And who will hold the Human responsible for not keeping a check on their ego? For getting a breed which doesn't suit their needs? For paying cheap money and buying from puppy mills? For not making the effort to invest in the life of a dog..your duty doesn't end by just getting a dog, fixing him a trainer, buying him food and giving him shelter..do you invest in the life of the dog? Do you live your bit? Do you understand the needs of the dog? Are you giving him an environment that is stress free? There's a whole lot to it..So please stop banning the Breed.

Ban the IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOURS OF HUMANS who are zero at self awareness. A human who cannot handle himself is NOT fit in my opinion to handle a dog that is bred for these characteristics.

India First & Always 🇮🇳 Happy 75th Republic Day 🫡

Unfortunate and deeply regretted. Dog training, boarding and anything related to livestock is never easy. It takes so much mental, physical and spiritual strength and tests you in every way. It definitely is not for the faint hearted. Sadly activists will jump in, many will have different types of opinions & emotions about it, what doesn't change is the fact that one dog has lost its life by going in the wrong hands. Repeated requests to humans to do their research, not play with nature's cycle and they fail everytime. Then you go on and hype up. A dog trainer getting fed up of the barks haha, joke of the century! Simply proves you chose the wrong profession, unaware of your own abilities.

This also makes me bring to limelight the way people have jumped in the Pet Care industry more so post lockdown taking it as another lucrative 'business opportunity'. Stay away would be a genuine suggestion unless you're ready & willing to test your life & are crazily passionate about the work & want to bring a difference in the lives of humans & dogs.

KIND ATTENTION ~ PET INDUSTRY PEEPS! Long post alert ~ It's quite unfortunate that I have to resort to social media to report such matters but I have no choice.

Working in the Pet Industry as a CCC dog trainer & running boarding services We're MAD ~ Mad About Dogs for the last 12 years & Petdeals since 3 years, I've been dealing with Rohan Mahale, a dog breeder (Pune) for arranging healthy puppies for my clients & friends as and when anyone approached me. I got to know him through my dear friend & industry person Priya (Peppy Paws, Pune), for whom he worked years back.

On 4th March 2023, I had called for a Dalmatian puppy through him for a dear friend of mine in Indore. Knowing that Dalmatians are usually deaf & blind and that most breeders do not breed them, I had advised my friends not to go for the breed too. On my friend's insistence and as promised by Rohan that the pups are from another trusted breeder, we called for the pup by paying full advance (as the way it works in our industry). Within 2 days we realised that the pup was unable to hear and was only sometimes reactive to high pitched sounds. He also seemed fearful and showed little signs of aggression. After consulting 2 renowned veterinary doctors in Indore, on 6th March it was confirmed that the pup is deaf and might show signs of dumbness in future as well. When we informed Rohan, he confessed that the pup was not from a breeder but arranged through some Ganesh from Nasik who in turn got the pup from someone who had HOME BRED the Dalmatian pups.

Infuriated and shocked by his dishonesty and breach of trust of the last 12 years, I asked him to immediately arrange for a call back of the pup and return the amount I've paid to him. On 10th March the pup was sent to Nasik through a transporter and handed over to the family who bred him.

It was decided between Rohan & I that we will bear the transportation & miscellaneous cost but he would return me the amount for the pup within a week. Since this was the first time I faced such an issue in my dealings, I returned the amount from my own pockets to my friend and waited for Rohan to pay me back. Rohan has been delaying making unlimited excuses, failing to adhere to committed dates as promised by himself, agreeing on repaying in parts through his job or through expected breedings of his own Golden Retriever pups or even adjusting the amount with another pup. However none of it has been fulfilled to date and lately he has stopped replying to my messages and even taking our calls. He's even deleted his Facebook account or has maybe blocked me. His Instagram account is https://instagram.com/rohanmahale27 .

This has forced me to take action against him by reporting it to the police station submitting all the proofs. I'm aware that my money might never come back but it is crucial now to pull up such people publicly, who being a KCI accredited breeder of Labrador & Golden Retriever himself, supports unethical & illegal home breedings that encourage puppy mills. It's also important to bring to the notice of the fraternity that we need to be very careful in our dealings with these kind of people (even though we might be knowing them for years) as it puts our names at risk of such unhealthy and unfair practices.

It is my sincere request to all my trainer, breeder, handler, transporter friends, respected & honorable KCI judges, veterinary doctors to not support such people & the esteemed Kennel Club of India to cancel licences of such breeders & disqualify them from participating in any of the Dog Shows across India. This would serve as justice to one and all 🙏🏼

Stop sympathising and doing more harm than good..ADOPT DONT SHOP is NOT for EVERYONE 🐶🐾🦴

People often feel sorry for an adopted dog and so they initially take time off work to help it settle in, taking it for long walks and spending extra time with the dog. But when they finally go back to work, the dog gets distressed with the abrupt change in routine.
A newly adopted dog is often very insecure in a new environment. It is your job as his new family to build his confidence and convince him that he and you are here to stay. Dogs find comfort and stability in a fixed routine, so try and keep your and his daily activities as consistent as possible. It will help him adjust quickly to his new home and teach him that he can depend on you. So start as you mean to go on and get the dog used to your lifestyle from day one.

Repost from DogSpot ~
"I found DogSpot Meals at the right time to feed my senior dogs who need to maintain the right weight, best of health & nutrition in their crucial years. I am a fan of the quality of food because the results have been absolutely amazing. Their coats are shinier & soft, weight has become balanced and they gulp down the yummy food. Also it's easy to use, preservative free, easy to digest & nutritious."
