Update: Vet Condemns Couples Outrage Over $37,000 Vet Bill
asal replied to Deeds's topic in In The News
many vets these days simply assure the frantic owners "i will do all I can". and unless they ask they will not be given a quote for possible costs. then when its dies, are assured "Remember you know you did all you can for your pet" then get the bill. seen it so often. In the case of my filly, I had realised soon as I unloaded her she had given up and asked for her to be put down but he would not go off his assurance patter "am sure I can save her if you let me, at least let me try" and kept it up until I agreed. 35 minutes later ask my permission to put her down as she had collapsed and then hands me a bill for 1800 ? 800 of that was for supposedly administering 10 litres of Hartmans ? he had hooked it up but she collapsed 14 minutes later?????? no way can you infuse 10 litres in 15 minutes! leaving me wondering how much was the rest of the bill padded. be very careful with some, me! never used that practice again -

Update: Vet Condemns Couples Outrage Over $37,000 Vet Bill
asal replied to Deeds's topic in In The News
had that problem with a horse vet when I came home to find my favourite with a ruptured stomach. he ran up an $1800 bill in 25 minutes "trying to save her" when blind freddy coujd see she was ready to collapse and die. but nup he kept pushing and doing more useless tests until he finally admitted defeat when she collapsed and went into shock -
from the tone of the letter I really was worried what I would find, so, pleasantly surprised when I did meet her puppy. A major part of her distress and depression was obviously the puppies nails, Sharp as razors, her hands and skin of her arms and legs is a mess of cuts, many quite deep, Her daughter had come recently and removed their sharp tips, the day before, I learned, once they were clipped and filed smooth she is no longer afraid of her nails now. Yes, she sure liked to bite but that was only because she had never said no, not wanting to hurt her feelings. I left feeling pretty amazed now quickly her depression has been resolved and her confidence in her puppy has grown. As for the attacking shoes and legs. No! has resolved that just as quickly, she really is a delightful puppy. I did cheat, I brought an old horse halter to distract her and play with too, while we were talking. The smells on it fascinated her. So it will be brought out when visitors arrive to keep her occupied during the initial excitement of new visitors and burn off the excess energy on the halter and not the people. . only ten minutes playing with the halter and she had burned off the overexcitement and happy to lay on laps or beside you quietly, perfect little lady. She reports it is working well. She had completely forgotten the importance of taking her out to toilet after meals and after waking from a nap. Let alone praise each time she does go outside. Bit gee whizzed how easily things have turned around.

So happy to report, went and visited small rough nut this morning. Less than 10 minutes of , No and ah! She stopped bite immediately I made either sound, never bit again for the next 20 minutes. Not just not hands or fingers, no biting shoes, socks or clothes, very impressed , such a quick learner, loves cuddles and tummy rubs yet didn't get over excited or forget new manners. Her human is delighted and more confident now to say no when needed. As others suspected, had forgotten puppies Need to be taught, NO! Being such an eager to please bub, should be much better from now, going to be more active in taking her to toilet after meals and sleep as well as immediate praise when she does. Will Check their progress in a few days , so relieved to have been able to help but what darling smart eager to please puppy bub too

so true. the submission by the murry grey stud I would have thought would have been enough to show just how vindictive they are and how totally they destroy lives of even the PROVEN INNOCENT............ yet the AJP initiated Parliamentary investigation, instead recommended more power be given to them instead? There is something going on that continues to make them a sacred cow to the government? regardless how much these powers are abused. Until that can be discovered and stopped things will only get worse

