oh is it?if she keep doing that,try to distract her to something else like play with her with ball and train her sit,down etc.
that way,will help to distract her from looking at ur legs as a toy for biting.but it's really normal for pups to be like that coz they're like kids.wanna play...

lovely gal,i wish you all the best in training choi choi.

good job hobbes.glad you made it!
lovely gal,as i said,replace with holistic ones.choose the food that don't contain harmful chemicals/ingredients like corns,by products,meat meal etc.make sure they list down clearly the ingredients like lamb meat,barley etc.
ben's very very hyperactive,playful and now knows sit command.just few times teach him,he got it....now he's asleep.then i can online awhile.hehe

hi simchi,so sorry to hear bt fala.my ben so notti.just took my dried laundry a small towel and play with it.i'm playing tug-o-war with him...haihzzzz

icic...where are you working and where's ur hometown oh...ur situation js like mine.i left ben at breeder's place coz renovation.manatau,contractors delayed one month.now only do...sob sob.now i have to clean his pee and poo in the house.so naughty of him even i spank him and scolded him many times.here are some pics of him.he's going to be 4 months on 2nd june...

thanks oh...ya that time he's only around 2 months plus.he's not yet 4 months but going to be in 3 days time lor.lolz
he looked big coz he follow his parents.both are big bones.summo now he looks skinny coz it's growing stage.during 4 - 7th month,he'll look skinny like malnutrition and will look ugly one.now also he is different than the last time i saw him.last time he had furry fur purely white cream colour.now it's this colour.exactly going to be like his mum's.his dad's fur is dark golden in colour.pretty hard to find this colour around lor.lolz
i m not sure bt choi choi lor whether she'll follow the same stage as ben or not.but taking pictures will come in handy as u can notice the difference in her.

when ben poo,there's no sign of blood.his poo also not smelly but smell nice wor...maybe it's the proformance food i gave him plus the canned food.eat very 'ho liao' food.
i would suggest you get 2nd opinion from other vet and see bt her poo and her health.coz different vets got different opinions and different expertise.some may be good in surgeries,some may be good in skin diseases and other illnesses.

Added on May 30, 2008, 12:53 pmi think it's too young to train put down.go slowly.at this time,now my ben also very playful.i need to calm him down by training him to sit b4 giving his treats or his lunch/dinner lor.now he gladly sits down.now i'm training him to give paw and down.when our pups took something n don't want give it to you,it means he wants to play.when u try to take from him,did he like playfully growl softly?if he did,then he wanna play.gently take the toy from him from his mouth ask him to let go,he'll gladly let it go.hehe.hope it helps

hmmm....in my opinion,i think dark golden pups are sold more expensive than golden coz they are rare and mostly found in overseas retrievers.like my case,ben's dad is australian,mum is thai.i do feel that his ear colour is getting darker like his dad's.dark golden and golden is totally different.golden is light colour one.dark golden is more like dark reddish with golden.too bad i don't have the pics of them.maybe later on when i pay my breeder a visit when wanna take the mka cert plus transfership form from him....hehe

daisy looks like a LR.short fur but don't know ler.maybe a gr as well...very innocent looking.

golden where got dark choc one..i heard got black lor.but in overseas got lor.icic.for me,if creamer colour also,is during pups stage but sooner or later sure turn colour one.unless u buy a purebreed english retriever.that is purely white.bt sure expensive lor...creamer colour tend to get dirty easily than dark golden.last time ben's sis and him went to play under the bike and kena the oil...ben's pretty obvious while his sis,not so obvious.she's dark golden in colour btq.missed her so much.

simchi,you're damn lucky.supposed my pup is ben's sis and ade bought her stuffs,mana tau got other buyer want her offer me higher price.my parents also said better get male than female.scared my joey (mixed breed) will mate wif her...im still missing her very much

ohh.its alright

of course it's a large breed,holy cross.the lab in abc no more liao meh?"

