    well impulse buyer that I am , I just bought the peticure that you suggested Pat. I like the features it has over a regular dremel, as Nike and Mia don't really like to get their nails trimmed, I think this will work much better.

    If I were to get the peticure model should I get the petite or the regular size? I also found a dremmel model on amazon:

    Anyone used this one before?

    Since your pup will be over 15lbs when mature, you would be better off with the regular size. And the Dremel that you noted is typically what most of us use (especially us that show). And that is OK too..
    The nice thing about the Peticure (and I am only speaking from seeing the pictures, I don't have one) is that the guard… keeps you from winding up getting your own nails too...

    And it does take some practice to use any grinder... along with time to get your pup used to it... but IMO, way better then nail clippers...

    Hm…dremel or peticure...I'll figure something out hopefully. I'll keep you guys updated on how the one I purchase turns out. :)

    I use the rechargeable dremel, It's great, Reggie used to be HORRIBLE about geting his nails done, now with the dremel he holds his foot up waiting, and if I do Tiggy's nails first he gets impatient and huffs at me, I do them every Sunday

    This is the one I use link the low setting is great for all nails, the high setting I only use when I first start on Reggie's nails, Tigs are to small for a higher speed, but Reggie has big thick nails

    That's actually the one I ended up buying today, from Amazon & everything. I hope it comes next week since I am excited to try it out. That sounds weird doesn't it? :p

    LOL, na doesn't sound weird LOL, besides great minds think alike

    I also have the one you posted earlier, but it DRAINS the batteries fast, I get 2 use (per dog) for every set of batteries (it uses 4 AA)

    While the dremel is great… for newbes... please be careful using these... the one thing I liked about this new one (peticure) it is nail guard...

    Don't worry Pat, I will be extra cautious. The last thing I want to do is hurt my baby! That's why I didn't want to user clippers! I'll take it slow until both he & I get used to it :) Plus it was only $30 so if it proves to be too difficult I can always just buy the Peticure :) Michelle bought the peticure so we'll have to compare the two!

    @senjisilly just now saw your reply. Thanks for the pedigree website. I knew about it and it’s a great resource.

    @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:

    @zande - So true Zande, the test is 65.00 and considering the heartbreak and cost of caring for a Fanconi Basenji (try shoving down 20+ pills a day) it is something that anyone breeding, even Back Yard Breeders or Puppymills should always do... Also if someone happens to get a puppy or is unsure about the breeder they did get a Basenji puppy from, spend the 65.00 and have the DNA Fanconi test done... again it is a cheek swab that you order from OFA.org
