But I wasn't broken
Baily is a Weimador, that's half Weimaraner and half Labrador Retriever. When people meet Baily their first question is what kind of dog is she. Their second question is usually, "Was that done on purpose?"
I know in this day and age, a lot of hybred dogs are quite popular (like the Labradoodle), however this was a total accident. You can read the story at Zoey's page.
We were fortunate to get such a well cared for puppy from the Michigan Weimaraner Rescue. However, we certainly don't want to put some rescue organization on the hook for placing more unplanned accidental puppies.
So two things; one, check out the rescues near you, there are a lot of good dogs available. Two, unless you are a professinal breeder whose goal is to improve the breed, remember to have your dogs neutered or spayed.

Awww, poor baby! Our Zoey is going in next week.
ReplyDeleteShe was banging her conehead inside the crate, so we took it off her while crated. Big mistake, she pulled out a stitch, and of course it was night.
ReplyDeleteBaily and I spent a long night at the pet emergency room getting re-stitched. The vet thinks there was a small infection, so he flushed it and gave us some antibiotics.
I hope Zoey's recovery is smoother. It's so funny, the say after the operation, "Don't let them run or jump." - not so simple, humph.
We will have it a bit easier. We had a trip to oregon planed prior to getting Zoey,so we are having her boarded at the vets...and while there...they will handle her surgery and after care.
ReplyDeleteDon't run or jump is NOT an option..they do nothin but!!
