Choosing a Dog

Posted by Schnoodle Mummy | Posted in Dog Rescue | Posted on 20-11-2014

Recently I have been helping out in an animal rescue charity and it breaks my heart when animals are handed in to the charity for rehoming because the dog was ‘not what they expected’ as happened recently.  A young staffie was handed in by the owners and the list of things ‘wrong’ with the dog were endless.  As an observer it was not my place to ‘splurt’ out chastising comments to the owners who clearly had not researched the needs of breeds before purchase.

Thankfully for this young dog, 9-months old, the outcome was good, she was rehomed with new owners who matched with the dogs needs perfectly and the story has a happy ending.

I appreciate, especially working at the charity, that sometimes circumstances are outside of our control that dictate that animals have to be rehomed.  For example changes in family circumstances, loss of jobs, loss of homes, illness and death but I find it infuriating when animals are ‘disposed’ of when the owners haven’t done their best by the animals.

So, when choosing a dog what must we think of first?  Should we start our search by how pretty that dog is?  Boy there are some ‘corkers’ out there, fluffy, silky, cute faces, would they look great with our pram or in my new bag or in the front of my car driving around with me.  NO, NO, NO, this is not the way to go, STOP right now…….

Start with the basics.  How much time do I have available to provide a dog with cuddle time, exercise time, feeding time and training time.  What is my living environment like, do I have a home with a garden or outdoor space suitable for play and exercise.  Does the breed I like have any special needs, high energy, grooming, special diet or health challenges.

Of course one of the most important things to consider is can I afford to look after a dog including its vet care costs for at least the next 10 – 15 years or so.

I hear it many times when people decide they want a dog, they start with the ‘cuteness factor’ as top  of their list.  Please consider the needs of any dog seriously before deciding on the ideal dog for you and your circumstances.

On a final note I will finish by telling you one of the reasons that the young staffie pup was handed in for rehoming.  The owner said the puppy would not sit still during TV time.  Had she of spent time exercising with and playing with the dog she might well have settled down but this dogs needs were not put first and someone else had to take responsibility for rehoming their mistake.  How many animal rescue homes are full of ‘mistakes’

Karen, a Schnoodle breeder based in the Manchester area, sent me a picture of her recent litter of Schnoodles, who are now ready to go to their ‘fur-ever homes’  Soft and curly the little bundle of fluff will make excellent companions for lucky new owners.

As you know I love this cross-breed of dog for many reasons, they are low to no moulting dogs, they don’t smell doggy, they are great fun dogs, they don’t require huge amounts of exercise (like some dogs) and they fit in lovely with families.

All the pups from this litter have been reserved and will shortly leave to join their new families.

Karen has another litter due shortly from one of her other females called Sylvie, this will be the last litter for a year until around Oct 2015.

Saffron the Schnoodle’s pups are now 6 days old and thriving. Already 7 out of the 9 pups are reserved by new owners.  Karen breeds home bred puppies from her much loved pets and she is the proud owner of Mum Saffron and Dad Paddington, aka Paddy.  Paddy is a rare red coloured poodle and a very handsome lad too.  Mum Saffron is a cream/apricot coloured Schnoodle.

I have to say having owned two schnoodle pups who are now 5 and 18 months old the breed is fantastic for the family owner. My dogs, both boys, mix with well with younger members of our family.  The big bonus in owning Schnoodles is the lack of fur that they moult, almost non existent in fact.  My boys get a walk 3 times a day but they are not high energy dogs that need massive amounts of walking.

The pups, 6 boys and 3 girls are rare reds, fox and medium shades and apricot.

Karen the Schnoodle breeder and I keep in regular contact about her litter of puppies, frankly it is because I like Karen, although we have never met and I am

envious of her being around puppies all day, personally this would be heaven to me.  The pups are now 1 week old and progressing well.  Karen only has 2 of the 6 left unreserved.  The pups are raised in a home environment and her dogs are much loved family pets.

If one of these pups is for you don’t delay in getting in touch with Karen. Genuine enquiries only, no time-wasters.  Puppies to good homes only.

Amazing Schnoodle Hero

I just wanted to share with you an email I received yesterday from a schnoodle owner called Hilary.  She wanted to tell me about her 6 month old pup Harley.

Harley the Hero Schnoodle

Harley the Hero Schnoodle

 

‘I have a gorgeous boy Harley from Karen’s dogs Saffron and Sebastian. He is the
most cheekiest, loveable & mischievous puppy ever. Harley protects his partner
in crime 4 year old Murphy my poodle cross cavalier. He also jumped in front of
my daughter and I recently when an escaped Alsatian came running at us barking
and barring teeth amazingly he ran off the Alsatian and even though the Alsatian
kept trying Harley would not let it near us or Murphy, he did get pushed over by
the Alsatian and hurt his tail ( recovering now) but what an amazing boy he is.’

He look a very handsome boy.  Harley, as you can see from Hilary’s email is one of a litter of pups bred by Karen.  Karen has a new litter by a different set of parents, all but 2 have now been reserved and they are less than a week old.  If you want more information about Karen’s pups see previous post or next post.
