Title: What do you guys think? Post by: TimmsHogDogs on August 29, 2014, 12:58:14 pm I posted in the dog trade. I think we're about to re home all four of our dogs. 2 untrained 2 fully trained pretty sure I'm just gonna give them away. My trained ones are older and none of my dogs have been hunted in almost 2 years.
Reason behind it. My husband joined the Army. I have 3 kids and work full time as well as go to college. I cannot take care of them the way they should be cared for. I feel guilty though. Molly is 12 and we have had her since she was 6 weeks old. Jahsper is 8 and we have had him since he was 8 weeks. I love them a lot but I know that it is not fair to make them live in kennels when they were bred to hunt. Do you guys think I am making the right decision? Title: Re: What do you guys think?

Title: Re: Post by: TimmsHogDogs on August 29, 2014, 06:47:18 pm Thank you :) I've been kinda on the fence about it all
Title: Re: What do you guys think? Post by: hoghunter71409 on August 29, 2014, 07:08:27 pm I think you are making a good decision; I think you should make SURE they go to a good home. I would make a deal with the person that gets them. Deal is, if the dogs end up making real nice dogs and the new owner decided to breed the dogs one day, you get the option on getting a pup. I think that is fair.
I gave two dogs away when I was in the Army. I was a single Officer deploying to Iraq, I had no choice. Title: Re: What do you guys think? Post by: Bowhunter1994 on August 29, 2014, 11:28:03 pm I would give them to someone that will give you those bloodlines back if you would want em.
