I let my mate who I do most of my dog work with look after and walk my bitch while I am working away, If something happened to any of his dogs I would be more than happy for him to take my dogs as he is of the same mind set as me and has a sensible head on his shoulders and shares the same standards and morals as me. I trust him 100%, I don't think the bond will be any less with me, she knows who the gaffer is.
