Empty Nest Syndrome & Finding a New Role or Purpose in Life - Ideas?
Shari,
I totally agree with you about what is happening to the different
dog breeds, I have always been around dogs, I had a shepherd
for 12 1/2 yrs and she was a sweetie, but We looked for about
6 1/2 months going to different breeders before we found her
most of the dogs we saw had alot of black in their coat and they
were all bread for the low back legs, I wanted one with more of
a fawn coloring and I was told that they bread for more of the black
because that was what the judges were looking for same thing for the hips
and I knew that that would lead to hip dysplasia.. We Lucked out and
found our dog shenia she was fawn with a little black on her back, she
had such a great temperament. I miss her still. We now have a westie
that we have had for almost 9 yrs and she doesn't think she a dog!!! LOL
we treat her like a kid and is loved like one. Hopefully one day soon
the akc and other groups will realize that temperament and health comes
first.
