dont think she is at all happy with what ive told the puppys breeder LOL but yes come to think of it there were midget cattledogs in the 1974's saw em looked like blue corgies and they were aust champs a neighbour at bringelly had 3 of em didnt come halfway up to my knee to me a cattle dog u have to bend to pat is undersize LOL n no im not tall defianatly a shortie

the pic of the PBGV is just what it looks like. nnnnnn just learned a neighbour has a duschund????? so? could it affect with just one parent? or would the mum still have to be a carrier as well? will be really interesting as it grows to see if it does end up looking like a duschund x cattle at birth they all looked identical soo some sluthing to do

u read my mind..... although sure looks like a purebred? welllll till u hit the forelegs

You're assuming that such dogs have a social bond with their owners - some do not. Keep a dog on a chain, fail to socialise and train it and the dog simply regards you as a food source not 'pack' Dogs that haven't had boundaries put on them and that have the right potential temperament can attack when thwarted. The few facts available don't lend themselves to any analysis of this attack I'm afraid. :cool: exactly, we had a neighbour who never trained his dog in any way. just fed him and never said no not matter how outrageous his behaviour. he woud jump up demanding to be patted, n if i dont because he was hurting me and told him to sit down he would snarl and snap at me. yet if i said nothing he would be tearing my clothes with his claws as he jumped all over me. i dreaded finding him in my yard n he was forever getting out and comming over. eventually he began biting his owners as well, at first it was just play biting but by the time he was 3 it was getting so he would grab his owner by the arm to make him drop his food faster until his clothes were torn and skin broken. he still made no attempt to train the dog not too. finally he disappeared and they said they gave him awy. to my horror they said his new owner was going to use him to breed "guard" dogs? maulers more like it i would think he had serious attitude and lack of a definate no, just made him worse. often wonder if i had tried could i have gained his respect but he frightned me, he really hurt when he went for u so i just took to the house and rang the neighbour when he got into my yard i imagine if a stranger actually entered his yard no amount of spray or tazers would have made that one back off, he would have become angrier and angrier would be my guess by his behaviour when thawarted at my place. he would go from furious over the top friendly, to savage and biting in a blink of an eye

ho yay inspector rex is on

thanks, i will give her a ring and tell her. except for the legs she looks quite normal in every other way i did feel the shoulders and joints and all felt normal. it was the actual leg bones betwen elbow and joint that are weirdly bent, never seen anything like it, save a litter of mini duchunds i saw once, remember their breeder saying it was the same gene that shortens bassets n dandi dinmonts. but in a cattle dog? totally weird

No, I understand that Steve. Living so close to these people, and owning a number of dogs myself, of course it's not great to know that there are people stealing someone else's pups almost literally under my nose. I guess I just hate seeing these people looking so concerned in the paper when (call me cynical) to me these dogs are just a money making machine for them. They are not the most well-looked after dogs in the neighbourhood put it that way. so the theives can say they were "rescuing them" can they? the reason my two stolen chipped pups were not sold by the theives for 3 months was because they had picked up kennel cough from the vets when they went for their first vaccinatios, in the case of fire, she was so ill when she was stolen the vet thought her chances of survial without her medication was nil... so major upset there, bad enough you cant take puppies for their first shots without having to run the risk of them being infected at the surgery without then then being stolen on top of that. n to spare u deciding the vet must be a shonk.... considering a large percentage of dogs that go to a vet ARE there because they are sick, vaccinating pups is risky. their vet was karen hedburg n no ive never seen a vet with two waiting rooms. one for vaccinations and a sepearte one for the sickies? have u? n when they were found and the theives arrested, what did they say to police? shes the one should be arrested, they were so sick we had to keep them for months before we could sell them,,, she should be charged with cruelty!!!!!!! like what the? they didnt know they were sick, they didnt pinch them to "save them" they would have been well in a few weeks instead of the months the poor things had to suffer before they were recovered enough to be sold on. the husband is a professional house breaker, they showed me. six pages of rap sheet! n 3 arrest warrants out for him n no they didnt take either of them to a vet, they managed to survive without any of their medication, tough little girls. sooo like steve, you saying they are puppy farmers so being robbed is ok, aint on for me either these types can be seen weekly crusing our streets, hubby spotted two suspicious looking ones went down our neighbours driveway and wrote down the number plate. rang the police and the number was fake.... even more interestig.. when attending campbelltown courthouse for the sentencing of our puppies theives, who did we see among the throng at the courthouse? the pair hubby had seen with the fake number plates.. soo they come a fair way to work each day. dont rob in their own backyard so to speak

