Keeping the pup back now to use at stud later on even though they sold him? Doesn't make much sense. But I guess at least he has a home now. I agree...
Ah ok I get you. So it sounds like he showed some good bite inhibition and it was more a back off sign. That's a positive. At least he didn't go...
Kudos to you for stepping in and taking care of what is ultimately your responsibility if you bred this dog. I haven't read all the replies, so...
Yes, I did get 'that' feeling when I met the Hovawart for the first time. No other breed has really entered my radar since discovering them, even...
Please don't get either of them. Not only do they sound poorly bred with little care or thought gone into their breeding, but both breeds and mix...
Brilliant, thanks Carole! Was waiting for that one. Nice his movement was commented on too as that continues to be an issue for us. The club show was...
Thank you Jackie! :) That's better than I was expecting to be honest. I think body wise he's just naturally narrower than some of the others. He has...
Yes, I'm happy with his placing again, but the judge commented about his movement again and that he's 'paddling' on the move. Asked me to go around...
My older two just tolerate it, and I can easily lift them in/out. Cash OTOH, does not like the bath tub! He has to be bathed outside which is a bit...

Uh oh! :eek: :D
Hate to ask, but if anyone can copy & paste the write up for Hovawarts from Richmond I'd be very grateful. I have a feeling the judge didn't...
My Google search threw up a number of US breeders of Tibetan Spaniels on the first page alone.
Do you know if Brownie's siblings and parents remained healthy into old age too? Breeding healthy dogs is about far more than just the dog in front...
And whilst I'm at it. An updated pic of the boy from a few weeks ago after a bath and groom :) [IMG]
This ^^^ We're not talking about breeding a highly popular breed here @6JRT's with every Tom, Dick & Harry at it. The Hov breed community is small...
Ugh. It's a real bug bear of mine studding such young dogs out. People seem to eager to 'prove' their dog before it's even had time to prove itself...
Why are they so expensive? Because people will continue to pay those prices. Simple as that really! :(
Yes, definitely something I continue to bear in mind going forward. It's a tough spot to be in on one hand because as you say, the possible pitfalls...
No, I don't think so. It's just a test that to abide by the terms and conditions of breeding by the ethics of the breed club, must be taken. I asked...
