"I have a litter of 8 medium size pastoral puppies and we're galloping through newspaper now that they're nearly 4 weeks old. Please can anyone suggest where I could get more?"

"We regularly take our holidays in Wales. Carmarthenshire is now off our list of destinations. The farm makes 100-200K profit per annum. Wonder how much the area gains from tourism ? The local councils seem immune to any requests to ban this horrendous business on moral and animal welfare grounds but might be more willing to listen to their constituents about possible lost revenue from tourists."

"The bitch is critical and they have been told to prepare for the worst. I hate to think of their vets bill and that they lost at least 6 puppies."

"I have an almost 2 year old staffie bitch. Today we were approached by an old friend of my partners and offered a stud to mate with Ella. I am wondering if anyone can offer advice on the pitfalls and problems that come with breeding."

"The breed standard needs to be there, so that good breeders can keep a gage of the size and shape of a breed, otherwise it is a mess. For the breeds which have become too exaggerated, it's the breed standard that needs to change little by little, not the fault of the breeders, the breed standard is like our bible we can only adhere to what we are given."

"The very best of luck to all those Champdogs members competing at Crufts."

"She looks like a standard Liver Dalmatian, moves well and seems to have a nice temprement. If the KC have agreed that she meets all the requirements for being a Dalmatian then that should be the end of the discussion. Some people don't like change and they never will regardless of the health benefits"

"I contacted several breeders I respected in the breed and they confirmed that they would allow the use of their studs to bitches whose hips had scored 8 points over the breed average providing she was a good example of the breed"

"Members discuss the pros and cons of keeping dogs in kennels"

"I am fast approaching having to make a very hard decision. What is making it worse is not knowing what options there are for my beloved dog after he is gone. I know some vets will have them cremated and return the ashes but are there any restrictions on where you can lay a pet dog to rest that is not cremated ?"

"The Kennel Club has announced that from 2012 it will normally register no more than four litters from any one bitch because of concerns that the current legal limit of six litters can potentially be detrimental to a bitch's welfare"

"I'd really like your advice and opinions. Can anyone give me some advice on where I can look to find an adult dog (French Bulldog) for rehoming? My partner and I are dog lovers and would love to give an unwanted adult frenchie a home."

"I'm due to home two of my pups next weekend and I must admit I'm feeling a bit teary eyed already. Is this normal? I vowed not to get too attached to the pups but how can you help it ?"

"The laws are already in place to deal with this problem, the whit and wherewithal to stop it is missing - that's down to lack of implementation of the existing laws by local councils. No amount of changes in Welsh Assembly will alter that. Now though, there will be even more to inspect, meaning the big Puppy Farms can slip through the net."

"I have have been approached regarding using my dog for stud. I have heard that this can change their temperament. He has a great temperament just now and would hate for him to change."

"Our pups are 6 1/2 weeks old and no matter how many times I mop the floors there is now a urine smell when you enter the back of our house."

"I received a notice of Kennel club registration of a litter, listing the sire as my dog. My dog is not the Sire, as he has not been used as stud since early 2009, the letter quotes a date of mating of July 2010."

"I sometimes read about someone taking months to research a suitable stud for their girl, seeing if their lines are compatible or they are a good match for their girl. I just wondered, purely out of genuine interest, just exactly what makes a stud compatible or a good match?"

"I think there are plenty of FCI ways that I like and would like to see within the KC, but likewise there are parts I much prefer the KC way of doing."

"What are your opinions on these dog foods. Which is nutritionally better and which provides better value for money ?"

"I visit numerous animal shelters as part of my work/interest (and have done so over the last 20 years) and notice a common norm developing for 'maximum time dog can be left policy' of 4 hours."

"I see no problem leaving a dog in the car with the owner popping back regularly to check it. Yes I know it can still get hot in november but if the poster has their car kitted out their car with a cage or grill, then the temp is not going to get too hot for the puppy."

"My Leo pup has just finished her first season (10 mnths) and we won't be breeding from her. Our breeder recommended waiting till over 2 till spaying, others in the breed have recommended waiting till 3yrs. The vet suggested after the first season around 18mths."

"I've had my 2 on Wagg Worker for the past 2/3 weeks, (cheapest of the cheap, I know!) and while they look ok, and output is fine, I have noticed that they seem to smell, well, more doggier!"

"This is brilliant and a big time waster, especially for those interested in pedigrees. ALL Crufts schedules and catalogues are now online to view, from 1886 onwards!"

"I've finally decided to do 2 classes at the champ show (minor puppy and open ). If I came in the first three in minor could you pull out of the open class with the beaten rule ?"

"Im thinking of getting a Doberman pup from Ireland which has a docked tail, would I still be able to show him here in the uk ? "

"What precautions are you taking, aside from the usual good practice, when it comes to reducing the chances of parvo transmission ?"

"It's made me very concerned about taking the dogs in fields when there are a lot of grass seeds about. Who would have thought that such a small thing could cause to much misery and discomfort !"

"We all know they are doing their very best with limited funds and resources and are generally brilliant, dedicated people - but could some places do things better to achieve more successful adoptions?"

"It seems a bit unfair to me, that people who have a healthy example of a breed, and know their lines carry few problems have to pay for health testing"
