Hi. Bit annoyed if I am honest. My friend had 2 staffys, a bitch, and then kept amale pup (who is now about 4years old). Thing is about 2 months ago her and her husband split, leaving her with the 2 young children and the 2 dogs. She ended up sending the male of to a kennels to get re-homed as she could not cope with them both and both kids. But now for some strange reason she has gone an got a boarder collie pup !! I just dont understand it. I dont know wher she got the pup from, weather a breeder or elsewhere, she has not got money being on benefits so doubt she would afford to be able to go to a proffesional breeder and was very last min (or so it seems).
When both her staffys were young they were very firm on them both, I no you may have to be on that particular breed, but they were VERY firm, ie carried a horse whip with them. And ok, the dogs are lovely adult dogs dont seem to be a nasty bone in them, but I only see them once a week. I just no that if they tried doing anything like that with a collie they will ruin it. She is also another one of those I dont understand, in that she does not walk her dogs. And again I no enough about dogs to no that all breeds need exercise and stimulation but especially a collie. Can they not get aggresive towards others when not socialised properly or stimulated enough?? They r a working breed after all.
I just dont understand her actions at all. Why re-home a dog and then get a new PUPPY ?????? I fnd it hard enough with one puppy nd one child, who I have only got joint custody off. Does she not realise with a dog a puppy and 2 young children full time that she is going to have ral problems ??
I did message her and said to her ' you do no a collie needs alot of exercise, brain stimulation and socialisatiopn, else u will have problems' . . she messaged back 'I no chick but hopefully he will be ok'
What does that mean?? Sounds like she was saying she noes but is not going to do all that cuz he may be ok and not need it ???
So what do I do, do i just sit back and let her get on with it, as I cant force her to do all things she needs to can i???
