smiles40 24 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 in my eyes if it was a real good dog your keep it till it died but if it was a average do ya get rid of it when its past its sellbuy date ? thats the way to be Im affraid, A bad or retierd dog takes as much room and food as a good one, if you look on them as a pet thats diffrent all together. I understand what your saying But if this animal in question has put its back out, gave all it had Everytime you were out then it deserves to be with you until its not anymore in my opinion spot on if you kept it while it worked for you show it the same respect when its retired,my old dog was never a world beater but he gave his all every time when he could he is still here at 16 yr old,fair enough if you only keep a dog to feed your family but how many people keep a dog to feed their family ?

baldockbanks courser 598 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) what if it the owner who failed and not the dog? They're all different just like us, we all have different ways about doin stuff. The biggest majority of folk who have failed their dog, f****d it up or just spoilt it in general will still blame the dog mate. Not many will look it in the eye and admit they could have done better. Not very macho that is it - just blame the dog!!! you do chat some nonesense you, no body said anything about failed dogs, I had one bitch that I didnt part with till she died, she had something inside her that you can never teach you dont own many threw your life like that, but I like to always have at least one dog at its peak as my aim is to catch game, and to do this the kennel space needs to be made available.

And you're entitled to do things the way you see fit - I was replying to someone who mentioned owners failing dogs!!! And you'd have to be a f*****g idiot to believe that every average dog became average on its own without any input from its 'owner'?. Quote Link to post
