Interesting how most of the commentators here take offence at the PIIGS acronym, despite the Economist qualifying it as "ugly", which is is. The Economist did not make the acronym up, the market did - much like the BRIC acronym.
More telling is that hardly anyone disagrees with the facts put forward by the Economist...
The only clear difference between the UK and the PIIGS is the UK's currency flexibility.
The markets seem to believe this and other less obvious differences differentiate the UK's prospects. it will be interesting to see whether the market players or the commentators here are correct in say three years time.
I suggest the Economist commission an annual review of the comparative position of the PIIGS and the UK on these economic indicator and their trends.
The first of these comparisons should be in the next issue so all can see the starting position.
@ commonsensical
"As for UK though it's fiscal shape might be a bit bad for now it has a lot of advantages. Most of UK bonds are denominated in sterling and UK issues it's own currency. London is the largest financial center in the planet in case anyone didn't notice. UK also has much more belief in free trade and seems to benefit a lot from growth in international trade especially over the last decade. And last but not the least, UK political system is far more stable than sone of these other countries. For instance Greece was ruled by a military dictatorship only about three decades back!"
This one was really funny, after all some PIGS can fly with their imagination.
@ WhyNotMe
Excellent, they can make the "core" of the contributions then, and while us "speculators" pay a minor part.
If the two are "core" anything, they are the rotten "core" that need to be reminded that they are part of a wider club.
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. The PIGS/PIIGS acronym might have been "accepted" by the market but that does not mean it did not originate from within the market. It is almost certain to have been made up by someone in the market - an analyst, trader, econonomist, whatever - who knows exactly, and who really cares.
@ jamesyar
"You cannot directly compare yields in two different currencies. In fact, It is economically incompetent to try."
You can and the market already had done so. UK paid more interest than Spain is a fact.
Convince them about your theory.
I'm not financing Britain in fact for me is more secure Greece because the Germans will have to put money for Greece to save their banks.
Who will bailout UK? You?
The question now is Who next? Portugal or Ireland?
Please come on grow up "FMI said italy was the best in G20 in this crises" ilsole24ore.
And you believe that?
The FMI did not guess any crisis in the world. Buy a crystal ball and you will get better figures than the FMI.
And by the way IL sole 24 ore is like The Economist for the British. Tuto a posto ragazzie Viva Italia!.
Italy is in the mess since 1990 and you now cannot even print Lires.
E' un problema grosso mi sembra. Ormai C' viene la fame.
Sharing a common currency when the economic fundamentals are different can lead to casualties because you do not have the latitude to adjust the monetaty and exchange rate policy as remedial measures. The economies of the EU have yet to acheive full convergence. There are huge disparities in the Euro zone economies. We should therefore expect to see similar situations in future as we see in the PIIGS.
@ enriquecost
"The same way as S.Korea has becomen a trade and financial hub between China, Japan and Russia, Greece has a similar strategical chance to become the trade and financial hub between Europe, Russia, China and the Middle East."
What? Come again. I spilled my coffee on this one!
On a side note I don't see what is so "offensive" about "pigs". If people can eat em ...And term has stuck on well and it makes for a nice acronym.
Finally though economic growth might not be that "different" in other European countries for now, there are other problems with ... Er ... PIGGS. For example Spain has 20% unemployment. And by some estimates the youth unemployment is about 35%. Which is SCARY! The fiscal position of many of these countries is also terrible.
As for UK though it's fiscal shape might be a bit bad for now it has a lot of advantages. Most of UK bonds are denominated in sterling and UK issues it's own currency. London is the largest financial center in the planet in case anyone didn't notice. UK also has much more belief in free trade and seems to benefit a lot from growth in international trade especially over the last decade. And last but not the least, UK political system is far more stable than sone of these other countries. For instance Greece was ruled by a military dictatorship only about three decades back!
@Cutters, Cutters...
You are a case believe me, you have to express your passionate Italian anger to Gordon Brown aka Gordy.
It's not my fault that Britain is straightforward to the perfect collapse.
Look I already have some few Quids left and I didn't sale it, can you see that I'm not so bad.
Is may fault that your government was and is expending so much money that never had on wars around the globe?
Is my fault that your politician chose to turn your economy into a casino?
Is my fault that your politicians chose to print money like the Weimarer Republik?
What do you want from me?
