We have had the pleasure of enriching the lives of many with our dogs and we hope we can do the same for you. But this is not a "puppy-on-demand" operation and at times there may be a lengthy wait for a puppy. Considering the life-long commitment you are prepared to make by adopting a puppy into your family, such a delay might be considered of minimal consequence.
A dog is not
"almost human" and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to
describe it as such. ~John Holmes
For any questions about your puppy or the puppy's care, contact High Lonesome Ranch Kennel
1.
Exercise your dog - This is the most important thing to do - before
your love and affection even!!
2.
Raise the dog in love and proper discipline so that he/she grows to be a good
dog citizen - there are many good training programs to guide you. I highly
recommend
Cesar
Millan "The Dog Whisperer"
3. Maintain proper
weight
4. The owner agrees
to keep, house, and properly care for this dog for the entire length of his/her
life
5.
The caregiver understands and agrees that all responsibility of the dog's care:
feeding, grooming, cleaning up after, exercise, and training are solely their
own responsibility, not that of other family members in the household,
especially children.
6. As an adult you
understand that it is necessary to teach your children responsibility, but
please be there for the children's guidance and not the puppy's neglect.
7. It is understood
by you that this puppy is like a newborn baby , completely dependent on you for
all their needs.
DID YOU KNOW??? Don't pet your puppy to calm him when he's afraid. This will make him think acting fearfully is correct. Praise him when he is brave., and do not let your tension be felt by him.
Did you know??? Dogs are mentioned 14 times in the Bible
"A good dog deserves a good bone." -Ben Jonson
IF I DIDN’T HAVE DOGS…
-I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.
-My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
-All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.
-When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel.
-I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into
consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to get
comfortable.
-I would not have strange presents under my Christmas tree - dog bones,
stuffed animals, toys, and treats nor would I have to explain to people
why I wrap them.
-I would have money and no guilt to go on a real vacation.
-I would not be on a first-name basis with 4 veterinarians, as I put their
yet
unborn grand kids through college.
-The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come,
no, stay,
and leave him/her/it ALONE.
-My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.
-My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.
-My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra
leash..
-I would no longer have to Spell the words B-A-L-L-, F-R-I-S-B-E- E,
W-A-L-K,
T-R-E-A-T or R-I-D-E.
-I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.
-I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog/cat ties them
down too much.
-I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading "muddy"
season.
-I would not have to answer the question "Why do you have so many animals?"
from people
who do not have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved
unconditionally by
someone as close to an angel as they will ever get.
If I didn't have dogs ................... How empty my life would be.
Something to think about....
If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
America's Animal Shelters: Know where your money goes!
First they Came for the Cows: In 2006 a USDA mandate called National Animal Identification System (NAIS) came to the attention of a middle-aged homesteader in NW Vermont and she finds herself thrown into the role of a reluctant activist. First They Came for the Cows is a fictionalized account of her experience.
Do
you know the difference between Animal Rights and Animal Welfare?? Know
the difference!!!
A direct quote from PETA:
" The cat, like the dog, must
disappear... We should cut the domestic animals free from our dominance by
neutering, neutering and more neutering, until our pathetic version of the
domestic pet ceases to exist."--John Bryant, (PeTA,)
Guide to
America's Shelters: Humane Society, ASPCA, and more...
PETA euthanized nearly 2,000 animals in
2005, the last year figures were available from the Virginia Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services!!
