Dogs Swapping Hands

[desertbred 5,490]

Pity dogs cant change their owners the orphanages would be full of failed slippers

[Themoocher 231]

On serious note ......................... I bond with my dogs and take Immense pleasure and pride when as pups they reach those all important milestones . Molding a dog to what you can and want to do is an amazing thing that may even evolve with your change in direction, is there enough money to buy that ?..............................Is there Fork.

 

LEGEND ................I'll take a realitively unknown prospect any day

It's not all about money thou.

I know a few guys with dogs that do they're job what they were bred for with the best of them.

They ain't on computers and legends.

But if you only have three kennels you will have a lot of dead wood in kennels for while if you don't give them to someone who doesn't work them as much or pet home [ odd run on sat morning ].

I know genuine guys that what take a penny for a dog when the dogs done it will go to pet home.

[Phil Lloyd 10,738]

Why is it that most of the best dogs there has been have all had about 5 owners. From the coursing side to the bull xs. You always hear about different people owning them and someone else had it for a few month etc. seems the top dogs have all had there fair share of owners. Why is this if anyone can explain? Cheers

 

Performance type canines,.be they 'match dogs, battle dogs, racers or critters with a penchant for pursuing and killing a prey, that bites back',..have often been sold on,...generally to like minded enthusiasts, who wish to enjoy and experience the thrills that such beasts provide.

retire it in home and only get a new pup every 4 years problem solved

[socks 32,253]

When I was racing greyhounds I had two dogs in at the same time that were both open class ... Had won some good competitions and were track record holders at different distances ... I was offered silly money for both these dogs ... But I wouldn't sell for a few reasons ... They had a good happy home ... They were fed the best food ... Given the best treatment they needed and were trained hard to reach their full potential ... I can honestly say that I didn't think they would get the same level of care and attention with somebody that was only in the game for the money ... I was convinced the feeding and training would be of a lower standard resulting in the dogs loosing half a second and not winning what the fella wanted which means they would be sold on for the same to happen again etc etc .... I was never into the greyhounds for the money although they did line my pockets nicely I was in the game for the challenge and the love of watching what you had nurtured being on top of their game ... The fame and legend status is a sad sad thing in the dog world and the dogs would be far better off without it .......

That's good idea on paper.

If only it was as easy as that.

it is

[philstory 83]

After all the time and effort put into rearing a pup up to get it working i don't understand how people can pass on there dogs on from pillar to post.

[paulus 26]

you can buy the best gun in the world but unless you know how to use and look after it correctly it will end up being sold as substandard and another wonder gun brought. no different with dogs, strange how the same people always have better dogs

I understand your point and think gifting dogs to the right people is a great idea.

 

Some dogs are worthy a long retirement in your own care

[dai dogs 1,606]

Some bull types get passed on because they are to much of a dog for the young owners,

Who have no idea how to handle such a cross.

[Ideation 8,216]

I think what this op is getting at is when you see discussions on here about x line of bull x, and one of the original dogs in the line comes up, it always seems like they have had a fair number of owners, and folk chip in all the time seeing they saw the dog when so and so had it etc.

[morton 5,368]

You may have the greatest affinity and love of a mutt,a fat fist of folding stuff will test the more resolute resolve,especially when another lump is thrown in as a persuader.Money means feck all to some,others it may be a necessary evil.I turned down decent money for a couple of dogs,the dogs soon went missing,id possibly do the same again,more secure now,yet a fistful of bill paying,shopping buying,holiday taking Wonga would come in handy.The dross I have now would,nt pay for a £9.50 Sun special at skeggy or a couple of gallons of rust tub juice.

[Wales1234 5,546]

Had my old bitch because a friend was getting out of the game as didnt have the time and needed to keep a roof over his family's head ! And she will not leave my kennels for no money offered !! Im a young lad and think I handle this bitch pretty well not all youngsters are idiots

Well said. Sometimes a change is good for the dog too. When dogs are not good for what they were bred for they are best pts imo but sometimes a good dog can change hands for the better.
