Tiller knows a lot about the breed. Hopefully she'll drop in and give her input on that. |  |  |  |  |

I'll have to check with the SO about exactly how much they did with the English Pointer and what he knows about training bird dogs. If I had to guess, I think the allure of a puppy is going to win out, but I'll speak to him in more depth about it and see where he stands. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Tue May 21, '13 4:33pm PST |  |  |  |  | The GSP breeder I'm leaning toward doesn't require dogs be returned for training, as far as I'm aware. I'll be sure to double check on that though.
The mentor is a good idea. From what I've heard of this breeder, he's extremely helpful and I imagine would be able to point us in the right direction. Definitely something to look into. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Tue May 21, '13 4:29pm PST |  |  |  |  | I'm also disappointed in Dogster for posting an article that's basically an advertisement for this guy's kennel. They could have easily published something about reputable breeders (and have, I believe) without it being attached to a subpar kennel.
And yeah, the fact that he's already breeding the first GSDs he's ever owned speaks to how little experience he really has with the breed. It does sound like he's put in more time and effort than your average BYB, but he's still no where near what I'd call a reputable breeder for a variety of reasons. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Mon May 20, '13 12:57pm PST |  |  |  |  | Baby, yeah, he's about like that. Not horrible to his dog by any means, just a little behind the times in some ways.
Don't think I'd ever even heard of a Portuguese Pointer. Interesting looking dog!
I will mention the Lab to him. I do think he'll be better about exercising the dog(s) after the move when he's no longer living in such a cold climate. If he moves and still doesn't get out much with his current dog, I'll make more of a push to get him to consider a lower energy breed than the GSP. |  |  |  |  |

| Barked: Mon May 20, '13 12:51pm PST |  |  |  |  | Wow, that is pretty bad. I mean, yeah people like that often don't learn and do often end up getting another dog, but you really have to wonder when it's only a few days after giving away the last one. At least if it's been several months you figure they forgot all the "bad" parts of owning a dog and only remembered it as being good, but in this instance And then they're already annoyed with the new one? You'd think they'd at least have a little shame about making their last dog someone else's responsibility
Sounds like Polly is fitting in great though! Finally getting the attention she deserves  |  |  |  |  |
