Huhhh... great. Just perfect.

Sounds completely fine to me...?

Better off for the dog's health.

Completely fine? She came from awesome parents and was meant to be shown. She was a show puppy. And I took my time and energy to train her, and now she's spayed. That sound completely fine to you?

Yes, I mean sorry, but it does. She may have came from excellent parents, but she could turn out horribly in the show ring.

You might want to check and see if they have a "household pet" category in dogs. I have 3 purebred cats that were rescues. 2 of them I showed in household pet. They did great. Wouldn't hurt to check, right?

I am sorry that you are so upset. I don't visit PT much and post even less so it is quite likely that I am missing something here.

Is Lisa an adult (over 18) and the legal owner of the dog? I mean, do you have a legal claim to CO-ownership? If not, then I must say I have to agree with the others. But I do understand your frustration and disappointment.

She should have asked, or at least told you first. JMO

At the end of the day, whether she's spayed or not, does it make her any less of a dog?

Nope.

In any case, it's not the end of the world. One should be looking out for poochs best interest, first, and then our own. That is what has been done.

Lola is a pretty, pretty, girl. You may not have walked away from this endeavor with anything physically but you have gained knowledge and experience.

I don't show in Juniors.

Thank you..

No, no, no, no.

[Iilo]

Wow, a negative attitude like that is certainly going to get you far in the world of AKC.

Seriously, Zoomer, if you had no financial investment in the dog, and no paperwork or contract saying you had an interest in her, chalk the whole thing up to experience. Next time, if you are seriously training a dog for the show ring, get a contract stipulating no spaying/neutering set up and signed by you and the dog's owner. Otherwise you have no grounds to object, other than emotional ones.

Yep, I do believe that's what I said!
It's not like it's a necessity for a dog from "awesome parents" to be shown. Now, her risks of several cancers is reduced, awesome!


I thought you had another "show dog" anyways?
