We have been having fun lately with the question:
If Peter Piper,
instead of picking pickled peppers,
had to pick a puppy for Peppermint Patty,
what breed of puppy would Peter Piper pick?
Would he pick the same puppy for his parents?
We will be presenting a workshop with handouts at the Fundulac Park administration building (201 Veterans Drive, East Peoria, IL) on Thursday, May 14 at 7 pm. If you can not make that day, we will be presenting the workshop again on Tuesday, May 19 at 7 pm.
Handouts to cover the material and light refreshments (from Vertucci's) will be available.
Our goal is to help families make sure they pick the best 'fit' for their family. We will go through some questions for the individuals to ask themselves, and what fit of dog is best for them.
The biggest challenge is that so many folks fall in love with a well behaved dog they see on Television. It may be during a dog show, or on Animal Planet, but they think the dog is very cute or pretty. That is nice, but dogs were bred for a purpose for hundreds, if not thousands of years, and if you are not familiar with that purpose, you may be asking for a Cub and Cardinal fan to have both their teams in the World series.
It can never happen, because it just does not fit.
Sometimes that is the case with a specific breed and a family.
We will explore that in depth at the workshop.
There is no registration fee, and the class is open to the public. Anyone and everyone can come.