A good friend always tells you the truth even tough the truth is bad and tough.
Here I go:
1-If UK will not cut the expending, doesn't rise taxes and not produce something to be selling to the world UK will collapse.
2-10 trillions dollars of foreign debt is not a joke make your calculation how many generation will be in debts paying that huge amount of money to the internationals lenders. If UK uses its entire GDP without expending a quid will take 5 years. Well I say 20 years if you are lucky.
3-The EU can go without UK you only represent 2 trillions (now less for the devaluation of the Pound) against 14 trillions of the rest.
4- The especial relationship with America always was a lie, in fact you are in the mess because of them. Remember the Subprime mortgage crisis stuff. Well I didn't sell that crap to your banks else were you special fellow Amerikans.
That's enough for now.
God blesses you for your innocence.
Best regards,
One more thing about this "PIGS" insult. It strikes me as a Mediterranean that perhaps northern Europeans do not realise the full depth of the insult.
Although we are not Muslim countries, we do have a common history with the other side of this lake, and calling someone a "pig" has an almost blasphemous sound to it. For example in Italian, we blaspheme by calling God or the Madonna a pig - this is undoubtedly left over from the religious wars centuries ago with the Muslims.
Instead, for the Germans, whose entire diet is basically made up of pig and beer, it might sound like something delicious to wolf down.
Of course, this is the real point of Germans using this insult for our economies...
Please get rid of this poor Islander mentality. Would you?
The EU exists because (as I've said before) Germany, France and Italy are the core of the Union. Doesn't matter how many countries are in the club now.
To make an analogy none can imagine a Commonwealth without Britain. Would you?
So the EU can survive without Britain or Spain but not without Germany or France.
Commentators here might have overreacted. It only said euro-zone's trouble. There is no need to discuss UK at this thread.
I think your tittle is clearly offensive, how about your misfortune in Iraq following Americans to make oil money and reduce peoples freedom despite the fact that mr Tony Blair supports till now that he was right.. I have to say oil piggs little Britain piggggs! Your financial institution is a rack and you system lent it you by south... So economist behave you coming next under the cloudy sky's if you are not still in!
@ GC London
I know where the ECB is based, just as I know that it has a large office in London.
This however is fairly meaningless when the good for the whole club is taken into account. Frankfurt is not the biggest financial capital in the EU, and only remains its biggest exporter by protectionist means.
If it comes down to a vote against the other 11, then expect some of those 11 to want concessions for EU money being used to help out a country that got itself in to the mess it finds itself in now. The only reason that would not happen is if the governments of those 11 lacked the backbone to do what is best for the people and bowed in pressure from the other 16.
Euro-land got itself into this mess with poor regulation, it can get itself out.
@ WhyNotMe
I wasn't ever saying that you were responsible for any of that, but that you were wrong.
You have heard what the figures are for Germany and the UK are for the last quarter? Germany has stagnated and the UK is flying, and its flying mainly due to that finance market that you were saying is such a mess.
Is it my fault that those countries have earned the nickname PIIGS? You give me far to much credit sir! But maybe could soon be PIGGS if what has be said about Italy is true and Germany fails to find a way forward, or remains stagnant.
If your still not convinced, look at the IMF data for GDP. The Euro area is set to go into a further nose dive, while the Commonwealth is set to grow the stall, but I would say that is better than shrinking, and given that it contains some of the worlds poorest nations, it would be doing surprisingly well.
The Euro area needs help, and it needs to admit that this is something it cannot do on its own. The 11 non-euro countries should not be the one to pick up the tab because of some deal the other 16 have come to, that is not the way a group that are suppose to be working together works. Look instead to the IMF, no one else has the money to bail you out, though the 11 maybe able to spare you enough of a deposit to afford the loan, if the euro area asks nicely.
Cutters. It is obvious you have an islander mentality. But it is not a big deal.Especially Compared to what say your newspapers and american ones calling other "PIGS". Only anlo saxons (plus ça change,...)
About contributions, France and Uk almost give the same amount. Several billions more for UK due to the CAP.(A special arrangement which is revisited )
The reason more problem countries can't be added to the problem list is basically because the resulting acronym won't mean anything or be as cute as "PIIGS".
