Does anyone know where I can get bells to hang from my door knobs? My girl Sallie has a bad habit of scratching the door to go out or come in. I can't seem to train her to bark, like her brother Jackson, but I think she'd easily learn to ring the bell! A catalog or online site would be best.

A puppy given with the expectation that the dog will be bred for puppies back is hardly free. In the same way, a dog placed with the expectation that he can be used for breeding by the original owner is also not a "free" dog. I agree with Sherri -- "free dog" is a very complicated topic! But I als
