Wolfsoul, where we come from, the Humane society runs that program, so no big deal. Every town, city or province runs their programs accordingly. We are far from putting service dogs down, we are just saying that if you own just a pet and want to breed you should know all about the dog you are breeding beforehand.
You keep saying Therapy Dog, then you change to Service Dog. The two are as different as night and day, so I don't really know what you mean. Nicole said she was breeding for Service dogs, not Therapy dogs. and she has not mentioned doing therapy work with her dog at all. I think you are jumbling all the posts.
Your dog needs to be certified to be a therapy dog. she shies away from answering who certified her dog. She shies away from discussing Genetics. This is one of the most important aspects of breeding. Anyone can put two dogs together and have pups, that's what we are trying to show.
I gave a good source of information ....Fred Lanting, if you really want to educate yourself, read his sites. They are not the easiest thing to understand and it does make for long reading, but well worth it.
Why would I be putting Service dogs down? Or Therapy dogs? I have a therapy dog here. I wouldn't be afraid to post the date it was certified, etc.
By the way, the site on Pets and People do explain the requirements for a therapy dog, I was wondering if you bothered reading it?
