    Today is Day 47 of Banshee's pregnancy. Poor little girl. She really has to carry a lot. Slowly but surely she minimizes the quantities of food. I think the puppies are growing and therefore there is not enough room left for a full stomach. But by now, she get's food whenever she wants some. Even if it is only a spoon full of minced meat with joghurt (peach).

    OK, this kind of makes me worry about mating my little girl, she's only one and being pregnant is a long way off for her. I've never had a pregnant girl. Do they suffer during the pregnancy (I mean other than giving birth)? Do they get around ok and and are they able to take care of themselves pretty well?

    They get along just fine… my have always run up and down the stairs, outside to try and catch squirrels... all the way up till the day they Whelp... We were even at a lure trial 3 days before Maggii whelped.. and believe me, if we would have let her, she would have "chased" for that bunny...:p One thing I will say, I do not feed them any different (amount or kind) during the first 4 weeks... starting in the 5th week, I change to puppy food, but do change the amount. (of course this was before the days of EVO and its kind, so now I would most likely just leave them on the food they have been on all the way till the last two weeks. This is when the babies grow the most... I will increase the food a little each time till the last week they might be on double what they usually would get and start adding things like 4% cottage cheese, some liver... and start splitting it up into more smaller meals. When they whelp, the first two weeks they have food all the time all they want and especially water, they drink lots....

    Now we are getting to the finals.
    Today is day 55 of Banshee's pregnancy. She is doing fine and "has to enjoy" the parties the puppies are having inside her. Sometimes there is a lot of dancing and kicking inside…

    Yup… I agree.... 4 is a perfect number!!! (having one that was 6 pups, by the time they are 6 to 8wks you think you have 106.....)

    @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

    @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)
