I'm a Dalmatian and Border Collie owner and I moved to San Diego and I could only have one dog there and my poor nervous Dalmatian wouldn't do well during the moving process. So we gave her away to a different family not because we didn't like her but because we loved her and wanted what was best. But now our Border Collie doesn't like being an only dog so we though about getting her a new friend but now the people that we gave her to don't want her anymore and want to give her back to us. But why did they get her if they were going to replace her with a Tea Cup poodle in 4 months? What Jerks!!!! Anyways, Should I get a new one or get my old Dalmatian back?

I know that and it wasn't so much that I could only have one dog but she is nerotic and we didn't want to have to put here through the process of repainting the house, moving in all the boxes and shrinking from a 4,800 sq ft. house in colorado to a 2,200 sq ft. track-home in San Diego

I really do miss my Dalmatian dog but she hates traveling and I would hate to have her bark and cry the whole way to California. Also she is afraid every other dog except my Border Collie but that's only because she was raised with her. I sure would love to have her back though.

Thanks everyone I appreciate your input but in case you haven't noticed most of you are all spelling Dalmatian wrong. There is no "o' in the word Dalmatian. Believe I've been a dalmatian owner for 10 years/

Get your Dalmatian back. If it has problems during car rides you can talk to your vet about travel meds. My cat has to be partially sedated to go anywhere or he vomits and has diarrhea everywhere. They vets can prescribe meds for the weight of the dog and for how long the trip is. I would ask for a trial dose to see how your dogs reacts to it and to see if it lasts long enough. The meds are very safe and usually just make them loopy so they dont really know whats happening. If you need to if she needs to fly out to you you will need to get her health papers as well but I would recommend driving if at all possible so she knows you are with her. But talk with your vet and the people you gave her to about what the best way to get her to you in SD with the least amount of stress for her. Good luck

sure, undesirable difficulty. it really is achieveable that she did not get pregnant. If she isn't ovulating or interior seventy 2 hours of ovulating it really is a chance. often a lady received't carry for a male till the is receptive although. Wait about a million month. Take her in for an ultrasound. it really is extremely the in consumer-friendly words way you'll comprehend for particular if she is honestly pregnant. do not do an Xray in this dogs till a million week in the previous the domestic dogs are due. The radiation will damage the domestic dogs. do not change her food routine yet, it truly is too quickly. i might want to in spite of the undeniable fact that be sure she keeps a very healthful weight. communicate on your vet, or a respected breeder for each of the documents you want. Please do not basically take suggestion from a communicate board. It appears like you pick a mentor. they are going to allow you to comprehend precisely what to feed or maybe as to regulate to a food more effective proper for a pregnant and lactating dogs. also, even as she receives close to whelping time, be sure you've milk replacer for domestic dogs and bottles. Her being so youthful and immature she received't be the suitable mom. good success!

If you can only have one dog, why, when you gave your Dalmation away, would you be looking for another dog? I know you said your Boarder Collie was sad, but you just stated you can only have one.
I'm sure, in San Diego, there are tons of Doggie Daycare places....I would try that. As for the friends who no longer want the Dalmation, have them call the local Dalmation Rescue.

Get your old dalmation back! Am sure she is missing you terribly and am sure your Collie will be more than happy to get his old friend back.
This really would be the best thing to do!
Maybe your dalmations new owners couldn't handle a big dog and now want to opt for a smaller breed. But maybe this is a blessing in disguise, a sign for you to get your dalmation back!
Good luck :]

I would definetly get the Dalmation back! If you can pick her up, great. But if you have to have her shipped, just think: It won't be that long, and most likely she will survive the trip, and when the dog gets to you it will only be a short time before the family is happy again!

If you think it is at all feasible I would take your old dalmation back. Who knows what could happen to her, and it is our responsibility as pet owners to make sure that our dogs get taken care of. If you can not take her back, then maybe you could find another good home for. I would not leave the responsibility to this other family that you gave her to. Good Luck!

having lived in san diego there are tons of dog parks. doggy day care servies and dog day camp where you can take your collie. As seeing you cant have another dog why would you thinkabout getting a new one when you got rid of your dalmatian?

By all means get your Dalmation back. She will remember you and your other dog and probably be very happy to be reunited with you. The people who took her and now don't want her just evidentally didn't really want a big dog and choose to get a poodle. Poodles require ALOT of grooming upkeep!

Easy question and you know the answer. Go get your Dalmatian back. Let your furry friends have each other and have their family be complete.
