Re: Now she needs a name
Shy was moved on to trail horse and brood mare (at someone else's house) in late September, 2014. She was not happy as a field trial horse, so she's been replaced by Encore & Scout. Encore is a coming 4 yr old. He's doing GREAT! http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c383/travelerGirl/encore6_zpselfkz4rt...

So we went from giving an opinion on who the best dual champions were/are, to bashing duals, to bashing Brittany trials. VERY productive and I'm sure will help grow the sport.

So switch his food back to whatever you were feeding before Pro Plan and see if the sores & itching go away. You should know in as little as few days. If the itching continues and the sores don't begin to heal, it's probably a seasonal allergy, and one that severe will require meds from your vet. An...

Re: What would you do
Puppy pricing can be quite geographical. I bought a pup in NJ for $1000, and 3 yrs later bought another from southern IL for $500. My $500 puppy has 27 adult field trial placements, including a placement at Nationals. Both are great dogs, but because of where I bought them, the prices varied GREATLY.

Once dog 1 is easy to live with but not so old that a pup will drive him/her nuts and is still in good health and should be for a couple years, which usually means sometime between 2 and 10 yrs of ago.
