Hi

Im from Pretoria, South Africa. My family has a dog day care centre running from our house and I joined the forum with the intention to learn more on dog breeds and different behaviour.

Chat soon.

Hi! Hope you like it here! Didn't say if you had any dogs of your own? If so--What kind, how old, and what do you call it (them)? Any pics. to show? There are trainers and other well-informed members on dog behavior, etc in this forum. If you have any specific questions--sure someone can give you some good advice. How many dogs do you usually 'sit' with at one time?:mrgreen:

There is a member going to vet school that also has access to a lot of info!

I have a jack russel, her name is cindy. She getting old now though.

At the moment we never have more than 4 dogs at a time in day care. Keeping it manage-able and every dog can get individual attention. They have a nice dog-house to sleep in and a big yard to run around in.

At the moment we're looking after a rhodesian ridgeback. Very beautiful dog, but his owners still need to train him alot better.

Did you ever think about taking up dog training and adding it to your dog care business!? All you need is the training--everything else would already be there!

Hi
I am new here.
I have a rajapalayam breed dog in my home.

My sister is a qualified dog trainer, but her training school is not currently at the house. She did her training qualification through "thinking pets"

Well believe it or not, yesterday it dropped to 22. My 9 1/2 week old Miniature Pinscher pup went to her new home. Nice young divorced man with a 6 year old daughter....They absolutely adore her. But then at 10:45 this morning the count jumped to 24. I have 2 brand new Papillon pups....2 beautiful little girls.
Also, my red Miniature Pinscher is due within the next week....The way she looks, I could be up to 30 for all I know....:mrgreen:

Wow! You must have the patience of a saint!!!

Yogi · 12-25-2009

A saint may be stretching it. But do love animals so I guess it is easier for me than most. Its like have a daycare center for 2 year olds, especially since most of them are Miniature Pinschers....
