I have dreamed of this as the answer to every dog owners nightmare. never seen it advertised or done though, would save countless lives all dogs, every dog, seems to be attracted to snakes like magnets? who would think something as cute and cuddly as a cavalier is actually hiding a vermin hunting terrier under that mild mannered image??? found this link https://www.snakeavoidance.com.au/

went through this with amigo, sorry I cant do better than commiserate. At least with Stringy he would eat the plateful as long as there some some chicken in it or at least the scent of chicken in or on it.

Sad really, this is a purebred dog forum and increasingly it has to become a x breed advice forum now because thanks to all the pressure on members of the ankc's not to breed, the only place people will be able to find their puppy is buying from backyards and x breeds anyway. If you doubt me, the board of dogs nsw sends out the inspector to anyone who breeds ten or more litters in any one year now. regardless of how many actual puppies were in that "litter" small breeds could mean only ten to 15 pups gets you labled a puppy farmer now. I think powerlegs advice might help. The pup will be feeling dreadfully lost in an empty backyard all alone. I tell my new puppy owner to put a clock under their bed as the ticking mimic's the heartbeat of mum and litter mates and a snuggly toy to curl up, and treat ball to fiddle with helps too. If you doubt my belief Ankc members are not the problem. I will add this link for your learning curve. http://ankc.org.au/media/6598/a-forensic-view-of-puppy-breeding-in-australiav4.pdf Two years ago I worked out the ankc's have ten years before they will no longer be financial or sufficient gene pool left. Well It finally seems recognition has finally began to settle on those in Dogs NSW, no idea if the other states are learning? Of the parlous state of the continuation of the purebred dog. How many intend attending the AGM tomorrow night to vote? https://www.dogsnsw.org.au/media/1717/agm_agenda-2018.pdf 8.3 K Hedberg BVSc to move by Special Resolution THAT the following Clause be added to the RNSWCC Articles of Association as a new Clause numbered 91:- Protocols for DNA Parentage Testing 91. Except in the situation where there is a question as to parentage and a complaint has been made to the Board of Directors, or if the Member Body so requests, there shall be no mandatory DNA Parentage Testing in New South Wales. RATIONALE: At the June 2018 ANKC Ltd Special Board meeting, it was resolved to amend ANKC Ltd Regulations Part 6-The Register & Registration by adding a new Clause 6.12, which reads:- 6.12 Parentage Proven for Registration 6.12.1 All puppies whelped after 01 January 2020 and being registered on the ANKC Ltd database as Main Registered are to be Parentage Proven by DNA. All results are to use the International Society for Animal Genetic (ISAG) marker and are to be submitted to the member body prior to registration. 6.12.2 Where a breeder makes application to upgrade a dog to the Main Register then the dog is to be Parentage Proven as per 6.12.1 prior to being upgraded. 6.12.3 Collection and testing of the DNA sample is to be conducted pursuant to protocols at Section 2 of these Regulations. 6.12.4 All dogs, frozen semen and Fertilised Ova imported into Australia from 01 January 2020 are to be Parentage Proven in accordance with this section. 6.12.5 All Frozen semen registered after 01 January 2020 is to be Parentage Proven in accordance with this section. (……….continued over) Agenda for the RNSWCC Ltd Annual General Meeting 7 November 2018 DOGS NSW Board of Directors firmly believes that mandatory DNA parentage testing is not required at this time and would deliver a negative impact for the following reasons:  Will add considerable cost to every puppy registered on the Main Register.  Will have the added effect of significantly increasing the number of puppies placed on the Limited Register.  DOGS NSW is currently experiencing, dwindling membership and shrinking income, this further impost will drive many to either stop breeding or resign their membership and move to other emerging registration bodies.  Leaving the requirements for DNA parentage testing limited to those cases where there is a clear doubt on parentage as currently occurs, is sufficient to safeguard the database.  The instigation of Australia wide testing would require a framework that currently does not exist.  DOGS NSW does not believe that it was the intention of the ANKC Ltd National Canine Health & Wellbeing Committee to endorse such a recommendation. DOGS NSW does not support this amendment to the Regulations. 9. MEETING CLOSED The page title is a good one on both counts. The purebred dog needs help to survive ... Pandering to the AR mob was never going to work, their agenda is the elimination of domestic animals. including the oodles and x breeds, the ankc's are just the beginning of the elimination process because they are easiest to target.. A friend moved to the country recently, to discover her new local council will not let her keep her two purebred, fully life registered bitches entire unless she builds a $45,000 sound proof, air conditioned kennel for them. otherwise they must be desexed? No mention of how they would stay alive in that "air conditioned shed" when the power fails as it often does even in the city? This is what AR has achieved across much of this country. She MUST build a puppy farm or she cannot keep them entire. You fell for the "we have to get rid of puppy farms," when all along this has been infiltrating councils across this land, Now unless you can build a puppy farm you cant keep your dogs for breeding anyway, tricked haven't you. What is there to be confused about? thanks to the "we have to get rid of puppy farms' the ankc members HAVE agtreed to place so many restrictions on members and how many can be bred the number of members and puppy's available has plummeted and failing a miracle and the return to serving the dogs and the members instead of AR. this forum will be serving to help the majority, which is now the x bred designers buyers who have no such restrictions....

