The Dog Thread

[Humble_Minion]

What the hell sort of puppy farm keeps dogs til they’re 3yo? I thought they’d have them out the door by 10 weeks, grab the cash, and mum’d be preggers again as soon as she stopped lactating. Was there a hoarding element going on or something?

Best wishes @tassiehammer - it’ll be a challenge with a dog that unsocialised, but at least it’s a breed that’s generally pretty goodnatured, hopefully that’ll make things easier.

Good on you. It’s wonderful that your dog will have such a loving home.
Reading your post about how they’ve been treated makes me feel sick to the core.
Farking people. (Well, some people - not you).

[tassiehammer]

Haven’t got one yet but must be on a shortlist.
Obviously the breeders were only interested in money and not the dogs welfare. We’re getting a few stories of mainly people from the big island getting taken for a ride and even paying up to 2 thousand extra over the quote to get things finalised. One complaining that they paid 2500 and got the wrong pup. They’ve been doing it for years.

Great work Hammer, your doggo will need lot of love. Good on you and Mrs H for taking on a project dog.

I’m an expert . I posted months ago about a ’ rescued ’ dog, Sally, no longer with us, costing about 20 grand over about 4 years. I said no more, never again. But looks like I don’t call the shots .
We still have Fergus who was a rescued puppy who is 7 now.

we got our Edward as a rescue around 3years ago, a lot of work, but he is the best dog in the world for mine

Hope it goes well.

His expression is like he’s wearing a beanie of shame

[tassiehammer]

You should see him with his bombers beanie on

[bomber001]

Well, that is something to be shameful of at the moment.

RSPCA girl has just left. Dropped off a no name as yet Labradoodle. Thinks he’s about one to one and a half years old but definitely looks a lot younger. Put some pics up tomorrow.

[tassiehammer]

Blitz, meet Jasper. Skinny little thing but definitely not timid. And Fergus showing no interest whatsoever.

[Shahid_Afridi]

This is really wonderful. You’re a good human. Hope it goes well for all of you.

Thanks for the photos. Keep us in the loop with Jasper’s progress. Good on you and MrsTH.

[Humble_NSW_Fan]

Look forward to hearing of Jaspers progress.

[tassiehammer]

Girl from the RSPCA gave him the hair cut but he still smelt pretty bad so bathtime for Jasper but don’t tell the grandkids there was a jasper in their tub .
Then one contented little dog. He’s still not sure about food in a bowl and apparently none of them like their head touched from the front as that’s how they were handled. Head grabbed, lifted, and moved to wherever.
Sorry about the Jasper overdose. I’ll let him grow some fur back before the next pics.

[Humble_NSW_Fan]

I’m happy to see as many Jasper pics as you post!

Will be great to see his progress.

Great work THammer.

[bigallan]

Me too. Keep up with the pics and news.

[loyalandproud]

Me three - really heartwarming to see that he’s with you.
