Hello from Manitoba
In addition to him being a breed we were unfimilar with, he is also deaf so we put quite a bit of thought & research into this decision. Between first being interested in adopting Duffie to when we actually brought him home we had about 4 weeks of research as well as 3 visits with him. We wanted to be sure our lab as well as our daughter were compatiable with Duff as he had already be adopted out & returned once and we didn't want to cause any extra upheaval in his life. We spent alot of time at deafdogs.org as well as oes.org! I checked a couple local groomers for pricing & anyother info they would share. We had friends who thought what's the big deal, just get the dog & deal with whatever comes up. IMO between that opinion & puppy mills, that is why there are so many animals in shelters. Nuff said - we couldn't be happier with Duffie! His personality appears to be "typical" of the breed. But we still have questions that are best answered buy other OES owners so I've finally registerd & will be posting as I need help! (and I'll try not to be so long winded) |

| Welcome from Melbourne, Aust.
I believe you are right, it is so important to research first rather than regret latter. |