That being said, enriquecost is too upbeat about Spain. You hear the same sort of thing from the Socialist government here: "Debt levels are still so low." Unfortunately public debt is rising at an astonishing rate with a budget deficit of (11,6)% of GDP, and a current account deficit that is still a negative (4,5)% of GDP despite the economic collapse that should have cut imports if competitiveness were improving.
With almost 20% official unemployment, no serious effort to reduce government spending, no serious effort to reform labour markets and attract FDI, and elections still two years away, spreads on Spanish bonds are going to rise substantially this year and next. Spain might very well have to borrow at a higher rate than the interest it will receive on its share of the future Greek bailout loan.
Thats rubbish, as with both those examples the "core" is also the biggest contributor. So France does not deserve any right to be part of the "core" of the "club", its one of the bigger leaches.
The "Club" stopped being about the Deutsch-Franco agreements when it enlarged and power transferred to a non-country affiliated head. It long past the time that Germany and France realised that the projected that they started has changed, and is no longer all about them, but 27 different countries and that Germany is only the one of the larger contributors because of agreements, though if it pays in less than 6 billion, then that changes to being on the same level as France.
As the saying goes "Whoever pays the piper..."
Another curiosity:
This year the APEC Summit will take place in Honolulu (Hawaii, USA)
Distance from Honolulu to Beijing: 8,157 Km (5,068 miles)
Distance from Athens to Beijing: 7,629 Km (4,741 miles)
Athens (Greece, Eurozone) is 500 Km (300 miles) closer to Beijing than Honolulu (Hawaii, USA)
The fact that Athens is closer to Beijing than Sidney and Honolulu (besides the Athens-Beijing) route can be made by road and rail apart from air) demonstrates the global importance of Greece, the gate of Europe.
@ WhyNotMe
Not with money from the EU funds your not! That money belongs to the whole EU, not to bail out countries that have fiddled the books and are now paying for it. Just because the sycophant Labour as not said anything, don't think for a second that any new UK government wont.
What has been put on the table and agreed by the 16 has yet to be ratified by the rest that make up the 27 countries of the EU, the PIIGS are not yet safe from having their bacon fried. See a Euro nation go down would benefit the economies of the other 11, and I wouldn't bet that they won't want something in return for the 16 being able to protect themselves against failing economies.

Japanese Maples in containers - I have no idea what I'm doing...
On a whim, I bought some Japanese Maple "saplings" on clearance (2.00 each!) late last summer from a nursery. They were really tall (like over three feet), but grown bunched up in tiny, tall containers. Looked healthy enough though. I've never grown a maple of any kind before, and I really have no idea what I'm doing.
I transplanted into my first, flawed iteration of the gritty mix, in which I used unscreened decomposed granite. I think I just got lucky that this resembles JM's natural habitat. I think?
The leaves burned and dropped after the midsummer transplant. They looked dead. But erupted back into life this spring.
What I think was thrips damage made the second flush of new leaves look very ugly. I chopped the trees in half and pruned off the damaged foliage to hopefully get less leggy growth. Did I mention I have no idea what I'm doing?
So my question to you gurus of growing containerized JM's is.. should I keep these? Do they have any potential? Did I ruin them already? I've grown attached, despite my horrible treatment of them.
They're mostly in shade, but get occasional dappled sunlight throughout the day. Fertilized when I get around to it with dyna-gro, and lately Miracle Gro + Cal-Mag. I have a lot of old Miracle Gro I need to use up.
They have as much potential as you have patience. For example, next spring, you could simply sacrifice the top of the maple in the last picture by chopping off the top just above that little branch that comes off the main a few inches above the soil and just start over. The wound will heal completely in a year or two if you chop it correctly - something I can help with when the time comes. You could also layer off the top if you wanted to ..... lots of options.
All the trees could stand a good shortening, but let them grow wild until after leaves fall & then do your pruning.
Your tree has the same potential - all that's lacking is a little time & experience, which fortunately often seem to arrive coincidentally: ;-)

If me being separated is scaring you off, it shouldn't. He lives overseas and has for the last 8 years. He is not in the picture. It is hard to have divorce papers served in Thailand. :) I am easy going and fun. Love to live life and expect the same from my ideal match. Life is too short for anything else. Love to laugh, sing, dance, flirt, socialize and travel. I am successful in my career. I enjoy going out, listening to music, movies, watching sports, camping, fishing, enjoying a good glass of wine with a friend, etc. I love to travel and have been to Africa, Italy, Greece, Thailand, Cabo, Aruba, Venezuela. I worked in Iraq for a year on Liberty Military Base as a contractor (not military). I like my life to be simple and uncomplicated. I am an honest person and expect the same from my friends. I don't have time for silly games. I have kids that live at home but they are adults. They do their thing and I do mine. It is more like having roommates than kids.

