In fact, the foster families can purchase any training equipment that we sell in our business at our wholesale cost. We usually do not place foster dogs in homes where there is already another dog. It's a rare occasion that this would happen. We would never place a female in a home where there was an un-neutered male. We also would not place a female in a home with another large female.
Females fight with females, males fight with males.
We try to eliminate bad situations by limiting the environment our dogs are placed in. We seldom place dogs in homes further than 50 miles away from Menomonie, although in certain cases we have gone as far as the Twin Cities. The full ownership remains with Leerburg Kennels until it is determined that we no longer want to breed the bitch. At that point we tell the family to get the dog spayed. When this is done we give them the registration papers and relinquish all control of the dog.
