top dog kennels york image

Hello!
I'm 21, female, and I live at home with my parents. I have a 2 year old Yorkie/Maltese mix and I really love him, I have him since he was 7 weeks old. A few things have changed at home, I have graduated recently from a medical assistant program and although I haven't found a job yet I am looking for one, so eventually I won't be at home as much. My parents have no problem with him other than the fact that they have just had a baby who is now one year old, and well there are some issues with the baby and the dog.
We live in an apartment in New York, I always wanted a dog, I am a very lonely person when it comes to friends or my social life and even if this sounds funny to some people my dog has helped me a lot in that area, I have him to play around with, I am very close to him, he is also very attached to me.
Now that I have graduated my goal is to work hard and save up to move out eventually (obviously it'll take me a while) I would love for things to be as easy as saying "I'll move out and take him with me" but I have to be realistic and know that right now things are a bit hard at home. I think I would have to explain so much in order for you to understand me, long story short I have been having family issues and I myself no longer feel comfortable at home, but I have no other option than to wait until things are better for me to leave. When it comes to my dog I feel that he doesn't fit in as before, not because of me, I love him, but with certain things regarding home and the people I live with.
I have tried ignoring the thought but I can't avoid it and must face it, I have been considering the possibility of finding him a new home, or look into one of the city's shelter (I live in New York, I might have to do some more research on these places but I know there are organizations I could take him to) but the emotional part sets in and I can't imagine walking away from him and just leaving him.
Regardless of whether you can relate to my personal issues at home or not I know for a fact that there must be people out there who have had to choose something as hard as giving away a loved pet. I am stuck on whether to do it or not...
Thank you ALL! I want to make it clear for that one answer I received about me not taking care or seeing my dog as a commitment. I NEVER said I don't want my dog, I never said he isn't or wasn't a commitment, he is! If I weren't thinking about him with love I wouldn't even be asking this question and would've just gotten "rid" of him like many irresponsible people do. I did not mention to an entire extent the problems at home so I understand that someone can misunderstand my point and think I just don't want my dog anymore. I do think I can deal with the situation and suck it up until later on I can leave with him like someone has mentioned, that answer did touch my heart. I know I'd regret letting go...
Answer
questions like this make my blood boil.
See when you get a dog, you make a commitment. A dog isn't something you just get and then when it suits you or times get rough , give it away. A dog is for life.
You say you love the dog? well if you love something that much you don't just give up on it.
Shelters don't just take dogs in either - their overcrowded as it is, there's no guanretee they'll take your fella in.
I'm a volunteer at my local shelter - which is a kill shelter. Strays usually get 3 days - surrenders, 24hours. Do you really want your dog to end up on top of a rubbish tip? just because he simply "doenst fit in anymore"?
I know with the economy and what have you, times are tough - but a pet is a commitment, FOR LIFE.
If you need to get the dog a new home - get him one. But do me one favour me never get another dog again - wht happens if you get another dog when you move out, then have a child and he "doesn't fit in anymore"? are you going to give up on him aswell?
we have this poem hanging on the wall in the office, it may help you change your mind:
" I adopted your dog today
the one you left at the pound
the one you had for a few years
and no longer wanted around.
I adopted your dog today
did you know he lost weight?
do you know he's scared and depressed?
and has lost all his faith?
I adopted your dog today,
he had fleas and a cold,
but don't worry,
you've unburdened your load.
I adopted your dog today
where you having a new baby or moving away?
did you suddenly develope allergies?
or was there no reason he couldn't stay?
I adopted your dog today,
he doesn't play or eat much
he's very depressed, but
he will learn again to trust.
I adopted your dog today
and here he will stay.
he's found his forever home
and a warm bed on which to lay.
I adopted your dog today
and I will give him all that he could need.
patience, love, security, and understanding,
hopefully, he will forget your selfish deed"
I seen this photo at the pound the other day, a picture of a dog in a overcrowded shelter with the words: "I won't abandon you when times get tough ....please don't abandon me".
Trust me, if you surrender that dog - you will regret it for the rest of your life.

