These happened before 9am this morning!!!! - Page 5

I just want to add, that I know there are a LOT of breeders that shouldn't be breeding.  ie....not taking back unwanted dogs, etc.  And I know there are a lot of people who should NOT be buying these dogs to begin with.  And this is just so sad.  I again, thank and bless you Steph for all you do. 

BUT..........I also know that there a ton of us crazy dog people too, who rearrange our lives for our dogs !  We change vehicles 3 times to accommodate our dogs' needs.  I finally ended up with a minivan so my previous dogs who had knee and hip surgeries could get in better.  God knows, a minivan was the last vehicle on my list of wants!!  Thats for "soccer moms!!""  But, I'm a dog mom, I guess!  When it was time for new carpeting in my house, guess what?  I shopped for a color that matched the dog hair!!  (didn't work though........)  I rearranged my schedules so that I could give medication to my previous epileptic dog and found family members to come do it when I absolutely couldn't.  My vacations revolve around dog shows.  Out of town relatives ask if I will come visit.  I look to she if there is a trial in that town at the time!!  When shopping for clothes, I am constantly wondering if that outfit would go good with my dog in the ring.  Today I drove WAY out of my way to buy my specific brand of dog food, because my store (which is a ways away too) was out............The list goes on and on.   I just wish there were more people like me and all of my dog club friends.  Or, just don't buy the darn dog to begin with.  What are they  thinking?...................

Thanks for letting me ramble..............

Not surprised: the owner of Valiantdale does Schutzhund with her dogs. You may have a pretty decent dog there. She started out in the 60's with Longworth, Cosalta, Busecker Schloss and Lierberg lines, and has chosen her lines very carefully ever since, avoiding anything to do with Lance and his progeny.

The website also gives more up to date pedigrees than what is on the database here, so get the owner to check there for names.

I hear your frustration, Steph. I'm sorry. I wish I could do more to help.
