mine is not those yellowish dirty stain wor. it looked like the back hair only ... has cream color. but i am just not too sure if its going off in the later stage . the legs , skirt and mouth area is white actually but it turns yellow cos of stains i guess. maybe some experts or MS lover experienced this b4?

I read somewhere that it is better to use a collar as opposed to a harness. I cant seem to locate the article.

but he is better now after being "smacked". whenever he pulls now, i will clear my throat and he will either sit down or stop pulling. wit max , one cannot use the soft approach . he is just too stubborn n rebellious.

a solution of bicarbonate of soda will also remove the smell but germisep (being chlorine based) has antiseptic properties.

but i dont know if hiro's bed can be soaked !!! furthermore, germisep, being chlorine based, has bleaching effects

Hi Puddycat!

Welcome i got a white ms too. what gender is your white ms? for my white ms.. it is born as pure white. but these day i notice there is some fur on his back is brown colour too ! need to observe really carefully only can see. But for me still ok la as long as it is not so obvious. I wonder is it because white ms bloodline not yet stable tat's why like tat.

Actually the white MS i have seen and like are pure white , like a Westie !!! i kind of like that but pretty pricey

Friend has a salt and pepper. Over the years , it has turned greyish white !!!!! the fur has strands of darker grey fur interspersed in between the white fur.

it looks like the hair of a man who is turning white but not fully white yet

could the discoloration be caused by the food? Because i heard from a pet shop owner that there are customers who complain about their MS discoloring when they eat certain type of dog food.

Added on January 8, 2010, 6:50 pmoic... thx for the info
But how to differentiate? after all the pups dont necessarily turn out white from birth. Also, not all pet shops nowadays are trustworthy and reliable.

Besides, i would'nt want to exchange a pup i bought just because he's the wrong color (supposing the breeder allows it)... best to be able to spot the difference from the beginning.

hehe, i looked at a thread about styling and i liked mohawk/poodle ear for schnauzer

westie also can try got any pics ar?

I don't know about differentiating white Schnauzers, as I'm not a breeder nor am I a person who shows Schnauzers. I guess it IS hard to tell whether a pup would be a pure white Schnauzer...unless both parents are pure white too. In that case, the possibility of having pure white pups would be higher. I wouldn't trust pet shops at all as a lot pet shop workers really don't have a clue as to how to care for a dog, let alone know how to differentiate what's a good trait or otherwise. You would be better off buying from reputable breeders who can show you the parent(s) of the pups as the parents are a good indicator of what the pup might turn out when they grow up (looks and temperament).

But still, if you intend to show, there's no point getting a pure white Schnauzer as white is considered a fault. It is still not recognized as a color for show Schnauzers in quite a few countries. But as you say, if you want to have a dog just as a pet dog, then color shouldn't be a matter I guess... What matters is that you already liked the pup when you saw it (maybe for its temperament or personality), not because of the color.

Nope, i dont intend to show Just curious only, and also for knowledge in case i want to buy a white schnauzer in the future
Frankly speaking, i love all the colours (white included). I have a salt n pepper pup now. After i graduate, i plan to get another one (maybe a pure black one first), coz i just cant afford to keep more than 1 schnauzer at the moment

Hi, I would like to know where can I get this germisep product? How much is it? Thanks.

lol, my pure black schnauzer now became bronze -.- any recommended shampoo? or vitamin?

If you stay near Kuchai Entrepreneurs' Park, Kuan Pet Salon sells it...it's about RM68 - RM70 per bottle of about 500 pills. Each bucket of water needs about 2-4 pills

get black + silver better.. coz is hard to differentiate a pure black schnauzer.. whole body black, and those ppl who dont have doggie, will think they are juz normal dog.. lol mine for example.. haha.

guys, need help..

Added on January 10, 2010, 1:18 amin malaysia also have... but not the yogi pet pee tray la... it's similar in function (as a pee try), but not as convenient. The one i saw in malaysia is kind of small... and you cannot just buy 2 units and fix it together like the yogi pet pee tray 1. However, if your dog is a small breed and FEMALE, then should be ok i guess.

you can buy that 1... or...

you can get a few friends that are interested in buying some items from the website and combine bill so that can reach sd$100

or... you can use a wee wee pad with tray

i urgently need the pee tray

Any other place or most pet shops also have it? Thanks so much.

I doubt that most pet shops have it, but you can check with them and see. I seldom visit pet stores these days anyways, so I don't really know. I get my germisep from Kuan's

hi...im using the wee wee pad tray currently...it works perfectly with Tom...i think the function is quite the same as the yogi pee tray rite...mayb wee wee pad tray will be easier to get here...

I'm using wee wee pads for my pup too... but without the tray lol!
Like Jenny said.... it works...

after a week, she knows how to pee... in 2 weeks she knows how to poo. Really happy except on certain occasions when she get's too excited, she'll poo somewhere else
but, at 3 months, she's still a baby, so it's excusable... haha
