Paulette - find a boarding kennel that specializes in Sporting dogs. They usually will take intact animals. The pooch may not be pampered, but he or she will be safe. I had a male that drove me nuts and destroyed more than one kennel door. I never boarded him but he did spend some nights locked in a crate in the van...down by the river. :o) Cindy cnnpmm2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: myjoygs@xxxxxxx ... Actually do they [boarding kennels] take dogs in season? Like I told Dave and Carolyn, *none* of the boarding kennels I called will accept a bitch in heat. There were even a couple kennels that refused to accept intact dogs! Paulette ----- Original Message ----- From: To: ; Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 2:52 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Help!

It's not that difficult Carolyn.... First time we had a bitch in heat in the same house with Quake, we just told him no.... * Then I replaced the door he tore down, placed the furniture back against the door that he had moved, replaced the chainlink fence he destroyed, apologized to all the neighbors he kept awake for several nights, Sent Linda on a vacation she so desperately had earned in the supervision, called my psychiatrist for some pills, talked to the vet an\bout neutering my show dog,..... * Then I broke down and boarded the bitch. See.... Easy! Dave ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
