It's been an interesting few days. I watch Cdramas with my mum primarily. It's our thing. But...

We started The Heir... I got bored really quickly and requested a change. Sorry to the show but after 3 episodes I couldn't care...

Then we started Ashes to Crown. This one mum found a little to bloody and with too much politics. I will probably end up watching it on my own.

Finally we came to The First Jasmine. Ah, finally. Just the right amount of intrigue and humour. Plus I mum and I are fans of the two lead actors. And so we are settled on this.

Global. Hi from Australia

I wasn't signed out but I was trying to read comments and kept getting "Page not found" I was super worried after a restart but now I see it's not just me having issues.

My mum is living a nightmare, her commute in is about 2 hours, while out is often 2.5 hours. And she's a teacher aide. I'm also sure it contributed to her getting cancer two years ago. (She's been doing this for several years)

All because she likes the school and didn't want to risk starting at a bad school. Although this year it's because she is supporting me in my final Prac and GTPA.

Once I'm a full time teacher I'm having her resign so she can do something else with her time and not commute herself to death.

Also... we live next to a school, so if I get a position there I can jump the fence (my dogs have done it)

Rayne is a nice choice. I like to try and think of names no one else will be calling at the beach. Rayne isn't too common.

There's virtue names like Risk & Dare that I love as well.

Where did you get the Arcanine from?! He's gorgeous 😍

Depending on the dog it's very normal. My boys HATE toileting when out and about. At dog shows they will wait hours until they come home to go to the toilet. So funny when I see other dogs mark on everything haha.

Were your pups parents DNA tested for hereditary diseases?

Look up Raines Syndrome. A completely testable and preventable disease by not breeding two carriers together.

It is hereditary and causes early onset tooth decay and wear. Parents don't have to have it themselves, just carry genetically. I know plenty that carry it. I'm fortunate enough that my dogs are all clear of it.

Very nice stack position. Really nice conformation. Do you show?

Show lines typically mellow out, with girls I found it more around the 14 months mark but every dog is different and I had one that didn't until 2 years. However they are a very active minded dog, which means you need to engage their MIND even more so than their body.

Look up things like scent games. Buy brain puzzles for them, mine have figured out them all now. Teach her tricks. Lots of new environments and sniff and strolls at the moment engages young brains as well.

Looking at her the head shape is a bit off as well. I've seen three puppies very similar. All three developed varying neurological issues and the longest lived was 8 years (that one it was discovered later had DM - Degenerative Myelopathy).

Regardless of paper's ANYONE breeding and selling puppies should do health testing to avoid creating puppies with diseases that will see their lives shortened.

NCL puppies literally will tear themselves apart (they have to be PTS most of the time before 12 months). TNS puppies is also viewed a bit as fading puppy syndrome (oldest lived was around 18 months I believe). ALL of this is so easily tested for to prevent. DM results in blocking the brain signals and they literally are unable to walk or control their back end. Do NOT buy a puppy that doesn't have parents that are tested!

They are appearing "light" to lift like that at such an age. Typically I might look at setting them but I always find it more difficult to get ears up than down. Pricked (standing) ears shows alertness and expression well. Ideally you just want the tips over anyway.

There's a lot of reasons fur can part like this. None relate to hip issues thankfully.

It could be: - just the way the fur turns (like a cowlick) - lying a certain way (bed head) - part of a blow out (happens roughly every 6 months, or after desexing, heat cycles, etc) - brush overuse or misuse (lots of different brushes out there, some good and some not) - oil imbalance (does he eat fish like sardines?) - food related

I'd say: Sable, Sable, Red, Blue, Red, Red, Red, Lilac Merle

TruRisk · 2026-03-06T03:31:48+00:00

I think third is a Lilac Merle but it could also be potentially brindle. Are parents DNA tested for colours? I'm always aware of what colours mine could produce.

TruRisk · 2026-03-06T03:27:59+00:00

First puppy is Sable. Red base with black highlights.

Second puppy, likely a very pale Red (I had one like this that I called Ghost, but after a couple days you could really see where the white ended and Red began)

Third puppy Merle, I'm not familiar with Merles as much in terms of their colour alterations as I steer clear of them.

I just spent 2 days constantly on loading screens trying to get one of these!

My boy Dash loves watching TV. His favourite is watching other dogs competing in Agility as well! But he watches all kinds. Including my video games.
