A. Unless your male is a champion bird dog in field trials, or a superior example of his breed - he should not be bred at all. And then, he should only be bred to continue this own breed, not crossed on another breed to make mixed breed puppies.
There is no reason for anyone to be breeding "pet" dogs, the world is way over populated with nice, gentle, caring dogs that are being euthanized by the millions every year. Look at your local shelter or humane society - ours are filled with hunting dogs and pet dogs of all kinds. There are more dogs being produced than there are homes for them.
Just neuter your dog and enjoy him for the delightful companion that he is - don't add to the over population problem.

What could be a slogan I could use?

A. I would recommend putting your name and phone number on there, plus hours or days you will sit. I would make them very attractive by making them in bright colored paper and put some really cute pictures of dogs and cats on there. Also, if you are willing (and strong enough) write on it that you will walk dogs and/or do cat boxes etc.
Where to find a home for a seizure alert dog?
Q. A friend has a trained seizure-alert dog that needs a new home (previous owner unable to care for dog now).
Since there aren't any dedicated service organizations in the US for seizure alert dogs, she is having trouble finding a family for the dog. Any ideas on where to look? The dog is a "working dog" and needs to have the job she was trained for -- life as an ordinary pet isn't working out.
