    @Schouiffy: The only older Dog organization en Suisse I have heard of is http://www.oasis-des-veterans.com but I dont know if she matches up older dogs with older ppl - she does adopt them out though. =) made my heart melt, and my eyes get a bit watery - so I had to "godparent" a dog. That's a good idea to become a godmother, I'll check the site; I felt like you when a saw a program on TV, as the person who looks after older dogs lets elderly people adopt them and if they die, she takes the dogs back! All the dogs were crippled, half blind, no teeth, etc,etc, I was nearly in tears at the end of the programme, getting too sentimental I think! Saying that, the dogs looked much happier than a lot of elderly people in old people's homes!

    <> Well, supposed to be...that is advertising. I have lots of clients with problem 'labradoodles' and 'goldendoodles' and 'puggles'. They are no more or less likely to be the 'perfect' dog than any dog who was adopted from a shelter, or purchased from a breeder. Again, you can't MAKE a perfect dog for everybody...and IMO there are plenty of dogs out there to choose from, to find the best fit for anybody.

    Random comments on the "kill shelter" vs. "no-kill shelter" thing- I work for a no-kill shelter that rescues dogs from local kill shelters. We take ANY dog that is about to be euthanized. We have taken ones that are missing body parts (eyes, limbs, tails), we take ones that are really sick and we take ones that are really old. We have some that become "shelter sweethearts", dogs that can't get adopted and become permanent residents of the shelter or go to one of our foster homes. And TONS of puppies get euthanized all the time.

    I have a neutered male and people always mistake him for a female - I assume because they dont see any dangling "monkey brains" ….lol. In general, aren't females smaller in frame than males? I have noticed that females are usually smaller. But as mentioned by someone, if ppl arent familiar with the breed they wont know the difference.
