E.w. Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I was looking to buy a lab bitch, and was told of a keeper who had lost his job after 27 years of sevice, shoot closeing down. Anyway a quick call to the keeper and chat resulted in me going to see the lab bitch. I was given a demo of her at work, I was very pleased, but with further conversation he told me his clumber bitch was in need of a good home. He looked me straight in the eye and told me give my clumber a good home and I'll give you the lab for free, the only other thing I ask is that you give me the last bitch puppy from the litter. Well both dogs are now in my kennels and are great. I gave him a shake hands and my word and he would ask no more of me, one hell of a man, i left with the dogs and could see a tear in his eye, a sad ending for a man that given everything to his trade.

Big Al Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I can't imagine how he's feeling. That has got to be devastating - and to have part with the dogs too. I suspect he will take consolation from the dogs having gone to a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