i suggest u go ipoh garden there and have a look 1st.no hurry to buy right?research as much as u can bt the breed whether r u capable of handling large breed dog.it will bark for a reason.but it's NOT A WATCHDOG NOR PROTECT U unless you trained the pup to be protective of the house etc.but usually in this case,retrievers aren't the best watchdogs.best is rotties,gsd or dobermans.like ben,he only barks when my other dog barks other dogs or when he's hungry.
correction - the word 'chain' is leash.it's best train the pup with the leash when u go for a walk.from the day u bought the pup,ps dun chain him/her up immediately.make a connection with the pup so that he/she gets familiar with the new environment etc.btw,ben's now going to be 4 months in 2 days time.n yet,he is huge for his age right now.so all this u have to ask yourself whether r u capable to handle such a big dog.they're smart but may act dumb.i've been scolding ben many times over n over again for peeing n pooping in the house.if i got the chance,i sure put him out of the hse but due to the current contruction on my front porch,i couldn't let him out as yet.at least till the gates has arrived.it takes patience and time to train them commands,toilet train etc..i rest my case

Added on May 31, 2008, 11:22 pmbravo lovely gal.you've grown a lot...
yes,holy cross,the best is train them from young.you can get supplies when you already have the pup or when u purchase it.however,downside of petshops is u dun get to see the pups' parents nor know their genetic history if they have problems with HD etc.thus,taking frm breeders is the best choice and i think u can find pretty a lot of breeders in ipoh.just research as much as u can bt the breed,their temperament whether all these traits can suit you,your family and ur home environment.
my cousin's golden and labs don't bark at strangers instead being utmost extremely friendly.imagine having robbers wanna rob ur house,they are easily fooled by any treats given by the robbers.bear in mind,retreivers love eatings.known for greedy eaters.

nope.not at all.but when i put him in the kitchen,coz he's used to be around wif us in the hall,he'll bark coz he dunwan to be alone lor.lolz...buthis bark very very solid.very loud and 'ong'.

in my case,ben is damn friendly to anyone including the contractors doing my house right now.and neighbours as well.he don't bark at all.if u wan a good watchdog,u shud get a gsd or doberman or even a rottie which is better lor.my cousin's labs only bark at strangers and don't bite them.but their barks is powerful solid one...hehe...same as mine too.

icic
hmm..u can explore your options first lor besides lab.see which is better lor.sometimes no bark at all lei....my joey still barks so we know who's at the door.but if i don't have joey,ben surely won't bark at all lor.have u gone to abc ah

hello guys,i'm js wondering if anyone gives supplements to our furkids bo?like multivites,cod liver oil etc....currently i m giving cod liver oil & brewers yeast(multivites) by vet to ben.but the vet sold it in small bottles for rm 12 per bottle.it's v expensive as it'll last only one wk plus.i wanna buy a bigger bottle version of the multivites but the vet does not sell in big bottle and did not even wanna tell me the brand of the mulitivites.i welcome suggestions and feedbacks on this matter.thank you.

hey tty81,my breeder sell all his pups regardless of colour with same price.but if pet shop,i don't know wor but maybe they can bullshit the customers lo.say it's good etc.
my ben,even though when he's young,he had very white fur,lighter colour on his ears,but at 4 months now,he's leanier,darker fur and darker ears.is that possible?he's 4 months and yet,he doesn't bark at anyone or alert us if there's anything.maybe too early for him coz just brought him back frm my breeder last wed coz my hse under reno ma....anyways,do you feed vitamins to your retrievers?i would like to compliment on your retrievers.they are gorgeous.the pup you bought from aussie is really beautiful.ben's colour used to be like that when he's 6 weeks.but now it's darken already.no matter how dark he is,i still love him. guess he's following his dad coz he is dark golden in colour.

hi bigben,long time no see.yea,i gave him brewers yeast to prevent ticks recommended by vet coz got garlic.but i don't want buy from him coz he sold in small transparent bottle le and cost rm 12.he increased from rm 10.don't know why also.i caught ben with ticks on his body.so vet ask me get brewers yeast and cod liver oil for his fur.

hi tty81
thanks.here's a pic of ben when he's 6 weeks,2 months,3 months and now.notice the colour?it changes...













alright,this pic lei,tied him coz he's very naughty.pee on my mum's favourite mat and bite it till koyak.so,he's making his innocent face here.notti boy.
