As the longtime secretary of the local breed club; calls regarding, strays, rescues, puppies, stud service, training and breed information were an every day thing.

The absolute worst was the new owner of a female GSP that had been given to her a few weeks earlier. A few days before she called me, the dog had been hit by a car and suffered a broken pelvis.

The vet had told her that there was nothing he could do but prescribe confinement and rest to allow the pelvis time to heal. The phone call wasn't about caring for the dog.

She was looking for a stud dog so she could breed the dog because she was in heat. Her reasoning? The dog might as well have puppies while she was laying around doing nothing. Selling the puppies would pay the vet bill and give her a little extra money!

Did she ever get an education!!!!!!!!!!!!
