    Just an Update the vet scratched the Skin today and looked under the microscope and the demodex mites he found were all dead. They also talked about ivomec if it doesn't clear up but said "when we prescribe ivomec we're already half way to a jail sentence" since like you said it's not allowed for dogs in Germany. I didn't know it was such a big deal but hopefully it will all be cleared up soon now that the mites are dead.

    I have seen both as well. I think most of the dogs I've seen (I was training in holland in knpv) were working cause they love to work, but they are good at their particular job because they have been taught from an early age (you pick up your prospect at 6 weeks) that making mistakes isn't an option. I don't know how other dog sports are but in knpv you are training your dog with the help of the club, so the dog is used to being handled by different people from a young age. Usually when he passes his test he is already reserved by the police pending the passed exam. I don't know if you'

    As far as keeping/ breeding him- I wouldn't breed off of him nor do I know if he's even any good he's a 4 month old pup. I will however keep him and get him healthy again and Hope that this is just a "Puppy Demodex" as the vet called it. I think a lot of people are too quick to give up on a dog. I bought him to be my working dog and I think a working dog deserves good care and not being tossed out at the first inconvenience. Why else should he want to work for you? My background is in working shepherds training Belgian and Dutch shepherds and I can tell you all the guys who care really we

    I've been to the vet again today with my girlfriend to translate. The vet wants to try the advocate first and give it a week and if that doesn't work ivermectin as a last resort. Luckily I've found a really good vet here who's not out to get rich. She had the advocate on hand as a sample which she gave me for free and she gave me a skin antibiotic and the visit for 28 euros.

    Had a brindle German bred mini but I think he may have been mentally ill. He was really dog aggressive, when he saw a dog he tried to bite and hold the neck of the dog no matter how big. Got bit by a huge Dutch shepherd that realized he wasn't right and was laying on his back wagging his tail as fast as he could. We pulled them apart and all he wanted was to go back towards this dog that obviously would have killed him. He was big for a mini I think 15" and 35 pounds. With people he was real nice but he couldn't deal with the environment. He was scared of every noise and any movement outside u

    I've used the search function and turned up a few results but I just want to make sure. I've got a 4 mo old pat pup here who is loosing all his hair. Been to the vets last Wednesday and it they think it's demodex and gave me a pill of simparica and said wait four weeks. Since last wednesday he's lost a bunch more hair and scratched his head bloody. I'll be back to the vets tomorrow but I would like to get her to give me some ivermectin. I'm from the states and you can just buy it there at a feed store and we used to use it as a heart worm prophylactic, but now I'm living in Germany and they ke
