fat man 4,741 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 When a terrier dog or bitch is finished its diging career do ye diging lads let it live out its life in kennel or do ye pts to make room for young stock. Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 All my dogs live out their retirement in the kennels, terriers/lurcher/shepherd, aslong as they are healthy and happy they stay here.......... Quote Link to post
madgerboy 11 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hard to put a good dog down if your lucky enough to have a friend who lives on a farm or out in country like I have then that's great for the old dog that's never let ye down.pts is always a last option but sometimes neccessary in order to make room for future generations.

blackpack 70 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 if the dog has served its life working then it stays unil healthy enough, if the dog can still go out for walks, eat etc, then it stays, no way would i pts a grand terrier Quote Link to post
Guest AngelicAcid Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Blind and deaf, still be a lot happier than some of us. A bit respect i think, after all those years you should of built up a great friendship with the dog as well, would you not want and try to stay a part of that dogs life, one that would do its all for you, BEST FRIENDS. Theres always ways around things, saying no room or make space, load of shit. MORE LIKE NOT BOTHERED. 2 Quote Link to post
