I don't think there's any trained dogs are puns here

The lady with the lab crossed pup hasn't replyed so I'm just going to ask mom for the free girl
And I found 55gallon barrels so I'm going to get 2 and start making the houses there $20 a barrel so I'm going to buy Hank one and "Nala" one

The lady replyed about the 3 yr old lab she told me no because she doesn't want her to be an outside dog, even though she lived on a chain for 2 yrs

Good. Definetly get houses done before you get dogs.

That's messed up. Then again I see why. Labs don't do well on chains/tied up.

Mentors are really helpful. But just make sure you factor in distance if you plan to meet in person.

Mom doesn't want me to email her :| idk y thou! I mean with a mentor I get hands on learning, maybe a few older free dogs, I get to actauly run a team, I might be able to actually get Nala on a team so she could help train Hank and any future dogs! Mom is frustrating me!!

wow. it never ceases to amaze me how humans are so egocentric as to talk themselves into believing that staying in the house is not detrimental to a dogs(esp the larger bred for the outdoors beeds) overall health in the short run and long run(not kennels)
I have seen so many indoor dogs with health issues(some really bad) it;s a wonder the PTB doesn't make laws against it. Mind you if they did there would be a drastic decline in "vet visits", thusly a drastic decline in commerce generated, thusly a drastic decline in the economy, thusly less tax dollars in the pockets of the PTB.
I firmly believe that bleeding hearts are detrimental to a dog as opposed to being the "humane, loving and kind" people they think themselves to be.
Personally I think it's a horrible life to be locked up in the house holding in my poop and pee till some human decides to take me for a walk and allow me to poop or pee perhaps on someone else's lawn or sidewalk. Or worse yet "crate trained" to sit or lay all day in a cage(like jail) then out only to get scolded for lying on the nice clean floor or scratching the door for "want out".
We humans are so cruel aren't we.
It is my intention only to have my thoughts and feelings shared in regards to this situation. I cannot and will not be accountable to how anyone else may, consciously or not, choose to feel in regards to my personal opinion.

I am so thankful in my spirit to know that you have enough respect (for self and others) that you would ask your folk/s blessings.

I hope they are plastic as opposed to metal. I'm guessing where you live you don't have the extreme temp differences as I do but metal would still be harder on their bones( arthritis kinda stuff)

Yep. Just point those things out and if she still says no, then you are back to training them yourself.

Okay, I'm exactly a week, my family has gone from 2 dogs, to 7!!! Dad is mad at me, even though only 3 of those are mine and 1 will be going back in a few weeks. So in the end I will have 2, my sister just got a McNab/heeler cross pup, my mom just got a blue/red Heeler male (he's 8-9 I think), plus our 2 other dogs we began with. 5 dogs in a week. Oh. My. Gosh. At least now, if I get them all trained, I would have a team of 6 once one goes back. That is, if they will actually pull and be able to keep up. :/
