Need a dog! General Chat

how come all these idiots have dogs and dont walk them feed them ect and i cant even get a dog and not even a rescue as as i dont stay near enough to one !!!!!!!god my so fed up

Sorry I don't really understand your post.

Can you explain in more detail why you can't get a dog and why you think you don't stay near enough to a rescue.

Sorry if I am being thick but in order to answer your questions I think more details are required.

I

have you heard of the american bull dog that still needs a home in Fife???????????? He may be put down,its on another thread

I don't understand your thread either......

when i contact people about they dont get back to me,

about pups i ment

i have 3 cats and i couldnt control it :-(

Have you a breed in mind or will it be a rescue?
The way I found my pup was to go online to get as much info as possible about the breed and checked out websites of breeders. I also went to dog shows and from there decided on which lines I liked, decided on a breeder and put my name on her puppy list.

border collie, done all reserch im seeing them in my sleep,and ive owned a collie x lab,i will be getting one out news paper with no papers at this rate as breeder i was planning on getting a pup from has stopped replying and ive been trying to plan ahead and is not helping as i was going to book holidays but i cant till i know whats happening

If you get any dog, be it a rescue, pedigree or pup I dont think you should be contemplating a holiday right now.

Dogs, like kids, need stability and security.

Good luck with finding one - have you tried your local rescue centre?

lol i know this, the holiday is at home so pups not on his own and to help him get settled in,and i only work 3 hours a day at different times,and i say he cause i want a male.and will take 2 weeks off so i can get him use to been on his own for a wee wile.

have you tried rescues and if so what was their response?

i am not close to any and cant get a lift to any :-( and i want pup for training reasons

there are plenty of pups in rescue!

where abouts are you ...pm me you area and i will see if there are any rescues near you...

What do you mean by 'YOu want a pup for training reasons' ?

????????????? sorry I'm confused, you say you 'will have to get one out of the newspaper with no papers at this rate'...yet your talking about rescue's....don't think rescues will have papers either:? :? Don't understand ' pup for training reasons' either:?

I think the OP means, she wants a Well bred Collie with papers, shes trying to be organised so she can book her hols around when the pup is due to be born So she can work out when she will be bringing it home (very organised! well done!) & for training resaons she will be looking for a dog that enjoys training (not specified,so could be any of the collie activitys ,some of which will need papers some wont, if competing)

Is someone going to give her a lift to training then?

i biked & walked to my training classes for years & trtained in the park & out on walks!!!! & scrounged lifts when it was raining!!!!!....then i learned to drive!!!! (& axctually i met the driviung instructor THROUGH dog training!!)

I only ask because getting a lift to a rescue seems to be a problem at the moment.....
