A dog is for life not....or am I old fashioned??

[Rabbiting man 1,192]

The internet is to blame for a lot of dogs being passed on or dumped, folk always wanting some kind of super dog like they hear about on the boards ( which is mostly bullshit), not everyone can have the best dog in the world, better than everyone elses. It just doesn't work like that.

That true it is their repository how they train their own dogs every dog as a fault some way or another did we have a post whats makes a good dog man not long ago for the ones that passed on a dog cuz it was no good never looked at the current breeding properly or themselves they not tools thery are loyal friend your companion ect that as put all them years of work for you so when it get old you get rid to me you not dogmen/woman so yes a dog is for life I keep mine no matter what faults they have the only time I let a dog go is if it as one of my kids

got a 6 year old bitch here, ive had some crackin times with her, but ive retired her due to health reasons, some of her catches have taken my breath away, and ive been at it for 50 odd years, get rid, never, she stays put till the very end

I have an eight year old kelpie bitch who doesn't like my three year old son. There's never been any outright aggression but she avoids him at all costs. I tried to rehome her but, understandably, nobody wants an old kelpie who doesn't like other people or dogs. As a result, she's currently still with me while I wait for the right person to come along and she doesn't have any contact with my son.

 

If I rehome her then some will say, "a dog's for life..." but if I keep her and something accidently happens then the same people will say, "should've got rid."

 

Sometimes you loose and sometimes you don't win.

 

I hasten to add that this isn't a free advert as a friend from kelpie rescue is already helping me out.

That is a very understandable reason to not keep a dog. Good luck finding a good home for the dog.

Though thats the point 3T, 'if your re-homing, then 'your' responsible!' And if you've got anything about you, then you seek a home that will stand that dog in good stead for the rest of its life... If not, the do the 'decent thing', because, for the rest of its life.... I couldn't have that on my concience..!

I know what your saying Neal but if the dog were mine i'd pts, the dog has an underlying problem and you may control it but whos to say the next owner will be so vigilant...........
