Sorry my quote button isn't working today!

I'm not 'demanding' scientific evidence. I just think this is huge decision and when someone continually tells me I am wrong, I would like evidence not just opinion.

I'm sorry, but saying you're right because of what you have experienced and what you see is 'fact' is not right. I've seen dogs go through great stress and not deal well at all with similar arrangement. Does that mean I'm right because of what I've seen? Does that make my opinion fact? No.

Earlier you mentioned your GSD bitch. Was she purebred? From reputable breeder? if so you know her genetic code, Danielle has said Cody from BYB. I've seen dogs from puppymills develop OCD and other stress disorders from change. Without knowing if Cody is prepositioned to these kind of illness, you cannot say it is fact that he will be fine. I'm not meaning to say Cody is doomed, but these are serious risk you take and I really think putting Cody at risk should be last last option. I also haven't intended to give the impression that Cody will have some kind of issue, I'm just saying it is a definite risk.

Danielle, I can't help but wonder why on earth you got a dog if after two years you're sending him away for at least two years. Perhaps this whole experience will show you how committed you need to be to your pet before you start showing dogs like you want. I'm not trying to be cruel, I just think Britster is right. Dog is 100% commitment, not a toy.
