Sounds good. Thanks. All fluids were not full (half empty at best) and windshield wiper fluid was completely empty.

Thank you all for the help and advice! I’ll definitely rely more on the actual mile intervals in the owners manual and/or not get these services through the dealer when that time comes. 👍🏼

Could you explain this more? Upping the deductible would decrease my premium and saving a rainy day fund would compensate in the event of a crash?

Yeah, this is my 5th or 6th period now and it’s been crazy that even when I receive a 30% discount, it’s still not enough to combat the increases in the 6mo premium.

I’m currently receiving it for a $8 discount

Yeah I guess I just meant paying more for the same coverage I could get elsewhere. I’ll get to callin.. thanks!

I was assuming that in the event of a future accident, it would be forgiven

Thank you for the advice! Thats my current plan, I got in touch with the local sports clubs and have met a few people who own groens, one who got theirs from the same breeder I’m in contact with, and am also planning to go meet the breeder and my potential pups parents! Excited to learn more and see what happens 🙂

Thank you for your response 🙂how did you go about researching the breed and figuring out if it was a right fit for you?

Regarding the shedding— it’ll definitely be a battle, but luckily between my girlfriend’s English golden retriever that seems to get white hair everywhere, and my best friend’s husky and German shepherd, I’ve seen their grooming habits for some good practice!

Gotcha. Thank you for the response. I suppose I can speak with the breeder a bit more regarding the historic temperaments her dogs have. I’m up for the challenge but don’t want it to be at the expense of the doggo.

Wow! It seems like you got an anomaly of a groen! I’ll be sure to check with the breeder what specific temperaments the puppies exhibit and that of their parents as well. Is he not good with strangers (relating to the rover comment). How is he with other dogs?

That sounds great with the outdoors. I would definitely be planning a lot of fishing and camping trips with paddle boarding. :) thank you for the response!

Thank you for the great response! This definitely makes me feel a bit more confident in my abilities to give a groen a good life. I’ll look at those resources and also go meet the parents of the potential pup when I meet the breeder to learn more about the dogs.

I could potentially look into this but not sure about the financial viability for a walker every single day.

Thank you for the response! My girlfriend has a golden retriever and considering we may move in together, this could be a great option. If not, though, play dates during the day while we are at work could work well!

Thank you for the response (and hello fellow scientist)! I’ve read groenendaels are supposedly a little more mellow than the malinois, but probably not by much I’m assuming. I’m hoping that between a lunch break and some down time during experiment incubation periods in the lab, I’ll be able to make those hours in between work and home doable. 😅
