I believe me and Barney also kinda fated

I never decided to buy at that time was scouting and etc

Then my mum helped me asked this petshop, they told her to check back in 2 weeks time
I was bored that day and rang the petshop asking if they have any, they said he was scheduled to arrived 2 weeks later, manatau the breeder sent him earlier than expected, so he just arrived

Went and check him out, doesnt really looks like the type i was looking for, but somehow i kinda like his temperament and behaviour
Didnt decide to buy him tho, i went back and tot carefully about him, and later in the evening went and buy him






I tried to look for home breeders for 4 months but couldnt locate any or couldnt find any i wanted

hobbes,actually u can easily locate breeders on adpost or <no spam links>.com.i found mine thru adpost.n i'm glad my breeder is not a backyard breeder and lucky to have a very helpful,kind and knowledgeable breeder.it took me one year to locate breeders in pg,ipoh and kl.but unfortunately,i've lost some contacts as i've changed my pc and my harddisk spoilt and couldn't retriever back my files lo and only have one in ipoh which is lab breeder lor...all these need a lot of patience and i'm glad the hard work paid off as ben is a real great one.everyone loves him incld my neighbors.everyone was shocked to see he has real big paws.compared to their other golden or other breeds lor...lolz.ok,ben is hungry.wanna give him something to eat...chao...

Hey insisdeurheaven, thanks i know about adpost before buying barney, even stalked my<no spam links>

But they dont appeal to me tho, for example as of late adpost has plenty of back stabbing going around, i dont have confidence in them
Asean puppy do have plenty of nice looking GR's but then i heard complains/rumour about them, hence i stayed away

Wat is he having for lunch today?

lolx... must tell ppl de ma.. later ppl tot u hilang ka... kena ben bite bite like his chewy toy.. kekekeke...

Actually the certificate is quite important in the sense that you make sure that there isn't inbreeding within the bloodlines of your dog... this is to reduce the risks of having an unhealthy puppy ...and also to make sure the puppy is really a golden..afterall..u paid good money for it

Sometimes i see petshops selling puppies that are selling puppies they claim to be golden retrieversr..but are really quite far away from the breed standard.... ie: at least 50% of the puppies i see have their tails standing around 60 degrees off their back ..
according to the UK/US breed standard it should be tapered straight off their back with perhaps a slight curl at the tip of their tails
something like this picture

Just some useful information for pple who are looking out for a puppy... =)

Hehe.. Unfortunately, mine 1 is mix breed so cannot have cert. You have your point but i think the most important is whether the puppy suitable for you or not (got fate with you or not).. Hehe..

tty81,you're right.having cert can let u know that there's no inbreeding btw the dogs...glad mine has cert but need to wait another 2 or 3 months for the cert by mka.

lovely_Gal: Yeap!its ok for you as you already know that you are buying a mixed already...other unethical petshops might just pass it off a pure bred to new owners who do not possess sufficient knowledge. =)

insideurheaven.... i don't think you should give him heartgard now maybe after one year... like bigben i do a test first for him very expensive la... but the vet say he healthy don't need to take it... so he told me to be careful if any dogs near my house surrounding is sick or dying then give him heartgard for prevention.

have to resort to hitching up your dogs to a wagon to take us to work soon...think i need a few more alaskan Malamutes....

ROFL

thanks bigben.so is it necessary for me to get him tested by the vet first?my place here got lots of mosquitoes.so js worried lor.now always put mosquito mat for ben in the hall b4 we go to sleep.

good point!



@insideurheaven,
Heartgard is for preventing heartworm in dogs. Heartworm is transmitted by mosquito from infected dog to a healthy one.
Based on what my vet told me - i can choose to start giving heartgard to my puppy after the 3rd vacination (around 4 months old plus), or I can also choose to start after 6 months old. The difference is if I choose after 6 months old, the vet will need to do a heartworm test (blood test) on the puppy first. This is to ensure the puppy has not been infected with heartworm before starting the treatment, as Heartgard is only effective against the heartworm larval, which has an incubation period of around 6 months. Hence if the puppy is less than 6 months old, even infected - the worms are still in larval stage and can still be treated by heartgard.

I think it is best that you consult with your vet on this, so that they can give you a better picture of heartworm prevention as well as to answer any question you would like to raise on it.

heart gard is for dog at outside de ha? then now ron is outside i shud giv him? everyday ? or what? and one more thing is giv one time only or muz alwiz giv if he is outside?

You can see won's reply here. So, no matter your dog is at outside or inside, as long as your dog is exposed to mosquito, better give your dog HeartGuard to prevent HeartWorm. Dog suffered from HeartWorm may die~~
You can ask your vet and do some test 1st before you started to feed your dog HeartGuard.
