Where do I begin

How do you start all over again doing what you like after real life dramas in your life.

Im sorry I was away from your faces for such a long time, especially after all the energy I had after graduating from the S.A. Dog Training College. Things happened and I know some of the pictures might offend some of you, but I am of the opinion that pictures tell a true story. Those who are offended please accept my appologies in advance.

I lost my beloved dog through a dog fight and I was devastated and confused at the same time, I had just too many unanswered questions. But with help from family and friends I was able to accept that things happen for a reason and for that matter I had to go on with my life and passion (dog training).

Few days later, I was taking one of my dogs to the vet on my way to work and BOOOM, I lost control of the car and it rolled three times. I was injured on my head and knee and my dogs died a week later though it did not show any visible injuries after the accident. This took me back and I thought hard as to why it all had to happen to me especially soon after I had lost a dog during the dog fight.

I was limping and my head was not right but few people noticed, but I had to do the most honourable thing, "not communicate that on my blog until I felt the time was right".

This blog is just to say that I am back and looking forward to more information sharing with all of you. You can comment on my blog by clicking the comment link at the end of my blog. But if you have a problem doing that let me know or you can go straight to my blog site on

A collegue of mine gave me this beautiful puppy and I am busy training her and I am looking forward to continue doing what I like the most, "giving love to my dogs". Her name is Stompie (3 months old), please follow my blog as I take Stompie to the next level on my day to day training. She is at the moment learning the basic commands (sit, heel, down)and she is doing very well.

I hope you will enjoy following my blog and Stompie

Stop breeding for the sake of breeding

Guys we have a problem of dogs being neglected due to over breeding. Its about time we stop blaming the SPCA for things that are caused by our own doing.

Lets not put profit ahead of the lives of the animals. Breed only if your dog is a Champion and you want to improve the quality of the breed. I am hot, tired of people who breed for the same of breeding and them fail to take care of the poor animal. I am not an animal rights activist, but I feel that we must say it with one voice, "STOP BREEDING"

Not everyone can bring up puppies and its a lot of job bringing up puppies. There is no money as most people seem to believe. It is very expensive to raise puppies. This has to stop, we are the ones who need to take a stance, not the SPCA, they are there to guide us as far as the bylaws are concerned. Some poeple hate them for doing their jobs, they are there because we do not listen and most of the time, reason.

If your dog has never won a race or caught a buck, why breed that dog. What are your intentions, are you breeding to improve the breed or just because its a female dog it has to be bred. We are our own enemies.

Dogs are being neglected when we become sick or retrenched and not able to look after them. We are a bunch of educated individuals, lets help our brothers who are less educated and believe that its a must for every dog to be bred once atleast in its life time. We cant be repeating the same mistakes done in the past, lets do something about it now before its too late.

Lets do it for the animals not personal gain. Away with breeding.
