I am looking for a reputable kennel in the fraser valley, can anyone refer one to me. I am leaving the first part of May and need to find a good one for my dog. Or is there any Shepherd breeders/owners willing to take on my dog for a couple of weeks? He is a very easy to care for male. Also, while I am looking, I know lots of people on here have horses, I need a new boarding facility for my mare. I live in Hope BC and anywhere in the fraser valley is good. The next thing is, it is tick season here and my dog had 2 ticks yesterday...one was burrowed in and the other I just happened to see climbing around that one, luckily, I manage to get them both off and into the toilet!!! Do ticks cause lymes disease in dogs? I am unclear on that one, I know it is in humans but can dogs get it as well?
