Victor and mary go to the humane soceity clinic ..they receive their heartworm there 5 dollars each and you can by monthly if you need to..Mary's eye surgery where they removed a cyst (she is 12 btw) from her eyelid and one that was deep inside of the lower lid for 35 dollars. AND that was having her under sedation as well. The clinic is run by the best people..i have always been able to get in if we had an emergency like Victor's runnin a stob up the inside of his leg for about two inches..or being neutered which ran 40 i believe. Everything is not for profit and that is why i take my donation each year seriously, giving them my very very best. They saw Aaron's cat when he tore a huge chunk out of his leg. It had to be stapled and stitched..10 dollars. That including the anitbiotics. They can do this because of donations like ArtUnleashed..30 thousand dollars this year. This way i KNOW my dogs are getting the best of care and will never suffer from an error of judgement on my part. I would never forgive myself if i "treated" for something and was wrong. OLd boss always said you can learn something from everyone..even beginners and to always keep an open mind. I want to know the New procedures. The better medicines..but then again i like to learn.
It is a shame that you felt my post was rediculous. That is your opinion..and i am entitled to mine as well. I hope you are never wrong with your dogs or your own health. I have seen too many people at field trials and oh my the stories where someone thought they had the answer and it wasn't the right one.

Geeesh.....

To each his own ... I thought on one post you advised getting getting all the tests for hips,heart ,eyes etc ??
Yes I do......for those breeds that need those tests done to ensure health.

You do this too ???
Well now, just what hereditary conditions do Manchesters have that they should be tested for? And bear in mind, I have not bred for 7 years.

Also, I thought you said your puppy's had health checks 3 times from vets before they left you at 12 weeks ??
And just where on God's green earth did you hallucinate that???

Also, I thought you slept in a chair at night, because of your bad back.
And your point here is................what?????????????


Also, since my dog weighs 90 #s, only his head lays on me at night, or a paw draped over me.
Sooooo???? Get a smaller dog.


And sorry , I leave his heart issue up to his wonderful vets. They rate the changes, and will tell me when it's time for a implant....which is something I wouldn't be able to do....I'm not a heart surgeon .
And this dog is from YOUR breeding? Just when did you find out about the heart disease in the line??????

My goldens lived to be 12 and over...your manchesters should be living until 16 or over.
That is not a long life. But if they have cardiomyopathy that was never tested for, that would cause a shortend life.


Glad you help so many on this forum...I listen to you , but trust my vets for their once a year check ups. The rest I treat myself.
I ask or expect NO ONE's trust. I expect people to verify for themselves anything I might say. Of course most of what I say is my opinion, based upon what I have done over a period of 30 1/2 years.

As far as longevity in a breed, there is also the bloodline to be considered. A breeder should realize that. Grandma Piper died from the killer type of cancer at about 13.....the typeof cancer that starts on the jaw and then runs rampant thru the dog. Grandpa Jiggs died of cancer at about 12 years of age. Kelly, my b!tch died at age 12. Janet, Kellys mother died at 13 due to her heart suddenly stopping.

They live long enough to suit me.

It was your senarios that I said where ridiculous. I have taken care well in advance of anything and everything to cover any and all contingencies. And there are people who have "networks" to keep track of each other.

I am beginning to think that having a carefully bred purebred helps to ensure a healthier life for both owner and dog, lol. And my dogs live in an environment designed especically for their safety at all times. There is nothing sharp around for them to impale themselves upon nor wires for them to chomp. Etc, etc, etc. And I am with them 24/6. And I only sleep for 1 hour at a time. If anything exciting happens with the boys outside, and I happen to be dozing, the girls alert m immediately. They are such little tattletales, rofl.

I am sorry you have had so much difficulty in your life. I have been blessed, I guess.

I'm a bit late, but dude, that's nuts! That dog....wow...I don't know so much about putting her in Harry Potter though. That's a serious deviation from the book and that's a big no-no in my world.

Guess it's time for your 1 hour nap , Manchester ....sorry I don't agree with you and I would NEVER own another Toy Manchester or any other small dog as long as I can have my goldens ! I can admire them owned by others, but I personally like bigger dogs. And no, Chip is not of my litters... though related . This is something not hereditied . Nite nite !

Get a smaller dog? What a pathetic remark. THAT is ignorance at its best right there.

You said previously in this thread that you had double fencing then turned around and said you had triple fencing. WHICH ONE IS IT? try to keep your stories straight ;)

You are nothing but a bitter old woman who has nothing better to do than sit around and complain about every single thing you see. Is there no joy in your life? You sure don't show it on here. Such anger you have. Try being happy for a day.