is a case of forewarned is fore armed. it does happen but you can have them get on perfect all their lives but gee if they blow up.. petrifying, only had it happen once with two of mine and had to move super fast . one girl almost had her foreleg bitten off in a matter of seconds her leg was saved because she missed the arteries. but over half the muscles both sides had to be restitched together. another friend had one of her girls kill three of her bitches before she discovered who was the killer. it can happen. as for males even desexed ones. can too. friend had a 12 yr old lab and her sons kelpie was 18 months, she had a bad migrine and took strong tablets, woke up to find the kelpie dead beside her bed and the lab sleeping beside him.

as someone said in the thread I found, whatever happened to the golden Labrador and retriever? they have been damped down to cream and almost white from the dogs we used to see? they were not the norm 30 and 40 years ago

Inbreeding did not create the HYPP gene in Impressive, he carried the first mutation.

Inbreeding is the favourite excuse for when something went wrong, even if it's parents are completely unrelated. Instead of the fact no matter how inbred the parents a faulty gene cannot be passed on if they don't carry it. Likewise outcrossing will still express a fault if both carry it to pass on regardless of there being no inbreeding . It's the favourite blame game word today. Hestia was the result of four half siblings, all had the same sire, Shahzada, some Arabians have 27 and more crosses to him. Hestia did not carry SCIDS nor any of the inbred to Shahzada horses. It took Sala, Razaz and later imports to introduce that lethal into Australia. Two SCIDS genes the baby has no immunity, it's the same gene "the boy in the plastic bubble" had. Only a bone marrow transplant can save them.

Wonder what they make of weimariners? The entire breed is blue with many both double blue AND double chocolate. Inbreeding is the crossing of close relatives not the breeding of two unrelated blues or chocolate. Yet I have never seen one with blue gene alopecia, why because to happen there has to be the faulty Elle present, the old breeders eliminated it without the aid of DNA testing

Kind of ignored the fact that cream is RECESSIVE to black? Recessive does not mean diseased. Blue eyes are Recessive to brown eyes, haven't heard of blue eyes being associated with disease yet , well so far. Had chocolate chihuahua's for decades many long outlived their black and gold littermates? Never had an obesity problem, (unless we're overfed) either. Applied to all colours, although pearl got fat looking at food, but she was copper gold?

Really nice lot of people in the Australian Cattle Dog Club just received coopers baby pics and his beach shot from last year. the one on the beach ended up in the ACD clubs Calender for 2018

my sister had a dog with anxiety issues, came to my place and with my dogs for company she was fine, there is no one solution they are like people all different. good luck

I have bred and registered five different breeds over the decades since purchasing my first purebred, the toy Poodle Bel Ami Piccolo. regardless of the breed I and I believer the majority to breed, select to produce the best possible. have always had the breed of dog of my dad, who guarded me in my pram as a baby and toddler. Australia's best kept secret, the ACD was just sent these photos of one of my pups, I think his owner has an amazing talent for photography so thought I should share. His name is Cooper

