coneye

Not good is it , my opinion its all about money , Think i've told the story before on here , but the dog i presently own , i bought from there 8 years ago , Now in them days you could walk in have a walk around and pick a dog , So i actually went in one day walked around and seen a bull mastiff i liked , I went home next day , casually said to the wife , lets go to the dogs home , where i was casually going to walk around be suprised to see a bull mastiff in there , take a shine to it and take it home , Not wanting to be too obvious because she did'nt really want a dog , i walked the long way around the kennels , then i seen this little white fluffy thing with a cone on his neck , stopped to pat him , and he picked me out , i asked about him and they said theres a hold on him but the next day if he is not took a could have hime , i immedietly went in put a second hold on him price was $350 , next day never heard , day after i rang up to see if he had gone , , i was informed the person did'nt want him , so come and get him , i went there straight away , wife was overjoyed and so was I , . done all the paper work got out my $350 and was informed no he's $450 , i asked why the increase , and was told we can sell little cute dogs like him all day so he's dearer than all the others , i just paid it Now jump forward a couple months , and i was on the river , in my boat 300 klm from home , i'm playing with him on the bank , and heres a woman shout is that Oliver , i look up says yes , she says did you get him from the pound i said yes , , and he's mine now , no way was i giving him up , she comes over and pats him , says what a cutie he was , and tells me the story about her daughters freind worked there , knew she wanted a little dog like that , and had shown her a picture , and offered her the dog for , $600 , TIME TO PAY UP SHE DECIDED SHE COULD'NT AFORD HIM and hence why i got him , so much for dogs welfare , the staff were selling him and making money , but hows that ,300 klm from my home and the shelter , in a little country town . , Also remember about 35 years ago same place , i rang every single day looking for Zac my boxer who had got out jumped the fence , each day i was told sorry no boxers have been in here for months , don't know what made me do it , just intuition but i drove around there affter about 5-6 days , was walking through looking in the kennels , and i seen him there ,the kennel had a hold sign on him , he was due to be sold the next day the 7 days or so was up , and guess who was taking him , the staff member who answered the phones , i carried on like a pork chop so much they just returned him free of charge , i had the prove he was mine , (tattood ) Zac was a absolute perfect specemin off a boxer , i was convinced he would off been in the paper and sold privatly soon after if i had not of gone there.

Had a few dealings with the RSPCA and everyone of them unpleasant , have purchased over the last 40 or so years 4 dogs off them including the present one , but now i would never go near the place again , the one close to my home has far has i'm concerned is nothing more than a boarding kennels , run with cheap labor (volunteers ) and houses a few strays to qualify for the govt money ,

Whats the name of the breeder what dogs , do they breed , sounds like a good breeder to me , sounds like this dog may be a very gentle dog , and perhaps your house is too loud and robust for the dog , and it gets scared , breeder is doing right by the dog , WHY would a good breeder want to send his/her pups into a scary enviroment , regardles off why its scared

Think you could add too that , Rottweilers , german shepards , all mastiff type dogs , and while were at it never met a chiwawa that was'nt a nasty viscous little brute , remember when i was a kid , neighbor had a corgi that used to chase all us kids up the street biting our ankles , so throw them in has well

Strange , raise your voice in my house our little dog takes himself outside , drop a cup any sudden loud noise , and he's off , he's a very quiet dog who loves calm , yet i love to sit outside on the balcony every time theres a storm , and being by the sea we have lots of them each year , , he just comes and lies on my lap watching the lighting listening to the thunder , and he'll just nod off absolutly does'nt faze him one bit

Whats littermate syndrome , what i have read is two pups , two owners , same houshold , dogs get on well and play , dogs have each bonded with there own owners , just like you would hope , whats the problem at the moment , i can see two future problems maybee , but maybee not only time will tell . problem 1 ---- males they may fight when older problem 2---- if houshold splits up , one misses the other . Other than that whats the problem

