Seizure Dog
I'm looking for a seizure service dog for my daughter. Because of the amount of time it takes to get the dog, my daughter will be 5 by the time the dog comes home.
There is also a possibility of my daughter being autistic, therefore the dog will be trained in tasks for that as well.
We need a larger dog that can act as a brace to help my daughter up and to walk around after her seizure. We like long haired dogs. Obviously the dog needs to be good with kids her age. It also needs to be good with other animals, as we have two other dogs and a cat. This needs to be a dog that is mostly docile indoors, but the availability of a large yard to being taken on walks is not an issue at all - we can do that. A high possibility of seizure detection ability before they happen would also be good. This is a dog that will sleep in her bed at night and stay by her side during and after a seizure.
I am avoiding the main breeds - goldens, labs, and poodles, because they're so common, and I was given the ability to choose basically whatever breed I want.
Right now, I'm leaning towards a NAID dog. My daughter is drawn to them and so are we. The information I have read from the breeder websites and dogbreedinfo.com suggests that it would be a good dog for the task, as well as one of the breeders I've talked to.
Other breeds I'm considering are Irish Setters, GSD, and Border Collie.
Thoughts?

Cody diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma
My Cody will be 13 on May 15, 2008. June 2006 he was diagnosed with low grade lymphoma and we have been successfully treating it since. The about two weeks ago he was feeling poor and we could not figure it out. We took several x rays and finally found that he had a blockage in the intestines. He is almost 13 and I chose to have surgery to make him feel better. The Doctor found a chew toy. They just never grow up. Always a clown. Anyway when the Doctor was in his tummy he found a growth that was nasty looking so he took it out and that is how we found out about the hemangiosarcoma. I am just devasted. He has done so well, even with his really bad hips. NOw the vet says he only has about two months unless we do chemo then he will have between 6 and 9 months. I just do not know what to do. I do not want him sick from chemo, but the thought of him only being here only two months is heartbreaking.
We also lost our beloved Black Lab suddenly in January from spinal cancer.
Why so much cancer?
Thanks for listening,
Karen and Cody

Catahoula Leopard Dog
I own one of these--or he and I are best friends--. He is my Companion Dog. The word companion doesn't do him justice. We watch television together, take walks. He is very vocal. And actually has an inside voice. The breed , according to everything I have read is the oldest breed in north america. Why is it nobody has even heard of them. They would be consdered herding dogs. But, they are everything dogs. Has anyone out there ever heard of them or does anyone have one of these wonderful and beautiful animals. Saturnsmom1@yahoo.com
