Is she back from the breeder yet? Will she be a happy mother made?
There's a special place in perdition for low-life garfish types who'll steal a hunting dog.
Unfortunately, my little retriever girl is so friendly, she'll go with ANYbody and work for ANYbody. She's the meet-and-greet dog at any hunt test day. I can loan her out to people at agility training, and she'll run the course with enthusiasm and watch them like a hawk. And of course she'll pick up anybody's birds if given half a chance.
I never leave her in the yard unattended, she's really a house dog that also works . . .
Same here.
I really didn't want a big dog in my house, so I invested in a really good kennel.
But after the lowlifes starting circling, I made it clear that they were NOT going to get my girl.
She's no longer a dog. And she WOULD get in the car and leave with anybody. There was a REAL (not imagined) effort to steal her. I have kinda turned her into a poodle now, but have people standing in line for a puppy, because of her pedigree, her beauty, and bred talents.
I miss her. I call the breeder every day, in fact he probably thinks I am a nutcase. I want her to produce puppies, more to further the breed than anything else.
Good, close hunting grouse dogs are almost extinct, especially in this country. And the females of her breed are fickle (hard to breed) -- that's why it is so important I pass on her genes.
I want her to get it over with, and come home and be my baby again. I am lost without her, and worried she is grieving for me.