Personaly , reading botrh sides here , i think i would say no way she getting the dog back , its not going to live a good life , lady thinks she bought a toy , probably after recieving nasty messages , i would say no way she's getting her full amount either , i'd probably advertize good home wanted , sell her to someone for whatever i could get and thats all i would refund , i would state the dog was older people were not willing to pay the same has they will a pup . Then i would recieve more messages and think , get a grip of yourself , this woman sounds like a neurotic nutcase letter writer on a mission , and just give her a refund tell her to go away and witch hunt someone else , because she said herself she's on disability with major depresion , the lady sounds bored and causing problems is her outlet , Naaw give the nutter her money back tell all the other breeders you know to be wary , the vet said the dog was fine , its a chiwa wa if it had not eaten for a couple weeks it would be dead , it obviously ate a bit of something , just not enough for her , Give the money back , and hope you get rid of the problem , although i sence until she finds someone else to harrass its not going away ,

Unfortunatly your never going to stop it , , i own a small dog thats timid , and watch him like a hawk always on the leash when theres other dogs on the dog beach , and i'm constantly shouting get your dog mate , when he's approached which is all the time ,, But prior to him i owned a massive and i mean MASSIVE rotty , that was quite freindly with well mannered dogs , but very unfreindly with ill mannered dogs he would not tolerate them , because of this he was ALWAYS on leash unless dog beach was empty . . With the little one , people don't care they let there aggressive dog run up and intimidate mine , yet with the rotty they always seemed to control theres and put them on leash to stop them coming up , over the years did have a few who did'nt , but i would just shout get your dog mate or i'll let him go , that usually fixed it , sad but true , people just don't care

i can tell you the best ever dog , loyal and easy to train , Springer Spaniel ,,,, Boxers ,,, English staffy ,,,, german shepard , rottweilers ,,, blue heeler little mongrel cross shitzu , maybee maltese with a definet bit of westy in there . Each and every one of them has been loyal easy to train and well behaved , there dogs and they mould to your personality

Instead of shooing it ,, call it over with a buiscuit , when it gets used to you , pick it up , put it in the car , take it to the council offices , tie it to a post outside with a note on its neck , FREE to good home

Hard one is'nt it , If i was an aboriginal living in the bush trying to kep the traditions and ways of my forefathers , along with the dream time and all the other stuff , Think then i would hate to see the dingo , shot , culled , got rid of in any way shape or form But if i was a farmer , with 10 000 head of sheep and my whole familly's future and livelihood tied up in it , and was reguly losing sheep to dingos i think i'd want them , shot caught moved areas , whatever has long has they stopped killing my sheep . Suppose if i was in my 4 wheel drive going out where the dingos lived , i would'nt be stupid enough to allow my pet or child wonder off So the top two have both got a point the 3rd one is just an idiot who should have no say . But the fourth one , groups who recieve govt money from which the farmer's tax pays for , should just keep there nose out

Did these people have to study at uni long to be able to state the obvious

Did'nt read it , They could of saved heaps of money and just asked what i' and millions of other older dog lovers already knew , Labs are greedy buggers who will eat till they gorge , I can also tell them for nothing . so will my little bitza dog , and feed him the recomended amount once a day say night time , next morning he's looking for food and throwing up white bile , , so he has to have 2 meals a day to stop that , lately because were home more in the colder weather its split into 3 meals , 6am 100 grams ----12-1 pm 100 gms ------ then around 7 pm the last 100 grams , heh presto , no bile , , he's never looking for food anymore , and happy and healthy , There ya go and that info did'nt even have to be funded , ,, can't help but wonder how much it cost for them to state the obvious , labs are a greedy dog I'm basing that on owning a few , plus being brought up with my grandfathers labs , cannot ever remember him not having one , every single one of them called prince has well LOL

Sorry he got caught he means ,, The dog meant a lot to him , Yeh sure did , bet he was thinking about it a lot while he was running away , I'd give him 6 months in the big house to get over his depresion and anxiety , along with a video of the dog being destroyed , he could watch it to cheer himself up ,

Think you done the right thing , it could off worked out OK then again it could of been 15 years of problems and heartache , personaly i would'nt buy that grief
