Being such a rare breed, where are these dogs coming from? Already they are appearing in shelters! These dogs are obviously being sold to ***anyone*** who has the money! This dog is only 8 months old, neutered and is dumped because he "kept getting out of his fence"???? Who's fault is that??? Folks, your alarm bells should be going off! The TRD IS NOT THE BREED FOR ANYONE OR EVERYONE. They look cool...so what if they fall into the hands of anyone. They are not an easy breed to live with. We have the black TRD in California, the fawn TRD in California and now the red TRD in Virginia. How did these dogs come to the USA. Were they born in the US or were they imported? I think this should be investigated and published. Ann |

I bet they were imported, Im sure we can figure out from where... makes me sick to see them in rescue if I had the room I would go get them myself. If they are not imported and are fromt he US I bet the parents were imported to someone who is in it for the money.

I appreciate everyoness concerns, but unfortunatley,I do not have the answers.I hope to assit in finding these dogs new homes,and have been successful with a few in the past. I can only take resposibility for what I do, not someone else.I admit some of the reasons for surrender are absurd. But that is people for you.When something isnt easy, better to just rid yourself of the problem.Unfortunately these are living creatures.People just dont want to put the time or expense needed with these dogs.Training, behaviorists etc.The only thing breeders can really do is try to be more selective and as honest as possible about them. Aggressive tendencies, behaviors need to be put on the table right form the start.I know this is what I do, and I know I have turned people off to them as well. Maybe I am just brutally honest, but I want to make sure every owner was completely educated and advised before jumping in.I am prepared to take any dog back I breed,and keep close contact with all owners to ensure all is well.

James, Thank You so much for getting involved with these rescues! As for you being brutally honest, if more were like you these dogs would not end up in rescue. Thanks again James....Ann |

James and all,
JS often lists where he is shipping his pups but if they are from him - I don't think anyone wants to pay shipping back after all it is just a "dog".
Tina, Jack claimed to bring them here in 1994 right James?
Problem is someone else could have brought them in and not said anything. I don't believe the US is that tight on breeds brought in so it would be impossible to know for sure.
A small group such as ours cannot control the spreading of this breed to people that believe they could "handle" it.
No dog group has that kind of control or power.
The dog laws in some of the countries represented in this group have very strict control of import, transport, and breeding. There are other countries that don't.
I believe this is one reason "our" TRDs are in trouble. Improper breeding can alter a breed more rapidly than controlled breeding.
James, this is what Cathy was running into, I'm sure and this is only one of the breeds she deals with.

Hi Jo ann.it seems to happen in 3s.i remember about a year or so ago,maybe a little more,the same thng happend. 3 in a row.i was able to help 2,but one was put down.another fawn TRD girl.I dont think it is preventable, but I think for myself it is.Dogs will end up in shelters.I think we all jsut need to tighten are belt buckles some more,and try to keep this to a bear minimum.James |

I have volunteered with our local animal shelter for...well...let's just say too dang many years (I hate to admit to being this old!).
It is disheartening to hear some of the reasons people give up dogs. I think the one that made me maddest was a woman who had a new boyfriend that didn't like the dog...so she got rid of the dog. Personally, I think she got rid of the wrong one.
I have been out to pickup dogs tied in back yards after the family moved...and left no food or water for the dog. I have seen dogs with a collar so small their neck skin started to grow around the collar. Some of these you're almost happy their owners gave them up or left them so you could rescue them.
Just yesterday a dog was brought to the shelter after getting loose. The owner came to the shelter but said she couldn't take the dog home right then because she had a flight early this morning. She'd be back in town Friday and take care of it then.
Some folks just shouldn't be allowed to have pets.
