Breed restrictions? Clearly not! We even allow Chihuahuas to board with us π
But honestly Biscuit is a very special Chihuahua.
Some may remember Biscuit. It has been almost 9 years ago that I, with the help of Jennifer Hill, moved Biscuit out of a local shelter.
Not too much later Cheryl D. Witherspoon adopted this special little girl.
In all seriousness.
I was chatting with a customer and was shocked that a few kennels he reached out to had breed restrictions in place.
The customer owns a Cane Corso, 9 months old, Neutered and fully vaccinated.
He had been turned away by several boarding facility strictly because of the breed of down he owns.
NO meet and greet, no visit, just an across the board NO.
I am a strong believer in judge the individual dog and not the breed.
Some of my sweetest, friendliest, loving guests are on those "band breeds"
While I have had Mini Pins and Cattle Dogs want to remove my hands from my body.
Sure there are certain breeds I am a bit more hesitant with, but I would never turn a dog away without meeting them first.
I have had Akitas, Chows and Scottish Terriers here and those are a few of my "red flag" dogs
If I didn't give them a meet and greet, I would have missed out on certain dog breeds that showed me, judge the dog not the breed.
I have also turned away one of my favorite breeds, the GSD, due to unstable behavior on a meet and greet.
Turned away a Catahoola and Chihuahuas as well
Judge the individual dogs!
