Rowie-the-Pooh Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Yesterday my mother, grandfather, and I went to a shopping centre close by to get my grandfather to move his legs a bit. Anyway, in the bulliten board there, they usually have adds of dogs in need, or dogs for sale, or dog supplies for sale. I was reading when met by a lot of surprises. But first, for those of you that don't know, I live in Bahrain, a dog loving community, but depends on where you live. It's a few kilometeres off Saudi. In Bahrain, we have very little dog supplies, our dog foods are only the cheapest they can find (Pedigree, Iams, Eukanuba), and if you want a pure bred, your best bet would be to import from another country. So, I read the board, and I met one of the biggest surprises of my doggie life! Bahrain actually has a REPTUBLE kennel! I was so surprised! Now for you, it may not come as a surprise, but Bahrain has NO breeders, only BYB and Puppy Millers. Rowie was an import from Thailand, just to show you how Bahrain has NO breeders and kennels. And she's a Golden Retriever! This Kennel was a Havenese kennel/breeder. They seemed nice! :) They seemed like GOOD breeders. I was shocked, and when I told my mother, she told me:"You don't think Bahrain is THAT un-doggie civilized do you? Of course there are breeders here, if you look hard enough!" Well, mom, you could have told me that when we where looking for a Golden Retriever! :roll: Second surprise: There is a real, live, SHAR-PEI in Bahrain! Now THAT came as a shock, being as rare as they are! This poor 5 year old Pei, 'Sunny', is looking for a home, as his owner is leaving Bahrain... :( I hope he finds a home! So, Bahrain may have even MORE doggie citizens then I thought! I guess I should look harder! Maybe I should start a club? I already did for the kids at school, but what about breeders? And people who AREN'T in my school, or are adults? It's an idea.... Another thing I noticed in this amazing journey of discovery (aka Shopping Centre! :lol: ) was a GOOD food brand. I'm not sure of it, but I heard it being mentioned here on the forum... It's "Go!", the canadian brand. Rowie's old dog food, was also candian. But then, the Pet Store stopped stocking it because of the war! :x So, should I slowly introduce "Go!"? Wow, quite an amount of discovories for one day, eh? :) I should go to the Shopping Centre more often.... Rowie :angel: Quote
Peng1zrule Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 I don't know about Bahrain, but over here, Eukanuba and Iams are anything but cheap...they are known as good quality foods, and many people use them exclusively. Eukanuba used to be rather expensive, but they changed their recipe and brought the cost down a little... Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Go! is a great food. If you have access to it, please feed it. Here is discussion of it on another board I read: http://www.i-dog.com/board/today.html It really is good stuff. The answer to your prayers! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Crap that link didn't work. If you go to Nutrition and then scroll down about 10 or 12 items down is a topic "Go! Dog Food" Wander if this link will work? http://www.i-dog.com/board/messages/46/28883.html? Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 THAT IS SAD A FIVE YEAR OLD SHAR-PEI NEEDING A HOME :( Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 IT IS NOT THE IAMS FOOD I OBJECT TO BUT WHAT THEY DO TO ANIMALS TO TEST IT :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted June 25, 2003 Author Posted June 25, 2003 Eukanuba is not cheap here, but I call it cheap, becuase of them testing on animals.... :x The Shar-Pei story is very sad, and I immedialty thought of you mouse! I wish you lived here so you could find him a home! I've been thinking maybe I can find him one? It's the summer holidays, I have nothing to do.... I think I'm going to go with "Go!". I hope that's what I saw at the Shopping Centre! :D Thanks for all your advice guys! muah! Love you! :D Quote
