Lol... the electronic one wor... that's mean I need to buy a weighing scale ah?

Really ah? Nowonder when he weigh Miki the weigh says 4.8kg and before that was only 4.2kg ... 600g in 1 month, I shall try my own electronic weighing scale

eh...we better let him know...otherwise, all the dogs become obese!!
but miloboy's weight is very consistent wo..

only angel's n summer's weight dropped...1st time 950gms n 3.8kg respectively...one mth later dropped to 900 gms n 3.4kg....muahahhahhhaah

I'm here to ask for advise from the experienced and i don't like the way you jump to conclusion so fast without knowing the real me.
You're not helping me in any ways by your egoistic reply.
Everyone starts from nothing before they something.

Anyway, the puppy is fine now. Visited vets and were assured that he is perfectly healthy though a bit starved. I'm increasing his meal portion a little.
I am also looking for ways to bath him in a correct way. He's very frightened by water the first time bathed him (ironically poodle is trained as duck hunter).

I am sorry that I sounded rude. I understand when u say everyone starts from nothing and become something, but u r risking ur puppy life by bringing him out on a long trip and exposing him to virus attack! Thank God he is ok. The way u describe how u get ur poodke sounded like you are rich. My aunt's friend own a poodke who ius rich and are asking whether if my cousin wants it. I was like wtf!!! Treating poodle like old clothes?? Forgive me if I get you so wrong.

On bathing them, don't bath too often yet. They are too young and if not careful, water can go into their lungs through nose and can cause fatality. The best way is to bath them in a basin or a bucket. Fill the water with warm water(not too hot n cold) up to his chest level.wet him first and apply his shampoo on the sponge and wipe him thorough from tail to head. When rinsing him with water, use ur hand to block his nose before u rinse his face part. Make sure you bath him fast as he might catch a cold if too long. When he is older, you can bath him from shower head (warm) and u need to comb him during shower.

Hope I help this round and there's no way any can help based on ur previous question. Will try to help if I can. Share a pic of ur pup, introduce to us. Btw, water dog is their ancestor only. Toy poodle are as a result of cross breeding of other breed. Therefore not all poodles love water.

My Percy recently got LOTS of ticks and flea...at 1st i used frontline to spray and the i help him "cabut"..but still got a lot...so i brought him to shave totally botak! Then only can see ALL the ticks! So horrible...


His playpen and cage there got so many..some dead some still crawling everywhere. Then my groomer recommend using Bayticol ( not sure if the spelling correct) to bath him...he drink that mixture and keep vomiting..had a scared of my life..that day was Sunday and my hometown usually no vet open that day.. Thank God i got the vet number and immediately called and ask how to cure...i put 12ml in 10 litres of water...too strong for him i think...


Not sure if he still got ticks or not as i am now in KL and he's in my hometown...
I think i saw lots of small white-ish thing around his cage tray..that's the eggs rite?? How to make my house free from ticks and fleas?? My mum used Ridsect( to kill ants and mosquito) to spray at the ticks and flea...

I really pity him keep scratching! Even my another medium sized dog also got a bit...that medium sized dog i put her outdoor and Percy is an indoor dog..

Any solutions??

Ticks are evil evil little creatures that NEVER die. Try using a spot on product (i'm assuming you use the frontline spray) as it is easier to apply correctly. If there are a lot of ticks in the area (called an infestation) you need to apply the spot on every 3 weeks for a while to break the life cycle. You will need to treat both your dogs at the same time or the ticks will just bounce from one to another feeding off whoever doesn't have prevention on at the time.

On top of that you need to treat the area. This is where the Bayticol comes in. Although Bayticol is created as a tick bath for dogs, i very very very rarely suggest using it as such (unless there are literally multiple ticks in a 1inch area, all over your dog). Bayticol is a crazy strong poison and it is so easy to overdose (through licking, or making it too strong) and can even cause a dog to become lethargic just from applying it correctly (simply from the fumes and absorption through the skin). Over time Bayticol seeps into the liver and kidneys and can cause problems in the long run so isn't a great product to rely on to keep the ticks off your dog. If i have a dog come in with a severe tick problem i will usually recommend myself or a vet to do the tick wash to ensure it is done as safely as possible.
Saying that, Bayticol is an indispensable weapon in my arsenal against dreaded ticks. It works really well to treat the area that is infested (inside/outside your house). Dilute it as you would to treat your dog, but use it instead to mop the floor and walls (paying special attention to any cracks and small holes. Also remember to look up, ticks that have no food (such as when your dog is on tick prevention) will often climb up high (to the top of walls/corner between the wall and ceiling) to hibernate until a food source comes along again (when the prevention runs out).
When you mop the floor/walls, move your dog to another area and leave the Bayticol for a couple of hours. Then mop over with water to remove the poison (this isn't so necessary for areas your dog can't reach such as close to the ceiling). I usually suggest mopping with Bayticol every couple of weeks for a few months to make sure you don't miss any of the ticks (they are very sneaky and love to hide). You can also wash any material bits (dog beds/curtains etc) in Bayticol as well (although it sometimes discolors some materials, you can always start with a tiny bit of Bayticol to try and keep everything the right color) to make sure there are none hiding in there.
Once you don't see any more ticks in the area you can step back the Spot on to once every month. Keep an eye out to make sure they don't start to multiply again.

