Change of plan . .

There certainly has been!
We were all set to get our little Northern Inuit pup, but due to a change in circumstances we feel that we cant provide for another large breed dog at the moment Rolling Eyes

so we are now getting a Chihuahua pup, met her today at 2 weeks old, absolutely beautiful, not one of your 'teacup' ones, a nice healthy one!
So another 6 weeks and she will be with us.
Hopefully our northern inuit will join us in another year or so when we are back on track.
wonder what people will think of us out walking the 3 big dogs and the midget Laughing

I have had a couple of strange looks when walking Hektor (a Great dane) and Giles, my brothers' cavvy!

The thing I most worry about is Hek squashing wee Giles but Hek is really still a pup (in his head at least).

good luck with your midget Laughing

cant wait to see pics!

Given the state of the health and issues with the NI at the minute I think you have made a better choice

Emma, I'm with Louise on this. I have heard and read many disturbing things of late regarding the breeding practices of some people. Others appear to be doing all they can to TRY and set things right and improve the health and well being of the dogs but they are up against some pretty determined and in some instances nasty people. IF you go ahead at ANY stage in the future please do VERY thorough research first and if you're at all concerned then walk away.

Best of luck with the little Chihuahua, look forward to seeing the pics Cool

Oh Emma, how wonderful! Are she by any chance from Vivian Silverstein in Cambuslang? I so much want a chihuahua and was all set to go and choose one on Monday last week but my sister and my mum were both dead set against it and as I rely on them to take care of Barney and Meg if I have to go away or go into hospital etc I couldn't go through with it and they both said it would upset Barney and Meg and Bubbles a lot but I don't know. I think I could have made it work. If you are getting yours from this lady do you know if she has any left? I'm getting broody again! Have you got any pics of your new baby? Please share if you have. Did you take a camera with you? Bet you can't wait till the middle of June!

NI is not a breed..and IMO will never be a breed..

The very basis of the breed is not known..all the pedigrees kept are all lies..dogs names have been changed, pedigrees made up, there are instances of VWD, HD, HC and epilepsy in the NI, The person who is supposed to be the be all end all of the breed has dog and reptile cruelty charges against her..(sorry don't know about anyone else but I have no respect for someone like this and to have her running the NIS is a joke)

The health tests are few and far between and due to the lies in the pedigree and all the name changes you could be breeding father to mother and not actually knowing..

Some of the health defects have been very very severe and the animals can be in excrutiating pain often losing their lives very very young as a result.

And don't even get me started on the breeding practices of SOME. Think puppy farms x 10 and you have the general idea. Many of the alleged NI may look healthy in their litters but due to the dubious record keeping practices only partially discovered by a few willing to TRY and put things right you can never be sure just what you are getting and whether the parents or indeed the litter started off life in said puppy farm or similar.
I'll be no more specific - sorry - because I don't want to name names on here out of respect for John & his forums' integrity but I would suggest you dig A LOT deeper into this. If you are happy with what you find then so be it but I wouldn't be Sad

I think you are far better off with the chihuahua....or even a Staffie Wink

Now, if only I could decide on a name. . .

Mine are going to be called Candy or Pippa and Pepito - Pepe for short when I get them. Yes, I intend to have two in the future, a boy and a girl. Wish I knew if Barney would accept it now. Rolling Eyes

You're so lucky to be getting one. Smile
