That's a well built form, Cecisflock. I may fill it out tomorrow. Too late tonight. You say it is just a class assignment, though, not a real thing? I mean I'm not really in the market for a dog so it's just pretend, right? You've done a nice job on it.
All of the dogs I’ve ever had have been ethically bred. My mentor offered me a smoothie make for free as another pet because he only has one testicle. He’s gorgeous conformationally. Seriously that’s one of his only faults… heartbreaking. I don’t want/need another pet.
Yeah just pretend for now. I’m hoping to make it a real business one day, but that could take years!
Ethically bred? As in, not in a puppy mill? Still should have used top quality stock. They need to find out which parent carries the gene for monorchidism and stop breeding from it, that is the only ethical thing to do. A monorchid dog can produce monorchid or even cryptorchid pups - males with both testicles undescended. This is a genetic fault. I'd have to research it to see if they are prone to testicular cancer but I know it's not good. Neutering such a dog will be a lot more expensive than neutering a normal male, as it will involve invasive abdominal surgery, and if you don't, he may be able to get out and possibly reproduce accidentally. I'm so sorry. What breed is he?
A what? (I assume your computer or phone "fixed" something for you.)
No, as in one of the best collie breeders in the country. They will not be breeding the pair again, however CH. Tapestry Distilled at Southland has never produced a male like this before. We think it was the female.
Thank you! Smoothie MALE lol.
That’s amazing, I hope the training goes good for Tru!
We're simply just working on directionals and again, I doubt I'll go anywhere with it. i'm too busy, just trying to figure out what works so I can apply it to my own dog in the future.
Awww! And I love your profile picture, what breed?
