Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in Malaysia, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Kurtzlim — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:51:54 +0800

We have been involved in Cavalier King Charles Spaniel since 1996 when we bought our first cavalier from England. Over the years, we have owned and exhibited some of the top winning cavaliers in Malaysia, including Top Toy 2000. We only breed selectively when we are looking for new show potential puppies or when we have good stocks from Australia.

At Lacavara, we strive to breed and raise quality puppies with sound temperament, correct conformation and who are true to the cavalier type. Our originally breeding program has been based on the world renowned LECHEVALIER (Australia) line which we have, continually imported stocks throughout the years. With a later infusion of other great kennels in Australia, stocks were also imported from EIREANNMADA and CAVASHON in recent years.

Occasionally, we may have puppies or young adults available for selected loving homes.

Zebra Dove, Need Help

Neshimaru — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:47:13 +0800

I have a pet Zebra Dove at home and it seems pretty lonely too me. I am thinking of getting a friend for him/her. Thing is I don't really know where to buy a Zebra Dove. This pet of ours were actually given to us by the previous house owner who doesn't want it anymore so we adopted it as a family member.

Here's the question:

1. Where can I find a pet shop that sells Zebra Dove in Klang Valley area? (I stay in Subang)
2. What is the price range for one Zebra Dove?
3. Is there any way that I can tell the different sexes?

Many thanks for all your help!

LEOPARD GECKO (VERSION III), All about Leopard Geckos & More ...

echosmiles — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:22:05 +0800

LYN LG Thread Version 3 - Welcome!

LEOPARD GECKO

The leopard gecko, (Eublepharis macularius), is one of the most commonly kept lizards today. These hardy saurians come in a variety of colors, patterns and sizes. They are a great species for an indoor home pet. Unlike other geckos, Leopard Gecko DOES NOT stick on walls, does not sprint off like lightning when we approach the,, they are not aggressive by nature, they have EYE-LIDS which makes them very cool looking and they do have that irresistible smiling look on their faces. Below are some basic information about Leopard Gecko and Link for you to do some intensive further research if you need.

Size
Leopard Gecko are hatched at around 3-4 inches long and on average as an adult they would measure around 8-10 inches.

Life Span
Leopard Gecko can live up to 25 years and some has recorded longer in captivity.

Housing
Leopard Geckos are really easy to care for. Unlike other reptiles Leopard Gecko does not necessary need a very large space to live. They would thrive very well in a 10 gallon tank. The setup is relatively simple.

1. Water Bowl
2. Dish Bowl
3. Calcium Dish Bowl
4. Hide Box
5. Moist Box

Example of a setup:

*Image courtesy from TGS.

Diet
We commonly feed our Leopard Geckos with either MEALWORMS, CRICKETS or SUPERWORMS. It is advisable to gutload your feeder insects before feeding it to your Leopard Gecko. These insects are also dusted with calcium powder + D3 and multi-vitamin between the interval of 2-3 days. It is essential to provide them with Calcium, Vitamin D3, Multi-vitamins in order to keep them at their healthiest form.

Mealworms, Crickets and Superworms

Lighting & Temperature
We are blessed here in Malaysia that we are not a cold country, on the other note, Leopard Geckos DO NOT need any form of heating source. Unlike other reptiles, they do need their warm basking spot. Reason to this, other reptiles depend on heat to digest their food. Leopard Gecko do not need those heating lamps or any form of heater (unless they are it a fully air conditioned environment most of the time).

Leopard Geckos are nocturnal creatures. They are slightly more active during the night compared to the day.

Handling and Temperament
Leopard Geckos are easy to handle, most of them would just lay on the palm of your hands when u hold them, a small bunch of them will wiggle for an escape. But given time, most of the Leopard Geckos will get use to our way of handling. Listening from the many experience and adventure of Leopard Gecko owners, these amazing lizards has been giving us an endless share of fun watching them grow into their personality.

MORPHS & GENETICS

Here is the unique part about Leopard Geckos. They comes in a variety of morphs (meaning coloration, patterns, designs and sizes). How the morphs are determined are based from the genetics that was used to make it. Below are some of the interesting morphs around that you could find today within our Malaysian community.

