adorable dogs, unfortunately its the last three words in the standard that fails them in the rspca temperament tests . few will forget the darling dog who was put down because although was a showring champion made the mistake of being "aloof" to the vet who the new owner had taken it too for a checkup and who discovered it had been debarked in another state and led to the breeders dogs being seized and charged with breaking the new Victorian law that no dog owned by a victorian could be shown if debarked in another state. Think the breeder was facing 80 years jail as the sentance was if I recall correctly ten years for each time shown or something like that. Then convinced the new owner it was not safe to keep due to the dogs obvious distrust of the vet who then let the vet put it down. Not sure if it was put down before or after the vet sent the rspca to seize the rest of the breeders dogs, terribly sad day for the breeder and the Tibbies Characteristics: Gay and assertive, highly intelligent, aloof with strangers. rscpa dont tend to read breed standards. its so lovely the tibbies like quite a few other breeds have been lucky to have stayed the same over the decades , so it can happen they don't get morphed in the name of "improved" So it is possible.

That is another problem, fellow members of the ankc tend to brand those who are not interested in showing as you just said, puppy farmers. Watching that movie last night about the man who broke the enigma code during the war and how he was bullied at school, think we tend to think but bullying ceases after you leave school, when in fact it still manifests in for example among ANKC members, a percentage of members who show tend to not only look down on those who choose not to show, but a percentage feel the need to make complaints to the rspca in hopes the resulting harrassment will get them to give up and leave. I was pretty aghast some years after the incident when my dog stringy was seized to discover the person who made the call to the rspca was none other than someone who I had considered a friend and fellow member of the chihuahua club and who used to play with him at meetings. She decided because I didn't show my dogs it was her duty to make the call that almost had him die from the injuries he received whilst they tried to find something they could charge me with. I only found out because she told a circle of what she thought was trusted friends that she had done so not realising two were also friends of mine. It was hard to forgive but no sense in carrying a grudge. interestingly some years later someone did the same to her although many of her dogs were champions, NO i was not me, no way I could bring myself to put another through what happened to me. Bullying is still alive and well unfortunately. I like pollyanna's thinking, we all need to work together for the good of the breeds, instead of sniping at those who hear a different drum and choose not to march to the tune you prefer Need to take a leaf from the Peta types and work together like they are.

its not that simple, I know a breeder that had not shown any of their dogs since the 1980's . just wasnt interested in the show scene, fast farward to 2016 Let a youngster keen to show have pick of a litter and it has won some 7 best in shows for its thrilled owner. so just because someone is not interested in the show scene is no true indicator of the quality of what they have.

I bought my first registered purebred puppy in 63, every puppy the breeders considered to be representative of the breed came with registration papers. Unless the buyer didnt want them, or the breeder did not think the puppy was sufficient standard to warrant a pedigree, a pet puppy came with a copy of its breeding. forget the year it was decided to bring in the limit register. frankly at the time I think its only purpose was to ensure every puppy born was registered to ensure an income to the KC's from every puppy born as was not the case until then. somehow in the meantime the hunt to eliminate backyard breeders began and withholding full registration papers began to be promoted as "responsible" to prevent puppy farmers and backyard breeders gaining access to full registratered dogs and puppies. I know when it began I asked where are you gaining anything? backyarders and puppy farmers don't care a fig about breeding registered dogs? All you are doing is becoming a dead end breeder? when you join and become a registered breeder one of the aims being forgotten was to encourage others to become members and continue the lines the breeders before you entrusted to you. No one seemed to be listening then or now. as others above have said, many if not the majority not only limit register everything they don't keep themselves, they are already desexed before even going to their new home, even though it has been found that such puppies end up with lifetime problems including incontinence? as for my suspicions about falling numbers of the breeds and membership, its all there in black and white Really we should thank god for the existence of Backyarders and puppy farms, they will be the only place many breeds will be found at this rate you can check the numbers yourself here http://ankc.org.au/AboutUs/?id=1206 think even the akc's are beginning to realise if this is any indication http://ankc.org.au/media/1199/a-forensic-view-of-puppy-breeding-in-australia.pdf The Ankc's have used this pool in the past to reinstate genetic diversity into dead ended breeds, how many remember the opening of the register to graded up Stumpy Tailed Cattledogs? in the end only registered breeder was Iris, until this was done. so there is precedent already to use the unregistered gene pool available

Just reminded me of my hubbies best sheepdog, Her name was maggot, her mum was named Fly

If this has been up before, apologies, but thought it may be interesting to see. for me I like the before dogs. its as if the show scene is more interested in the 'picture' than the fact the content is a living being in these examples I was at sydney Uni vet clinic this week and watched a modern german shepherd trying to go to the tiolet. his hinds were so wobbly and unable to maintain his weight . would bend uncontrollably untl he fell to either side and stepped in his own mess. sad sight to see, watched one being handled at a recent show and he too could not hold the stack without his hocks crossing each other and yet he still won his class?