My puppies were taken at 4 weeks and I dont chip them until 6 weeks so mine never came home. your not alone there sadly. i lost the chocolate and tan full sister to my friends Zeus along with a cream boy, they were only 4 and 5 weeks old. even knew who took them as my neighour saw her leaving my place and had the number plate writtend down. but the police wouldnt do anything. all i got was "lady, we are searching for a missing child and your going on about two puppies? " even found out her name and address but still couldnt get anything done, 4 years on she still had them but then moved so no idea where they are now, they would be 9 now, at least i know she kept them and they were seeminly well cared for, although i gather she was breeding from her and selling the pups, n no they werent microchipped.

friend has a 3 week litter. one pup is weird. the main leg bone of the forelegs are bowed outwards. like you expect in a duschund? except this pup is a cattle dog?? any ideas whats going on, its half the size of its littermates now although was same size at birth. i can fit my thumb in the curveature. the bone is certainly thick and strong. doesnt feel or look rickety, strong as and a real goer is going to take it to the vet just in case just wondering is there a dwafe gene in aust cattle dogs?

it took 3 months but my stolen microchipped pups were finally found and came home my vet told me of one that was found 3 years after he was stolen soo chips are great

the push if your bitten works well on ferrets too. as we discovered with daughters pet one. took a while but he finally learned, bite n the bit bitten, starts trying to burrow down your throat n aint nice, comfy n downright HORRIBLE cause it wont spit out n even worse feel like your going to choke on it. worked a treat. although its so hard to remind yourself DONT PULL away. was astonished by a vet once. he accidently needle stuck himself. the reaction... besides instaniously throwing the hand as far and fast as possilble , resulting in his hitting the wall so hard looked like he might have broken a few fingers... left me wondering do you flinch that badly and violently if u get nipped? know a few of mine would think this is a real fun game in the making, neddys included,,, hunt the flying fingers... crossed him off my list. so no idea if he's learned better. what worried me, the poor pup went flying too, had to catch it in mid air???

to quote a friend who is a member of the rspca.." I received a letter asking me to get all my friends to join up. as Peta is infiltrating the rspca with the intend of taking it over." that was about 9 years ago. seemed the rspca at that time was viewing it as a hostile takeover what the odds its been or being achieved now?

only last year i was asked to help "rehome " some pedigree doggies. sorry was told they were "pedigree" but that had nothing to indicate who even bred them not even a receipt when i had them scanned, no chips these were adults some 5 or 6 years old....looked like purebreds? soooo who bred em they had been bought from a friend of a friend

seems maybe too many in the cc's dont realise they cant hold people to ransom for a purebred dog anyway. its not just the oodles and doodles that are being bred out there after all. n theres a lot more people breeding than the puppy farmers either n somehow suspect they will stay under the radar being hastily constructed anyway. if they aint ever chipped. or council registered they aint on the radar are they?

