As we watch Molly decline because of her elbow dysplasia, a decline that brings her each day closer to the end of her life, I wish more breeders took elbows as seriously as you do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235049965406944684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6310545094908978263.post-80899987801107040712009-02-04T13:45:00.000-07:002009-02-04T13:45:00.000-07:00Do you ever think that perhaps, they choose us?

I look at my two Berners, as different from each other as can be, and know that somehow they told the breeder to place them with me. Somehow, Asia's role was never to be in your breeding program, but to be your shadow and working partneer. Kind of like Karma - she picked you, too.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522251856304729860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6310545094908978263.post-31731631415643049612009-02-04T09:39:00.000-07:002009-02-04T09:39:00.000-07:00What the heck?

Such dedication to the preservation of the breed is an honorable quest. Unfortunately, so many breeders will take chances with their programs, which may possibly work out fine. However, in many cases, the new owner has a dog with very limited physical abilities and lives with pain and discomfort.<BR/><BR/>As for you keeping Asia, I wouldn't have expected anything else!<BR/><BR/>Sandy Evans<BR/>Roanoke, VAAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03917937954007393912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6310545094908978263.post-3828602175510015782009-02-04T07:26:00.000-07:002009-02-04T07:26:00.000-07:00Yes, I'm sure we've all heard that kind of comment...Yes, I'm sure we've all heard that kind of comment: mine is, "Now that you live in such a small space, why do you want...such a big dog, two cats, etc.?"<BR/><BR/>Integrity, kindness, and pure love.