Lockheed Martin will furlough 3,000 employees on Monday and potentially more in coming weeks due to the government shutdown.
Lockheed Martin will furlough 3,000 employees on Monday and potentially more in coming weeks due to the government shutdown.
The defense contractor said Friday that the furloughs will affect its business nationwide and it is working closely with customers to assess the impact. It said the number of employees put on furlough will increase weekly if the shutdown continues, but did not specify how high the count could rise.
"I'm disappointed that we must take these actions and we continue to encourage our lawmakers to come together to pass a funding bill that will end this shutdown," Marillyn Hewson, Lockheed's CEO and president, said in a statement. "We hope that Congress and the Administration are able to resolve this situation as soon as possible."
Lockheed says the furloughs include employees who are unable to work because the government facility where they perform their work is closed, as well as those whose work requires a government inspection that cannot be completed or for which the company has received a stop work order.

This announcement comes just days after United Technologies Corp. said that it will furlough 2,000 employees by Monday and more than 5,000 if the shutdown continues into next month. The company, which makes Blackhawk helicopters and other products, says it will halt some manufacturing because government inspectors have been furloughed and they are necessary for federal approval to make military products.
The partial government shutdown took effect Tuesday and has idled roughly 800,000 "non-essential" federal workers.
Lockheed Martin Corp. shares fell 46 cents to $122.37 in afternoon trading Friday. Its shares are still near the higher end of their 52-week range of $85.88 to $131.60.

– Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater defeated Zack Ryder and Santino Marella on the Survivor Series pre-show. Drew McIntyre returned and was at ringside for the match. Drew had been out of action due to the death of his mother several weeks ago. – New WWE announcer Renee Paquette hosted the "hype show" before WWE Survivor Series went live. As noted, Paquette was a former broadcaster for Canada's The Score. – With CM Punk retaining the WWE title at Survivor Series, he's now held the title for 365 consecutive days. – WWE NXT Champion Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose were the men who attacked Ryback to end WWE's Survivor Series pay-per-view. As we've been reporting, there had been plans to call them up to the main roster sooner than later. Michael Cole also revealed their identities during the live broadcast. Expect all three to appear on RAW this week to continue the angle.

Gizmo gift for wine-lovers
By Mike Hanlon
Dynamo House is offering a new concept wine kit which is billed as a 'Step by Step Introduction to Wine Appreciation for Wine Lovers' and is available in two versions: White Wine and Red Wine.
Gizmo tried the kit and we agree with the manufacturers claim that it 'provides the passionate wine lover with an accessible guide to evaluate wine professionally.' The kits have been created under the direction of wine-authority Philip Rich, a professional Australian wine taster and judge. It contains everything you need to appreciate the quality and character of wine and guides you through a step-by-step evaluation process, designed to train your eye, nose and palate.
We think the kit represents one the picks of the Christmas season for gift purchasers - it will educate the user and increase their enjoyment and knowledge of the wines they drink. Each kit comes with ten red (or white) aromas designed to help the nose recognise these essential components. Wine appreciation is an ancient art and a refined understanding of this process is something which can be learned with this kit.Share

Tim O'Shea, Author at Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources - Page 4 of 31
Talking Comics with Tim | Curt Pires on 'POP'
POP, writer Curt Pires' collaboration with artist Jason Copland and colorist Pete Toms, wraps up this week with the release of Issue 4 from Dark Horse. One thing I consistently enjoy about Pires' storytelling is how it works on two levels: You have a plot replete with action that always keeps the reader engaged, along with with a layer of subtext that invites deeper consideration.
In an interview with ROBOT 6, Pires allowed me to poke around both layers. Suicidal ideation, drug use and poetic terrorism are just a few of the concepts considered in POP, and in this interview.
Oeming and Soma hunt monsters in 'Sinergy'
As origins go, Jess' latent seer powers to see demons being triggered by losing her virginity is one of the more unforgettable opens to a first issue I have read in quiet a while. That's exactly how co-creator/co-writer/artist Michael Avon Oeming and co-creator/co-writer/colorist Taki Soma cut to the heart of their new Image Comics/Shadowline series, Sinergy.
