I'm sure it was a very upsetting situation, I can't imagine you are "over it" yet.

A coyote entered a fenced yard with three dogs? Interesting.

I gave it a quick once-over though, and there are inaccuracies. "Yankee Terrier" isn't it's own breed/type, and they list the SBT as the "Staffordshire Terrier". I think it's cool in theory, though.

Hi Geoff....I am SO SORRY about your Beagle. What a horrible thing to have happened, I am sure you are really grieving over this.
The simple answer is, never leave dogs alone unattended in a yard together. To be honest, this sort of situation is extremely common with Pit Bulls. They may get along for a long time, and then there is a scuffle and unfortunately, Pit Bulls do fight for real as opposed to the bluffing that many other breeds do (posturing, growling, a short scuffle, then it's over). Of course, this horrible situation could have occurred with ANY dog/breeds involved - dogs fight - and sometimes kill each other. But with Pit Bulls, generally this is a pretty predictable situation.
We at RPB, which is a rescue and education org, are very adamant about educating guardians on dog-directed aggression which is common in the breed, and suggest never, ever leaving Pit Bulls unattended with other animals (other dogs, your chickens, etc).
Again, I'm really sorry this happened. RIP to your Beagle.

I believe they are all seniors. Not sure of exact ages.

I was holding my breath through half those tricks. WAY too scared my dog would get hurt, but cool in theory. That dog looks like he loves it all, though.

It's been overcast here but really no rain. I actually want it to thunderstorm tonight, once I'm home. Makes me feel cozy.

These poor guys are losing their home because their human is sick. I thought they were so cute. They've spent their whole lives together, hopefully they can be placed together. My friend is trying to find a home for them.

some folks wont go the distance with patience.. i havent used an ecollar on rufus- i probably wont as he is showing improvement. BUT- those folks that dont want to take the time and patience is what i am talking about - you know the ones, they must resolve the problem yesterday... i have tried too to talk to people about patience when training their dogs, but most of the JQ public doesnt want to hear that.. they want results yesterday.. and the jq public is not like all of us on this board, we know what we have to do we manage positively with our dogs, but the JQ Public isnt like us. (we are truly special:) awesome discussion !! Compliance is a big problem, and a lot of people get dogs with the expectation they will be robots. If a problem pops up, they better be able to fix it with a one-step cure or they can't be bothered. That's another reason aversive collars/shock collars are so popular - they imply a quick fix. Whereas positive training requires some thought and planning.

Hey Mel! I missed this post, I saw that you went to pic up Wrinkles' ashes. I know how you must have been feeling, it was really bittersweet for me when I got Luca's back. I hope having them is giving you some comfort now, though.

It's too bad they are promoting this like any "good" breeder would sell in a pet store when truly ethical breeders have pups that are sold before they are even conceived some of the time. What do they need a pet store for? What's wrong with these people? Sigh. And that ad above is sickening.

From their FB: “The ban against pet stores will not decrease or eliminate ‘substandard breeders’ but in actuality do the opposite. Shutting down good, legitimate pet stores that work with highly regulated, legitimate breeders will only force good breeders out of business. And the already ‘substandard breeders’ that sell through the black market (i.e. online pet sales, swap meets, Craigslist) will continue to flourish, causing even more of a problem.” www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/jul/07/tp-retail-pet-sales-are-abuses-widespread-or/Soooo...they are ok with selling puppies through pet stores??? Ok, another org checked OFF the list. Sigh.
