Rebanne

oh yeah but I just used vet wrap on the back legs, that was enough for my GSD to notice. I also used the TT body wrap and walked her around in it for a few minutes at a time. Was a long time ago.............. she would have been 20 this month!

Yes, you can. Which test are you considering? M Murves, at the end of June. Dog would be 2 and 5 days. Yippee Rebanne I am tossing up either our Whippet (Darcie) or the Sarge (Papillon) to put through our trial :laugh: Don't get too excited :laugh: I've wanted to get Fern through for the last 3 years and it hasn't happened yet due to various issues with both her and me! No issues with Warrior but me........ hmmm we will see.

I know I scattered brooms etc in a rough pile (like pick up sticks) and walked the dog over them. As they were random the dog really had to think. Think I got this trick from Morgan Spectors clicker training book.

Parti colour, all my boys (4 greyhounds) have been parti colour. My girl is red though. The darker the better when I had GSD's.

Thanks for the results Sway, nice to keep in touch with the results from long distance :laugh:

can you enter an ET with a dog who will be 2 on the day of the test but won't be 2 when entries close?

Well with GSD's I was always aware on how other people thought about them. Plus my daughter had a friend who was terrifed of dogs and no way was I going to risk a false accusation. If the dogs were locked up they couldn't be blamed for scaring her or knocking her over. Parents freaked cause I let an 8 week old puppy run around in the same room as the kids and I.

I was locking my dogs up long before I found DOL. I had GSD and no way were they going to be put at risk because my child and friends wanted to play. Poor little boy, hope he recovers well.

My dogs took no notice of the official fireworks. But Fern was mildly disturbed by the illegal ones going off occasionally. Just random bangs, very loud, that sounded like they were going off in the backyard!

no he can have a bit of "mush" now. But it could have been the heat.

Where, I just looked back to page 23 and can't see it. What tdierikx actually said is very different to Because I was quoted and told not to bring that AR shit here. She actually was quite polite about it. yeah but it sounds better Greylvr's way :rofl:

OP has already said the rspca have told them the dogs have been adopted. Thank you. I missed that. You weren't the only one.

But I never said that what I said was twisted into it. I said people may want to adopt because if they dont that dog will die it was twisted to say if you buy a dog from a breeder a shelter dog dies I NEVER said that. See so there were no AR rubbish coming from any one until someone tool something and twisted it into AR rubbish. still trying to guilt people into buying a dog that may not be suitable for them No I dont tell people that lol I am saying SOME PEOPLE MAY WANT TO ON THEIR OWN FREE WILL are you guys really this thick or are you jsut trying to entertain yourself tonight by picking fights? Lots of people know that dogs in shelters dont find homes and get put to sleep so they choose to adopt how is that wrong? Just like lots of people want a papered purebred dog and buy from a breeder people will do what they want to do. Your not going to convince someone who wants a pedigreed dog to adopt no matter how much your pour on the guilt, just like some people hate breeders and wont ever buy a dog from one no matter how much you explain or educate about breeders. Everyone has a right to get their dogs from where they feel comfortable. funny how you adopt from a pound/shelter but buy from a breeder. It's one and the same thing, choosing a dog and paying for it.

I could understand if you had a bad reputation (google is wondrous!) and/or were not a current financial member of your dog controlling body of your state. Not saying any of those apply to you- sometimes breeders only can go by their 'gut' feelings- or all maybe good but the breeder is wanting to keep the pick bitch for themselves. In my last litter I wouldn't sell a bitch puppy to someone cause they already had a bitch(desexed). Fairly new dog owners but I did sell let them adopt a male. yep, can understand- bitches can certainly get nasty with each other- this wasn't just about the sex though- it was about also being on the main register I was talking about main register dogs. ah okay. I was lucky enough to have been introduced to pedigree dogs by my mother who taught me a lot that I might not have normally known. I always find it strange that main register entire dogs (and bitches) are offered to people who have no interest in showing or other ANKC events. To me it seems a bit of a waste or an excellent opportunity for the unscrupulous buyer - who can then advertise litters with a 'main pedigree parent'. I've seen enough of your posts though, to know you'd never sell knowingly to such a person. My point to Joany was that breeders may have very good reason- as you did. (: Thank you :) The dog was shown and titled by his new owner.

That's what I remember reading before the original post was edited. My take on it as well but was hoping they give the breeder a chance to step up.

Linkie?

yep fingers crossed.

really

well here's hoping the rescue keeps trying the breeder, you've only had him a few hours.

This is a bit of a snide remark and uncalled for. People are people and make mistakes.
