My dog search continues... *HE'S OURS!!!!!!!!*

[Grace]

If you remember my last thread about the sheltie I met, well the hip test came in and she failed. I was really upset, but I picked myself up and relized it was just not ment to be!

I'm a cat person, just visiting, and not up on all these dog things. What does it mean that a dog failed the hip test? And what happens to this dog now that you're not going to take her?

Here are my name ideas, for what they're worth.

Zach
Jake
Blue (too common for a blue merle, I know)
Chase
Blaze

That's it for now.

This means she has hip dysplasia. Not sevure or anything, but her hips are not healthy enough to do competive agility. The owner will just keep looking for a good home for her, she is not in danger of going to a shelter now that I have gotten to know the owner, she loves her and is looking out for her well being. I would have tooken her if I was looking for a dog to come in to my home for just a pet, but since I was to trial she is just not the right dog for me.

Thanks for the info, and Good Luck with your new one.

I am sorry Sage didn't work out but like you said It wasn't ment to be.I love shelties.He is beautiful.My uncle has a sheltie named Sarah and I loved walking and playing with her. I love the name Sage.

[cyber-sibes]

What a handsome man! When will you know about this little guy?
Are you trying to think of registered names, or just a call name?
(I thought the suggestion of Jake was good, sounds jazzy, like he looks)

I hope Sage finds a good home, sounds like his owner is looking out for his well-being.

I am so sorry to hear about Sage, Bre. I really hope that you will get this little guy, though! He's a beauty!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I am sorry to hear things didn't work out with Sage. I hope this guy works out for you! He's beautiful. I can't help with names, as I'm not good at coming up with them at all, especially when it comes to males.

[Flatcoatluver]

Yah! I am meeting him on Sunday! Can't wait!

[buttercup132]

I was thinking about this at work for some reason but I thought you wanted a Standard poodle?

[Riptide]

Ohhh Sunday is only in two days!! I might be getting a little bit too excited for you, lol

For some reason, the name "Leo" popped into my head when I saw his picture...I also like Taz_Zoee's suggestion of Zach, and your idea of Aiden.

I was thinking about this at work for some reason but I thought you wanted a Standard poodle?

I was going to get one next year (the litter is planned), but then this whole thing started with Zoey, and my boss told me when I move out it will be hard to find renters who will allow 2 big dogs. So I told the breeders to take me off there waiting list. Doesn't mean I won't have a standard, just not at the moment.

Thanks Kristin, we have decided on the name Dakotah.

[Danegirl2208]

oh congrats He is so handsome And dakotah is a great name!

[Riptide]

Dakotah fits him perfectly! I hope all goes well when you meet him on Sunday

[Flatcoatluver]

OMG! I'm back from meeting him and he is truely amazing! He warmed up to all of my family very quickly, and what a kisser! He is so sweet and he is perfect for our family! No pictures, I was to excited to even stop and take one , but he looks a lot different from the picture he is darker in color, but what a beauty! His personality is just sooooo amazing. Ok I'm done bragging!