BTW nobody cares how much money you spend on all your wonderful gadgets. Seems that you cannot have an argument without tossing money into the mix. Money does not make a responsible owner. Sorry about your luck.

I thought you posted a thread earlier saying that you were no longer going to give advice or your opinion because it wasn't appreciated. What happened to that? It lasted all of what... half a day? Seems to me that thread was posted all for the attention. Boohoo. drop the pity party act. You think people dislike you because of your self proclaimed genius status when in reality they dislike you because you are a snide bitter woman who gets pleasure out of talking down to others.

I'm sure your response is going to be along the lines of "Don't hate me because I am smarter than you. I know everything and you know nothing. blah blah blah" It's the same song and dance everytime you post. Get new material.

I think I speak for a good number of people on this board when I say GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE. I don't care what you think you know or who you "know". If you know all of this how come you are not a doctor or a vet? You have all this knowledge yet you sit at home all day and do nothing with it. WOW good for you. here's a medal. Do you need a chest to put it on as well?

I think you should go back to the promise you made before about not speaking. It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt ;) This reminds me of you. Everytime you open your mouth nothing comes out but a bunch of self righteous garbage. MAYBE that is why you are alone.

I'm sure MC has some valuable knowledge, somewhere, deep inside the mass of vanity and arrogance! It's funny, to know more about behaviourism than an animal behaviourist (despite not even knowing what a reinforcement schedule is) to know more about vetrinary science than a vet. "But, but, Im old! I'm older than you and I'm a breeder and I have experience" I think you should remember, time served on the earth doesn't mean you grow in mind.

Im not trying to get into this debate...i did just want to make one comment though...

MC....you pretty much dedicate your WHOLE time to your dogs. And that is just great (no sarcasm) that you can do that. I would be quite happy spending my days with oakley...but that is just not a reality for most people. I am assuming you are retired...so you have that freedom.

I could probably rightly guess that the vast majority of dog owners are NOT in your situation. It seems as if you think that not being able to spend all day with your dog, and not knowing everything there is to know about dogs makes someone an irresponsible owner. That is pretty rediculous in my opinion. I admire that you know so much...but an average dog owner cannot be expected to know that (although it would be great if that info could magically just be available in everyones brains, lol)

Many of us have lives other than our dogs. I have to go to school, others have to work, or take care of their children...

if only "truly qualified" people could own dogs...then barely anyone would own one, and there would be millions of dogs dying because they have no home...

i think a dog is much better off being loved by a family, even if that means the dog has to be alone while his/her owner is at work, or develops health problems due to a wrong diagnosis by a vet, etc....vs a dog that is on the streets...

anyways, i was getting sick and tired of seeing posts that implied in one way or another that people who dont know as much as you do, or people who cannot spend as much time with their dogs as you do, are inferior to you, and therefore, bad owners.

And i dont think encouraging people to self diagnosis (whether you meant to or not, in my opinion you are) is the best idea. You cant just read a book and understand something. While i do know many vets are 'just in it for the money', there are many who arent. I really like my vet. I took Oakley there the day after we got him, just so he could meet the vet. I didnt want something to happen, and the vet not have ever seen oakley before, and have NO idea what his normal behavior was, or anything like that. anyways, i am just saying...not everyone is capable of rightly identifying a major problem...thats why there ARE vets. If everyone could so easily learn everything there is to know, i think they would all be out of business.

Of course we are all entitled to our opinons....even if they are baseless, rofl. Yup, I am retired. And before I retired I devoted all my available time to the dogs. 24-8=16 hours a day devoted to the little darlings. The 8 hours I was gone, they were asleep in their crates, listening to classical music. So they really didn't miss the absense of my presence, lol.

As far as self diagnosis.......if you ever spend any amount of time around dogs, you will find out that there is just so much that can go wrong with a dog's health. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what a problem might be. And if I am not sure, I will call my vet and tell him what is going on, and what I plan on doing to make sure he concurs. HOWEVER, except for old age tumors, my dogs are the picture of health.

If one of them breaks a bone, or gets a cut, I will take then in for treatment......only because I cannot do stitches myself.

And even tho the vet's know I am a breeder, there little front office people do NOT, and will hand me their crapola about the dog needs a blood work up, yada yada yada. I just look at them and tell them, "No thanks". I am polite and don't tell them what I am REALLY thinking, rofl.