I received this letter today . From a lady who had bought Jaffa and Spot (also cavalier king Charles) from me 13 years previously. I have no idea who she purchased Ruby the puppy being referred too. My puppies understand "NO" and "be gentle" from the get go. But she is obviously very much in need of help. Only had her two weeks. "How are you the family and all of your beautiful animals? we are all well except for dealing with our new 10 week old cavalier, ruby. there's no sign of toilet training working, the biggest problem, though, is that ruby is very aggressive, bordering on vicious. I hope you can help. I have so many socks with holes from her nipping at our ankles. I can't go near her until I have on sturdy shoes. she bites toes and she is so strong in the jaw that I fear injury. When she tries to jump onto my lap from the floor I get scratches and tooth damage on my hands and legs. If I start with her on my lap she scratches and bites just as hard. She sleeps well in the bathroom. Have bee trying the toilet training pads but she just ignores them. I cant let the grandchildren near her - two are scared of dogs to start with. If you have any ideas, I'd be grateful. My shih Tsu and Jaffa and Spot did not give any of the trouble like this, my four big dogs were lovely. I dont know what to do." It is accepted puppies naturally do not want to defecate in their sleeping area. For this reason I have a separate area from their sleeping area with shavings for the puppies and mum to go, as well as plenty of lawn to play and hoon. my dogs are raised outside, as my hubby will not allowed me to raise a litter in the house, no arguments. one thing I have discovered is without fail all my puppies look to go outside to toilet? Which is very much appreciated by their new homes. This lady really needs help and I am not sure how to help. my instinct is make the brat a run outside so she has to learn to toilet outside for starters ? Then she cant hurt everyone as she pleases or make so much mess inside? I expect you will all be horrified I said that. but im lucky. mine never make a mess inside. or the ones gone to new homes, so I am at a loss what would work for her? But being so young and small be pretty cold outside now?

was sent this today. https://www.facebook.com/mark.aldridge.1232/videos/3033870310255918 Never ceases to amaze me how its perfectly fine for the rspca to send out "press releases" to be published months to years before any court action against the "alleged" person and even named in many instances. yet no other "alleged" offender is allowed to be tried by media in that fashion, let alone, named and shamed in the press?

very true and we all know what happens to a tall poppy in Australia. although I do find a certain irony that we celebrate anzac day with what? the red poppy? What happened to Adrienne is all to common the attitude to anyone who bred a litter, even among the very members of DogsNSW. So quick to explain they either never breed or only one litter. Anyone else who bred more is spoken to and treated the same as Adriene was by that lady in the street, but if you bred more than two litters so will you by your fellow members who feel they are ethical and responsible because they are either dead end kennels because no pup is main registered unless they kept it, or dont breed anyway. I do not blame anyone for not breeding anymore, it is not worth the stress and condemnation earned or not. Never forget the heartbroken friend who had joined her breed club worked her herself to a standstill for the club and what happened? Treated like dirt because the thought police perusing the litter for sale adds, added up she had bred six litters that year? The average litter size was 2 to 3 so still less than one big breed litter anyway? She had 8 bitches for goodness sake, (she had been having so much fun showing them and organising food for the club members at ever show, as well as finding great trophies for the winners) so either leave all but one or two empty annually or face the humiliation she did when accused of being a puppy farmer. That was some 12 years ago and this persecution has simply been escalating from among the membership to spread to the general public ever since. watching the number of puppies registered annually I suspected the ankc was heading into the red, hence the increasing registration fees but I could only suspect what what happening until some one had the foresight to put together the Forensic View of puppy breeding in Australia. There it is for all to see where this is heading, the figures are from 2016 and the downhill trend is not slowing, in a population expanding by the millions finding a pet IS going to be harder and harder despite the pounds being full of unwanted breeds which come from where? well here the figures tell you. https://ankc.org.au/media/6598/a-forensic-view-of-puppy-breeding-in-australiav4.pdf

