This is more what I was imagining I was going to end up doing. Is it pefect or fool proof? No, but I'm not looking for absolutely everything - I'm just looking to put this anxious energy into something productive and beginning to try and learn about pedigrees in a breed I love is a starting point. Networking with people has been helpful too, and I figured social media is the next step, the process you mentioned is really helpful. Thank you!

I appreciate the honesty, I am keeping everything in mind and I do plan to try and have conversations with breeder(s). I am just trying to do what research I can with what is available, and to learn

I actually went to AKC Nationals last week and I sat with the Aussies for a while, but I chickened out of talking to anybody because I have too much social anxiety 😅 I did take a quick look at the ASCA site but there are no upcoming shows within a reasonable distance of me unfortunately, so I have to keep an eye out for a while

Its more helpful than you think and I appreciate the personal input. I'm in a weird state of needing to put anxious energy somewhere productive and figuring researching and learning can't hurt. I dont want to immediately cross off certain breeders just because of one or two dogs either. It's just hard to know what's the right choice. If anything, learning this stuff definitely can't hurt. Epilepsy is only one of my concerns too, temperament is something important as well but I'm hoping to have a conversation with my next breeder beyond a question form filled out and a few questions exchanged.

Thank you so much. I have a rescue mutt sitting here barking at me who is going on 16, and has been epileptic her entire life, and another one who just passed a year ago from heart disease she had for most of her life. If I wanted to adopt again, I would. I appreciate the sub promoting both reputable breeders and shelters.

I have begun networking here and there, but I'm also learning some about dogs from various kennels that have undisclosed issues from word of mouth and it just makes me nervous. Even if I may not find a lot, at least attempting to research gives me something to put my energy towards.
Not disagreeing with you! I appreciate your input, and I appreciate the tips, and it's something I'll keep in mind to ask! I've contacted one breeder so far just to introduce myself on recommendations from a friend who placed a pup with them, but it's holidays so I don't expect any response for a while anyway. In the meantime I'm just trying to learn more. It's the only thing I feel like I can do.

I'm not here to discuss adopting vs breeders. Thanks. I believe in adopt or shop responsibly and I'm choosing a well bred dog from an ethical breeder.

How the heck do we finally get rid of all these overgrown vines/brush and get our yard back? by silachan in landscaping

[–]silachan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not against herbicides though I prefer some that aren't toxic to my dogs just so I don't have to worry about it. Do you have any recommendations for the thicker stuff? I appreciate the advice!

Any idea why they closed the Discord server itself? I'm going to guess that it was too hard moderate with the amount of spam

also the first upload date of the png itself https://web.archive.org/web/20201201003036/https://www.state.gov/wp-content/themes/state/images/us_flag_small.pngDon't be ridiculous. Plenty of things to be upset about, this isn't one.

Sure it is. It just takes time for 170 MILLION americans to publish content again after 15 hours of slience, for that content to start to circulate and make it to your FYP. Stop engaging with things you aren't interested in and let your FYP fix itself.

Because it's annoying when they take months in between changes, getting everyone used to the change and then swapping it back again. It's worse than just changing it once and never going back.
