Re: Hips not good

Ok, first can I say thanks to Val and Claire for your sympathy and supportive comments. Roz is a very good friend of mine and is finding this time very difficult. This dog does not have everything wrong with him and has no hang ups. It is never going to be a case of PTS and he has never been in kennels as he went straight to a foster home. Agility is a sport that is enjoyed by dog and handler and not just a thing we do cos we enjoy it, the bond between dog and handler is very special. Nothing against breeders – but if you get a dog cos u want to breed and then it turns out that that dog cant have pups, BIG DEAL. That dog can still enjoy life as normal. When you have an active lifestyle like Roz and get a dog to fit into that and for health reasons it would be cruel to get it to join in then it wouldnt he be happier with a quiet life? Roz cares very much for this dog and had him x rayed as soon as she could so she can help the dog and find out what his future holds. She has booked him into a specialist clinic tomorrow and they specialise is agility and HD. At the end of the day she is doing her best to help him amd she is thinking about his quality of life before her own. For that i think she deserves our support and understanding. If his home isnt with roz then so be it but you can bet she will work damn hard to make sure the next home matches him forever.