dont guilt trip Rebanne. I was at a school sports day and there also watching was a lady with a litter of absolutely beautiful cavalier puppies. Their new owners were comming to pick them up that day but she didnt want to miss watching her daughter's sports day so combined both. as the puppies played and were rolling in the grass, I noticed they all had stitches recently removed. knowing the high incidence of hernias in some lines I expressed my sympathy how disappointed she must feel that the whole litter had to need surgery to fix them. to my surprise she blushed and stammered, "no they didn't have hernia's. I've desexed them, All the new owners insisted that although they didnt want to breed with their pup, but wanted it as a pet, but wanted main registration, so I simply desexed them all. that way I dont have to worry about them lying and they cant complain down the track when the dog wont breed because I have it on their contract they wanted a pet and didn't intend to breed." So? I asked, you haven't told them you have desexed them? she said many of her friends are doing the same thing to people who insist they want main registration. not long after I leased back one of my girls to her breeder who had lost her line due to misfortune to breed a replacement puppy. I was supposed to get second pick in return. When the puppies were born she told me there were three she couldn't decide between so I had fourth pick. The lease included the option of a second litter if she felt none of the first were up to the standard she was looking for, which seemed reasonable to me at the time when we wrote up the lease. She had seven in the first litter all female. After I picked my puppy up she called a week later to tell me she had decided to go for the second litter option, so I asked her for the girl in the litter I had really wanted but she said was one of the ones she was deciding on. To learn she had already sold all three. all on limit with desexing contracts. second litter she had 8 to choose from but sold every one . so out of 15 puppies she kept none. but my bitch returned her $35,000 none of the second litter went on main register either. which now meant I could not use her myself for well over a year. There are some strange people out there, me included Editing to add, There was no service fee payable as she owned the sire, the bitch had absolutely no problems delivering and raising both litters , the only vet expenses incurred was their vaccinations, plus the cost of feeding mum and her puppies. Which can and does happen.

A friend lost two of her puppies after being given bravecto, began with inco-ordination then degenerated so badly had to be put down. Her vet said it had never happened before so no compensation

actually it really is a dyslectic situation. people who want a puppy are continuously told they need to ensure the person with the puppies is not a puppy farmer, (terrible people who don't care for the parents let alone the puppies) must inspect, not only the owner but the parents (to ensure they aren't starving flea bags) and where they are kept to make sure they aren't puppy farmers, in which case if they suspect this is the case report them to every agency, rspca, animal welfare and local council. My favorite was the father who told his family, "get in the car, we are leaving NOW!" When the wife and kids objected, his reply was "anyone who doesn't keep their dogs in the house are puppy farmers." my hubby helped create the curricula and taught "Animal Care" at Tafe for decades. He would never allow me to raise a litter in the house from the day we married on the grounds it is not hygienic or acceptable in the home, due to the quantities of poo and smell associated with the process of raising a litter. then we have the "ethical" breeder, vet the prospect to ensure they actually do want a pet. (are not puppy farmers in disguise, ready to take their carefully raised baby and mercilessly breed him/her to death) If they dare ask for a main register puppy then they must be. lost count of the number of people who have rung me still crying from the grilling and guilt trip imposed by the previous breeder/s they had called and asked the dreaded word. Yes I am old and raised in the days newbies were encouraged and in the old days breeders were proud to main register their best puppies even when it was going to a pet home just in case later the new owner may decide to join and continue that line. no wonder there is so many problems, neither side is exactly looking at the other without acute suspicion first up anymore. Today being a dead end breeder is for some strange reason something to be proud of? Do you really think puppy farmers care a hoot about papers? To a Pet person its a source of pride their baby is good enough to be main register and could be shown or bred if they wanted to. having been a registered breeder for some 40 years my experience is 99percent of puppy buyers never breed even one litter from their puppy, let alone decide to show. But that 1% that do is what makes up the membership of that rapidly decreasing list of ankc members that so far are keeping the sinking numbers of the ankc afloat

ok absolutely nothing to do about dogs. but forget the incredible semi's apparently they are real not computer generated? Cant imagine Japan would have roads long enough or wide enough to take these, but that song, love it anyone Chinese? whats it about and its name?

I enquired as a buyer and notified the local police who came with me to see the seller. She was pretty shocked to learn she had bought a stolen puppy, the police caught the people who stole mine thanks to the lady who had advertised the puppy in gumtree, she identified the couple she bought her from, as she knew their gumtree name, and still advertising other things on gumtree and a friend rang and arranged to meet them, then the police moved in and arrested them, the police told me they were high on drugs when arrested, with both a knife and a gun in the car, that I was lucky they had stolen them when I wasn't home or may have hurt me if I had tried to stop them. Something else ,I would never have suspected either of them were professional thieves, the man had a rap sheet three inches thick. They seemed such a nice family, you really have no idea what a person is like. Well dressed, spoke nicely, nice car... really shakes your trust in people They didn't come as a result of an add either, said they had been referred by a friend who had one of my pups. So they use whatever leads they come across