If you want to run to your vet all the time......go for it. BUT, the only place my dogs will ever encounter parvo, or distemper and parasites IS IN THE VET'S OFFICE!!!! So, thank you......I will stay the he|| away. Just why do you people think my dogs ARE so healthy, huhhhh? Maybe because I don't EXPOSE them to anything!!!??

I wish. I was working on this computer till about 4:30AM. Had installed PC-Cillin back on Friday, and yesterday was going thru the baloney of the stupid computer shutting itself off about every 25 minutes. I finally threw in the towel, and did a restore back to before installing the PC-Cillin. Fortunately I only paid $7.98 for the PC-Cillin!

So you wouldn't own any other small dog..........well that is your perogative, for sure. I had Dobermans for 23 years, and from time to time a Greyhound, and I prefer the Toy Manchesters for personality and sweetness, as well as their size. I like have the little beasts piled on top of me---really comes in handy in winter, rofl. Like having living hot water bottles you can put where ever you need them.

As for heart problems........that is one problem that Manchesters don't seem to have. One of the reasons I became depressed with the Dobes was that every year they were finding new horrid health problems. Cardiomyopathy was bad enough, then came vWD. There already was the CVI and CHD. And the susceptibility to demodex. So, after my 13 year old male had to be put to sleep, I stuck with the Manchesters and Whippets.

To each of us his/her own, as they say.

manchester..it is a shame you found my scenerios ludicrous..for i was, gently as possible considering the situation ,trying to make a point ...that no one is perfect..that unless your youngest dog is in the same health shape that you are in..one day you will leave them in the dire straits. Being uprooted is as sad as it can be for a dog..to leave not only the pack (that is unless you have arrangements where someone is willing to take them all in and provide for them as you have) most people do not have that. I do not know if you do..for i do not pretend to know about other people's lives. I choked me when i read the phrases you use to present your arguements..hullicinate..dream that up..im not going to scan back and make the list, for i am sure that would be a huge waste of my time..those that did bother to read them know what they are. I would try again to reach you..but i feel your mind is closed and you would only stir in more of your "style" then i care to read. Godspeed old woman. The world is not as easy as you think it is.
My SO once said "I'll never go to a nursing home...." i said gee if i only had a nickle for every time i heard that... he said" just prop me up under a tree.." i said Jim it just doens't work that way..he died in a nursing home..he didn't make arrangements for his dogs..he didn't make arrangements for his family..HE too thought he knew it all and many suffered because of this. If it is at all possible..try to open your mind just a little.
There are way more important things then thinking you are right..especially if there is the remote chance you are not.

I should not really have been posting last night/early morning. My computer was flashing the blue screen of death, and I was somewhat disconerted.

Yeah, the health of Goose and Birdie Girl is about the same as mine is. Except that with CHF, you can just drop dead at any moment. I have planned for my dogs.......and they will quickly adjust to any changes, because the people taking them also have Manchesters. One good thing is that the whole Manchester community steps in to help place dogs. When Lou STickland dropped dead, they rehomed ever one of her 92 dogs! That broad was something else. BYB/shower of Manchesters.

I realize that as we go thru life we tend to judge the world based on things we ourselves have experienced. But you must bear in mind that not everyone over the age of 40 is a blithering, batwitted imbecile!

I realize that with the tragidies you have experienced in your life you would feel that life is not as easy as I think it is. BUT, MY life is as easy as I think it is, because it is _I_ who am living it. Now my life might be a pain for YOU to live, but for me, I have always been a very farsighted, foresighted person. That is why my dogs have never had any disasters in their lives.......because I look at my environment from a canine point of view--i.e. what in the environment can cause harm, what can be circumvented to allow the dog to place itself in harms way, etc. This place is often referred to as Fort Knox......for a good reason. It is fenced, re-fenced and cross-fenced!!!!!! And of course I have the advantage that the boys who do spend their nights outside on their patio, in their "outside" bed, are now all senior citizens, and not prone to looking for disasters to get into.

When I take them out on lot 2, the only danger is from Moose running into Chuck deliberately when Chuck is chasing the soccer ball. And my yelling makes Moose veer off. They have both made it to 13, with no trauma, thank goodness.

I try to talk to Old Dog every day or so to let her know I am alive. Also my sister. If my sister doesn't hear from me for a day, and cannot reach me, she would be on the phone immediately to Old Dog, or Orval, my next door neighbor. And of course, if I am DEAD, I am not going to be worried, lol. The dogs will be taken care of, and will have a monthly income for about the next 15 years for whoever takes them.

