Oh, it's not a big event thingy...just a gathering between the Min. Schnauzer owners and their furkids to come together and socialize, chit chat and stuff Don't really know if there are any activities...I will most probably be there, but might be a little late. Are you going?

Ooh, that sounds nice... Maybe we can discuss that when we meet. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi PinkyShore! Do post up photos of Hero... I'm sure he's a cutie!

Actually, the restaurants mentioned are those that allow pets to sit with their owners inside. Don't think I've seen a restaurant that caters to pets just yet.

Umm...I'm not exactly the organizer for the gathering Winnie is, but everyone is encouraged to come to make it more fun! The list is more like to see how many people are going...you don't necessarily have to be on the list to be able to come Even if you have a friend who decided at 9am on Sunday to come to the gathering, they are all welcome! The more the merrier ma

Hi monkeyguy! Welcome to the forum! Please do share more photos of your pup with us! And there's no requirement to join in...

Wow...a doggie buffet? That's so cool! I'd love to join as well...

I'm fine with any date...preferably on a weekend I personally think it's great if I can find a cafe where I can actually sit with Scottie and not being stared at like I just brought an alien into the cafe! Dining with my dogs has never been a problem with me I can't really speak for other owners out there, but for me...it would be great to be able to dine with my pets around!

That sounds fine to me Can't wait for it!

Try not holding the treat too high up from where he's sitting...maybe you could also teach him to 'Wait' while you slowly bring the treat to his Down position. If he stands up, get him to sit again and say 'Wait'. Then lure him down with the treat...hope that helps!

Some tricks are easier to learn compared to others...it also depends on how we teach the pup. Inconsistencies might cause a bit of confusion at first, but eventually you'll get it when you've taught your dog more. Right now, I think there will be some 'hiccups' as you train, because Ramses is still young, and he hasn't exactly grasped that what he's doing is actually learning...

Actually, Schnauzers don't shed at all...or to be politically correct, they shed very little until it is not noticeable. Scottie only 'sheds' when I comb or brush his fur...kind of like when we comb our hair,there will be some falling out. Shedding so much until you can see around the room might be a different thing =\

OMG...I'm SOOO sorry peach77!! I didn't notice it at all...so sorry again!! Scottie is always like that...he even marked my pants that day...kena beat by me kau kau!

It was nice meeting you all...I don't really know what to talk about in person most of the time,so sorry if I look hostile to you. All your pups are so cute!

Hi Clement,

What on board sign do you mean? And are you selecting from the previous photos of our furkids, or we can post up the photos here?

Here are my photos for the gathering...a bit hard to get nice close ups unless I had help, coz Scottie was being a real kay poh that day. So sorry again to peach77 for the accident with your bf's shoe!

Doggies socializing:







And some close up photos:

Thanks!

I wish I got more photos of the other doggies too...but Scottie is too excited that day I guess. He keeps pulling me places and I got quite distracted. Wish I could capture more of the gathering. I saw Jojo! She's so cute! Too bad you had to rush back...

So nice you got all the pups' photos, Asa! Thanks for sharing them with us!

Haha...it's okay! Still sounds the same anyways

Hi Alice! Welcome to the Schnauzer club... What do you mean by it is dark? Do you mean the color?

LOL! Actually Schnauzers' fur won't turn lighter in color if we hand strip them like in the confirmation shows. That was supposed to be the way their coats should be, but it's quite a long and tedious process, and not many people know how to do it in Malaysia (the ones that do are too expensive) hence we turn to clippers. Because we clip their coats (ie send to groomers where they shave with the electric clippers), it will cause the color to turn lighter in color.

Yup...hand stripped coats are harsher and a bit wiry in texture. I read that they last longer compared to clipped coats, meaning that after stripping once, it can last for about 3-4 months...compared to once a month grooming with clippers, it's quite good. Wish it was cheaper to do it here though, and I KIND OF like Scottie's coat soft...haha!
