Nastiest tempered dog I ever met was a Chihuahua...

That’s awesome!

After 39 years of rescue dogs then 7 months with no canine company the wife brought home her heart's desire.
Flow has grown a bit in the four weeks since she came home but she seems to think her place is curled up in front of the fire beside me.

Banana? What banana?

Good idea there... matching all your furniture/carpet to the dogs...

If only it were enough.

Got a text from the wife this morning. She and grand daughter were walking the pup on the marsh when a flock of Canada geese flew over. The pup freaked out. Terrified of the honking.
As we live on the banks of the river, we have some work to do.

Man does that poster ever ring true Baz. My older Schnauzer 'needs his space' and I've constantly got people coming up to him with their 'friendly dogs'. Good intentions, no doubt, but it creates a lot of stress. He is very territorial and when he is on his leash, his territory is wherever he happens to be.

Enjoying all the posts in this thread.

I volunteer for a Golden Retriever rescue and they needed someone to keep this 9 week Golden Doodle for the weekend after its appointment with a cardiologist since its foster lives in SD and it caught a ride to the Twin Cities with another rescue going to the same vet.

She has a heart murmur and was surrendered by the breeder, unfortunately the checkup revealed that her valves are thicker than normal so the surgery will have less chance of being the cure.

Pretty sweet pup except she would much prefer my arm or face to her chew toys- barracuda teeth on this girl!

Here's my 9-year old Schnauzer Smokey. Does my head look big in this picture? :D

Glad you can help this girl out, Rutager - good for you.

The part I bolded above is why I hate breeders!

Very irresponsible! :mad:

Thanks Baz,

I’ll at least give the breeder credit for reaching out to the rescue rather than just putting her down.

She’s coming back to town this coming week for the surgery at the U of M, unfortunately I can’t host her as I’m already watching another foster dog that week.

Why didn't the breeder make the proper arrangements for what the dog needs instead of passing her off to someone else....is my question.

The breeder is the one responsible for bringing more puppies into a world which has shelters already overflowing with puppies!

Giving the breeder credit for not euthanizing the puppy to me is not something I would do, under the circumstances.

Obviously the puppy is worth saving. The breeder's concern is making $$$ at the expense of whatever gets in the way of doing that ....and to me...that stinks!

Sorry Rutager.....not shooting at the messenger. Respect to you for doing what you can in the face of yet another case of breeder irresponsibility.....:(

Hi Baz,

No apology needed, working with this rescue, I’ve witnessed the poor terrified puppy mill dogs first hand and it makes me mad too.

Best,
Rutager
