Puppy Pedigree - Expertise Needed!

  • @stazy:

    She is definitely not a puppy mill nor do I think she's intentionally been irresponsible. I simply think she's unfamiliar with the standards that are expected from the BCOA. A lack of due dilligence is certainly not the best excuse for a breeder to have but it's better to learn late than never.

    Twenty years ago, before the internet, people had an excuse. I really don't think there is any excuse today for not doing basic research and knowing better. There really isn't. But hopefully you can nudge her to step up and do better.

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.

    Im not sure what DEFRA is but I read somewhere that the quarantine and all that had been lifted in great Britain… Not sure.. Anyway, I'm not sure if they do.. But dogs are imported into Brittain all the time, especially show dogs, I don't think it would be tool difficult. cheers happy New Year!

    @giza1: Heck, I never fed my puppies mush either, just softened kibble. And it didn't seem to take very long before the pups would be sitting in the mom's dog dish chewing on her dry kibble. -Joanne When you think about it… softened kibble is mush.... just all depends on how you offer it. And I only do "mush" between 3 to 4 wks after that it is just softened kibble... and in the end.. that is mush

    Exactly, and if you can't get the food, then get some good probiotic like fastrack and give it with meals… will probably be fine. :)

    L'Ox is on the small side. He is only about 16.5 inches at the withers. He may gain a little more height and will probably continue to fill out for next couple of years but he will always be a small male.