is the little person beside the sign, you? don't look that happy. im not. why should i be,,, what is wrong with people, seems u go to a dog show and they are all in their little tents busy backstabbing everyone or someone in another tent. n then wonder why newbies keep walking? who wants to join in that? ive known many want to show, so go, but it finally gets them down and they stop going. as for encouraging newbies....... gee i cant count the number of people who have rang in tears......wanted a pup.... would like to try showing...but hey .... how dare you want a main registered pup. no longer welcome like it used to be 30, 40 yrs ago. n of course the best one now, any breeder mug enough to sell one with main registration can expect that "perfect" puppy back post haste for a refund. preferably full n costs of having raised it till its adult teeth have come in. its getting into adulthood and :eek: :eek: its not as perfect as it was as a puppy. so now its supposed to be not a registration that means u can show and breed from your puppy when it grows up. its apparently now a guarantee it will become an australian champion? :laugh: considering many breeders i know have run on up to 4 pups at a time to finally decide which is the best after all the maturity changes have kicked in when did this idea that main registration become a guarantee . only recently was lulled into letting an ex showi have a pup , just for fun, just want to get back into showing, yes i know love they can change and end up too .big or too small or the teeth can not come back in same as now..... well hes back. didnt mature good enough. teeth went out sooo the gallery told her return it, its not good enough, you were ripped offf. considering she had some half dozen advisers when choosing a pup. they arent to blame they were not 100 percent right about their choice. its the ooorrrible shonky breeder. n with that sort of mentality why would anyone risk handing over a main register pup any more. even without all the new wonder rules being slammed on everyone now? the members are their own enemies. if you do not encourage newbies, were will the next generation to take up the challenge come from? if you only breed to replace for your own kennels theres precious little contribution to "the breed" as a whole going on. this internal mindset descruction began some 20 years ago although i noticed the beginnings of it from the first day i took my first pup to a show so we are only watching the culmination of decades of self deception. interesting the figures of 60,000 purebred puppies registered to the estimated 1 MILLION BORN ANNUALLY..... so who bred the 940,000 others? ;) do u seriously think they all came from puppy farms? from my looking and asking theres hundreds of thousands of families who have kept their own "lines" of totally unregistered breeds going for centuaries without ever becoming a member of a canine council or ever have a officially pedigreed dog. just look at one for example, the german coolie has been a highly regarded breed in this country for ONLY a few hundred years. are any in a recognised pedigree Canine Council? NOPE soo what do we see recently, the introduction of the importation of the american registered "Australian Shepherd" same doggie kids n where did they come from? arrived in the good old us of a along with a consignment of sheep from where???? Australia..... as i foolishly asked in 1978,,, but everyone has a back yard? if you eliminate backyarders you eliminate yourself? the wheel is turning and its just about to complete its rollover looks to me anyway.... no cc's no pedigree dogs. the survivors will be the likes of the tens of thousands of purebreeds that are still and will be bred in their thousands by people who never registered theirs. i know from asking, over 99 percent of blue cattles i see, when i ask who bred it, it didnt come from a registered breeder. who won this unwinnable race? search me

YES IF nature only gave them one pup to choose from they have to accept it. well thats what i was told by breeders that actually get to select from litters of 8 to 18. yet when i suggested in the case of some of my bitches the 6 litter rule meant i get to choose from 6 pups in her lifetime wanting more to choose from is puppy farming. well from where it sit if those who told me that then if your bitch gave u 8 to 18, then there s no need for even a second litter or your puppy farming but hey, its nice to be able to sit on a fence and criticise others, one thing about the dog world, everyone has an opinion and its always ethical if its yours n anyone that disagrees is what?? :D unethical, of course silly.

really makes the case that the majority of dog breeders are not too intelliegent doesnt it? but hey... pay up....u may be dumb.....BUT U ARE SUPERIOUR :D

if she were a horse id be giving her a dose of parrafin oil, shoots anything straight through. better to be phoning the vet i think

am i sad this train wreak has happend, yes, but i couldnt figure how to get many to see it for the wreak in the making. maybe being blind, like the precious, is the better way. far less distressing when u cant see or realise your heading for, let alone, in, the kill pen. ummm whats the odds, 90 percent wouldnt have a clue what moi is talking about would they?

ok ... a hypracrite,.....i do feel for judy. ...... this is soul destroying what they have let looose. laughing at the horror the precious are feeling at realising, finally, (well some, suspect the majority are still comfortably precious(they will probably still be knitting and saying its all a mistake, ill be let out soon as they realise they arrested me by accident , right up till the execution) probably way too late to stop let alone slow the dozer thats going to roll em all. yes i will always feel sorry for the judy's . but our own have aided and abetted this.

just getting back to this, had a conversation with others some time ago, and apparently there was a couple going around in Victoria reg breeder to reg breeder homes, and asking to take the puppy/dog for walk outside their homes, and trying to nab the dogs. dont' know if they were ever successful. they apparently came to my parents home and asked my mother if they could take the little dog we had for sale outside to give it a walk, mum said, yes i will walk her for you so you could see. mum thought it was a bit odd but we never give over dogs fully in someone's arms ever. the couple said to mum they'll be back with the money, they never returned they disappeared, i said did anyone get a description of this couple? pretty scaring stuff thats there's people out there wanting to nab dogs like that and they could end up anywhere on a farm being bred to buggery or anything. I have had a litter of puppies stolen from my home. But what of single women who live in the boonies? What of people with children who dont want strangers coming into their homes? how many regsitered breeders live hundreds of kilometres from the areas where they sell their puppies? I just sold a pup to Perth and that made it impossible for me to have the new owner visit even if I wanted them to. How many reputable registered breeders sell puppies via their website? How many reputable registered breeders dont want to have their homes as open houses for anyone who wants to come and look at them ? Yet we give a tick to it on animal rights and animal welfare propoganda. Why? edited to add then there is a push for it to be made law and we are all too frightened to say - bugger off. We just agree because if we dont we are seen as the bad guys. I WASNT TOO frightened to say, look here your shooting yourself in the 80's. get told if you dont agree with this your a puppy farmer.. ... didnt shut up so im a puppy farmer. you cant speak against or your branded, im branded and it dont wash off even 30 years down the track am i happy that the precious are caught up in their own net.......finally......... ;) might have had more sympthay for em if they hadnt decided to sacrifice string for their pathetic vandetta.....

