Messaged you both, thanks

Thanks!

Thanks, will PM in a minute once I've found the pic ;)

Hi all, for a few reasons I don't want to post a picture here- not least because it isn't my breeding!- but can anyone experienced in puppy teeth/dentition/Bite etc drop me a PM please, or let me PM them? Thanks!

And if you all watch episode 2, on catch up, the opening credits with Clare doing a voice over feature a small child kissing her saluki- that's my child and one of my Salukis! Nothing in the breed ring for us this year, but judging was true and fair and excellent winners chosen, particularly...

I can't help but feel, that when she has to pass away, she would probably rather it was doing what she loves, riding her ponies or walking with the dogs. I think it's incredible!

I do as golden star ; mine will "stand" up on command, but noT to a stranger. My mother used to feel if you trained it as a specific command, they learnt to not do it at random. I don't know how universally correct that would be but it worked for our family.

I don't think they even thought at all. Other than, "awww puppies are cute and I need some cash after Christmas"

Please god no. I hope it's not. The chances of the poor thing ever drawing breath without a ventilator must be slight.

It does just seem mean to have her as a second class citizen, because I wouldn't give up my own dogs for one snap when they were 11 months old. But on the other hand, she's not my responsibility as it were, I am just volunteering a space for her temporarily.

Thank you both :( a tough call in the morning I think. If I had no child or older ones, I would keep her on. But I do, and therefore I can't. Damn it. She's now sleeping on my feet and looking the angel Gabriel in canine. I will see who has space for her; I think the warden herself...

Now that comes as no shock at all! Salukis are my breed: I have had them most of my life, i show them, I breed them, I lure course them, I study heritage and genetics, I foster for our breed welfare and I support our club health programmes. I will judge them in the future too.

Gutted- in 24 hours we have made such progress. It's not her fault, I don't want her branded as nasty because she's not, but I feel uncomfortable. I think I will tell them she can stay until the end of the week- i can keep them separated completely- but that I would like them to re allocate her...

Exactly ladies :( I feel very sad about it. It's the first foster we have had for this welfare charity and I don't want them to think Badly of us for it. But I care more about my child than what anyone thinks and I don't think it's unreasonable. They knew from that start, and I have always been...

Argh I don't have feel conflicted :( I desperately don't want to send her away, she's not a bad soul and has had a rough few weeks. It could be a one off. But. BUT. It's my child. She's not a guinea pig test dummy: she's my daughter. Can I justify the risk for one dog?
