Too Many Dogs!

Three dogs, lots of nonsense, not enough sleep, and a mediocre camera.

Sometimes it's the same people who insist on calling Doodles "mutts" in a smarmy voice that also utter the words "Border Whippet" and "Malincollie." That's wild.

Can I just say, I am SO RELIEVED that another human being is expressing the sentiment you did in the tags. I see the bad side of doodles but I still think they are GREAT companions for the most part and reputable breeders do exist!

It's been a while. We are mostly enjoying living in Kentucky. Thinking of moving more away from Tumblr as I never post and rarely check it anymore. Would anyone be interested in connecting on facebook? I've seen several dogblr folks in dog groups I'm a part of. If anyone wants to, feel free to message me and I can send a request! I post my dogs way more on facebook than here these days.

To update: a lot has happened since we moved. Fable is spayed now. We have a potential puppy in the works for next year from an amazing breeder. The dogs are getting back into classes. Mickey is having private sessions to hopefully work up to agility. We've found some amazing hiking and walking trails in our part of Kentucky. It's been an adventure but all is well.

Like the thing is ... show and work and sport breeders actively create this culture where breeding for the average pet owner is stupid and evil and they won't participate in that kind of program and etc etc on and on, is... part of why most of the ppl breeding solely for the average pet owner... are irresponsible bybs and puppy mills (and anyone who is breeding for companion dogs IS BY EXTENSION inherently suspect of being a byb lol 🤔)

YOU create a culture where people attempting to network with responsible breeders and participate in Dog Culture etc, but who do not value show or sports for their own programs, are basically shunned out of existence

No fucking wonder the average rando family who wants a nice family dog doesn't know jack shit, like, all the people who are in the best position to be ambassadors of dog information ACTIVELY DISDAIN the average family searching for an average pet

Flames on the side of my face! Companionship is a job ! The culture where "pet quality" means "not good enough at the more important things" isn't something fucking puppy mills came up with ! the thing where fancy working and show breeders sneer and say "go to a shelter or rescue" when average families inquire about pet dogs ISN'T SOMETHING BYBS DID. Look in a MIRROR

BREEDING A DOG SUITABLE FOR ITS MOST COMMON OCCUPATION IS A SENSIBLE AND NOBLE TASK

Boarding the dogs this week while I travel for a funeral. I got a room with a live feed because I knew I'd be worried and this helps. I've never had to board them at a place I didnt work before. They are doing good though.

Hmm...

I know I shouldnt get involved in the discourse (tm) but, just because someone disagrees with you doesnt mean they are uneducated on a topic. I've taken courses that are positive only and also some that are aversive inclusive. I personally feel that corrections are a line of communication between a dog and handler and are perfectly capable of being gentle and humane when done correctly. I also feel that people who insist on using positive reinforcement only as much as the possibly can have every right to do so and can often produce some stellar dogs. It is all about what works for individual people and individual dogs. Just because you believe one way doesnt make you morally superior to people responsibly and thoughtfully using different methods. Thank you that is all.

Happy Pride from Ransom!!

[woolywoofs]

she likes the sticks, but also must eat sticks

[tripledogbrain-blog]

Made it to the wonderful state of Kentucky. We are all exhausted but not bad overall. Fable is a bit confused as this is her first move. Ransom is stressed as hes done it a lot and hates it. Mickey is Mickey so nothing new there. Hopefully we will settle in quickly and can get right into adventuring.

Took a trip out of town last weekend for a last hurrah outing with some friends. We found a cool dog park in a small town that was completely empty and had some terrible "agility" equipment. It was a good time!

Yes, pollution is caused primarily by companies, national coal, the pentagon, ect. but small scale community clean up efforts are still good! cleaning your local park wont save the ozone but it will make life better for the neighborhood kids and wildlife! world problems arent a zero sum game. Small improvements are still improvements that make things better and I dont see how deriding them is positive in any context. You can agree there needs to be more large scale efforts without saying small scale efforts are useless and dont matter.