I am astounded by the anti breeder sentiment on an ankc site, let alone so many other sites for purebred dogs including face plant? people saying they "rescued" their pup they bought, dont even mention it came from an ankc breeder to prevent being made to feel bad because it came from a breeder if they had? How do I know, puppies i bred I have seen their photos posted by their proud new owner, but not game to say other than "this is my darling rescue" That shows how much pressure is being put on people to adopt/rescue now days . Let alone the pressure to never risk breeding a litter in the future. I realised being a breeder was becoming "being a witch" decades ago. anyone who looks back to my comments from 1999 can verify where I saw this was heading. no way did I want to be proven right because this one is leading to the end of ankc dogs and just about every other register. what is it with the human race? the search to find a scapegoat and eliminate it? To register a purebred pup is now 66 dollars for both main and limit. Made the comment I suspect it will be $100 soon to keep the ankc in the black, by the rueful laugh he gave he didn't disagree with me.

no idea if it is true, but told PETA own shares in facebook and demanded the rules

I accidently deleted the page where I saw it and copied if from, now cant remember where it was advertised.

Thoughtful article on brachy breeding and vet responsibility
asal replied to sandgrubber's topic in General Dog Discussion
The term "backyard breeder" incorporates EVERYONE who has a backyard? Which is what percentage of Australians who do not live in a high rise, caravan park or a tent? I have never understood why the term was so enthusiastically embraced to define who should be eliminated? the stupidity of the human race continues to amaze me. -

yet the ankc can and has opened the register. Remember when it had classification days and accepted classified Australian stumpy tailed cattledogs into the "development register" and ultimately full pedigree of their descendants. so they have proven this can be done. I expect this will become the case down the track for many breeds facing extinction within the register. As the Stumpies proved, there are tens of thousands being bred outside the ankc to replace the gene pool within the ankc. Certainly if the ankc wants to continue to exist. -

yes, spot on. It has been interesting to see how the mindset changed from welcome new people, then changed, that to be ethical and responsible become a dead end kennel with all puppies on limit register. As well as the parallel campaign to drive from the membership anyone the self appointed thought police decide is a dreaded puppy farmer/backyard breeder, despite the fact even the thought police have what? A backyard? so the end is now in sight. -
you were lucky you asked the right questions. if you dont, the impression given is we will do our best to save. (but not give you the chances. unless you ask first) over the years i have learned to be suspicious of runts, many times it turns out there is a reason and its either kidney or liver malfunction. first thing my vet does is check for both. way before they are considered candidates for a new home. another not often seen, the brain shunt is blocked. can be operated on for a child with this condition but no tubes small enough to save a puppy.

vilifying line breeding, inbreeding as the sole cause the the destruction of so many breeds is completely ignoring the REAL elephant in the room. The bloody show scene where as one so called "top breeder IN THIS COUNTRY" told me to my face. "Hernias are not a disqualification in the ring. NO WAY will i keep a hernia free puppy if its herniated sibling can beat it in the ring. In fact I doubt you will find a hernia free cavalier within 12 years!" That was 20 years ago now. That is the mindset of far too many of the Ethical, Responsible, Show breeder. Wins take precedence over any health issues. Has been ever since showing began. If a flatter face is winning then even flatter faces will be in the ring soon. If bigger heads win, the so be it, even if every litter has to be a caesarean. Generations of Caesarean's. long as the blue ribbons keep coming. The hall mark of the Ethical, Responsible .. BLUE Ribbons and CHALLEGE CERTIFICATES. But hey, dont blame this on the real cause of all these unhealthy herniated, squashed faced, poppy eyed, genetic disaster ridden beauties. blame it on line breeding and inbreeding, even when there is no instance of it in the pedigree. Surely we cant address the real cause can we? the banana backed German shepherd didn't just appear in a flash of light it was morphed although the politically correct words are "improved" you dont maintain a standard anymore. you "improve it" so many fail to realise its not the health or well being that is being improved. Its it ribbon winning chances at any cost. Persian cats had a face once. their faces have been morphed clean off them over the past decades. has it improved their health? no way, now they are as Brachycephalic as so many dog breeds . their tear ducts cant work, who is going to tell me this happened because of line breeding and inbreeding???? who is going to admit it was the race to win a show that has made these animals lives a misery? handed the destruction of all who breed by the AR mob on a platter in the process. Blame it on inbreeding. blame it on line breeding, but never admit the real cause is going to achieve what? -
exactly the only people who comply are registered breeders and there are less and less every year the smear attacks are just so bad

