    Yes we are very busy apart from the lifers, the puppies/dogs are in kennels for an average of 9 months before being adopted, we spend 3-4 months temperament, risk, behaviour, food aggression, cat, babies/children dog assessing the puppies/dogs before going into the adoption blocks, "new owners" can however reserve any of the dogs being assessed, we like to make sure we know what the puppy/dog is like before just letting them being rehomed.
    There was a case last year were a child was killed by an bulldog that the family had only just adopted, its a sad fact that some rescue home don't assess the dogs they just in a word want to get them adopted as soon as possible but not my rescue home.
    We will take 3-4 months assessing our puppies/dogs, we got a nice cuddly little young dog in at moment, the first time we baby/child assess him he was brilliant with them, but the 2nd time he went for the baby (we use life like dolls not real babies/toddlers) however the 3rd time we assess him he went hide in corner when we used the toddler doll, but came over wagging his tail when we brought the baby doll in, but 12 mins later he was growling at the "baby" he will be assessed on children over 8 years old, then depending on how he is depends on which block he goes into when he goes up for adoption, at moment his name is down for no children block. he still as another 6 weeks of assessments to go through yet.
    Its better being safe then sorry when it comes to rehoming rescued puppies/dogs, yes our adoption prices do seem high but by keeping them high means only peoples truly wanting a puppy/dog for life will be adopting puppies/dogs from us.

    I have "White Dog" on video (old VHS :D) somewhere. It is quite a disturbing movie, even more so now that you are saying people actually train dogs to attack non-white people :eek: I have never heard of this happening before - and especially with a breed such as a husky who are not known for being a protective breed.