Been in that situation too. thank goodness so many dogs know "go home" and or "go to bed" and obey Accordingly. when I was a kid few dogs were ever behind fences and many regarded the footpath as their humans property. so it was often a case of freeze, tell him to go home and then cross the road to proceed rather than walk on 'their' piece of footpath or risk being seen as trespassing. the kids who knew this never were bitten, well my brothers and I werent.

On the subject of vets wonder if any here would be interested in voting for the new Bondi Vet? Naturally I have a favourite. You may choose to vote for another, but this girl has the biggest heart and unstoppable courage so if one of the others doesn't get your vote. Please vote for Sarah Jane Goodwin, her dads nickname says it all, Goody Goodwin, she has her mum and dads ethics, I know most of you have no idea who she is, but she is the bravest and most determined girl. She had wanted to become a vet from the first day I met her. only a tiny tot on an equally tiny pony she joined our Pony Club and within weeks of training qualified to be the youngest team member in mounted games. She showed early her determination to do her best. Finally her dream was being realised and she was studying Vet Science when she was a passenger involved in a car accident, the other car slammed into the passenger side so violently when the ambulance and police arrived it was to find the unconscious Sarah had been thrown into the lap of the driver ,the passenger seat and that side of the car were gone, destroyed by the other car. she has no memory of the impact but as the ambulance and police said the one time a seat belt failed to hold saved her life although she sustained massive injuries including brain damage and was a long time in a coma. Although her Uni gave her a year sabbatical to recover, she refused to take it and went back as soon as she could, battling the effects of the accident she still graduated and has worked twice as hard to make up for the time lost. Her dedication to her chosen field has never wavered, nor her care for any animal that comes into her care. She has worked impossible hours including emergency night vet at Sydney Uni before her present position at Bondi. She saved a pony we bred when its owners almost lost it. researched another way to deal with what was refusing to respond to treatment and saved her, many have similar stories. Please Vote for Sarah, she is down the list at the 40 mark so many clients of the other vets are asking their friends to do the same as I am asking for Sarah, she would make an amazing Bondi Vet. If only those voting for the other vets knew half her story on her road they would be voting for her too. And PLEASE SHARE on your fb pages. This would be wonderful outcome for such a courageous young lady. https://bondivet.com/305-meet-our-top-50-vets Judging by all the votes the other vets in the 50 shortlist are getting they have a very large pool of devoted fans, Sarah needs us to get a wiggle on if she is to have a chance to become what I and all her friends believe. she would be AMAZING and an awesome ambassador as the new, Bondi Vet.

I don't think that is what maddy wants to hear, the sports people who cheat actually are bludgening themselves when you learn how badly what they have done does to their health and lifespan, as for the players who were given the stuff by their trainer who didn't care a jot about the effects it would have on their lives and health, same cruelty but hey people are dreadful so what happens bad to them doesn't count, is that the message?

you really need to add unscrupulous people are involved in all sports, look at the AFL supplements scandal, Cadel Evans cycling scandal, multiple Olympic drugs scandal's do I need to list more? the problems are not isolated to sports involving animals that are not of the homo sapien variety, I am not trying cloud the issue, but a bit of reality might not go astray

I agreed completely to her. my comment was in answer to her last sentence "why should the people in this industry be treated differently?"

The reason is because the peta types think where animals are concerned anyone with animals have no rights, those of us who have pets do not understand to a peta person your pet has been enslaved by you, and that includes guilty until PROVEN innocent. They have been working to create this mindset since the 80's, I saw the beginnings of it and questioned then, I still question now but people want to be seen to be politically correct so tend to think only bad things happen to bad people. bit like the zebra all watching the lion instead of running for their lives until its too late. suspect when one is caught the others figure, well they must have deserved it or it wouldn't have happened. That is how people tend to see it. when the same scenario happens to people who know they have not done anything wrong their trust in their previous belief is shattered. they don't tend to cope too well .

completely agree with you on that. they have a job and should be doing it. many comments seem to expect ALL greyhound owners and trainers to know who is breaking the law and do something. hence my comment.

