Subject: RE: Should we wait to get another Golden Retriever


Central Iowa
Unless everyone is ready to change their mindset about tethering or fencing in the new pup, I'd wait. Two run over pups in one year isn't a good indication that they're ready to dedicate the time to training.

We're going through the same thing with a goldie pup that replaced an Aussie Shepard I lost to the blacktop last spring. I had to literally scrape my dogs guts off the highway with my fingers. It was an awful experience, and the smell of blood didn't leave me for days. I swore it'd never happen again. A new fence is being built as we speak, and in the mean time, if she's outside, she's leashed.

New pups are a helluva lot more work, especially now that I'm older. I'd think twice if I were you.
