Hi, Pasterns: At what age would you give up on having them come up? ( assuming supplements etc have been given ) Ears: same question Megaesophagus: at what age has this become completely evident? What have you done that helps them? Still born pups: swing them? rub them? both? immerse in water and massage the heart? puppy CPR? What has worked? Fading puppies: ( break my heart) What do you do? Bitches in Whelp: Amoxicillin? When? How much? Or?? Thank you so very very much for answering these questions....more to follow if you don't mind! Here's my wish for 2006....may all your breeding programs have sweet and healthy babies with outstanding perfect temperaments and may all the pups be treasured and cherished. I have appreciated my time on this list....I have made friends, developed enemies, and found out that people I thought were friends are truly not, but also found that my true friends are still there. I have found that some will "shelter" abusers (gotta' make you think about the protectors of that sort of scum ! ) , I have gained hordes of first hand knowledge from "old timers" * bowing down and thanking you from my heart, I sooo appreciate it! * , Thank you Adims for allowing me the space to bitch and not booting me! The job you do is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!! Colleen Donnelly GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG BREED BETTERMENT REGISTRY "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a point when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor polite, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells him or her that it is right." ..Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr. --------------------------------- Find your next car at Yahoo!