do you realise that could be applied to all illegal activities? if only those involved were expected to police their fellows there would be no need for the police force either, there are bad people in every single walk of life why expect only those involved with animals to be held accountable for the actions of others and punished by association? do you really think those who are honest have a clue what the guy two doors down is doing? Even next door for that matter, regardless of where they live or who they are how many murders have occurred only this month and the neighbours didnt have a clue the horror the murdered was trying to survive? So feel for that poor woman who ran with her children to a neighbour seeking refuge and her bastard of a husband came after her and shot her in front of everyone and then himself. at least that bastard wont be out on bail in a few years like the rest do. should everyone in that street be tried for being complicit in the murder that took place? I am not drawing a long bow, this is what you are expecting of those in the greyhound or any other animal related industry.

the easy solution to having a non shedding breed, eg lowchen, poodle, bichon frise, just buy a clipper and a thick blade that doesnt clip to the skin and shear it every 6 to 8 weeks. They don't call the lamb clip that name for nothing, although I'm recomending the shorn sheep clip instead, so you just hve a short coated breed with a little help. think this a more like I was thinking, owner is pretty nice too. https://au.pinterest.com/pin/403353710360389672/ e.g. .https://www.google.com.au/search?q=shorn+sheep+clip&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwixz7jEud3TAhULwrwKHeTRCp4QsAQIJA&biw=1920&bih=974 Plenty of opportunity for creative fun too https://clipartfest.com/download/c41417ba2c1b772815656a80c2dac146b6d6a7f6.html or even a mohawk? https://au.pinterest.com/pin/452893306248429096/ some pretty serious imagination at play on this page! https://au.pinterest.com/pin/401383385511438087/

Yes, many people think their dog is a "registered purebred" when they show you their council microchip lifetime registration papers. Lots of confused people out there

This one is so right, but don't think many are listening or even care unfortunately ANIMAL RIGHTS CHARITIES HAVE ACHIEVED NOTHING! Animal rights charities such as animals Australia, Animal Liberation, voiceless etc, DO NOT provide any animal care what-so-ever! they're effectively wasting donations on an idealistic crusade to force others onto vegan diet, and to end all human- animal interactions/activities including pet ownership, and especially animal sports,consumption and products. If all of that money went towards groups that provide actual animal welfare, including rehabilitation, shelter, food, and rehoming, just as the law states that they must do to hold charity status... then all animals would be better off, and if these animal rights lobbyists stopped clogging up our politicians emails, and wasting MP's time with their propaganda, then, perhaps we would have less human problems in society. Animals don't belong in human politics. Animals don't need rights, they need great animal husbandry, and well-balanced regulative bodies if they are within an industry. They need well managed conservation programs if they are in the wild, and with proper protection if required. They need laws enforced if cruelty occurs, not calls for a ban of anything of that nature! We have laws in place, police at the ready, USE THEM, not your damn keyboards!" the only thing lacking is advice how to get to "USE THEM" to get the police to act? UNREAL, wonder if the Victorian Inquiry know this little gem? This says it all!! Saving Pets 17 February · If you ever comment on RSPCA shelters and charity pounds having high kill rates, the first response you'll likely get back is; "... yeah, but they don't ONLY do animal impoundment - they ALSO do animal cruelty legislation..." So let's look at that, shall we? Australia has a human population of more than 23 million. Despite our pretty small population, we gift the national RSPCA more than $141 million dollars a year. We have also gifted them nearly $240m in cash and assets. For our generous investment we get... drumroll... 104 inspectors. You read that right. 104 physical inspectors nationally. Servicing 23 million people. The average inspector's wage is $55k for a operational inspector, up to $85k for a senior inspector. Making the annual cost to hire inspectors nationally, between $5.2m and $8.8m. Or between 3% and 7% of the national RSPCA revenue. There is only two explanations for the discrepancy between the outgoing spend on inspectors vs revenue; - Either Australian's are actually pretty gosh-darn compassionate with very low rates of animal welfare transgressions; at which point the RSPCA needs much, much less money than we're giving them, OR - The RSPCA is desperately underfunding its inspectorate, meaning they're not doing the job we're paying them to do. But whatever the reason, we need to be asking, where is the rest of the money we're gifting them going, if not into safe shelters or well-resourced inspectorates? Watch it, their idea of a well resourced inspectorate is inspectors running around with guns, not even the police carry guns. Only 11 inspectors in w.a four more have quit, obviously saw the writing on the wall.