ok up until this post i was wondering what your angle was. i get it now. i still think someone is going to have to shoot me again i am sorry to say, put me out of misery. this is really doing my head in good. yes they have neglected to mention about mandatory desexing in oscar's law..... souff, you are saying me and oscar law people like as though i am part of that group, i am not, i am not part of any group, i just support closing of farms and banning sales in petshops, all the other stuff, sounds like hidden agendas, bills put forward by RSPCA and oscar law people may or may not be partnered with them don't know, i hope not.......it all sounds deeply political to me and really the reason why i say its doing my head in is because i despise politics......kennel clubs that get political absolutely despise it, it can get like that at work places too i am of the mind that i don't need it, don't want to play in it, Dogsvic are having a forum on puppy farmers in october so it will be interesting to go along and just see what will be said, they are asking what is the best way to tackle this issue, they are asking for input from their members. like DogsQLD are obviously doing, they do name and shame breeders who don't follow the code of ethics they do publish names in the gazette every month i see, and also fine the breeders in some cases or suspend their membership just depends, it seems to be different for each member. i.e. if a breeder breeds a bitch before 12 mths of age or has more litters than they are supposed to according to the rules. also i heard down the line that breeders who have bred alot of litters are being questioned why they are having so many litters. breeders that i've known for many many years. again, it is within the toy group i am speaking about not any other group. i have no idea what is going on with other groups and other breeders of these other groups. dogsvic did say in one monthly gazette that they do have a dialogue with government departments so maybe RSPCA are pushing for their stuff and dogsvic are counteracting it. so dogsvic are trying to address this situation of farmers within our ranks i see. but its a very hard issue to address i feel.....who is a farmer who isn't.....who's ethical and who isn't? how do you categorise a farmer thats reg with the ANKC? RSPCA are trying to address puppy farms and also Backyard breeders in the one hit but the problem i have with their bill and what i have read is they are trying to get through to govt by grouping reg breeders in with backyarders and farms. i think RSPCA should just concentrate on backyarders and farms and let the state controlling bodies deal with their own members RSPCA from what i have read so far have no idea about pedigree dogs but they think they know because UK put out a negative doco on them. so how would you guys address the issue of farmers within our ranks, what is the best way to deal with them? well you would understand this one asal, with our breed, they have a molera some chis? well we all got into discussion at a show one day and apparently one breeder sold a puppy with a molera, young puppy to a person who took it to a vet, and you know what the stupid vet said, put it down dogs should not have a hole in their head, so the poor pup was put down! so you can get idiot vets. i've had timid chihuahuas.....just the genes its nothing we've done to the animal all our dogs get treated the same, all end up with different personalities just like humans. but inexperienced people might see it as the dogs been hit or abused. think its important to recommend your own vets for new owners to go to rather than just randomly picking a vet that might turn out to be an idiot. The issue has already been dealt with at that level. Everyone who will be involved in making laws already knows how they will do it and what THEIR definition of a puppy farmer is.What your definition or any one else's definition isnt counted except that because most think its someone who breeds lots of dogs commercially we rally for laws which will stop people breeding dogs on farms in high numbers and we snuggle up with animal lib to do that. Do you really think animal lib and RSPCA dont know this ? The defininition of a puppy farmer is someone who breeds puppies in substandard conditions. Substandard is defined by anyone who is breeding dogs who isnt doing so according to mandatory codes for breeeding establishments [via the DPI] and anyone who isnt according to planning laws applicable in your shire. The fact is that every person in this country who breeds dogs is already under Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,state companion animals laws, mandatory codes for breeding establishments,and council planning laws. This has nothing what ever to do with whether they are breeding purebred or cross bred dogs, whether they are breeding one or 1000 dogs. So when they bring in laws which affect commercial puppy farmers those laws will affect everyone who owns a fertile bitch. So far in Victoria breeders have a bit of a blank bit there because state companion animals laws say if you own less than 5 fertile bitches you dont have to worry about laws which tell you what floors you have to have, where you put your poo, how often you clean up, how your dogs can sleep.It also says you dont need a government permit to run a domestic animal business if you are ANKC and have less than 10 fertile bitches but more than 5 and the planning laws cut in anyway for you to be able to breed dogs on your premises. Any one can be an ANKC member and being an ANKC member doesnt stop you breeding non registered dogs as long as you arent doing that with registered dogs. In NSW its anyone who ever breeds a litter.In Queensland they have a pilot program running on the gold coast which they think is the answer and RSPCA want bought in Australia wide and it is anyone who owns an entire dog they come under the laws. $379 for a licence and an inspection of your home before you get approval to keep an entire dog. In Victoria you break the law if you dont vaccinate your dogs every year , in NSW you break the law if you dont get a note from your vet to get you out of vaccinating every year. In NSW they have laws and guidelines - when I asked them when the guidelines cut in - answer - when there is a complaint. These guidelines tell me I have to feed my puppies as Im weaning them in individual bowls, they tell me I cant keep my cats water bowl in the same room as the cats feed bowl! 100% of what is going on here is a desire for the RSPCA to have more police powers Australia wide. That is they can come in seize your dogs,and any paperwork you may have which might prove your case,say anything they want about you and your dogs without you having the right to a second opinion, kill your dogs and destroy the evidence, charge you a massive bond to be able to retain ownership while its coming to court and leave you with no where to go to have them answer to anything you might say in your defence. There are many many things working against purebred breeders including the one that's been hovering to stop us breeding some of our breeds and being answerable to another agency which will over rule the ANKC and all other groups on welfare issues as has been recommended in the Bateman report and snuggling up to animal liberation and calling for the RSPCA to have more power to police more laws without adequate answerability is folly. Whats more I promise you that any minute private rescue will be under this gun too. i dont' know what to say to that except :D why don't they bring in hitler.....they might as well. getting to be a communist country with all the laws, bans and what you can have and what you can't. people making laws that benefit themselves it sounds like ;) without getting background knowledge....just point fingers. many years ago in the 80's when i was still at school there was a paper going around, fascism will come to Australia watch out. think it is already here! we all scoffed at that. hes already here dear. except he/she's called a "special constable" now

