My nickname is “Hoss” and was given that name at birth because of how large I was compared to my littermates.

I am the first born and the last here of my litter.

My momma said “they save the best for last” and to not take it personally.

Fun fact is that I was born on 3/23/23 - which just so happened to be National Puppy Day.

I get loved on daily by littles.

I learn manners from both my mom and dad.

I love life on the farm, but I am seeking a new couch and new adventures!

His parents are AKC - dad is full registration and mom was limited registration (unintended crossing so they will not be registered)

Both parents we’re genetically tested.

Dad triple clear
Mom DM carrier (not affected) in order to get an affected pup - both parents must be carriers.

Dewclaws removed and tailed docked a few days after birth

Got the recommended vet work at 8 weeks and I have him scheduled to do the same next week when he is 12 weeks

Born 3/23/23

He is classified a dilute tri (full Pembroke Welsh Corgi)


In addition to the above genetic testing:

Dad is a dilute tri - fluffy carrier

Mom is a black tri - dilute carrier as well

For your consideration; 10 week old Pembroke Welsh Corgie, male. My nickname is “Hoss” and was given that name at birth because of how large I was compared to my littermates.

I am the first born and the last here of my litter.

My momma said “they save the best for last” and to not take it personally.

Puppy buyer: Has health testing been done?
Backyard breeder: they have their first set of shots and the vet said the parents are healthy!
Reputable breeder: yes! Here are the OFA/Pennhip results on the dam and sire. Here are the testing results for genetic diseases proving they were clear before breeding. Here are the results of cardiac testing. And here are the results of the extra testing we did according to what our kennel club requires for this breed. Oh, and here are the shot records and microchipping info of course!

Puppy buyer: Do parents have any titles?
Backyard breeder: what’s that? We don’t breed sHoW dOgS but have champion lines!!!1!1!1!1
Reputable breeder: yes! Here are (at minimum) the titles on both dam and sire that prove they have solid temperaments and are capable of being sound, solid dogs in particular areas of work (even if it’s breeding for companionship purposes only, there should be some sort of temperament related titling). Here are titles proving they are good representatives of their breed.

Puppy buyer: Are your dogs bred to the breed standard?
Backyard breeder: ???? (Likely has no clue of their breed standard, if they understand what it means to begin with)
Reputable breeder: Yes! Our dogs are bred for the physical conformation and appropriate temperament that this breed calls for.

Puppy buyer: If it doesn’t work out, can the puppy/dog be returned?
Backyard breeder: No, once you buy it it’s yours. Figure it out.
Reputable breeder: Yes! Even if it’s 10 years later. We actually REQUIRE that they be returned to us.

Puppy buyer: Do I need to fill anything out?
Backyard breeder: Nope! If you have the cash, pick a puppy.
Reputable breeder: Yes! Here is our application process. Please elaborate on what you are looking for in your new dog and what your lifestyle is like so that we can match you to the puppy that suits you best if you’re approved! There may be a wait!

Puppy buyer: If I need any advice or help, who do I talk to?
Backyard breeder: I’d likely tell you to try essential oils, or just never respond to you. Not my puppy anymore not my problem. Lose my number.
Reputable breeder: Me! I am an expert on my breed and am dedicated to being your support system throughout your dog’s whole life! Please stay in contact! I care about keeping up with the dogs I produce!

Puppy buyer: If my puppy by chance ends up with a genetic disorder, what do I do?
Backyard breeder: again, not my problem. Figure it out.
Reputable breeder: Contact me immediately! I will help you through every step and would be willing to refund you your puppy’s price or replace your puppy if you wish. If so, I will take the first one back and they will receive top notch care at my own expense. We do everything possible to prevent this but, although rarely, this can happen. We are prepared to assist if it does.

Puppy buyer: how are your puppies raised?
Backyard breeder: In a plastic pool pretending it’s a whelping box. They’re 6 weeks old so ready to leave, just take one.
Reputable breeder: We do puppy culture or a similar system! We begin housebreaking manners, crate training, exposure to lots of surfaces/noises/items/smells, socialization, and even learning games before puppy goes home so that they have a good head start in life and it makes it easier for you as well! We always keep them together until a minimum of 8 weeks old, if not longer.

