DOGBLOG APRIL 2010 - DOGS QUEENSLAND GENERAL MANAGER COMMENTS IN REGARD TO ILL INFORMED GOSSIP AND ACCUSATIONS WITHIN THE DOG BREEDING INDUSTRY - very worth reading |
As some of our youngsters are now maturing and doing well in their new lives, we've added a "Brag Sheet" under the 'Our Dogs' tag. Feel free to browse and see how the kids are going.
 | CANE TOAD WARNING !!! On the evening of the 21st January, our beautiful little Connor took it upon himself to mouth a Cane Toad and despite our efforts to save him we didn't even have time to get him to the vet before he died. Folks it took 15 minutes for the poison to kill our adored and beautiful boy, so please be careful of your dogs and cane toads. It is commonly thought that Queensland bred dogs seem to have an inate knowledge of the dangers of these toads, and we have certainly found this to be seemingly so, and have only experienced interest in the vermin from dogs born down south, but don't take any chances. We had missed a very big one in our nightly patrols to keep the cane toad population down. Try to keep your yards as cane toad free as possible, and express to your dog that cane toads are off limits. I certainly wouldn't want any of you to go through the distress of trying to save an adored little dog the way we have just experienced. Needless to say our nightly patrols have become much more stringent searches. |
On a happier note, we can't resist sharing the love of our life, Shadow with you. His mum and dad have been so generous in sharing these photos of such a gorgeous boy with us. Shadow is the daughter of our Jessica and Jack, and along with his Sister, Cassie and brother Jester, it was and remains a fabulous litter, unfortunately as Jessica is now reaching retirement age, it won't be possible to repeat the mating. We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we do.
The girls have done it again !!!!
Rose and Nelson's bubs have arrived and there's some stunners amongst them.

Our sincere thanks to all the fellow breeders and families who have been so supportive during recent adversities. |
To help others avoid a similar experience .. We purchased a female pup (Cliveden Hope Forlorn) from a Victorian breeder in good faith for $2,000 as a top quality, show and breeding puppy only to find on it's arrival that it not only had a very large hernia, but it was later discovered to have a heart defect. The breeder has caused much distress in an attempt to settle this matter including denying the puppy was the puppy she provided and it ended up costing us nearly $4,000 by way of identifying the unmicrochipped puppy, caring for it, ensuring it's needs were kept uptodate, and legal fees as a result of being forced to deal through her solicitor - and we were not refunded a penny in the end. NOT ALL BREEDERS ARE REPUTABLE IN THIS BUSINESS, seek advice from the Canine Council in your state or other breeders before purchasing puppies interstate. Don't only take the word of the breeder you are buying from - ask around. |
