To the person with the black lab pup
Sorry ,to post a different thread, but it is gone,BUT you should call your
breeder and see if she can help you by either giving you some training tips, telling you about the local dog club puppy classes or taking the dog back. Also go to the library and get some tapes and books to do some reading on how to bring up your pup. Is this you first dog? AND how many children do you have? As for giving up this pup and then going to a breed rescue to get an older pup... IME ,and doing rescue for a long time,the older dogs, behave like BIG PUPPIES, as most times that is why they were given up, so perhaps this is not the way for you to go. Check out your local shelter,and if there is a nice ubiquitous (at least here)black lab mix ,see how this dog responds to you and your family. One more thing,here labs have pretty good lives,most people LOVE them, and if you want to take the trek to Cape Cod I will take your pup, provided you pay for the neuter or spay and have all shots current and health check. I have a home now that wanted a Chessie pup,but I did not think it would be wise for them to have their first dog a Chessie. Hope this helps Paulette~ |

Paulette, I hope you're not saying what I think you're saying. Are you saying that it is better for this family to take a dog from a shelter (possibly completely unknown history, behavior, etc.) over one that is in a foster home with a breed specific rescue? I am saying a goos sheter is a place to get a good dog that needs a chance at a home ASAP. Here the dogs that are in shelters are staffed by pretty good people that know how the dogs are in many situations. A lot of the dogs also go home with the volunteers. Another thing dogs in shelters usually have been evaluated by a knowledgeable person (at least I would hope so) so they pick what dogs they feel are good dogs with not many problems. The staff can tell a pretty good dog right off,as they are working with them every day so they get to read them, as if this was not the case,then shelters would not be matching the right dog to the right person. IMO, breed rescues tend to do a good job with vetting the individual dogs (temperament testing, cat/dog/kid testing, basic training, etc.), and you're much more likely to get a known commodity with them than if you were going to the shelter to pick out a dog about which no one knows much of anything. Suja,you are correct. UNKNOWN dogs should not be adopted out, until they have been evaluated and put into different situations. I should rememeber that not all shelters and rescues are alike. Here our shelters do all that and more. As for breed rescue ,most are not in LIFE or DEATH situations,as we always tr to have room. I am very hard to get a Chessie from,as I have the time and space usually to keep themuntil I find that nice home, and I have found that other breed rescues are about the same. Now that I know this person has a Golden Pup and knowing the breed rescue here for Golden's ,I doubt very much they would give this person a dog,as they would think most any dog would be too much for this family. If I remember the history at all didn't she have a Springer with *Rage Syndrome*? Now that term gets flung along A LOT,not to say that their dog might have had it, BUT I have heard THAT EXCUSE why the dog get's put down ,a lot here. : ( Hope I explained myself a little more.
