Debbie:

Take a deep breath, then let it go. It is very sad and I do hope these little ones find a great home and no dog is ever at the mercy of this family's self serving need for puppy love.

I hosted my doggie day care Christmas Party/dog birthday party Saturday. My two hang out with a bunch of different dogs throughout the year.Eleven dogs came w/ their families. Of the eleven, five were pure bred dogs and six were mixed breed/shelter dogs.

My day care "ain't" cheap. Most of these folks w/ rescues could afford pure bred dogs but chose to go the rescue route. Most have been worked with, trained, in Obedience programs, etc.

I was very impressed with the lengths some of these folks are going to give these dogs good homes. One dalmation has seizures, a pit/shepard mix has had fear issues, a JRT mix was passed fom sibling to sibling and just doesn't know how to play, etc.

It was amazing watching the patience, concern, teaching going on by the owners. In a three hour period, only one squabble: Lulu got too clolse to the JRT's ball he held in his mouth for over an hour! (P.S. Lulu was absolutely smitten w/ the JRT mix!, followed him everywhere he went).

As someome raising my first two dogs (with lots of help!) I see the issues I need to address with my pups. I didn't want a rescue because I wanted the opportunity ro raise mine right (whatever that means....).

But these folks w/ their rescues are dealing w/ a lot of the same issues plus on top of it fears, mistrust, ect they have learned from previous homes.

I hope these two Corgis you found are as lucky as the dogs I saw yeysterday finding loving homes where they will get everything they need.
