I have 6 right now and one died last Feb. 24th who was the mother of the litter. Her husband survives her as do 5 of her litter. They are now 8 years old and the Daddy is only about 6 months older. At one point we had 12. 9 puppies, the mother and father and a pure bred Pekinese that belonged to my GF. When we had the litter, they forced us out of our condo in Del Mar by charging us $500 a month in penalties. Best thing that could have happened as we sold the condo at the top of the market. Now have a duplex in Vista with a half acre of land that the dogs love.
I'm sorry to hear that hybrid. I had an Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler mix named Bodie. First dog i ever had from puppy to 12 when he died. He actually got cancer and i had to take him to be put down. Hardest thing ive ever had to do. I balled like a baby. The two Cattle Dogs i have now are actually my girlfriends. He died 3 years ago and i still haven't been able to even think of getting another one of my own. Its really tough when they pass. Too bad they don't live longer.
I had to put him down also, I had him from the day he was born I owned his mom also he passed at 14 yrs
I was taking him for his morning walk and his hips gave out he couldn't walk back home so I had to carry him ( he had to weight at least 150) to my car and straight to the vet.. it was extremely hard, he was perfect......
its hard to attach yourself to another when you had the "perfect" one
he's a little over 2....pic is a bout 9 months old, so roughly a year and a half in the photo....he's an american rottie, ckc registered, excellent bloodlines.....excellent temperament, people are surprised how friendly he is....take him to the park for his walks, the kids love him
would like to start making plans to breed him, but really don't know the best way to get that started....the breeder i bought him from is in georgia, a 1,000 miles away
After having to put down [hips gave out] our golden retriever 11/12/09, which to date is the hardest thing i have had to do in my almost 72 yrs [birthday in about 1.5 hrs] on this earth. My wife & i really miss him but with my wife's medical issues & me being the caretaker for her it would be too much & wouldn't be fair to another pooch.
