My manager told me of the recent, tragic death of her daughter and son-in-law’s Pudelpointer, and I thought I’d pass it along with the hopes that it won’t happen to someone else’s dog.
Her daughter and son-in-law had the pup only had 3 months, drove to Oregon to pick it up, and it apparently had the makings for a really nice bird dog.
Then a few days ago, her daughter came home from work to find that the pup had hung itself in it’s kennel – it was devastating for the young couple.
I don’t know the details but assume that its collar may have became caught on the kennel somehow.
I recently read that dogs should have their collars removed when crated or kenneled, but check your kennels and crates as well for anything that could harm them. (Mia got 2 of her toes caught in her crate door last week while trying to push it open, but luckily we were home at the time)
