Happy Easter Monday to one an all.
We have a bit of a dilemma which I would like to share and take your advice on. Our German Shepherd (Honey) is 14 and unless she has caught some sort of bug I reckon in the next day or so she will have to be put to sleep.
A little history. Four years ago we had 3 dogs and 12 cats. We are now down to 1 dog and 4 cats from the 3 and 12 that we had all due to age and sickness and some not that old. In Feb 06 we lost my jack russell cross buster at age 16 and it broke our heart, Kerry said thats it no more, and so in March 06 we bought another male Jack puppy (Ozzy). It took Honey a day to accept Ozzy. Honey has a fantastic temperament, never bit a soul, but her bark and her size keeps the undisirables away. Ozzy although a terrier and unlike Buster has not got an aggresive bone in his body. Although he was one year old in Jan 07 he is a very young (baby) dog if you know what I mean.
So the dilemma. Obviously Ozzy is going to miss Honey terribly. Some friends say that it could turn him into an aggresive dog at his frustration of Honey's loss.
So do we get another dog for Ozzy, preferably another shepherd. If so do any of you guys and girls know any reputable breeders out there. Maybe another Jack, my sister says get another female but as Ozzy is so subserviant I do not think this will be an issue.
thanks for listening, G
