Be it one dog or 1000, its still too many. Be it a purebred dog or a Mix breed, its still too many that end up in the shelter. I think I am probably a little more sensitive to rescue this week as I dealt with a Kerry rescue and it really hit home that even unt the best of circumstances, things go wrong. But, stepping up to the plate is real issue here. Mike Lynch BlackHawk Farms, LLC ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
