[MENTION=395]johnr[/MENTION]I am on my 7th dog, I by no means want to be thought of as a guy who only wants to hunt my dog, then put him in a kennel for 11 months.
I am mostly stating that when my current buddy passes on, I will not be replacing him. I would however like to have a dog that I was not attached to and could just "use" 4-5 weekends a year. Then he could go back to his loving family and life is good.
Sorry for the confusion, my dog(all of them) have been a huge part of my life and go everywhere with me when possible. But things in life change, and I wont be adding a dog in the future.
Our family feels exactly the same as you.
