GOOD TOPIC AROURA. SOMEONE I KNOW HAS AN 11 YEAR OLD LAB BITCH NEVER HAD PUPS SHE FELT IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY TO GET THE OPERATION DONE ABOUT

Yes very embarrassing :oops: :oops: :oops:

YOU DO NOT WANT AN ACCIDENTAL LITTER :( WHEN GLADIS HAD HER FIRST SEASON I HAD A DREAM THEY TIED SHE WAS ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD. IT MADE ME MORE CAREFUL DIDN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF PADDY. HE WAS GOOD HE NEVER GOT A CHANCE :D

[quote name='K']I agree with the others too..please spay your doggy as soon as possible...there is no need for her to go through the stress of having a litter and what if the litter you dream of having the 3rd pup gets stuck and she dies and leaves you?..it has just happened to someone on another forum and the two pups are now at the vets fighting to live :( ....it is all too sad to think about :cry: ...another good reason in my "K is shallow and vain books" to spay your dog is no droopy boobies...I can't bear droopy boobies on dogs....[/quote] I AGREE WITH THE OTHERS BEST TO HAVE HER SPAYED

[quote]Its very good, it just got me thinking... if people are putting their pets to sleep because of SARS maybe you could send the poem into your newspaper or something to get people thinking? You never know how many lives you could save just by restoring and reinforcing the love people have for their dogs[/quote]. GOOD IDEA AROURA :D

[size=7][color=blue]WELL DONE GOOD GIRL DUCK[/color][/size] I KNEW YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT MOVING BUT I DID NOT KNOW YOU HAD ALREADY MOVED

[quote]Rowie is going to be microchipped soon... It's much better than ID tags, ID tags fall off, or someone can take them off on purpose ! (But still make sure they're wearing it!) I doesn't hurt all that much, just like a vaccine, the prices here are different, so I'm not sure[/quote].. I USE TAGS AS WELL. FOR EXTRA SAFTY :)

Let's see how Paddy would do... CGC Test Procedures The purpose of the Canine Good Citizen Program is to ensure that our favorite companion, the dog, can be a respected member of the community. To receive the CGC certificate, dogs take the 10 item Canine Good Citizen Test. Items on the test include: Test Item 1: Accepting a friendly stranger He likes people! This test demonstrates that the dog will allow a friendly stranger to approach it and speak to the handler in a natural, everyday situation. The evaluator walks up to the dog and handler and greets the handler in a friendly manner, ignoring the dog. The evaluator and handler shake hands and exchange pleasantries. The dog must show no sign of resentment or shyness, and must not break position or try to go to the evaluator. Oops, too bad. F Test Item 2: Sitting politely for petting This test demonstrates that the dog will allow a friendly stranger to touch it while it is out with its handler. With the dog sitting at the handler's side, to begin the exercise, the evaluator pets the dog on the head and body. The handler may talk to his or her dog throughout the exercise. The dog may stand in place as it is petted. The dog must not show shyness or resentment. Not shy, but he wants your arm in his mouth. F Test Item 3: Appearance and grooming This practical test demonstrates that the dog will welcome being groomed and examined and will permit someone, such as a veterinarian, groomer or friend of the owner, to do so. It also demonstrates the owner's care, concern and sense of responsibility. The evaluator inspects the dog to determine if it is clean and groomed. The dog must appear to be in healthy condition (i.e., proper weight, clean, healthy and alert). The handler should supply the comb or brush commonly used on the dog. Good so far... The evaluator then softly combs or brushes the dog, and in a natural manner, lightly examines the ears Good... and gently picks up each front foot. [color=red]PASS[/color] It is not necessary for the dog to hold a specific position during the examination, and the handler may talk to the dog, praise it and give encouragement throughout. Test Item 4: Out for a walk (walking on a loose lead) This test demonstrates that the handler is in control of the dog. The dog may be on either side of the handler. The dog's position should leave no doubt that the dog is attentive to the handler and is responding to the handler's movements and changes of direction. The dog need not be perfectly aligned with the handler and need not sit when the handler stops. The evaluator may use a pre-plotted course or may direct the handler/dog team by issuing instructions or commands. In either case, there should be a right turn, left turn, and an about turn with at least one stop in between and another at the end. The handler may talk to the dog along the way, praise the dog, or give commands in a normal tone of voice. The handler may sit the dog at the halts if desired. Finally, something he would.[color=red]FAIL [/color] Test Item 5: Walking through a crowd This test demonstrates that the dog can move about politely in pedestrian traffic and is under control in public places. The dog and handler walk around and pass close to several people (at least three). The dog may show some interest in the strangers but should continue to walk with the handler, without evidence of over-exuberance, shyness or resentment. The handler may talk to the dog and encourage or praise the dog throughout the test. The dog should not jump on people in the crowd or strain on the leash. Yea, another one...Pass Test Item 6: Sit and down on command - staying in place This test demonstrates that the dog has training, will respond to the handler's commands to sit and down and will remain in the place commanded by the handler (sit or down position, whichever the handler prefers). Prior to this test, the dog's leash is replaced with a line 20 feet long. The handler may take a reasonable amount of time and use more than one command to get the dog to sit and then down. The evaluator must determine if the dog has responded to the handler's commands. The handler may not force the dog into position but may touch the dog to offer gentle guidance. When instructed by the evaluator, the handler tells the dog to stay and walks forward the length of the line, turns and returns to the dog at a natural pace. The dog must remain in the place in which it was left (it may change position) until the evaluator instructs the handler to release the dog. The dog may be released from the front or the side. Depends. Can I leave food with him? No? F Test Item 7: Coming when called This test demonstrates that the dog will come when called by the handler. The handler will walk 10 feet from the dog, turn to face the dog, and call the dog. The handler may use encouragement to get the dog to come. Handlers may choose to tell dogs to "stay" or "wait" or they may simply walk away, giving no instructions to the dog. He might actually do this since it's only 10 feet and he didn't just escape from me. [color=red]only sometimes[/color]Test Item 8: Reaction to another dog This test demonstrates that the dog can behave politely around other dogs. Two handlers and their dogs approach each other from a distance of 20 to 30 feet, stop, shake hands and exchange pleasantries, and continue on for about 10 feet. The dogs should show no more than casual interest in each other. Neither dog should go to the other dog or its handler. BWAHAHAHA yeah, right. F paddy want to play Test Item 9: Reaction to distraction This test demonstrates that the dog is confident at all times when faced with common distracting situations. The evaluator will select and present two distractions. Examples of distractions include dropping a chair, rolling a crate dolly past the dog, having a jogger run in front of the dog, or dropping a crutch or cane. The dog may express natural interest and curiosity and/or may appear slightly startled but should not panic, try to run away, show aggressiveness, or bark. The handler may talk to the dog and encourage or praise it throughout the exercise. Ooo...another Pass. Test Item 10: Supervised separation This test demonstrates that a dog can be left with a trusted person, if necessary, and will maintain training and good manners. Evaluators are encouraged to say something like, "Would you like me to watch your dog?" and then take hold of the dog's leash. The owner will go out of sight for three minutes. The dog does not have to stay in position but should not continually bark, whine, or pace unnecessarily, or show anything stronger than mild agitation or nervousness.