THAT is why I hate the huge pressure on breeders to allow people to come and see your puppies and parents at their home... I had two stolen exactly the same way as that years ago. did get them back incredibly, one was found wandering beside a four lane highway , got the call soon as the lovely lady took her to her vets and her microchip got her back home, the other I spotted her advertised a month later on gumtree. but it was constant checking of the adds that found her, not the police. after that took to meeting people with the parents and the puppyies at the local McDonalds instead. Interestingly, received a visit that afternoon by the rspca, the person had reported they believed I was living in my car with the dogs and gave them my number plate, so the police kindly gave the rspca my address so they could come and inspect me. At least still laughing over that one so many years later. gotta love being a dog breeder, your dammed regardless , they want a puppy but you are regarded by a percentage as prostituting your fur child? no kidding, one lady said how could I breed my fur child and sell my grandchildren? Yet she still expected me to sell her a puppy? so hope those men in the video are caught

Ivy Bordeaux 9 October at 08:55 · These are the thieves that stole my 10 week old Dogue de Bordeaux yesterday. UPDATE.... Chipper was found and is doing wonderful so lucky to have their puppy back.

another interesting one too... They have done a marvellous job of micromanaging registered members of the ankc's. not much success with the invisible backyarders though. Suspect the plan is everyone will have to pay for the rspca approved logo like the chook farms. they are after the throughbreds now. Beware the RSPCA’s mischief making Rising Fast enjoyed his gallop in the 1954 Melbourne Cup so much he went for one around Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs. Picture: Mike Keating JACK THE INSIDER COLUMNIST @JacktheInsider 1:57PM OCTOBER 12, 2018 116 COMMENTS I want to let you into a little secret. There’s a big race on tomorrow. You might have heard a whisper or two earlier in the week about a race at Royal Randwick tomorrow, a weight-for-age event, featuring a host of Australia’s best sprinters (with one from the US and another from Japan) battling it out over six furlongs. The Everest is Australia’s richest racing event with combined prizemoney of $13 million. A gigantic presentation cheque will be handed to the connections of the winner featuring a six followed by six zeros with a couple of commas in the right places. READ NEXT Engine shuts down mid-flight ROBYN IRONSIDE Of course, we all know this because of the brouhaha over a brief display of the barrier draw projected onto the sails of the Sydney Opera House. A thousand or so angry folk assembled on the forecourt on Tuesday night, desperately attempting to outshine the projected images. As I quipped on Twitter, this all took place while yesterday’s eight-race card at Wyong went tragically unpromoted. It is probably true that the melee would not have had quite the impetus without Alan Jones’ intervention last week and his crude interview with the Opera House’s CEO, Louise Herron. Jones subsequently apologised. It is also true that a good number of the protesters assembled to demonstrate what they felt was a loss of public space or at least what they perceived to be a corruption of it. I understand the argument and have some sympathy for it but there is something darker at work. I watched the protest at close quarters and followed reactions on social media. I saw one tweet from a protestor in attendance declaring the throng had stuck it up Racing NSW (I am paraphrasing to avoid offending readers’ gentle sensibilities). Upon examination of his profile, I was unsurprised to find he appeared to be a hippy, a professional protestor, in need of a good scrub down with a big soapy brush. He was in fact part of a group at that protest who exploited public anger to further the call for a ban on thoroughbred racing. Back in August I wrote an article along these lines, attempting to identify the areas where the racing industry was losing the argument to animal rights’ groups. I used a figure, cited by the RSPCA, of 8500 horses going missing in any given year in recent times. After the article was published I received a number of calls from people within the industry, some angry, others calm and thoughtful. I took the time to examine the issue further and I have since learned it is nowhere near the figure cited by the RSCPA and studies undertaken by academics both within and outside the racing industry prove it. The wastage issue, while serious, is heavily overplayed by the RSPCA. The 8500-horse figure is utterly inaccurate and a piece of mischief. Industry studies examining foaling and horses that leave racing for one reason or another reveals a much lower figure. In reality, no more than a few hundred horses are found not to be rehomed. Regrettably, the RSPCA simply can’t be trusted on this issue or indeed in almost any statement it makes on the welfare of thoroughbred horses. It has become an advocate for the banning of the sport and even when it undertakes studies it cannot be relied upon to report on them rationally and fairly. My real failing in that article was to ignore my own experience over the shrieking of so-called experts. Racing is a part of my family’s history and folklore. I could tell many stories but one of my favourites relates to arguably one the greatest stayers ever to run in this country, Rising Fast. In 1954, the New Zealand gelding won Australia’s Triple Crown — the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup, a feat never achieved before or since. As a six-year-old, Rising Fast was handed to ‘Father’ Fred Hoysted for training. Fred was in his dotage at this stage, his sight failing. Rising Fast was tended to for the most part by his son, Bob. Years later Bob recalled that Rising Fast did not like being enclosed in the stables, preferring to gently graze in a paddock next door. This was all perfectly acceptable until Rising Fast decided to jump the fence and partake in a spot of tourism of the local area. I can only imagine the shock that that must have hit Bob when he discovered Rising Fast was missing. The story of Bob running down the back streets of Mentone in Melbourne’s south east, in a breathless but ultimately successful search for a horse that would in today’s money be worth at least $20 million, amuses me possibly more than it should. Rising Fast is given an apple by Thelma Williamson - wife of the horse's jockey, Bill Williamson in 1955. Picture pinted in The Advertiser on 1 Nov, 1955. Rising Fast returned to the paddock because that is what it wanted but Bob knew to keep a constant eye on it. I visited those same stables many years later and found it to be a menagerie of ducks, chickens, cats and dogs. Peering into the stables I was taken aback at the sight of an elderly pony, possibly in its thirties with teeth like a piano keyboard rendered by Salvador Dali. It was no Melbourne Cup fancy, put it that way. But there, just behind the pony, was Manikato, at that time the greatest sprinter in Australia and only the second horse after the sublime Kingston Town to win a million dollars in prizemoney. In that admirable way of animals, the pony was revered by all furred or feathered and especially by Manikato. The champion sprinter would fret in its absence, so much so that wherever Manikato went, Bob would bring the pony along for the ride. The pony became Manikato’s constant companion, the oddest of equine couples bouncing along in the float together. Fred, Bob and Bob’s brother Bon, who had been Manikato’s trainer until his premature death, were horse whisperers who trained their charges to the second. They understood horses and cared for them better than any jumped up official from the RSPCA could or does. The notion that industry people — owners, trainers, strappers, track riders and jockeys — could have their livelihoods roughly taken away at some point in future is real. As with the failed attempt to ban greyhound racing in NSW, it needs to be understood that a banning of horse racing would necessarily lead to the mass slaughter of animals. I am continually astonished to see people who I regard as otherwise rational and thoughtful espousing the line that horse racing should either be banned or regulated to within an inch of its life. But that is what the RSPCA wants and in its public mischief-making legitimises the ugly foot stompers who reside at the outer edges of animal rights activism. I worry that these people are slowly but surely winning the public over. The industry has changed since Rising Fast galloped around the streets of Mentone but what drove it then is the same force that drives it today. With almost all people in the industry that force is not just a proper regard for equine welfare but a love of horses. But don’t just take my word for it. Go to the races tomorrow and see for yourself. And have a little fun while you still can.

