woodhippy, if you have enough seed go ahead and start a few more. but with a little luck you could get a girl from three sprouts.
either way, its a good idea to clone. cheaper, easier and faster than starting seed. i used a homemade bubble cloner from a coffee can and aquarium air pump. it did not work well for me in the summer because my home is too warm. i started rooting in dirt and it worked well. now i use jiffy pucks, easy and fast. and i have had such good success i have started taking less cuts.
well ofc, good morning. i had a rough evening. my chow was getting after my cat, well he was trying to. i walked over and fussed at the chow, who then turned on me and snarled. i reached out and gave him a little nudge with my foot and he turned on me. bite my boot and cut the leather. i kicked him hard and by that time my dane had ran over and attacked the chow for biting me. i was sick all last night from this. the chow has a swollen jaw from me hurting him. i know he didn't mean anything by it but i don't care what the reason was. you don't turn on someone like that. he is not a mean dog, but chows have tunnel vision really bad. once they get fired up they turn on anything that gets in the way.
its a hard decision to make. i love this dog, and he has been a good boy for years. but i feel like he broke a rule that is unforgivable. i told my wife, if he shows aggression again i will have to take The Walk with him. idk, i am sad, but i know what needs to be done. easy thing, and the right thing are never the same thing. i can't do it yet. i will give him a chance. sometimes i wish i was not the one making the decisions.
