Thread: Show us your ...........DOG

So that's what happened to Remi. I saw him being advertised and was interested in obtaining him but eventually decided not to proceed. Good on you 1950 for bringing him home with you. It's great to hear that he has gone to a good home where he will be loved.

Q - WHAT HAVE WE DONE. - UQ


You've let your self into one of the most fun filled and rewarding experiences of your life.


Good luck with Remi. A terrific adventure awaits you all.

Golden Retriever 'Sienna' (on the left) is 10 yo. Her daughter 'Florence' is 5 yo. We bred both of them. In fact they are the most recent generations of over 50 years of breeding Goldens in our family. We only breed if we need to bring the next generation along.

They make friends wherever they go and I remarked to a veterinarian friend: "If the world was full of Goldens...there would be no wars." She agreed and added: "There would be no malnutrition either!" Too true. Goldens do like their food.

The people wanted to use him for breading & had a DNA test done which showed he was a carrier for something , can't remember it's name , so the owners had him fixed so it wouldn't be passed on to future generations. We checked with out vet Nurse daughter who teachers Vet Nursing about it , she said it may never be a problem for him , he may only be a carrier & if it dose become it won't be until later years. We decided to take the risk he was what we wanted being 11months old now so he goes out side to the toilet , is not a big dog & good with our grand daughters. He has also started to make my wife a little more relaxed which is what I was hoping for with her anxiety . We had a Cavalier X Dachshund for about 8 years ( looked like a Cav with short legs) she was a lovely dog , she was taken from us with an enlarged heart.

My son's family has a Cavalier, and while not the brightest dog I know, she is affectionate and very gentle, and an all round nice dog.

It is unfortunate that the breed has some genetic problems which can be life threatening, Early detection is critical in the management of those issues. My Cav, Henry, copped the double whammy of cardiac disease and Syringomyelia [SM] but to date has missed the complication of Chiari.

With SM a favorable outcome may be achieved with early intervention. Henry has had his for 8 years, he is now 10, and apart from irregular SM attacks [which may may last for months at a time] he gets around like a 2 year old.

That really surprises me JD. I rate my Cav and the breed in general - as one of the cleverest I have ever uncounted.

Henry was a wild, wilful, out of control monster who had no training at all when I got him at 2 years old. Today he is calm, steady, responds to over 30 different commands and still likes to learn new ones.

That's interesting - maybe it is the particular dog, and I am getting my impression of the breed from her. She is the only one I have had a lot to do with.