Creative process: Dreistadt and Gibson on 'Capture Creatures'
Next week, BOOM! Studios' KaBOOM! imprint launches Capture Creatures, a new ongoing series by writer Frank Gibson and artist Becky Dreistadt. It's the latest evolutionary step for a property that began as a website with 151 Dreistadt paintings of cute creatures (inspired by Pokemon) before being Kickstartered as a 300-plus page collected edition with Gibson-written character descriptions.
In anticipation of the series debut, Dreistadt and Gibson shared six exclusive process pages with ROBOT 6 that follow the art from initial pencils (Dreistadt) to the inking stage (by Kelly Bastow), followed by colored pages by Tracy Liang and, finally, letters by Britt Wilson. Along with the process pages, Dreistadt and Gibson also detailed the influences and challenges behind bringing Capture Creatures to KaBOOM!
Thought Bubble: A social media overview
In case you weren't able to make this year's Thought Bubble: The Leeds Comic Art Festival, ROBOT 6 has rounded up snippets of the overall experience through social media. The festival, now in its eighth year, was held Nov. 9-16, ending with a two-day convention on Nov. 15-16. Beyond the final two-day event, Thought Bubble offered more than 80 comics-related opportunities — some in cooperation with the 28th Leeds International Film Festival.
Creative process: Jack Katz pencils from 'The First Kingdom'
This week marks the release of the final collected volume of Jack Katz's an epic series initially published in the 1970s and '80s. Titan Comics began reissuing Katz's magnum opus, which clocks in at an impressive 768 pages, in 2013. Each remastered volume was produced utilizing cleaned and restored art taken from high-resolution scans of Katz's original art pages, as well as being completely relettered. Titan also provided background information on the history of Katz's story, as well as extra material, such as character sketches as well as original drawings.
To mark the release, Titan Comics shared with ROBOT 6 some of the extras included in the final volume.
'Smile' creator Raina Telgemeier visits the dentist
This February will mark five years since the release of Raina Telgemeier's Smile, the autobiographical graphic novel about her childhood from sixth grade to high school, partially documented by her orthodontia experience through those years.
Telgemeier's teeth were forefront in her mind earlier this week as she visited her dentist, taking a couple of pictures while there, which she shared on her Instagram account.
Van Lente, Rosenzweig & Dinisio tap history in present day 'Resurrectionists'
Longtime readers of writer Fred Van Lente know well how much of a history buff he is. So it did not surprise me that his new ongoing series with artists Maurizio Rosenzweig and Moreno Dinisio, Resurrectionists, draws upon the past as a major fuel for the present day narrative. The creator-owned project builds upon the concept that certain people can utilize the knowledge and experience of their past lives.
Artists to follow on Twitter: Janet K. Lee
While many creators use Twitter, not all of them do so to such a thorough degree as Janet K. Lee. The artist behind Return of the Dapper Men, Jane Austen's Emma (for Marvel) and Lost Vegas shares commission pieces as well as works in progress and warmup sketches. Here are a few recent examples.
Creative process: Brunner, Renzi on 'Wolverine and the X-Men' #11
At Chris Brunner and Rico Renzi's blog The Kids Stick Together, the artist and colorist have shared some behind-the-scenes pieces from their recent three-page collaboration with writer Jason Latour on Wolverine and the X-Men #11. The creators provide a great deal of insight, and rather than try to summarize it here, ROBOT 6 has cherry-picked a few fun items, with Renzi's permission. He assured us they will do at least do one additional post analyzing another page in the very near future.
Atlanta children's hospital celebrates Cape Day
Late last week Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) marked the planned demolition of a 43-year hotel (and future site of its administration offices) with an event called Cape Day. The primary public face of the celebration was a 4-year-old former patient, DJ Pitts (aka Super DJ), who at age 3 accidentally ingested an industrial cleaner, resulting in a six-month stay at CHOA. While he was there, enduring more than 20 surgeries, he donned many different superhero capes to pass the time as he received treatment, to the delight of himself and everyone who met him.
Talking Comics with Tim | Eric Haven on 'UR'
UR collects a variety of Eric Haven's stories previously published in various anthologies, and draws upon many influences, including his love of classic comics, while swimming deep in the waters of absurdist humor.
