dog geek Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi Parrotpea Know what you mean about impatient!! I find myself having to take deeeep breaths, or distract myself, because I could get really way too excited... I chose the two dogs in about March (or rather, the breeder guided me to these two - the boy was only born March 4th, but his bloodlines are just what I was wanting!) and so since May they have been on AQIS' strict protocol for immunizations etc. I had to keep the timing (of their titre tests + other immunizations + application assessment + quarantine bookings) in mind - or rather the fabulous breeder did; she has been organising everything for me, rather than using an agent. But the permits should be assessed by the middle of this week, I think... The doggies hopefully should arrive in quarantine just before Xmas, then be released mid-to-late January.... wow, I had no idea I could pace myself like this!

Aannie Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 How exciting I have 2 CKCS and am in WA too! I have D'Artagnan who is 2 on Dec 8th and Porthos who is 1 on Dec 28th. They are both blenheims. I got them both from a Registered Breeder in Southern River who breeds Blenheims and Tri-Colours.Mine are both limited register and cost us $1000 each - that is about the average price for a CKCS You must come on over into the CKCS forum .... there are a few of us now in WA. Susan Thanks Susan, I think "my" breeder is your breeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotpea Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Know what you mean about impatient!! I find myself having to take deeeep breaths, or distract myself, because I could get really way too excited... :D I can relate to that! The number of puppy toys I have bought already I chose the two dogs in about March The doggies hopefully should arrive in quarantine just before Xmas, then be released mid-to-late January.... wow, I had no idea I could pace myself like this! I hope the assessments come through nice and quickly for you - you have been very patient! Since March!!! Hopefully you'll get your two shortly after I get my little girl. My wait is fraught with anxiety though as there is no absolute guarantee I will even get a pup - I won't know for another 3.5 weeks(when pups are 6 weeks) which, if any, will be mine.

dog geek Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 LOL! Well, not so many toys - YET! More in the line of show trolleys, dog enclosures, crates, local council entire animals licence, breeders reg/prefix, breed club regs, gazebo, silver shade this-and-that, new lever-arch folders for paperwork... and various other paraphenalia. BTW, the import permits were applied for last week (but the doggies were bought in March), and were approved today so it is all go! So NOW I can start looking at dog beds for quarantine, and toys to keep them from getting too bored... *squeeee* so excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotpea Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 That's fantastic! Now you're allowed to get really excited :D Ooh - are you starting out showing? What trolley and gazebo did you get? What is a silver shade? I'm going to be starting out in the show ring with my girl. I have been checking out trolleys- thinking the OKS looks good - lots of recommendations for it on here.

dog geek Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I know! So I am letting the tempo of excitement build up lol! I am buying a secondhand OZtrail Compact gazebo - found it on the DOL for sale page - and I found this fantastic (FANTASTIC) online shop where I am getting the show trolley from : http://www.horsesathome.com.au/shop/ They are in the middle of moving their site to a new ... something or other... so just scroll down the page past all the coding until you get to the Actual Page. I am buying a dog enclosure from them, too - I will be able to lock my little dogs away from the big dogs (while the big dogs act as a burglar deterrent and know they are safe. The Silver Shade is a type of shadecloth that is heat/cold reflective. Catonam Supplies sell gazebo covers, and I am getting a trolley cover too. :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aannie Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 5 weeks tomorrow!!! Our little one is 5 weeks old tomorrow so in 5 weeks time, he can come home with us! We're pretty much on track, too. I have a crate, play pen, bed, towels, blankets, toys, bowls and lawn all ready. DH just has to raise the cat's sand box and I think we're all set. Does it sound to you like I've missed something? Food, I'm not worried about because the breeder supplies it initially. Collar and lead I'm waiting 'til next week to get because my local City Farmers is having 10% off storewide and as I spent $270+ in there the other day, I figured I'll write a list and grab what I can while the sale is on. Shampoo/Conditioner, what would you recommend for an inside pup to begin with? Medications, I'll have to talk to my breeder first, I suppose? Anything else?