Tick eggs are white and usually will be found in one big pile (one mother bug will lay hundreds and hundreds of eggs in one go). The easiest way to clean them up is to pick them up with a strip of tape and then burn the tape to ensure they won't hatch anyway.

Generally you need to keep using prevention constantly for at least 6months to really really make sure there are no ticks left. If there is even one female left around after your preventions and moppings, the infestation will start all over again.

I know how you feel, ticks really really suck, i hate them more than anything else i think.
Good luck, hope you are all tick free soon .

Oh yes - if you have time to sit and pick ticks off, or look around the walls/area and pick them out, this will speed up the process as there will just be less around. Keep a bottle of water around that you can drop the ticks in (clean out the bottle every 2days) to make sure they don't get back into action.

I have one weird question: is there any one who invented puppy pampers, just like human baby pampers? In that case the puppies can just wear the pampers so we won't be worry if they pee or poo at the wrong places. Then they can go without pampers when they are older say 10 months old?

@debbie: got, for the female when on heat. I don't think it's good cause they cannot train their bladder for a bit longer and pee as they feel like.

For boys who mark you can use regular baby diapers, but sideways (so it covers the penis and leave a kind of pouch under to catch the pee). I also use this as extra protection when any of my girls are on heat so Prince doesn't get them accidentally (of course he is separated from them as well, but the extra 'just in case' diaper really helps my peace of mind), plus he always goes on a marking rampage when they are on heat so would be wearing it anyway.

as yeowa said, there are female 'panties' that you put a pad in for females on heat, however they don't stay on very well and increase the chances that she gets an infection by a lot so i don't really like them at all.

As far as poop goes, the way a dog is built, it would be very hard to put a diaper type thing on them for poop without it just smooshing into their coat and behind area, causing terrible mats, dirt and probably a nasty swollen infected anus (if you have ever seen a dog who's coat has trapped poop over the rear hole for even just an hour or so you will see how red and swollen (and obviously uncomfortable) it gets :S).

As far as 'toilet training' it is important that your puppy learns to go in a particular place at a young age so they don't develop the habit of just going wherever they are as they get older. If you gave them pampers to prevent accidents until they were 10 months old they would be so used to just peeing/pooing wherever they are, it will be next to impossible to train them out of it without moving house!! Plus, you will have to train them where the right place to go is eventually (just as you have to train (i guess some people would prefer the word 'teach :S) a human baby) so you might as well start as soon as they get to you as a puppy has the capability to learn and is more mobile than a human baby of the same age (it will be much faster this way).

Er I don't think so, also a dog won't wanna pee or poop in the pampers, just live with that when they're young and poodles are very smart breed they will eventually learn, some take 1 days some take 1 month but still they will learn where's the right place to do their business. They need to be taught and not use a short cut like pampers or so and they won't just suddenly learn without the owner coaching them for example I may prefer her to do on a tray, some prefer them to do on the cage or toilet or garden, so you need to teach and guide them which is the place you want them to do ..

Whatever happens to the "Poodle Standard"!

Although in this picture, this particular breed is so cute. Adorably small in size and talk about that beautiful rounded eyes!

However, in my opinion, I think that that we have to come up with another breed name for this as this is not really look like poodle anymore.

Toy poodle or poodle for that matter quote: (http://www.akc.org/breeds/poodle/index.cfm)

" Eyes-- very dark, oval in shape and set far enough apart and positioned to create an alert intelligent expression. [U]Major fault: eyes round, protruding, large or very light".


"Muzzle-- long, straight and fine, with slight chiseling under the eyes. Strong without lippiness. The chin definite enough to preclude snipiness. Major fault: lack of chin. Teeth-- white, strong and with a scissors bite. Major fault: undershot, overshot, wry mouth".

I wonder how did they come up with this Short muzzle and big rounded eyes look! Mix breeding perhaps?

What you guys think?

i think definitely involve mix breeding, how the origin giant poodle transform become a miniature or standard poodle? the ppl oso tried to get the miniature or standard poodle by cross breeding the giant poodle with other breeds (i might be wrong ). So i'm wondering that is there any wrong that ppl try to breed a smaller version of poodle juz like wat ppl did to produce miniature or standard poodle?

No offence here, juz want to have a discussion...

Hi All, I just adopted a male poodle from 1 of the forumer here.
But one of his hind leg is limping(seems to be fractured, not sure how to descript it). Seems to be quite serious, was told that it is due to injury.
Planning to bring him to vet to see if it can be cured.
Any recommendation guys?

Ok.. i already got a name for my future boy, he will be named "Dorian". Is a musical term since I love music, choosing a name starts with alphabet "D" as mine also starts with alphabet "D"...

just call him durian la. . haha
