Hello to all of my dog-lover friends. As you can see on my avatar on this "dog's interest", the brown dog is the mother of our 5 pups right now which already almost on their adolescent stage. I was not in favor of nursing it all because of the shortness of space in our home. With 2 females and 3 males as they grown up, space becomes narrower for them to breath. What worries me much is these three males whom I know they are territorial by nature. My partner attached so much with them and she would not like to give to any of our friends because she would miss them surely. My only solution on this problem is transfer to another place that would be spacious for to move. Looking for another place would be so expensive and I am right now at the status of scarcity. What would you suggest my friends/ Any idea my friends? Mobhomeir here..

In life you must have some choices. You must stay with a dog if you like animals. And the rest sell or give away to people that love animals. Its better for you and them. If they will get territorial in a short time you will have big problems. So get rid of them, sell them because if they will attack each other you will have to go to the veterinary to treat the wounds. And that will cost you even more, now being in a state of scarcity, then you will be in a poorer state with the cost of the treatments. and think those dogs eat a lot.

I tell you a thing. Go away for a week from home. Say you have been send from your job to another town. Then let her handle the dogs alone for a week and this surely will change her opinion. She will not be prepared to handle all the dogs, to clean after them , to play, go walking and feed them. She will start to hate dogs and she will sell them after all.

hello Martin, Try to explain to your wife that no matter how she loves the pups,she needs to give those cute pups. Look for trusted person whom she knows loves dogs and will surely took care of your pups. My kids are always like that everytime our female dog gave birth. They don't want the pups to given away,because my kids loves dogs a lot esp pups. We have a big space at home (backyard) luckily to have a space in this crowded metro city. We can accommodate a dozen dogs,but how about the maintenance(foods etc). So i have to explain to them,every time the pups are ready to be separated from the mother dog. Thu most of the time it made my youngest son frown and sour graping the whole day,he don't want to talk to me when i've given away the pups. But i always leave one pup for my youngest son,as his buddy(this kiddo loves dog so much) Send me one

I also have pomereian dog, and I love him so much. If the problem is the space for your pet.. Maybe that's good way to try to find out larger space for them if there is already available that you know, and if your partner so much attached with them and would not like to give to any maybe you should try to talk first and have an agreement how to handle your dogs to make them more comfortable to both of you. I'm sure that there's no problem couldn't be solve without a proper conversations. good luck

Thanks mel..yes we've talked about that before while pups could still be given because they were still 2 months old but now that they've grown up I think it would be hard for someone to take care for that since they are already big enough to have a new guardian. Yes I plan to have a new bigger place but as of now I need more budget for that...thanks for the advise and concern.. I appreciate it .. Mobhomeir here..

oh my God...so sorry...I don't feel your case to be abandonment wich I hate and defend animals always, it's really difficult and you understand dogs very well, there are indeed the dominants and the most passive ones... i think they are miss you dearly if you do that, they say when you have a dog you can't leave them anymore cause they never forget, could I ask as an animal lover to another to you find just one specific book about it, the dominant dogs, about this subject before you actually give them away? after that... as much as I want to help I really don't know for example how to calm they down for example, but what I know dear if is there a problem between the dominants once they show who are the bosses and be clear about the fight just stop! I wish you guys could wait but again, it's not my house and it's not my place to say it. I really wanted to help making you guys staying all together...

It is true I really love our dogs but am not showing it fully to my wife so I could decide what to do with my 5 pups which is really against my well if i would give them away...but if there would be another way to let them stay with us forever I would do that..thanks for your concern again.. Have a nice day ahead... Mobhomeir here

maybe you can ask your neighbors to take care one of the puppies, in that way, you partner can visit each pups easily. because moving to another place is expensive! hope this advice can help =)

I have five mixed spitz terrier dogs, what I did was when they are already too crowded I arrange for them to be transfered to my moms house cause it's more spacious and there will be individuals to take care of them but before that I brief their guardians to follow such regiments so that the dogs may not feel abandoned I bought their favorite food for the week or so and have them check up by the vet.

As the males get older, they will become a bit more aggressive to one another unless you have them "fixed." Even then, they might be territorial. It will be expensive, but it might not be a bad idea to get them fixed. If not, you may have more puppies before you know it. Good luck.

That's really a tough one! I told you, just give "bitoy" to me and I will take good care of him! (do i remember the name right? hehe he's the black one right?) I think its not good that your wife becomes too attached with these pups, you should have distribute those cute pups to us your friends while they are still small! haha I hope that your wife will soon understand how difficult your situation is, with all those pets and your scarcity these days...huh! tsk... tsk... but, i can't really blame her, coz those puppies are really cute and adorable!

This really is a tough one...all I can think of is to give them to any friends that live close enough for your wife to be able to see them often enough. You've got to convince your wife that it probably had to happen eventually, and that it's better that it happens now than when it's too late. I hope I helped even a little. Good luck.

One good idea my friend. But, so far I don't have any one in my neighbors whom I think a pet lover. Am sure if there would just even one I guess my wife would not hesitate to give one to them. Thanks for the concern my friend..I appreciate it .. Mobhomeir here..