I very much admire you and your position on dog ownership and care. And I have checked out your drawings. You are blessed with great talent. Sadly fate has not been kind to you. I almost feel a bit guilty when I think how easy I have had it.

So, I do appreciate your concern. But you need to not debate so strongly with people about what they are doing in THEIR lives, lol. We cannot envision each other's circumstances, nor closely examine the steps we have taken to insure our welfare and that of our dogs.

About the only way to deal with a debate of this nature is simply put forth what we EACH are doing, have done, and will do in the future.

Well, I am off to try to download PCc-Cillin one more time and see how it works. I dread the thought, lol.

hello kettle this is pot. I was just calling to say "you're black".

Sorry that is my new favourite phrase. :D

just to get a little off topic here. I may be able to assist you with the problems you are having with your PC. PC cillin is cheap for a reason. I used it way back in the day and it was useless as a one legged grape stomper.

You kinda forgot me there too. I would be crazy if I did not hear from you regularily. I look for your posts and your emails. I also very muchly look forward to your phone calls. I would go nutty with out you and therefore I look to be sure you are here.

You kinda forgot me there too. I would be crazy if I did not hear from you regularily. I look for your posts and your emails. I also very muchly look forward to your phone calls. I would go nutty with out you and therefore I look to be sure you are here.
I didn't forget you......it is just that with you being 4000 miles away, I don't include you in my "available to help the dogs" group, rofl. I appreciate your caring, of course!

I am still working on downloading the PC-Cillin again. I already re-did the fix to the registry AGAIN. After doing the System Restore, I had to go back and Re-delete that key. Now I am waiting on an email from Trend Micro to tell me where to go and re-download PC-Cillin without having to buy it all over again, lol.

OFF TOPIC

what happened to your pc? did you get a virus or did it just decide to be a pain in the a$$ like most computers. What are the error messages you are getting?

I know to much distance away, I wish I was closer. Not sure I would be much help though with your dogs even if I was right next door. I have a monster right now but love to add your little angels to the group, but what a distance to travel with them!!! :D

hello kettle this is pot. I was just calling to say "you're black".

Sorry that is my new favourite phrase. :D

just to get a little off topic here. I may be able to assist you with the problems you are having with your PC. PC cillin is cheap for a reason. I used it way back in the day and it was useless as a one legged grape stomper.
As far as pots and kettles, I have only ever posted my opinions and what I do or do not do. The debates start when those with no clue as to my circumstances start blasting me because I do not think or act as they do. As Old Dog said, there is a huge difference between dog people (educated, ethical, responsible breeders/dog show people) mentality and pet mentality. It is all based on depth of experience and broadness of experience. When I talk about dogs, what I say relates to the thousands of dogs I have know, heard of or talked to the owners of. Heck, at present I have more dogs than many people will have spread out over their entire lifetimes!!

But the fault lies with me. I am taking a vow to never again bother to explain my viewpoint. What works for me works for me. I do not suggest that anyone do as I do......but simply that they educate themselves more fully on issues that come up in these posts. Blind faith in a vet can very easily end up leading to a dog's demise. It is MY OPINION that every pet owner should buy a copy of the Merck's Vet Manual, and READ it! For one thing, they will be amazed at how a dog's body and ours works in exactly the same way as far as the various bodily systems go. We should all be educated pet owners. It is a job, a calling, and a responsiblity. Just as we should be educated patients if we need regular medical attention. It is our JOB to take part in our treatment, to be knowledgeable enough to know what questions to ask, and to be able to provide input into our treatment.

As far as the goofy Pc-Cillin, I am still waiting on the email from tech support. I got it at a great price, my sister has been using it for over a year (of course she is still running XP SP1) and PC World spoke well of it. IF I get the thing installed I will snoop around and find out what I can about its performance. It is also being used by several in the Webtv computer newsgroups, and they spoke well of it. Some of them are downright gurus.

I appreciate the offer, and I hope I won't have to bother you, but if I must, I will PM you!!

Well I hope that you can resolve it quickly and easily with little frustration. If you do need help I can get it for you :D My husband is a computer geek too so if I can't answer it I know I can get the answer from him. Computers are finicky little buggers. Say nice encouraging things to it lol I always try that. never works though :rolleyes: When they come out with THAT kind of technology i will be first in line lol

If you run in to trouble feel free to pm me.

I have a ragingly off topic question for Manchesters. I happened to meet a Manchester terrier at the pet expo this weekend, with a CDX title. The handler has joined our obedience club and is doing very well, only, her dog doesn't have prick ears. Are they cropped in America and not in Australia?
