The shelter clearly missed their opportunity - they could have sold him to me as a fox-pie or Kel-terrier and made me pay more as a designer breed.

flame ryder Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well der Remarkabull, dontcha know Pal does parachute food drops to wild dingoes, couldn't have them eating raw food could we! I did ask him how he figured it to be true, you know, seeing how dogs have been killing animals and eating the raw for quite some time but he obviously knows something I don't! Don't feed your dogs raw meat...it will give them worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 so my friend has been on a waiting list for a puppy for a while now, the puppy was born, chosen and she was supposed to pick him up next week...except this picked him up this week at only 7 weeks. asked her what the deal was with that and she said the breeder called on the weekend said puppy has had his health check and injections and she can come pick him up, however because legally puppies are not allowed to be let go till 8 weeks the breeder is just keeping all the records till next week! he told her that he used to sell the puppies at 6 weeks till the law started cracking down on it, so he tells everyone 8 weeks then when they turn 7 weeks he's confidant they are for real, not just trying to catch him at anything and says "hey come get your puppy!" ya cuz the law is totally stupid, and there is absolutely no reason for it its not even like the breeder is entirely unethical, I mean obviously he is, but he never breeds before the age of 3, fully health tests all of his dogs, sells on non breeding contracts etc.. so where the heck did he miss the boat on THAT one? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackJaq Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 What breed? Some people find that for example LGDs bond better to stock the earlier they start the process, especially if the breeder has no stock. It didn't use to be unusual for dogs to go to new homes at 6 or 7 weeks and be fine and while I don't agree with this there are probably worse things. It is the law however, so I would comply with the 8 weeks minimum regardless of what I thought of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) its a long haired GSD, while I agree its not the WORST thing ever, going our of your way to circumvent the law for no good reason is ridiculous!

Fevah Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Same thing that always annoys me - that apparently I own Chihuahuas...I'm sorry they are clearly Miniature Pinschers. Also, every dog owner thread I find on the Internet is filled with these pompous know-it-alls who just want to argue about how they're right about everything. I don't even get acknowledged anymore, because forum regulars are too busy fighting with each other. Should of just stayed on dol :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birkat Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Walking my Bernese Mountain Dog and my Australian Shepherd (black tri) when a couple approaches us. He: ’Do you sell puppies?’ Me: ‘Why would you assume that? He: ‘Isn’t that a boy and a girl and you can breed with them?’ Me: ‘No, that are 2 girls and are different breeds” He: Or Walking the same dogs and people assume that they are mother and puppy……… Sorry cannot attach pics, but they do definitely look different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottsmum Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 My newest rescue adoption pup has been coming to work with me. After hour, he gets to pay in the consult room whilst I'm cleaning up. Yesterday a surgery pick up was running really late and as she came in, she spotted my little guy running around. Her comment of "oh, what a lovely kelpie puppy you are" had me totally confused. My pup is a foxy cross Chihuahua, and weighs about 800gms, he's black and white and looks nothing like a kelpie :) I didn't bother correcting her :) I was already at work for half hour after my shift. LOL. Maybe it was the same lady who said it to me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't know about things could fill a warehouse. If *I* know something, my rule in life is that everyone else should. ps berners are soooo adorables.

Lollipup Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 He: "You should add breeding to your business because there is BIG money in it these days!"Me: "I don't believe in breeding for money, there is a lot more to it than that. It's quite involved and expensive and you don't actually make much money if you do it properly with all the health testing etc"He: screws up his face, "what? You just put a male and female together and it makes puppies, what is so hard about that?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerB Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Sort of said but more actions. Walking my boy the other day, coming in our direction a young couple with a small fluffy. I move to one side of the path, and put Duke on the other side of me so he's not next to their dog when we pass. They then move their dog to the same side. Still coming, i move him to the other side. He's cruising no probs, when they get close the small fluffy goes ballistic. Duke gets excited, jumps around a bit, all by my side, min 1-2m from their dog. They struggle to control the small dog. Icing on the cake - The lady starts with soft panicked screams to her OH "OMG OMG look at that thing, did you see it, AAAGH, move" Pushing the OH so she can get further than the 3m she already is from my boy, who's still by my side. Dogs laws need to allow owners to slap another owner in these situations Edited January 22, 2014 by BoxerB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sometimes the fluffy owners are just so special... We get a bit of that too. And you know what? Regardless of size you can usually tell how nutso the dog will be by watching the owner interact with it. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
