Decide what breed of dog you want.
Then contact either the parent club, or your local club-which will be a member of the Local Club.

EXAMPLE-Say you want a Rough Collie

You could contact the Collie Club of America or one of the local Clubs

Say you live in Northern California- The Northern California Collie Club.

Then you will get a breeder referral from them.

This will be for a reputable breeder that is a member in good standing in the club.

ADD: ANY BACKYARD BREEDING CROOK can advertise in magazines such as Dog Fancy or even the AKC website. They do NOT SCREEN BREEDERS.

AND ANYONE can put up a website.

Good lord, do NOT let that be how you pick a breeder.

Only go to a website if you have a referral FROM the breed club.

admin answers:

Here is the weekly ONLINE Sheltie Magazine with many many reputable breeders on the site.

They also have a breeders directory.

Always make sure the breeder is a member in good standing with the parent club

Nothing wrong with being specific. When I wanted my Rough Collie, I wanted a Sable and White female, who was white factored and had a blaze, and I got her!

Looks like you have a Shetland Sheepdog club in Alberta as well!

Contact them

What I Got – sublime

Early in the morning, risin’ to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money’s all gone
But I got a dalmatian and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother ****** riot
Life is too short so love the one you got cause you might get
runover or you might get shot
Never start no static
I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example
A tip from me take all of your money and give it up to charity
Lovin’s what I got
It’s within my reach
And the sublime style’s still straight from long beach
It all comes back to you you’re gonna get what you deserve
Try and test that you’re bound to get served
Love’s what I got
Don’t start a riot
You feel it when the dance gets hot
That’s why I don’t cry when my dog runs away
I don’t get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don’t get angry when my Mom smokes pot, hits
the bottle and goes back to the rock
****** and fighting it’s all the same
Livin’ with louie dog’s the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin come back to me

His prognosis is likely pretty grim. Is the disease or infection limited ONLY to the liver? It rarely ever stays that way if it is. The liver has a few functions, one of them being as a filter for your dog’s blood. But, the liver is only a secondary filter for the kidneys. When a dog is having liver difficulties, he almost always is having kidney problems as well…and that’s a whole other ballgame. Be careful with the medications you give her, even if they ARE prescribed by a vet. It has been my experience that vets don’t know everything and sometimes they just make things worse. With the advent of the internet, there is no reason not to begin research on your dog’s condition and take a proactive stance in his care. Once you really get into doing the research, you’ll be suprised to find out what your vet is doing wrong. For instance, how many of those medications he prescribed are metabolized and filtered through the liver, which is already compromised and doesn’t need the extra workload?? Did he mention anything about natural herbs, like Milk Thistle, and it’s benefits for the liver? Although I really like my vet, I will never EVER take his word as being final. No vet is God, and none of them know everything there possibly is to know. Nor do I expect them to. When my dog is ill, I hit the internet and the books and I have come across many discrepancies between them and my vet. I dont take the final word of human doctors either. Put your computer to good use and do some research. Find out what you can do to prevent a relapse and to keep your dog comfortable as long as possible. Vets dont have the vested interest in your dog that you do, and they dont lose any sleep when another dog dies. I’m sure there are many who vets who truly care, but NONE of them can possibly care as much about your dog as you do. It is ultimately your responsibility to make sure your dog continues with a reasonably good quality of life, and you cannot shirk this responsibility off on your vet. Good Luck.
