looking out for her. :)

    Awesome thank you will see what I can do for her

  5. Have gotten in 2 danes, they are thin and the female we took straight to the vet for a lame leg. They did xrays and said that she has severe arthritis in her back left leg. She is on weekly injections and he put her on J/D but in my reading I am getting the idea that maybe j/d isnt the best solution so I am here to ask if I should do the j/d or maybe go with a different high quality food and give some extra fish oil in her diet. Appreciate any suggestions.

  6. This ended up being a huge mess. I figured out that the dog was pulled under another groups 16d and that the dog was still in that rescues name because they refused to sign the dog over to this rescue without a desex certificate. This rescue got really mad that the dog would not be signed over stating the dog had all the vet work done weeks prior. We organized desexing of the dog and it is now desexed and being signed over to the new owner. :thumbsup:

  7. One option is to find a good rescue and look at adopting an older one that ticks all the boxes for your family, a proper rescue will be able to match a dog to your family if they have one.

    Edited to add I have had border collies on both ends of the spectrum I had one that was the laziest dog I had ever met and then I had one that would work the cattle with me 8-9 hours a day moving cattle, branding cattle etc and he would go another 10 hours I am sure but at home he was a gem I suspect if he had not been able to work he would have been a very destructive, out of his mind dog so there are different activity levels of BCs just like other breeds.

  8. Agree that it makes no sense. That's possibly because we are only receiving tidbits of info though. We don't even know how long he may have had the dog for.

    Sounds like a load of unnecessary and possibly unwarranted drama.

    I just wanted to know if there was anything that should or could be done. seems there isnt any laws being broken so now Ill just focus on trying to help this guy if the rescue wont or cant. Thank you all for the help.

  9. They whelp around 63 days so a spay now would mean recognisable pups and some people struggle with that. But if he has no experience and nobody to hold his hand, and isn't financial enough to do vet checkups on mum, whelp, raise a healthy litter and worm/chip/desex and rehome them appropriately then a spay/abort is what should be done, no matter how squeamish it may make him.

    Why did he not do anything when she came in heat? Or start seeking help from the rescue 6wks ago?? She could have been desexed when those pups were just jellybeans and he wouldn't be complaining about it now. :confused: This story makes NO sense.

    So is this new group using their own clause or someone else's? If you get no resolution then you need to get the clause holder involved.

    I have no clue why he let it go this far :( I am waiting to hear back and I am hoping that he will take my offer to desex the mom and all the pups if it comes to that. I am hoping he will let us help him rehome the pups because the last thing we need is even more dogs landing in pounds. They are using another groups but not sure the clause holder will care TBH Ill get another message sent to reiterate they need to contact the rescue ASAP and get this sorted I think he may have been worried that they would take the dog but from what I can tell the dog was sent to Victoria so I doubt they would go to the lengths of taking the dog.

  10. It would have been fairly recently adopted as the rescue is newish. I will get all the other info from the guy and tell him to contact the rescue asap and get her booked in for desexing as I really dont think we need more puppies. Yes its NSW and I assume that the dog is registered as it would have come from a pound ill ask the guy if he has relieved the paperwork yet and assure him they cant take his dog away. I am hoping this was an oversight on the rescues part or maybe some crossed wires and someone thought the dog was desexed.

  11. Ok so what can someone do if they are sold a dog from a rescue that was advertised as desexed and is now pregnant. They are pretty upset but is there really anything they can do? Is there anywhere he can report this too? I am going to offer to help with either desexing while pregnant or at least help him get the pups and mom desexed asap and help him place the pups into good homes. What else should he do? Can he demand the rescue pay for the desexing since really he has already paid for it by adopting the dog? if he does demand it is there any chance the rescue can take the dog and puppies away from him?
