so many poopies

well we din have much planned for today but on a spur of the moment we decided to go look at home breeders and the pups they are offering. Specifically golden retrievers and huskies. Oh we did squeeze in one pembrooke corgie owner just cos they are so cute.
First stop was to the corgie owners. Man their house was nice. And lots of animals too. Turtle in the pond (looks like those u can cook soup with), 2 large wall fish tanks and 6 puppies and 2 proud parents. The pups were really cute and young. Stumbling over each other and having their own little playful moments here and there. The mom was extraordinarily active and kept running circles around me and wifey. We did get lotsa information abt how to tell how good looking a pet can be and how it will determine the price that breeders will ask for. That visit was certainly an eye-opener in more ways than one :)
Next we went to visit a Golden Retriever home breeder. Initially when we saw him carrying a crate out in a plastic bag and then placing it horizontally on the floor, we were quite shocked. I mean this must be some new fangled way of carrying pups that we never knew of! (kidding). Then when we saw the pups, our hearts just melted. 2 of them tottering and waddling around the carpark floor (yes we viewed the pups at a carpark... go figure.....like we were trading weed or something...) Moms and Bros-in-law were smitten as well by the 2 cute pups. Dunno what else i can say but they were sure damm cute and were quite docile after we placed them on our arms and carried them properly. Though this could also be because they just woke up and haven't got their wits about them yet. :)
Then we actually got to visit a Husky championship dog breeder who was featured on the newspapers. Man the information he provided us was astounding. He is the type that really breed them for competitions and is very particular about everything about them. Lineage, exercise (he has treadmills to exercise them) and all that jazz. The whole 9... no 10 yards! Though i am left wondering if he's treating the dogs less as pets and more as something else.... which might not be something we both want..... though it certainly is tempting to get the P in pedigree (hmmm that din sound right.. but u get what i mean :P )
Finally we saw an apt that is kinda filled with dogs and pups.... though it was owned by 1 owner who has a weekly maid to clean up the place.... in a nutshell... it was kinda scary the condition of the place and how many pets there are in the place (pups and parents included).... we saw around 5-6 adults and maybe abt 6 pups in the place? we were quite appalled at the condition of the place and how these pups seemed to be brought up!

so.... in summary today we got to see the best of the best doggies (and they looked dammm good...fierce royal looking dogs) to the worst conditions that doggies seemed to be kept. Though i know it might pale in comparison to some of the damm jialat conditions pets can be found in.. but for today at least and for us, it definitely was an eye-opener for us.

closest we ever got today to having dogs was with the golden retriever pups :)
they sure are heart melters!

Go us!
