Does anyone remember me? I have sold a puppy to a new home in Hawaii. I shipped him yesterday, at last. He was 10 months old, when all quarantine requirements have been completed. I would not want to do it again.

I was talking to this breeder years ago. Asking price for a puppy was unreasonably high then. I do not know how it is now. E-mail David Moore. He has quality Azawakhs, true to the original type from Sahel. It depends on your budget. Sloughi is very few and far between in our country, but...

I am in the process of preparation of the puppy to be shipped to Hawaii. I found one vet in our pet clinic, who claimed he had experience in this. The puppy got his tow rabies vaccinations and other required vaccinations; he was microchipped, of course. Next visit is due about December 15; a...

This is a red flag, telling you, you are dealing with not a reputable breeder. We are in a show breeding bubble. Better look among breeders of physically performing, functionally sound dogs.

I thank every one for opinions and suggestions. I have investigated it with vets in our local vet clinic and found one vet, who already did it. The whole procedure will cost $488. It seems to me a money grabbing policy, but the buyer agreed to pay it all. I made the first visit, microchip and...

FoxyWench, this sounds scary. I decided to go ahead with this, because our vet talks with confidence that we can make it. I will tell you, if everything will end successfully, or not.

Even breeders with the best reputation are humans and they cannot control everything in genetics of their breeding stock. It is always like a gamble. The breeder can only improve his chances and so is the buyer of puppy. Most of old popular purebreds are highly inbred and the chance of buying a...

It depends on you and the breeder, like in all human relationships. You do not have to become best friends, but trust in the process of acquiring a puppy, or an adult dog, is absolutely important.

Did anyone sell puppies to buyers in Hawaii? I am going to sell one of my Saluki puppies there. They have complex rules about importation of dogs and cats, but I decided to go ahead, because the buyer has exceptionally good environment for keeping a dog. I would like to learn from you how to do...

Molly, you are right. This is what I learned several times, dealing with prospective puppy buyers. In this case with Saluki puppies, it is the same story. A lot of warm wishes and even some inquiries before the puppies are on the ground. Then, most of those would be interested vanish, not always...

Yes, may be you are right. I expected only 5-6 puppies in the litter and I had enough interested on my list. Finally, it is not bad. I have only one male and one female left. If I would not sell them, I would keep them here. Seven puppies got in good homes. When buyers are lined up, something...

The red female, on the left, is our Bibigul. We will keep her mainly because of her peculiar behavior. She is the most affectionate and attentive; she also makes longest investigative dashes in wild places. The male with black muzzle is available. I am taking them in walking trips up to 1/2...

Do you remember some hot discussion of my Adel, which gave birth to ten puppies in a "disgusting" wood box without any bedding? The puppies grew happy and healthy. They saw a vet only one time and it was for obtaining shipping certificate. I will not breed them for a few next years. This is...

This male is available. The female is of the same color.

We will keep one female. Her name is Bibigul, which means nightingale in Kazakh language. They grow fast. I am taking them in long walking trips, in fields and in woods and they like it very much. Thank you for comments.

One male and one female are still available. Do you remember that picture which some found horrible, showing my Adel with her litter in her doghouse? They all grew up very healthy and beautiful, will be weaning in a week, or so.

Of course, I am promoting my taste and I know there are many who share my taste and prefer healthy, active and intelligent dogs. A few words about how long wild animals live. It depends of the size and way of life. Among small passerine birds, the highest mortality is among fledglings. Young...

Smkie, are you a "guardian" of your dog? I am not. A quality life is always somewhat risky. All our most interesting breeds had been created under harsh conditions of life and physical work. For you personal feeling, it is important so the dog would live long. Evolution is made not by...

My happy puppies: They show temperament already. Some females will be after their mother, very dominant. They play, but a t a certain point, some of them explode and start fighting. This is a very democratic forum and everyone can make his suggestions and judgements. In evolutionary sense...

Chorus about benefits of spaying and neutering is driven by politics and animal rightist ideology. It is not based on scientific data, as those proponents claim. http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/LongTermHealthEffectsOfSpayNeuterInDogs.pdf It is simply a question of convenience. Some people...