Separation Anxiety?,

Corrupted Spirits — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:31:02 +0800

Continue from

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...=king+schnauzer

At last I finally decided to take in the puppy and the puppy is now in it's 4th day with me.

What I'm worried about is when at night time,I put her in the crate and later she'll starts to bark,howling and crying.The crate is in my bedroom.From what I've read online about crate training,most people suggested that I ignore her pleas and she should calm down in 30 minutes but for my case,it drags on for hours until I couldn't take it anymore(I'm in landed property house now) and when I release her from her crate,she'll just go beside me and sleep.I've tried playing songs(suggested online) when she barks,howling and etc but she still did not stop.

The puppy is now 2 months old.Is it too early or is the problem might lies to that I did not introduce the crate to her properly?

And if she suffers from separation anxiety,what should I do?

Performing a charity concert in aid of the rescued, safe 240 dogs

jo731 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:59:36 +0800

Dear Friend

We are 2 of many individual rescuers who rescue stray animals. We started with 1 animal and then 2 and then more and more and then.....out of control.The number has now ballooned to 240 dogs and cats.We are now facing SPACE constraints, MONEY constraints,LABOUR constaints, etc.Neverthelessm we are still taking as we cannot stand to see them walking the streets and running the risk od being cruelly treated/inhumanely caught by dog catchers.Most important,we want to work with other genuine rescuers and animal lovers, and in our small way try to reduce the stray problem.

It is our fervent wish to have a piece of land to start a no-kill shelter to house the strays and provide them a safe refuge. We want this to be a place where people and animal can interact with the eventuality of the animals being adopted. This requires financial means and resources as the animal have to vaccinated, neutered and fed

Mrs Kam, without hesitation, offered to start the ball rolling by holding a charity concert in aid of these stray animals. Mrs Kam herself is a rescuer and she understands our plight.

1.We need a piece of land to start the shelter and we are willing to pay reasonable rental for it.

2.So buy tickets and come for the Operafest Children Choir concert on 20 Dec 2009 each ticket cost RM30. Please Sponsor generously to help us help the strays.

There are many other pet shops in old town KL and Klang Valley and sattelite towns, only that you need to ask around and look fer it

The shops may look old but they ahd been operating since as long as 25 years ago

They dont need to pay high rent, most of the shop lots are now theirs and...

Prices and varieties of pets foods and accesories are surprisingly cheaper than that available in the shop outlets called 'Pets Wonderland'

DO YOUR RESEARCH ! It may save your pocket!

[WTA]Why is poodle sold so expensive nowadays?,

nghonyuen — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:52:18 +0800

Hi,

I'm currently a golden retriever owner. As a owner of this medium to large breed, i understand golden retriever eats a lot.
If a golden retriever is sold at around 2 - 3k (with mka), i'm not surprise at all.

Recently i am looking for a poodle for my wife and found that nowadays a 'normal' (not from champion or show line) poodle also cost that much.
Is there any reason behind that?

Many thanks for your reply.

Good Home Guard Dog, Looking for Further Advices

agnenick — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:10:04 +0800

Hi to all the experienced dog owners!
I have tendency of keeping a good home guard dog. I currently have a GR, as everyone knows it is too friendly. Therefore, I decided to have another dog to guard my house and meantime as GR companion (so that it wont feel alone). I read through the previous topic of keeping Rottweiler, German Sherperd, Mastiff etc.

I tried to keep a Rottweiler before( pinjam from dog seller for about two weeks). Wow! the body odour very stink!! It loved to pee and shit everyway. Really had hard time cleaning up. Furthermore, it was hyper active and mastered in destroyed things (my poor plants and garden statues..). To me, it does not like GR, easier to train and disciplin...(forgive me if I am wrong ya)

I really need help. Anyone out there could possibly to give comment and suggestions?

TQ

[WTA] Methods of spaying your dog,

babymiki — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:02:18 +0800

Hi All,

Went to the vet today and was told there's actually two method of spaying.

1st - remove only the euterus and the female dog will still be on heat.

2nd - remove the ovary and this way is more effective.

Can anyone clarify is this true? She even showed me pictures of dogs which she have operated previously, where the euterus was swollen.

and there's 2 ways of operating as well

1st - uses anesthetic

2nd - uses oxygen

She adviced that second method is more expensive and safer.
