Cooper?? Another member's son is also called cooper. Hehe...

the price range for red toy poodle is 650 - 1500

Hello...i've highlighted some of the things u asked. I'll go accordingly.

1. Some basic checking of the poodle
- the ears & feet- make sure there is no some sort of 'crusty' skin; it's a sign of mange
- any part of the body - there shud not be any flaky skin (looks like dandruff) - most prob it's fungal infection
- whole body check for any ticks (even when u have brought home the pup, always assume it has ticks already coz
u cannot see the eggs on the body)
- slap the sides of the pup's body to check for any coughing
- lotsa black & smelly ear wax - most prob it's ear mites

2. I'm now having a thai poodle. i think i can let u know whether ALL thai poodles die fast or not in another one month. Kakakkaakak...

3. Price is not the only indication of quality. I got my son for only rm680 from a homebreeder.

4. 2 weeks guarantee on illness & death is BULLSHIT. U have to wait for 2 more weeks after the 3rd vaccine to determine whether ur pup is actually healthy. Parvovirus (very very deadly but there are some dogs who survived too) only shows signs from 7 to 10 days in UR house, not Malaysia. So if the agent/breeder gives u 1 week warranty, it is not enuf!!!

Preferable dont get from petshops unless u know the owner well. And not all home breeders can be trusted. Equip urself with sufficieny knowledge & see, judge, decide for urself.

Approx Medical expenses :

1. Vaccines - rm100 - 120
2. If kena fungal infection
- Cream : a few ringgit
- Malaseb shampoo :rm50 if i'm not mistaken
3. If kena mange -
3-4 jabs (rm15 per jab)
4. If kena ear mites
Ear drops : rm 21
5. If kena ticks
- Frontline COmbo / Spray : so expensive but so little

Poodles r very prone to skin disease. My Thai poodle got diagnosed with ALL the four above yesterday. LOL...

Approx Grooming expenses (4-6 weeks once)

1. Basic grooming : rm20-40
2. Full grooming : rm60-100
3. Nice cutie baju : rm15-above 100 (depends where u purchase)
4. Not forgetting collars, leash, carrier, shoes, hat etc

Others :
1. bed
2. playpen/cage
3. health supplements
4. toys

Damn funny hor? Yday i thot i won lottery - struck all the skin diseases. LOL...I oso got to know all these things yday . When i bought her i only checked for fungal but it was only developed 2 days back - just a small spot on hand. Dr.MErvin shaved that part to apply medication easier. And the mange only a minor one so i quickly opted for injections first - dun wanna wait until last vaccine.

And when he said that after 3rd vaccine, somemore need to wait 2 more weeks to confirm healthy, i nearly pengsan.

I could try to contact the agent for an exchange la..but like u, i oso got 'kam cheng' with Blossom liao. I find her a very strong gal, easily adaptable to new environment, food & situation.

Hi...congrats

Just a gentle reminder : pups shud only get their 1st vaccine jab at or above 6 weeks - earlier than that would be invalid and u will need an extra jab later.

If the pup is healthy and at an appropriate age when it goes to u (at least 6 wks), it doesnt require milk anymore. U only soak the kibbles. Use kibbles as treats too when u train the pup coz it's not very advisable to give them other treats as poodles' stomach tend to be on the sensitive side - scared lao sai. Give them fruits at a later age too.

WHat colour is ur poodle? Do share with us her pics...

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Elsie replied all the way from Bkk...kiakiakia..

Poodle poodle...

There is one from Thailand by breeder Mei Mei in Subang 2. The price is very reasonable for silver colour. I was so tempted to get it but its triangular face and hanging ears stopped me. It's quite small size for an almost 2 mth old pup. If u r interested, PM me.

Check The Star Classifieds too...there's always this person selling toy poodles with MKA.

Wow..i feel as if i'm working at a poodle SERVICE centre.

Ya wo..hehe..poodle escort...

Eh, how come u knew i accompany someone to view poodles de? Anyway, it was a bad experience. Pup badly infected with skin prob and lungs infection.

Weijie, buy from a reputable breeder.

Dangerous job. Later bring home parvovirus then die...

Yalah, i got nothin more interesting to do. Hehe...how;s ur baby?

Last sunday got event meh?

Hello...is that one of ur darlings in the attachment?

Yeah...Karen told me her 3 mth old pup is 6 inches tall now. It does look kinda big for her age but some pups mature faster than the others. No tail at all? Not even 2 cm? But proper grooming will make it look as if it has one. The fur around the invisible tail will grow to be a pom pom as time goes by.

Next month which date? I hope to join too...alamak, me sound more excited than my furkids.

Oh? During the school hols...

Cooper got new look ah? CLean face?

Xiaorei, brandy at 8 mths already 4kg? What did u feed her? Does she get enuf exercise?

Pengsannnnnnnnn...the vet got weigh properly? I cant imagine...
