NO! Just say no, without false modesty, that my friend writes.
This is the blog of a life that works WIZARD with dogs, studying dogs, lives with dogs. My experience is very limited and is contained in my relationship with Frodo, and all the adventures that have happened. Then I read, I try to exchange a few words with those who understand more than me, but definitely only "an interested person."
And perhaps, on reflection, are also a few more little thing: I am a person who is open to a relationship with an animal of another species. If a relationship is genuine, there are many lessons to learn, to discover the latest news, more so then if there are many differences between those who contracted (after all it is a relationship between different species). And where we learn, is changed, it is inevitable in the processes of learning . Golden that changes your life, John wrote in a previous post. That's it. I'll tell you more: Frodo began to change our lives before coming home. And this all credit goes to the breeders of this breed.
In one afternoon in February 2008, prompted by our neighbor, we decided it was time to take a dog with us. Already returned home planning some fluttering on the Internet to discover information on the nature of a yellow dog that just struck me, and shortly afterwards a bit 'readings confirm that the pet was a Golden Retriever. At that point I had (or rather thought I had) a clear idea. The puppy would be home until puppy, and then live in the garden, in a nice and comfortable couch, mind you, but obviously in the garden. March was the right time to take the puppy that would grow during the summer. Surely at least once a day for a long walk, surely holidays together in the house of Maratea, but muddy paws on the floor, hair scattered around the house, clothes etc were not covered in my "cultural background", and just as naturally thought of a ' good board for those times when the holidays with your dog had not been possible.
After further reading I knew "everything" on hip dysplasia, elbow, poor eyesight, but also a good imprinting on humans. I was interested in a dog show, but a good character, and tried to farm size that contained cubs as if they were not baked snacks. Here the group is greatly reduced .... While prices rose more than those ... .. well all my previsone. And more than 1000 .... For a dog? I do not want a status symbol, I do not want a Champion of Beauty, but I want a good dog. I read again and I am convinced that those who ask me much, speak to those who ask for little things that do not mention or do not even vaguely, more hearsay than for conviction. The first state to make such 5 litters in life than the dogs selected for mating, not earlier than two years, a fund for abandoned dogs, returned by the owners, very few litters a year, dogs who share the family life . Patience, I did not know that a dog "normal" could cost so much, but I like the idea of \u200b\u200bpaying someone who does very good at his job, rather than just pay someone who does not care about certain things either.
Then start making phone calls, only the first type to the farms, and the surprises continue. Before I could ask if they have puppies, breeders submit to me a kind of ballot: that's my job? But excuse me that you care ... ..? (agree not say exactly but the meaning is that). No is to know how many hours the puppy / dog be alone during the day. The Earth's at home? Oh a bit 'at home, a bit' in the garden. No, not right in the garden! Dogs are not used as pieces of outdoor furniture. Have you had other dogs? Prior experience? What do you know dogs and how to grow? You have a kind of dog education center near you? What led you to choose this breed? You know the character and sensitivity of a golden retriever? You may come for a first visit so we know each other personally and we can decide whether you are suitable to grow one of our dogs? By Marie Pierre visits become even two! After two hours are really "out of clothes." But who are these? But are they talking about? But dogs are sold "Evaluation of bipedal?
I'm back on the internet to read more carefully the nature of news on the golden retriever. I ordered a little 'books, and picked up some old text. I read again the dog's social animal, but this time I can understand what I read.
If the dog is a direct descendant of the wolf, he needs to continue exchanges and interactions with its target group, the greatest punishment is often the man who imposing confining only at home or in the garden . If you take a dog to live next door, an integral part of the human family would like the pack. We talked to John and reconsider the whole decision, not putting it in this no doubt but aware that Do not take "a dog object," but a "dog person", with all his rights in love, sharing and living together (holidays included). The rest of our history, you know.
I no longer believe, as a bit 'I believed that the Golden Retriever is the only type of dog or a dog that needs some more attention. Instead, I believe that many farmers Golden Retrievers are extremely sensitive and scrupulous people who love their dogs and (now that I know) are linked to each individual puppy, whose fate they feel responsible to the last. The relationship with Frodo I changed a lot, so he taught me, gives me so much every day. But the first great lesson, the first major change came first, thanks to the intelligence of people that I will remain deeply grateful.
