dodger 2,765 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 dodger go and get that pup back,and give it the chance it deserves, if it was me i wouldnt hesitate, no need for neglect really gets my back up.Lets hope the breeder steps up to the mark It's not always as simple as that mate Iv got 3 dogs here and for me that's dogged up plus there's no room at the inn for one more in any case, that's one of the risky things when you breed findin the right homes n what puts me off doin it again, I put everything into the dam n pups so did my part the best I could, then you just hope the pups will get looked after once they've gone to there new homes then it's a case of gettin back to normal n puttin everything into your own...if I had the kennel space n somebody wanted to return a pup they'd had off me then I wouldn't hesitate.. 4 Quote Link to post

bendrover 556 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 dodger go and get that pup back,and give it the chance it deserves, if it was me i wouldnt hesitate, no need for neglect really gets my back up.Lets hope the breeder steps up to the mark johnny , dodger very nearly didnt go through with the the mating , mostly due to the hastle of finding proper homes for any pups . his bitch has served him superbly for a full 5 working seasons . some well respected dog men have seen her have wars and win . hes as entitled to keep his line going as is anyone , but let me assure everyone , dodger will be very concerned if this is not just a bad pic . its easy for us all to say do this or that . at end of the day , whether gifted or sold . once they are away you lose your say . really hope this is a bid pic 5 Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Well said bendrover I'm sure we would all want the perfect homes and I remember speaking to Dodger and that was his main concern finding good working homes.You can give all the conditions you want but once they leave you can only hope they are looked after and given a fair chance. Hopefully all will be well for the pup. 3 Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,304 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 These big pups with a lot of bone can grow at an alarming rate,,,that's why they need the best of grub,,,in fact if feeding dry,,or part of the diet dry,,,then it's my belief ,,you need the large breed type feeds,,,rember these dogs that make 27,,, there bones are out growing there muscles,,,that's why some large breeds can have week pasterns ,,,,look at Alsatians there notorious for it...... Of course mushrooms young dog is so nice because of it's foster dad........... 3 Quote Link to post

sandymere 8,263 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 A one off pic doesn’t tell a lot. My missus took a video of our current pup at around 10 weeks and was going to put it on facebook! I said don’t as it had just been fed and the meal pushing out the ribcage in comparison to the narrow back made it look bloody awful. I said she’d get lots of stuff about it being starved etc. To make it worse the little fella was chewing on a leaf at the time lol. So one pic means nothing other than the fella would do well to be a little more careful what he posts. I’d agree that bigger pups or even little uns like mine probably don’t need the amount of protein that’s supplied by puppy completes. The larger breed ones are lower protein so are perhaps a better bet although I just use an ordinary adult complete at around 24% protein with the addition of meat and bones with plenty of table scraps. 3 Quote Link to post
