Re: Should animal charities bring in dogs from overseas ?
You cant take guides pigs (whatever they are) for three mile walks twice a day, and shorter ones other times, have their loving company every evening and weekends as my daughter does. When she comes here for the weekends she always bring her dog with her. She adores her dog and says her daily walks, when she also meets friends, are what keeps her sane, given that she has a very stressful job.Re: Should animal charities bring in dogs from overseas ?
I might also add that I had two English Setters when my marriage broke up. He wanted to kennel them indefinitely, I retrieved them and kept them another ten years, whilst also working full time to support myself, teenage son and the two dogs.Re: Should animal charities bring in dogs from overseas ?

I do agree it's best if somebody is home all day with a new pup - I myself always have been.Re: Should animal charities bring in dogs from overseas ?

I think if charities want to help they should do it in the country's concerned and not bring them here. My heart goes out to all animals who are mistreated but we cannot bring them all here and it's daft to think we could or should.Re: Should animal charities bring in dogs from overseas ?
Thank you LMB for your understanding. My daughter, her husband and family love their dog(s) and lavish all care on them. Her last Retriever which she had from a puppy (when she wasn't working) lived to fifteen years old. Now she has this Border Collie who got no exercise at all with its elderly owners, the wife was a carer for her invalide husband. Now despite my daughter working, the dog gets masses of exercise and ball play and is transformed.
