Flea's

No not me!
A bit more advice please, should we follow what was used by the breeder or is it ok to use any flea treatments that are available?
Also would you advise A collar, sprays, ointments etc.

We have often used the collars in the past, they are good at keeping the ticks from them as well,... but they are starting to get expensive, although I still think they are one of the best ways of dealing with the little beasties.

Be interested in others views on this one

I've always used Stronghold on mine, but as far as I know it's useless for teaks. Frontline doesn't stop teaks biting your dog, but it kills them if they do.
