    Is there a website or some place I can look to learn how to use a dremmel??

    Did you get a dremmel used - without instructions? The company should have a website that you can either request instructions or download them. It's a safety issue. Good luck.

    JYS1011 – I've never used one (on dogs) either. I just use clippers and a file and always wish I could get them shorter or at least get any "hook" out of the shape. Our 12 year old has always had long nails and I'm always nervous to cut them too short (they seem to bleed forever if you nip them too close!) but do my best. I have dremmel though I'd love some tips.

    After lots of searching I found this great site. Let me know what you all think.

    I haven't purchased one yet but I wanted to see if I would actually be able to do it myself.

    It sounds a little scary to me, but trimming nails has always! My husband does it for Nala, I call it "manicure day". He keeps that styptic stuff on hand and has rarely used it. She starts to fuss, but then just lets loose a big sigh and lets him do it! He finishes up by using a manicurist's nail file for hard nails to get rid of the sharp/rough edges. I should film it…it's quite sweet. The vet even commented that she has the nicest trimmed nails she's ever seen!

    Thanks for that website link. My Basenji boy really dislikes anyone but me attempting to care for him and periodically he needs to have his nails attended to. A trip to the vet is too stressful for him for something like nail care. I will try this if needed. Luckily, we walk on pavement so much his nails do not get too long and he is fastidious (aren't they all?) about his grooming..

    Our younger dogs let us use the dremel on them, but we started training them young. The older dogs…......no way you get that humming dremel next to them and we have to use the nail trimers and even that can be a struggle.

    @tanza I don't believe there was a limit to the number of letters, though I wasn't paying much attention to whether the field stopped me from continuing. Tanza is nice! I was actually surprised no one has claimed the name :D

    @tanza said in solving the "bad breeder" problem:: you know nothing about breeding ... In all fairness, @tanza, you don't have any idea where my breadth of knowledge lies. I have previously stated that I have no desire to become a breeder, but that isn't the point. Is it? You are venting because I am firmly standing my ground. We've been through this discussion before and I'd wager that we will do it again. Over the same thing, ad nauseam. either allow this or ... I understand that you are frustrated. @eeeefarm said in solving the "bad breeder" problem:: It is also fair to state any provable fact, but that should be left up to the individual, e.g. "my puppy has "such & such" condition, and my puppy came from "so & so" breeder with this existing condition. I agree with this, provided there is a way to prove that the illness could have been prevented by the breeder. That doesn't mean that every illness is breeder related. For example: Parvo and Giardia are widespread issues commonly contracted from one infected animal coming into contact with another, before or after the pup leaves the breeder. A pup with Giardia isn't necessarily a result of poor care by the breeder because it would be almost impossible to determine where the pup was infected. I think we should avoid referring to a breeder using subjective terms like: bad, irresponsible, etc. You cannot prove an opinion. If someone sees a statement (like that) about them and decides to contact an attorney, you and I aren't the ones who would be going to court. @JENGOSMonkey Thank you for your two cents (I liked the image, too). You are right. Most of what I do as a "moderator" is banning people who create profiles for commercial websites to improve their Google rank. I feel like if I kick them off right away, they won't bother us with inappropriate posts. I have banned over 2,000 profiles (so far), looks like I have 3 or 4 more to tend to today.

    @tanza I'm definitely attending the next show as a recon trip. Not sure how the work here but if they're similarly easy to enter as the ones in the US, I do want to show Roux! LOL that's a hilarious saying; I absolutely appreciate a smart lady over cluelessness haha :face_with_tongue:

    @lindenbaum I've long forgotten about this thread. If I am remembering correctly, I left it up so that people could read the flags that it may be a puppy mill and be able to make their own decision regarding that. I am deliberately wording that as "... may be... " because I do not have any personal interaction with "HH" and therefore cannot speak to it. (please note that I removed your "HH available breeds" list, no offense)