n are magistrates unbiased? i was present when Marion Alcorn was sentenced. the judges exact words "its a crime not to worm your horses" the exact same words on their adds being aired on prime time tv at the time. at the mercy of the decision of one man alone heaven help judy.

Banning the sale of dogs and cats in pet shops is at least a start and will help to make a dent in the demand for cheap 'cuties' for pet shops to make a huge profit on, thereby, hopefully reducing the number of poor souls that come into the world for this purpose. There is the problem though of private sale taking the place of pet shops, as you say. Perhaps making it illegal for unlicensed (unregistered, and in Qld's case, un-accredited breeders) to sell kittens or puppies, or even undesexed kittens or puppies would help to resolve the problem. Unfortunately, the demand for cheap puppies/kittens and the trend of promoting 'oodles' as the in thing has blown everything out of proportion. The natural attrition that used to occur in part-bred puppies/kittens has been blown out the window by the desire to pump puppies out Woolworths style with the least possible outlay in order to be able to sell to the middle man in bulk which is the only way they can possibly make any money at all. I was once approached by a pet shop for puppies, and resisting the urge to spit in her eye, I asked her how much she would pay - $140 per puppy was the response. I looked at her cages with all the dogs selling at around $1,000, and thought, 'no wonder you have the hide to ask'. I then took pleasure in telling her I wouldn't let one of my kids go to her in a fit. :D ;) hullo??? "cheap cuties" who are u kidding. saunter into any pet shop and ask how much for some puppies YOU want to sell. some guinie pigs YOU want to sell some rabbits YOU want to sell? havnt have u? im the nosy type. the "puppy" "pet" farmers are offered for example $250 for the pup sold for $1800. n the gp's and rabbits. lucky if they get offered a dollar each.....soo any sensible pet buyer shouldnt be looking at the doggie in the window. its breeder would have been thrilled to find it a good home for twice what the pet shop paid for it. from what ive seen the majority of people ive run into with a puppy or puppies in a basket and heading into a petshop, had their cute n fluffy, got into the family way by accident. maybe i either missed meeting the puppy farmer or they just dont say they are... n who would i suppose but thats not much income considering how much it costs to raise a pup or pups

LOL silly u thats the REAL agenda
