Chances of Me Getting a Free dog?

[ruthi 0]

I do understand as I've just got a lovely pet cocker for free who hasn't been trained as a gundog, so I'm putting in the work and time to do this. But this was all because the owner believed he had too much energy, didn't know what to do with him and his destructive tendencies, so donated him to a home where she knew his energy would go where it should. They do come along sometimes, but you have to be prepared to wait, and be VERY careful what you're getting.

 

There is a gundog rescue in Northallerton who rehome working dogs too - not sure what they charge but they are very upfront and honest about whether the dog is gunshy, etc, which a pet owner/other working owner may not be/may not know. You take much less of a risk going down this route.

 

You just take such a risk getting a dog for free so you need to be prepared to put in an awful lot of hard work and training. But if you give a good home, which is what the present owner cannot give for whatever reason, why not?

Thankyou,I agree.

Our last dog we got for free was very exciteable you could say too D:

But the owner failed to tell us about the medical conditions.

Thankyou for basically answering my question,unlike those people who come on here to have a go.

All the best to you with your dog.

My mum has worked them for 25-30 years and I intend to work it.

And also I can afford it but if it's free then why not.

 

Why can't your own mother give you of hers seeing as she has worked them for so long?

What do you mean?

Why can't my mum give me one of hers?

If that is,i'm 14,i live with my mum and we don't have one atm.

So if you read rest you would probably know she doesn't have one.

If we had one I wouldn't be looking to get one.

We only have a collie atm and we aren't gonna go shooting with that

Save up mate. Money earned is a lot more satisfying in my oppion. I'm 20 and live at home and my old chap wont let me get another dog at the moment. So it means i have time to save and really have a good think about which dog i want.