I think what the author wrote is particularly special because we all know it but so beautifully explained, so hard to console those who wonder why they buy a puppy knowing the heartbreak that will come because their lives are just too short.

so many truths to this story. and why those who have their pets taken are so traumatised too. quad-triple the distress when there was nothing wrong yet it was still taken. https://markingourterritory.com/2014/12/03/on-losing-a-dog/ no sense in putting a new post, no one is listening anyway. although the day its there turn they will be far from happy to discover you dont have to be guilty to be rolled by this lot. so just posting this link for my own information so can find it again if I want too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1083536528374841/permalink/1383767305018427/?comment_id=1384673558261135&reply_comment_id=1385140651547759&notif_t=group_comment_reply&notif_id=1492562656663561 And the lady who lost her old girl because she had long toenails. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1083536528374841/permalink/1383287378399753/

How many know this? I didnt. 23 March at 11:27 · RSPCA RAIDS, Know your rights. I will use a recent example and attach a video of the raid, and let you all know what should have happened, what did happen, and all the breaches of the law by the RSPCA. 1. Firstly and most importantly, the owner filmed and asked questions. Please make sure all of you do the same. 2. The RSPCA broke and entered through a back fence, to seize the dogs in the hope the owner would not know. 3. To brake and enter, the RSPCA “must” believe the animals are in urgent need, in this case as you can see that was not the case, so they had no right to break in, they needed to serve a warrant. 4. The inspector was asked his name, before that the owner asked who they were, the inspector “Must” show his ID (not all inspectors have the same powers, some have reduced powers) this will be on the ID, same applies to anyone with them, they must identify themselves when asked. 5. The inspectors says he is seizing the animals, well if that is the case, he must issue a seizure notice before he does and specify why the animals are being taken. 6. The inspector was not happy with the conditions of the area the animals were kept, yet they had feed, shelter and water on site, this is not an offence. 7. The inspector ought to have issued a warning or an animal welfare notice, say a notice demanding he gets vet checks or cleans up. 8. After seizure the inspector emailed the owner saying he will not be getting his dogs back, not this is not true, that is a decision for the courts. 9. When an animal is seized, at law it is held by the RSPCA on behalf of the minister, so any cost issues are between the minister and the RSPCA. 10. The inspector in that same email, said after 10 days they will be claiming costs for keeping the animals, in this case $20 boarding per day for the 5 dogs, plus vet bills and added costs, which is $700 per week. 11. Interesting the dogs were seized on the 10th of march, so the inspector in his email said they were seized on the 1st of march, so he could start asking for costs from day one, not legal. 12. The same email states “If the owner signs the animals over to the RSPCA, they will not order costs for keeping the animals” this is extortion from my point of view, and I doubt the power exists to use this action. 13. The owner at this stage has not admitted guilty of any kind and has not been charged, and a court has definitely not adjudicated. 14. My advice to the owner (not legal advice) was to write to the RSPCA and demand the weights of the animals and organise an independent vet check. To demand the return of his animals and to seek legal advice. 15. The best lesson here is that the owner asked questions and recorded what happened. What I thought should have happened, or what I would have done if I had the same powers as the inspector; I would attend the property, take photo evidence, knock on the door and introduce myself. I would ask to see the animals, offer advice and judge the reaction, if I was not happy, I would have issued an animal welfare notice to clean up the area, maybe an order to get the animals vet checked, but the dogs did appear to be in good condition. I would have returned and checked if the orders were complied with in 5 to 7 days, and in this case I know the area was cleaned up. The man had a good reason, not that the RSPCA asked him any questions, as he had been unwell, and had a friend feed his animals, hence the mess. I will pop back here and update you on where this case goes. The Animal welfare act is not a huge document to study and sections 28 through to around 35 from memory is easy reading and covers these issues. https://www.facebook.com/100001916018123/videos/pcb.1468899623183891/1468895096517677/?type=3&theater

even more interesting re the 86 who bred more than ten litters, they and the 539 who had from 5 to 10 are the ones who tend to be targeted for shutdown as puppy farmers.

https://www.facebook.com/pg/RSPCAabuse/posts/ Decided maybe this needs copy and past in case he does let it lapse. what happened to this poor man should not be allowed to be forgotten. I doubt the investigation in Vic will know of this or consider it since it happened in SA. but the problems are Australia wide. After learning that a representative of Dogs VIC made the comment that they had over 10,000 members and asked why are we being dictated to and not given equal if not greater input into state laws, instead of the government giving preference to the RSPCA VIC with less than 1,000 members. did a little googling. interesting figures can be easily found on the ankc websites. zilch to be found giving RSPCA membership figures, if the figure stated by the Dogs Vic is an indicator VERY FEW people are bothering to join RSPCA yet they are being given minority rule status by our politicians? why? even more interesting, this mans dogs were taken not because they were neglected, or needed food or water, but their yards were messy with numerous holes and shredded bedding.