Puppy buyer: What do your puppies cost?
Backyard breeder: $500 (Average BYB prices tend to be $300-$700).
Reputable breeder: $1500 (Average reputable breeder prices tend to be $1200-$2500).
*Although many BYBs waaay overcharge for poor quality dogs*

In a nutshell...
Backyard breeder: I am creating poor quality dogs for money. I am the reason our shelters are filled with dogs exactly like what I am producing. Supporting me is supporting sh*tty breeding practices and buying a dog that is potentially going to be a train wreck.
Reputable breeder: I am preserving my breed by producing quality dogs. I support my buyers always, and the dogs I produce are always a part of my responsibility for their lives. My dogs fit the ideal picture of their breed and you would never see them in a shelter system. Supporting me supports responsible breeding practices and the idea that dogs should be produced with quality in mind, not money.

Not every dog owner knows this! I HAD NO IDEA!!!

From a vet on Facebook
Announcement:
I'm with animal clients this morning. A visiting dog to the neighbours of my last client died overnight.
PLEASE do NOT give your dogs ice cubes or other frozen items in the heat to cool them down! Ice cubes do not cool dogs down! I post this warning more than once every summer.
Giving ice cubes to dogs in the heat has the opposite effect of cooling. The canine anterior hypothalamus is triggered to warm up the body because it recognises something icy cold has been absorbed, and subsequently the bodily temperature rises to compensate for this. In extreme heat a dogs' temperature needs to be reduced gradually.
Sadly the above is the case in the dog mentioned above, just 7 years old.
Give dogs tepid water only. Tepid water soaked towels rubbed into the dogs fur close to the skin to wick away heat from the body will keep them cool, especially under forelegs (armpits) and pads. NOT ICE CUBES

UPDATE:: unfortunately the seizures did not end up stopping like we thought they had. And on day thirty after this medication was given- we had to let Blayz go to the rainbow bridge😭💔

Today we got the call from our vet that Zoetis is paying for every bill inquired for Blayz as his death was 100% linked to the medicine.

We shared all his records with them in hopes that it helps save other animals.

They also HAVE to report this to the FDA as a death linked to the med.

Hug your fur babies extra tight— and do something cool for animals to carry on Blayz 🐾 🌈

DO NOT USE THIS MEDICINE!!!

Blayz (and Banner) have taken nexguard and heartguard for years. Never having any issue. Yesterday our vet told me they had a new medicine that had all the same things combined. (Same class of drugs different actual drugs)
Blayz had his 1 tablet - and 5 hours later was puking and had his first seizure.
After being extremely lethargic and stumbling around - he laid on the couch (with people trading out to snuggle him of course) for several hours
People came over to our house- Blayz didn’t even get up when they came in (if you know Blayz you know he’s our “guard dog” you can’t even pull in the driveway without him sounding the alarm!). He did eventually get off the couch and stumbled around a bit before laying on the floor again.
At bedtime he walked out in the front yard to take care of business 🚽 and then walked up to bed and went to sleep.
At 430 this morning I was woken up- Blayz was having another seizure!
We got him through it- comforted him and monitored very closely until we could reach our vet.

After a day of IV fluids - we is back to himself. Seizure free for the day 🙏🏽 and balance appears to be back on track. I went to pick him up- and found ANOTHER lady was in there with her golden retriever - who had just had the same exact thing happen!
It’s also out there that apparently it’s not so “uncommon”, these dogs have never had seizures or neurological issues before, and Nexguard which has similar components never caused a seizure for our boys.

Do your own research-
Trust your gut instinct-
And speak up when something isn’t right.

The company immediately told the vet they would be paying for all of our bills and reimbursing us for our purchase of the drug.

But people need to know this is happening.

Also adding— that in my research I have also found that it has been causing seizures and neurological issues a few months into use too rather than first dose. Needless to say we will NOT be supporting this company any further.