@ Jessie:
I'm pretty sure you asked a question a couple of moments ago asking why people work at kill shelters, but it seems the question had been deleted before I got to answer the question, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to answer your question considering I volunteer at a kill shelter:
I know - putting a ticking time bomb on a perfectly healthy dog is quite ridiculous, but you have to see the realistic point - we can't save every single dog.
Trust me - I do my best to save as many dogs as i possibly can - I post up pictures of the dogs on Internet sites, hand out flyers at dog shows and supermarkets - yes it does work and I have homed many dog through this process - but it doesn't work every time.
I volunteer at the kill shelter to basically help out - I walk and feed the dogs and chill out and talk to them in their kennels and do the best I possibly can to bring the slightest bit of joy to their lives when their in such a gloomy place - thankfully I'm not the one who fatally injects them, yet I am the one who nearly always has bring the dogs on their "last walk" (which, by the way I nearly always break down in tears in the process).
Shelters (be it kill shelters or no-kill shelters) simply haven't got the space or funds to save every dog but you have to understand that we do the best we possibly can to save as many dogs as possible - unfortunately, we just can't save every one.
This is quite a horrible way to look at it, but anyway: either they die in a shelter or they die on the streets.
I hope you understand.

which is the famous breed of german shaphered in the world?
Said
hi
i dont know about dogs so much ,just want to know which is the famous bloodline of german shephered in the world which people like all over the world or which is more famous than others
thanks
Answer
[Del Mer]: There is no "Rin Tin Tin line" descending from Rin Tin Tin. The dark sable Rin Tin Tin was unregisterable, as was his son.
Daphne's Rin Tin Tin "line" are not related to Rin Tin Tin; they actually descend from Lee's show-champion son of the very pale Odin vom Busecker-SchloÃ, as did the pale alleged-Rin Tin Tins seen in the tv series.
[Said]:
You said "i dont know about dogs so much".
Yeah, we can tell that. Ignore any alleged-expert who doesn't know that the breed's real name translates as German Shepherd Dog - 3 words in the special noun (with "herd" being one of the root-words), so 3 capital initials required, and GSD for short.
You don't even understand the noun "breed", and so your question doesn't actually make sense until we wade through your explanation then adjust it a little.
Based on what is desired by importers of GSDs, the top "line" are the VA (=Excellent Select) and Spitzen-V (equals the first dozen or more Excellents) GSDs that descend from Palme vom Wildsteiger Land. A litter I planned about 4 years ago would have had her in the pedigree 32 times, spread across the P6 to P10 ancestors. (P1 is a parent, P6 is a greatgreatgreatgreatgrandparent, P10 is a greatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgrandparent). Before clicking http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=116 to see her pedigree, then clicking the _Progeny_ label to see her children, followed by choosing one of her children to click the _Progeny_ label of, and so on, there are some facts you need to know about the GSD world.
Ignoring the deviations popular in Britain ("AlsatiOns") or North America ("NAmerican Ski-Slope Dogs"), the breed has 2 main "streams", the so-called Noble-lines and the so-called Working-lines.
#1:
Very few actually WORK with sheep any more, but a woman in New York's Catskill Mountains continues (in her own kennel name) the most famous of the herding lines, the Stammherde Ramholz's developed by the late Manfred Heyne.
GSDs that work sheep well are eligible to earn the HGH qualification - but many are too busy working to take time off to compete in mere "sport". However, the instincts needed for herding remain essential to the genuine GSD.
#2:
For the NOBLE-lines, the top contest is the BSZ aka World Sieger Show held in Germany in Autumn each year, and attracting entries from every nation where quarantine is not a problem. In the Adult class (for GSDs 2 years or older), the winner is known as The Sieger of that year, and regarded as the best GSD in the world. The best known is probably the 2006 Sieger, VA1 Zamp vom Thermodos SchH3 KKl.1
In early years the Sieger was graded V1, but nowadays he is graded VA1. The number of VAs varies from year to year, but they are the elite of the breed. Hopefuls are required to hold a KKl (Breed Survey Classification) before even entering, and then to perform protection work right there in front of the crowd before being allowed into the show ring (this year a shocking number FAILED it and were NOT allowed into the show ring next day)....
Remember:
V1 is actually about 14th in the class, depending on how many VAs were in front of him. SG is Very Good - not desirable for an adult, but the top available for a juvenile.
In Germany & Scandinavia all GSDs must pass a character & versatility test before they can enter a Breed Survey. HGH, or IPO1 or SchH1 is the minimum for an adult. For a repeat-VA, IPO3 or SchH3 is required.
The competition is based partly on individual merit in character & conformation, partly on proven ability to sire quality progeny.
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_GSD_Source/links/Defining_a_GSD_001261993982/ will tell you much more about the SV's system. In Canada it is used by the GSSCC. In the USofA it is used by the USCA and the WDA.
#3:
For the Working-lines (which are actually SPORT lines, but the test does indicate which pooches might be suitable for such as police work and tracking work), the top event is either the BSP (held in Germany just after the BSZ), or the WUSV's "Worlds" held in a different nation each year.
The competition uses the tests in SchH3, and neither conformation nor progeny-production is an element.
There is much more. To look up what various codes mean, join the first group below so you can access its database section.
