Next time, start a new topic or PM me, because this is totally off topic. PROOF that you cannot get on with things.......and i have not dodged anything!
HJealth testing. When Dixie is finished nursing, and the puppies are gone, I will contact the vet to start with any tests that she needs. I am waiting due to the fact she is still far too busy with the puppies. He will tell me and recommend what tests she needs done, and I will go from there. We are also planning on resuming her training. As she is almost fully trained in agility and weight pulling will start soon, as I have ordered a harness and awaiting its arrival. Hubby is building a cart.X rays will certainly be done before this starts.
The puppies will leave my home NO LESS then 8 weeks old, and that is ONLY if I think they are ready. Some may take alittle longer, depending on development, weaning, etc. We are waiting to see. No rushI will be lonely without them. One is sold,and going to OHIO as soon as I think he is ready.
I have a sales contract, very thorough created by my lawyer with many clauses taken both from people who have donated theirs to adapt and his own findings. In it also dictates that the puppy will be spayed/nuetered before leaving me if the new owners cannot provide tangible proof of the intent to work or show this dog. In other words,if you cannot prove you will work or show this dog, and the dogs natural "drive" is not needed for such things, you will be acquiring an altered dog.
That answers your last question as well. UNLESS there is a noticable fault with the puppy, I will have that one altered anyway.
As for the one with the overbite???Since he is mine, he will train for agility(If his conformation allows) not sure, he may be too stout and stocky-and weight pull, if he "turns out" that he cannot prove worthy and accomplish such things, he will be nuetered.
Dixie will not be spayed-as any profit that I do make from the sales of these puppies are directed right back into finishing training for Dixie, having her compete and the new training of the pup I am keeping.
You are welcome, now get back on topic......
