I would suggest that you change the heading to...Taking your dog to a market.

The way it reads it can lend to people thinking that it MAY refer to the sale of dogs at markets. :)

There is always some people that think they have the right to play the game of Dog Police. It seems by what you have said the breeders are doing the right thing by the puppies. Many things may go astray in the breeding world NO matter what steps you may take to prevent things like this happening. It appears as though there may always be a small white fluffy that is to sneaky for words and then puppies result. The only other thing the breeders could do, would be to see the pups were rendered useless for breeding purposes. Always remember this where many of the puppy farmers get their replacement stock from.

Try a Repo specialist.

Very quick and safe.

Easier and quicker than removing the testes so I am told.

Can Chi's be bred for colour? Yes, any dog breed can be bred for particular colours where colour variation exists. Some colours are dominant, some recessive. Breeding for recessive or unusual colours is the fast track to genetic mediocrity.

Should Chi's be bred for colour? No. Colour breeding tends to be the stamp of the lesser quality breeder. Structure, temperament and breed type will trump colour for the better breeders.

We all have colour preferences but those preferences shouldn't be paramount when we breed. Colour is just the gift wrapping on a dog. What's underneath is what matters. I'd take a good dog of any colour over an ordinary one of a rare or fashionable one.

Why is Rebanne harsh ???? I just went and had a look at the puppies for sale on the pages here and it lists 25. Didn't look any further than that. But why would you look for a BB pup in North Queensland. My first thoughts would be that it would be far to hot to show and breed BB up that far. How would you know if you were getting a top quality one if it's sire and dam have not been assessed in the show ring to prove the quality is there. Any breeder can mate two dogs and sell the pups off. It doesn't mean your getting class stock does it ?. (The breeders in and around Brisbane say they have enough problems with breed in the heat in summer.)

Did you not read Kajtek's first post. She contacted the Qld breeder for an older dog, not a puppy. If you think it's too hot in Qld to be breeding BB's then perhaps you should contact that same breeder and let her know your thoughts on the matter. I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

NOT my thoughts the breeders of BB's thoughts. I am only passing on what seems to make sense to me.

Why doesn't the OP contact the breeders listed here they may have older stock that may suit. Many people contact me for older stock not always a baby puppy.

I would check your states rules and regulations. You may find it may differ in each state.

In Qld. you sign a form to say what dogs you have at the show that are not entered.

On the nipple thing, one of the best stories from a vet (female) was an male owner who brought his male dog in with a mysterious lump. The vet told him it was a nipple, only to be informed that only females have nipples, so she was wrong. She then invited the owner to take of his shirt, look at his chest and tell her what he saw.

The owner left quietly.

And we have a winner :laugh:

+++++1 hahahaha

Secateurs! Also known as garden shears I suppose, the little hand held ones. Find they cut them up very easily.

This is what I use and I also use them on the chicken frames.

Do Tubal Ligation for bitches and a Vasectomy for dogs and we have a win, win situation.

Keep them sterile and of no use to the puppy farmers and the back yard breeders.

...and let's not forget the often common occurrence of adult dogs and bitches becoming sterile after crossing the equator. It happens!

Oh so true. +1.

Are you using your normal piece of grass on the new loo ?.

I have just purchased one, as so many people are buying them and my future pups will be already pet loo trained.

I'm starting to think more and more about the possibilities of importing to expand my lines. I don't have any money to do it in the near future, but I want/ need to know the rough estimates of costs and what you think is better - ie: do you import just the semen, import the dog or import a bitch in dam?

One of my main concerns is that our lines in Australia always seem to end up in the same spot and I think we need to start expanding. I want to go overseas to see the dogs to help me make the choices rather than just going on what breeders say / show over the internet.

For those of you that have done it before - what led you to your decision? How did you go about it and are you happy with your choices.

Most likely - importing will be occurring from the US.

I have imported both semen and dogs from the USA, my choice was dependant upon the limitations to how many dogs I could own, having said that, I have males who are living abroad and I can access the semen from them when I want to and had them collected at an early age and some stored here. It really depends upon individual circumstances and the people who may want to user your dog and your willingness to let others use your dog

the only thing I would advise wt=ith the USA, get it all in writing what you will be paying for, I was charged for per Km vet trips, faxes, lunch stops etc and all sorts of payments which actually would have made importing a dog not that much dearer.

Please remember that until the Australian Shepherd came on the scene an Aussie was an Australian Terrier.

Scented wet wipes help a great deal I find.

No not signing it.

I see that a few more purebred KC registered pups /dogs are being advertised on there

Which is a good thing :)

I might just duck in and put my new litter up there later today to demonstrate the difference to those who are looking for a Maremma baby.

: :thumbsup:thumbsup:

The only body in Australia that is recognised through out the world is the ANKC.

This is the only body that is accepted thought the world for the registration and showing of pure bred dogs and the transfer of those dog to different countries and owners.

And NO I won't sign your petition.!!!!!

I consider that I am an ethical registered breeder with the ANKC and I have the right to advertise anywhere I want to.

I breed and show quality dogs and carefully screen buyers to the best of my ability and de sex all pups not on the main register and health test where it is available.

I believe there is not a lot more that I and others of the same ilk can do to provide the purchasing public with quality pet puppies, so don't try and take away our right to advertise where we want to.

What ever it is, it's ugly. lol

Just wanted to let you all know that C Crates have just recently changed hands to very reliable people.

:)

probably a very simple question but at what age can you start crate training?

I have the litter here and they are 6wks old. I am keeping one of the pups and wish to crate train her.

When can I start and for how long etc..

thanks

There is a crate in the puppy pen for them to explore as soon as they can find their way out of the whelping box - by three weeks

I remove them from the Italian Greyhounds. Not a pretty sight to see them ripped from the leg during running and stopping.

I'm probably going to get flamed but...

I took Ernie to the local cafe and while Miss 12 and I were enjoying our cake and coffee, I bought him a sausage roll. (Yeah I know but it's not a regular thing). He finished it in two bites and was lying quietly at my feet practicing his big boy behaviour when this woman with a fluffy sat down at the next table and proceeded to let her dog get in Ernie's face and climb all over him. He actually got up and moved as far away as his leash would allow.

I too, asked the woman why she was letting her dog pester mine. Her answer 'he's a lab and I know he won't hurt her'. I asked her to keep her dog by her side. Her answer 'it's a public place'. (Yeah but Ernie was there first and the cafe had at least 6 empty tables).

So when fluffy came over again and actually started to try and HANG OFF ERNIE'S JOWLS, I scooped it up and dumped it in her lap with the comment - 'look after your dog or i will'. Lady moved tables to get away from crazy lady with vicious labrador.

: :thumbsup:thumbsup:

Again I repeat....we don't have problem dogs, we have problem owners.

Such a shame so many spoil it for the few that do the right thing.
