Tonight at 8 PM, EST, the series NATURE in the PBS stations will show a programm titled: "Dogs, the early years. The breeding and training of puppies."
I don't know when it will air in other parts of the country, but you may want to keep an eye out to find it.

I hope Staci was watching.....I sat there, watched it, and cried and cried over that little girl training the Golden and sending him off to his forever home!!

And the puppies.....oh my goodness!! So many babies, and such good advice.

I loved every minute, Alicia. Thanks for the reminder.

Logan I was crying too! What a beautiful story and what a gorgeous dog. Albea, thank you so much for pointing that out!!

I'm glad you enjoyed the program. I was also very moved by the story of the girl who trained the Golden puppy to become a seeing-eye dog . Many times I thought about becoming a volunteer for Fidelco, the Connecticut organization that trains GSD for the blind, but I know that I could never return the pup after spending 18 months with him/her.
Right before that program there was another one on baby animals in the wild. It was also wonderful. Sorry I did't know about it before to let you know but I'm sure they will re-run it in a future Nature presentation.

I forgot about the program until half way through it.

I logged onto Pet Talk and saw the post again and then said to hubby - hurry turn on PBS. I was crying too when the girl gave the Golden to her new owner. Hubby asked why do you want to watch shows that make you cry. I just told him he needed to be a female for me to explain they are tears of joy that the dog had so many people who loved him and he would always have a great home.

No offense to any males on this forum (I really appreciate all of you) but sometimes I think men are clueless on what makes a woman tick!
