Wow, Barry, I had no idea. I was just thinking about Mike! Had he been sick at all? So sorry for your loss. Anne
Barry,
Just seeing this-- I've not been on this board for a while! There is a FB page for Copper Toxicosis that I can invite you to. It initially was set up so that us breeders could learn more...
I'm "jelly".... Nice ponds!
I KNEW I forgot something!!! Happy Belated Bird-day, Brooks!!! Hope you had fun. Anne
Keep up the good work and feel free to ask more questions here. Sometimes the little ones are the result of "bad real estate" too-- I had a litter 5 mos ago where one was 1/2 the size and now she's...
Hate to tell you but what you are describing w/ Brooks has to be genetic! Try living w/ 8 of them... CC (the 4 mo old baby) even quickly adjusted to daylight savings time. Pretty sure both Tango...
Sorry to read all this Barry but glad the 4 leggers are doing their part to help you cope. I actually have had a little of what I think is neuropathy recently too-- read online that Vit B may help,...
Sadly AKC will not reverse or refuse even if they SEE evidence of "silver" etc, which the LRC, Inc has been saying for years is a mix.
This is why we are all being told in order to get a CHIC #,...
AKC is all about the money. They are ticking off a LOT of parent clubs right now over color issues. Sadly AKC is forgetting who they really work for.
I'd have to question if you are comparing apples to apples here. I highly doubt anyone is selling pups from 3-4 generations (plus) titled, fully health cleared lines for $1000. That is what the...
Stud fees are more like $1500-1800 now from the conformation lines. Then add on the Fedex overnight, vet fees etc. I typically have $4000 out of pocket at the time of breeding not counting the...
Data are showing Goldens to be extra sensitive to nutritional DCM, however, that does not explain all the other breeds that are suddenly being dx'd as well. And... why are none of the big 3 (or 5)...
I'd second a good probiotic/ digestive enzyme. Also would caution the grain free / boutique type foods due to the increase in DCM (cardiac) issues the past few yrs.
My guess is predominantly terrier w/ the ears and weight.
8 is not old for a stud at all...
This is basically what I do when my litters start to get the "idea" of chewing on my hands, toes, clothes, etc at ~5 wks. It's quite effective and has no lingering side effects other than I tend to...
Pretty sure one of mine had a cheat grass issue last week. Epsom salt soaks did the trick. Good luck! Anne
I prefer my Labs to be true to standard all around, because the general public comes to expect that. Years ago, my neighbor took on his brother's Golden Retriever who was really a nutcase. I...
Good for you!!! I hope no one feels badly to tell the breeder why you are not interested in their litters in those cases too.
Breeding on pre-lims or less is against my club's code of ethics. ...
As for kibble and grains, I'm pretty happy w/ what I feed (Eukanuba) my dogs. It's especially important to know you are feeding a healthy TESTED diet especially now w/ all the cases of DCM (dilated...
A lot of know-it-alls, really....
And obviously the term "breeders" must be relative as well.
haha!! Better than what I found by my pigeon coop Sat am.... Still not the one that got Honey as this was too small based on the fang width. :fatigue:
Similar here to Wwwoodchuck and Annette. I have a zero tolerance for that. I start w/ a gruff "Off!!!" just like if they jump on me. If that doesn't work, an elbow or hand push (if up on the...
