The kennel club is the best place to start - breeders may not have pups straight away but can advise you as to when they next plan on having a litter http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/services/public/findapuppy/Default.aspx

I hope things did get better? And you didn't have to take him to the vets?

That is personally what I had to do - they soon realise that they have to fit into your routine. I hope things are getting easier

Glad everything is better - something I have never heard of before using sudocrem or Manuka honey! Great advice!

That is an unusal one - has he got some food or something stuck in his teeth?

Have you visited any of the rescue centres? They will most likely be able to find you the perfect partner in crime for the office as you don't want a dog that barks all the time as you need to work. You may also want to check with your work friends they are actually happy with that breed as it...

I have read a lot about people having issues with puppies from the same litter as they don't bond with their human families - personally I wouldn't as I wouldn't want to risk it!! What did you decide to do?

Just keep a close eye on him - if he is still eating and drinking. Any concerns just give your vet a ring!

Well it is lovely to hear that you have rescued them and its not nice to think where they have come from! It sounds like your stuck between a rock and a hard place as you don't want them to be noisy but you need to know if they they need the toilet! I understand what you are saying about getting...

Introduce her slowly into the new environment, and make sure to have all ground rules set as soon as she steps into the house! mental simulation is needed for every dog so introude new toys to her. Have you thought about crate training her so you know she is safe while you are out?

This is quite hard to read about a dog suffering so much and no-one noticing - especially as they are a family member! It is difficult to know a good kennels but I personally have gone on recommendation from others locally! I hope you have more luck in the future if you leave him!

If you not sure and are worried best thing to do is go to the vet and get her checked out - just for peace of mind!

From previous experience it is all about creating a safe place for them - I and my aunt both have crates that we use for our dogs for traveling and if we are at home or staying somewhere else (caravan or hotel) Both our dogs were crate trained but it is a bit of a pain to keep moving a heavy...
