.......I have three dogs, my youngest is a super energetic fire plug! (5 1/2 months)...until I find the right male to buy she is kenneled by herself!...and now that I am back in school for perhaps my final year I don't have as much time to play/socialize her!..this is a crucial stage for a protection/schutzhund type dog...I do plan to buy the right male within a month or two....I need a 4 to 6 month old male to BORROW!....sounds crazy but when I was a kid in Hayward CA. there was a pet library where you could check out animals, like books...snakes, rabbits, hamsters etc....my father never let me do it, but I thought it was a great idea!....anyone out there willing to take me on!....off to school...I have a pretty good group this year, but we're still in the "honeymoon stage"...lol...hope to show them the National on streaming video...my class last year loved it!.....Ed ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
