Well, as a TSE puppy raiser i would like to weigh in here.
The no contact policy is hard. It's a difficult thign to love a dog and take
him or her everywhere for a year and a half or so, then never hear about
theme ver again.

But, we know that giong in. I love puppy raising more then anything else.
And it's hard, but worth it. Having other friends who use TSE guides, I know
they are usually loved or gaken care of.
And that's what matters. i knwo that I don't want or need a play by play.
I just want to know tha someone loves them as much as I do.

being allowed to talk to the handlers would be nice; i sort of wish that
could happen.
but,at the same time, I understand. I don't want handlers to feel that I
expect a thank you or anything of the like. I puppy raise because it's fun,
I love my dogs, and I love knowing that they are all getting to help someone
and do something htey love, that they will be loved, and no tstuck staying
at home.

so, as mucha s I would love to ehar about them, it's not a need. It relaly
doesn't matter. It's what's best for the dogs anwyay. Bred workers want to
work. If I get to help them to reach that goal in any way, then I'm hpapy.
They deserve that chance.

Danielle (and Bear, TSE puppy in training)
PS: Bear is actually a nickname that will be used by myself and my fellow
puppy raiser/roommate when we post. This does reserve the right to
confidentiality!
