Ugh....The family dog had to be put down last night.

I think I am going to get him another dog.  I'm going to wait until we close on the new estate were buying.  New house, new dog, That would make for a fresh start.

Sorry to hear about the family's loss.  I would wait a while before getting another dog for your parents though.  Good luck.

Robert, was it a german short haired dachshund? They are awesome dogs. The germans are more intelligent than their american counterparts. We had them on the farm growing up. They're one of the few breeds that is an awesome family dog/hunting dog. Seeing them go at it with a black snake was a riot!

German short hair pointer. She was a fantastic dog with an impressive pedigree.

Sorry to hear about the loss. I've been a dog man my whole life. Been raising and breeding patterdale terriers for just under 20yrs. now. Lost quite a few before their time to cars and running off to go on their own hunt. Its depressing everytime wether its an accident or old age. My faithfull hunting lab is getting up there too. He's been around since my daughter(12yrs. old) was a baby. That will be a tough one.

Definately get your father another dog soon! It works.
