BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 so nearly could be contributing to this thread.....and am so very thankful ive got my dog still here.... think if id have lost here a few weeks back.... it would have broken me. i really feel for you guys Nah mate...you're made of sterner stuff...what you've been through in the past few weeks would be tougher than any of the canine tragedies I've had to cope with...you'da picked yourself up along with the pieces and coped with it. I lost a really talented greyhound bitch just the week before Xmas...shattered a foreleg in action...totally horrific...felt numb and physically sick...first thought was to deal with the situation as quickly and humanely as possible...and there was certainly a cloud over the festivities in our house...that lifts though and things get back to normal... Your situation with your wee bitch is one I would have struggled with more and probably one I wouldn't have had the balls for...you're having to deal with that every day...and it could feasibly be something you'll have to consider every day for the rest of the wee dog's life... That's a truly demanding situation... All the best...Colin. 3 Quote Link to post

C Hall 552 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Working dogs put there lives on the line every single time there worked and some do pay the ultimate price. Sadly its usually the ones that are good or showing lots of potential Quote Link to post

Early riser 22 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I've only been in the game for 20 years but in my experience I've seen more deaths in bull xs than any other breed through one way or an other. Doesn't matter what breed it is though it still cuts you to the bone when it happens. 1 Quote Link to post