Haven spoke with ROBOT 6 about what went into arranging this collection, how it landed at AdHouse, his hatred of dancing, and the comedic truism: "Explosive diarrhea is always funny." AdHouse is offering a preview of the book, which will be released in December.
Discerning the core appeal of 'Tooth & Claw'
Often when one runs across an engaging new series, it is fairly easy to identify the prime factor that serves as the appeal/pull for the project. In the case of Tooth & Claw, the new fantasy series (replete with talking animals and magic) by writer Kurt Busiek, artist Ben Dewey and colorist Jordie Bellaire, no one factor can be identified.
For starters–in the "credit where credit is due" department, there would be no series had Busiek not initially conceived the series, prior to seeking out Dewey. Busiek has known since the initial 1994 success of Marvels that no matter how great a writer he may be, the lynchpin to a project's success or failure is how effectively the artist interprets his script.
An early glimpse at Aquavember, a month for watercolors
This week I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Inktober is followed by Aquavember, a month for artists to hone their skills through daily exercises using watercolors.
While still early in the month, ROBOT 6 decided to spotlight a handful of Aquavember pieces, including some by comics industry veteran (and faculty member at Ringling College of Art and Design) George Pratt and award-winning colorist Laura Martin.
11/8/14 Update: Since the initial post, I learned about Aquavember's origin. Inspired by Inktober, artist Ken Meyer Jr. organized the inaugural Aquavember this year.As Meyer explained at this Aquavember page: "I created this page as a gathering place for #AquaVember, a place where you can show DAILY WATERCOLORS. … Do something, anything, in watercolor daily."
Creative process: Paolo Rivera on 'The Valiant' #1
Coming up Dec. 10, Valiant Entertainment will launch a new four-issue miniseries The Valiant, co-written by Jeff Lemire and Matt Kindt with art by Paolo Rivera. To mark its upcoming release, Valiant shared layout, penciled, inked and colored samples of the first four pages for the first issue.
Creative process: Gabriel Hardman's rejected 'Kinski' cover
Fans of Gabriel Hardman's Kinski get a double treat this week, as the original Monkeybrain run of the series wraps up with the digital release of Issue 6, while at the same time Image Comics has collected all six issues in a $14.99 trade paperback.
To mark the occasion, ROBOT 6 reached out to Hardman for any bonus material he was willing to share . He obliged us with a rejected cover. He also offered the following explanation:

Duke Energy
Submitted by Robo (not verified) on Tue, 02/19/2013 - 7:30pm.
We can thank the environmentalists and the Obama administration for this increase. Duke is being required to convert to natural gas from coal, and that is an expensive conversion to make. And natural gas will continue to be higher than coal as a source of energy in the future.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Spayed Female
Sheltie Mix
Approximately 4-5 months old
Approximately 7 pounds
Good with dogs
Unknown with cats
Hi, my name is Dixie! I'm a petite young pup who loves playing, just like a healthy puppy should. My foster brothers and I like to play tug-of-war and fetch all the time! I have typical puppy energy, however, given enough playtime, I would love to curl up on the couch with you and bat my pretty eyelashes and remind you how sweet I am! You'll just love how cute I am! I don't have accidents in the house because I'm crate trained and house-trained already. I also "sit" when you ask me to. I'll do anything for a treat, so training me even more commands should be easy! Also, at night, I'll go right in my crate, curl up with my blanket, and go to sleep. I am always polite at feeding times, and eat slowly, like a little dainty girl should. I am a petite little lady who is eager to please! If you are looking for a smaller type dog, with a really big heart, I am your girl!!
My adoption fee is $450, which includes all vaccinations, alteration, and microchip! Please visit www.goodkarmamn.org to fill out an adoption application. Once the application is received, an awesome representative of Good Karma will contact you to answer any questions you may have and/or set up a time for you to meet your new pet! Good Karma Animal Rescue's approval process includes conducting a home visit before adopters take their new pet home.
A note on breed determination: Good Karma Animal Rescue of MN bases our breed determination on appearance, our own knowledge, and/or information from the sending shelters or previous owners. Because most of our adoptable dogs were previously in shelters, we can't be 100% sure of a dog's breed mix.
Dixie, a Maple Grove Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog for sale in Maple Grove, or seeking a Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog from a breeder in Maple Grove.
