I don't trust genetic testing. I've seen too many that were completely wrong.

Embark is the only accurate one. Wisdom is second most but even that one is pretty wrong.

I can see the pit and cattle dog right away lol

Yes definitely, especially the ACD. He got the bentley mark and everything, lol. He really looks like a GSD when he is in profile. And a chihuahua when he is angry

Yeah we would love to get a purebred from a reputable breeder but we just can’t afford it the only reason we were going to be able to afford her is right now all adoption fees are waived.

Save up! owner training is not cheap! Most rescue dogs have either behaviour or health issues or both! What you are paying for when buying a purebred is low (really low) chance of health and behaviour issues and a low wash out rate. Its going to cost you more to get a rescue train it for a year or so then find out it washes out

not just money but time and effort! Its really hard to train a AD on top of a having a disability

@MyParadiseFalls i love aussies they are adorable ! Good luck with yours!

 

[Ilovemychicks08]

thats really young to spay! good luck! I hope it works out rescues have really high wash out rates

I hate when they spay so early

 

[Ilovemychicks08]

they probably want no chance of accidentally litters or people breeding from the dogs

Unfortunately there are unethical rescues/shelters just like breeders


I would still advise waiting until 2 years old

There is a shelter i found that for puppies you have to sign a contract and once they are 1 and a half or 2 they have to come in to be spayed/neutered.

My aunt spent 2,500 dollars on 2 rescues for normal training. Then on her pit mix and extra 500 because she was so reactive.

I couldnt imagine how much money it would be to send in a dog for AD or SD training.

Although Denver i didnt even train and she is still alerting me.

25,000+ (is the price for a fully trained AD/SD
that is probably including paying for time training

its great that she is! Natural alerting is rare! Public access is most of the training the tasks are the easier bit

25,000??? Thats insane.

She doesnt just alert me either she alerts anyone in our household.

There is only 2 stores she can go in so its hard to do public training of any type.