Even more interesting article, she was being interviewed today and she made a very good comment. http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/jacqui-lambie/9492014 " "If I hadn’t gone public, he’d be dead": Jacqui Lambie on revealing her son’s ice addiction WEDNESDAY 28 FEBRUARY 2018 9:28AM Jacqui Lambie on revealing her son’s ice addiction In 2015, Tasmania’s colourful Independent Senator Jacqui Lambie made a powerful speech in the Senate. "I am a Senator of Australia and I have a 21-year-old son who has a problem with ice," Jacqui Lambie said, "And yet even with my title, I have no control over my son. "I can’t involuntarily detox my own son, because I’m not talking to my son anymore, I’m talking to a drug."

For starters, Jacqui Lambie realised she wasn’t as “bloody Australian” as she originally thought - and was booted from Parliament amid the Citizenship fiasco last yearAnd for Jacqui Lambie’s son Dylan, his mum’s speech in Parliament ended up being a major turning point in his life."If I hadn’t gone public, like many other mums and dads out there who’ve got kids on ice, my son would either be in jail, he would be dead, or somebody else - more than likely - would have been affected probably in a negative way because of his actions," Jacqui Lambie told Hack."That ice really affected my son very very quickly. He ended up spending nearly 18 months in Toowoomba for his rehab. He’s now been clean for 2 and a half years, and he’s held down a damn good job for the last 12 months, and he’s got plenty of money in the bank."And by the way, he’s doing one step better than his mother because he’s found love" "So good on him, he’s done really really well for himself."Jacqui Lambie told Hack that Dylan didn’t speak to her for "three or four months" after her speech in Parliament and while she continued to reveal aspects of his life and addiction to the media.But she says that going public - and talking about her son when he didn’t want her to - was the kind of tough love that he needed."You know, you speak to some of those awful journalists out there who say, ‘You threw him under the bus’, well you know what, when they’ve got a child on ice, and they’re in that predicament like many hundreds of thousands of other Australian mums are, come and bloody see me."You can catch up on Tom Tilley’s interview with Jacqui Lambie here, or subscribe to Hack’s podcast.Jacqui Lambie's memoir, Rebel Without A Cause is available now.
