When I first got Sunny I was so paranoid too. Perfectly normal. Our vet told us to feed our girl About a cup and a half of food a day and give her omega 3 fatty acid rich food and sometimes I add this doggie fish oil to her dry kibble. She really likes it. I also give her these treats...

This is so sad. I will pray for you furkid Sadie. She is so beautiful; it is a shame this has happened to her at such a young age. God protect her and keep her. I will pray for her and your family. Amanda and Sunny

Breeding for "Good healthy Pet" traits What do you guys think about breeding for "good healthy pet" traits rather than the "breed standard"? Any thoughts?

Why would you think that you would get your head "knocked off" for believing in something that you have a great deal of experience in? I came onto this forum for advice and you are giving me just what I asked for. Do not fear that I am going to get angry at the truth. I hope that I can breed...

Thank you for all of your help! I never realized a dog could have so many titles. BTW, I contacted the owners of Sunny's great Grandsire. Hopefully they can help me and maybe even be my mentors. Thanks guys.

The one dog with the AKC title would be CH Whiteoak's Dealer's Choice II. Does this mean I should ask my breeder about the dam's family too and see if they competed in other venues? All these people live in a 50 mile radius from me, would it be ok that I tried contacting them? That would...

Well, I tried to scan it today and our scanner is not working. :rolleyes2: Of course the stupid technology does this when I need it. I have copied it word for word and made a digital version of the pedigree with everything that is on the actually pedigree. I can email that to you? A PM...

Tofu Pup has been helping me out a lot with figuring out what tests I need to have done. I had these simple tests that the regular vet did (he felt her hip bones and moved them, tested her for regualr doggy diseases, and he said we are going to test her for Thyroid problems when she is...

These are all the dogs in Sunny's family. I could not figure out how to show you the actual pedigree because it would not let me upload it on here. Sire Betty's Skippy Lad DN16078004 (12-08) SBL & WH Dam Betty's "Misty" Delight of Joy DN14569204 (12-08) SBL & WH Sire Diana's BJ...

OO!! I have the pedigree so I will copy it and post it to my pictures. Then you can tell me how I can find these dogs on the AKC website :smile2: Amanda and Sunny

Thank you for all your help. I contacted the breeder and she said that the vin numbers give available DNA tests and screenings. I have tested Sunny and so far so good. I will make sure I look on there for any CH's as well. Thank you for all of your help! It is really helping me...

Hehe, I actually explained that in another forum. It is in the breeding forum under "breeding questions" if you would like to know :) Amanda and Sunny

I have her pedigree and it goes back four generations. I was looking at it last night and I was curious about how I am supposed to tell if she is "special" according to the AKC? It would be a plus since I want to run her for agility before I breed her (believe me she runs fast). Is there a way I...

Thank you so much! That really helps me a lot. I am not sure if I am going to breed Sunny really soon, since I have a lot to learn. I wanted to wait a few years when both of us are ready :) That is why I am starting early education myself. I really value your information and thanks again for...

I thank you for your advice and I am glad to see your concern. I do plan to learn more about the breed, that is why I joined this site. I have been reading some books and I already have help from the breeder I got my Sunny from. I just wanted to double check information with more professional...