Vulnerable Breed Competition Final | Crufts 2023
asal replied to Boronia's topic in General Dog Discussion
exactly. even when they brought in the 5 or was it 6 litter rule I pointed out that in toy breeds this will seriously impact the gene pool especially the one to 2 or at beset 3 pups in a "litter" I had two excellent girls that only ever had one pup per "litter" . Then they brought in the one litter per year? or if bred back to back have to leave empty for 3 seasons???????? these girls are a night mare to leave empty for a year let alone more as they gain so much weight between "litters". then wont go in pup. At the time I pointed out the big litter breeds could have 24 pups in 2 litters. while the toy has 2! I suggested a limit on number of puppies bred instead. gee that got howled down . oddly it was most loud by the big litter breed owners. the whole thing has been a disaster for the dogs. and the register. before the bitches had their puppies while still young and desexed and rehomed by those who rehomed their ex breeding bitches. I remember my vet commenting that whoever drew this up never liaised with dog reproductive vets. He said dogs never evolved to go long periods between litters, that missing so many heats will increase the incidence of pyometra. but all the peta propaganda of photos of starving bitches with lugs half way to the ground with puppies hanging off them was never countered with the thousands of ankc bitches looking a million dollars with their puppies. the ankc went along with the royals, never explain, never complain. well now its crunch time well and truly. finally they have twigged the peta agenda of extinction is nearing its success date. love the "Where have all the dogs gone" Campaign. is it too little too late? only time will tell. judging by the screams of lies, lies and more lies on darling Emma Hursts Fb page and the incredible venomous attacks on anyone sharing both the dogs nsw warnings and how to vote for the just completed election and Hugh Gents letter they sure are rattled. I suspect they assign two people to attack . do wonder how they knew I had shared them as neither attacker is a friend on fb or friend of any of my friends. the most savage was Ludovic Barbier his ignorance of even the basics of what he was carrying on was laughable but the nastiness was pretty overwhelming and certainly created immense fear . after a while i realised that was probably the intend to make me afraid and delete my post. His side kick was some one named Robin Robin so instead I kept asking questions. as he went on and on about what a liar i am, how ignorant of am of the lies lies and more lies Hugh gents letter contains . that I am obviously all about animal exploitation with no care for their rights. just so much coming from him. finally he did say the intention is the elimination of anyone who breeds a litter. I doubt Emma Hurst will be pleased with him. interestingly he hasn't said another word after I told him that Emma will not be pleased with him for letting that cat out of the bag. -
which is why I changed to the mini chips the second they were available, half the size
-
the ONLY information on a normal chip is the number. there is nothing else on it. its an inert until a scanner activates the number. The only time I have had a chip not read when I know its there , is when the battery of the scanner is too low to pick up the number, new battery in the scanner and up comes the number. years ago before I learned that, chipped a pup after checking the chip with the scanner. and when it was now in the pup no number? called the chip supplier who said it must be a faulty chip. put in another and I will replace the faulty chip. put in another and it too wouldnt scan. but finally the scanner beeped low battery. it was scanning the number in the packet but had been too low to scan the chip in the dog. with the skin between? new batteries and the poor pup now had two chips reading fine. there are special ones that cost more that when you scan them give the dogs tempretature but i have never seen them only read abut them I expect they would be pretty expensive and not even they give you the owners name and address. the whole purpose of the chip is to give its number. which then is put into the data bank and tells you the details of the dog entered .
-
education is way more effective than just legislation written and shelved. look at microchipping. its been law since 1998 yet still 80% of dogs impounded HAVE NO CHIP?????
