him.And my rabbits are both purebred.One I adopted from a shelter and
the other from a breeder whos bunnies have won lots of championships.
Thankyou so much to the 2 previouse posts who have been able to act intelligently and curtiously I was beggining to wonder if this site was being run by overly aggressive neanderthals.
Luckily I have learnt to judge the deed not the breed!!!!
I find that its always those who attack that have nothing intelligent to add to a conversation. Thankyou again and I will deffinently lok up these sites
Most of us here feel that there are enough dogs in shelters to serve as wonderful family pets. If you want something more (like working dogs or show dogs) then breeding is acceptible. Welcome to the forum. I'd like to see pictures of your girl.
i agree with lizbud..i think some of you are being extremly rude.. mydogflick why dont you introduce yourself and tell us a bit more about you and your dogs? I'm a huge fan of bully breeds, we'd love to see pics if you have any! :D
Flatcoat lover my brother has shown 2 of the male pups from our previouse dam.
LWDS both my dog and the stud dogs are KCC registered and of show quality we DONT breed to show as it is not my interest personally. THere are only 2 dogs bred from our lineage that are not desexed and that is my dam and one of my cousins dams. We live in Outback Australia and are not always able to attend Kcc meetings and Staffy club meetings .
Buttercup I looked at your site of all your pets "Rockee is a good Mummy and had a fake pregnancy so you brought her her own pup?????? sounds to me like she has been bred and she is a mutt not at all a champion. Also picking up free kittens from the showgrounds sounds to me like encouraging irresponsible breeding. Please dont judge unless you are an open book willing to be judged as well
There was no need for that comment.Quote:

I am guessing that you love staffy's right? Of corse you do or you would not own and breed. How does it make you feel when hundred of PURE and mixes of staffys are put to sleep everynight. I hate to sound crude, but by breeding you are adding to that list.
Obviously you didnt read it properly seeing as I said I ADOPTED him from a SHELTER. I didnt get him for free either I paid $125 for him.Quote:

And Ya my parents tried to breed her before they knew about the dogs in shelters etc and they wanted her to have a litter of puppies before she was spayed so either way they still planned on spaying her. Thankfully it didnt work and she had a false pregnency.
Miss z you are right I did act aggresively in response to being attacked on my very first thread on this forum and for that I will appologise. I should know better than to treat aggression with aggression.
Buttercup I read your story on princess and thoght that it meant that you got the cat free at the show from a petting zoo!!! Is that not correct?? I am not trying to attack you or to say what you have done is wrong but rather to point out to you that people in glass houses shouldnt really be the ones throwing the biggest stones
From what I have read I would say you are correct. ;)Quote:

Ya and I got her when I was like 9 from a fair.But I didnt know any better and I'll admitt I probly would even now. I dont think I could leave a bunch of sick kittens at a fair where who knows what could happen to them. People could take them for bait for dog fighting seeing as they were free.
flatcoat lover do you not agree with any breeding? And if not wont that just totally wipe out all breeds? I am not exactly sure what I am doing wrong here? Our dogs are all very loved and looked after. We have never sold a puppy to anyone nor do we ever plan to. Our dogs are KCC registered and have no floors ie skin conditions eye problems or hip problems and our girl is always closely monitered by our bet when she is pregnant. I have read all the proper text books and listened to vets and show breeders opinions on how to breed and the reasons behind single births and puppy size and they vary greatly. I was just after a laymans opinion as I tend to value hands on experience and peoples varied opinions as much as those written and learnt from textbooks.
I learned a very valuable (why can't I spell today?) lesson not too long ago when the breeder I got Frankie and Halfy from (my disabled doxies) came to me yet again to ask if I would take any of her deformed puppies. This time I said NO! No way! I cannot take her pups everytime something goes wrong. By me taking a pup yet again would just encourage her to breed one more time, because you know, Cass will just take the deformed ones home. :rolleyes: She has since got the male fix and hopefully will fix the female soon as well. This is why I never get dogs or cats from a petshop, they are either abandoned at my work or found somewhere. Then I take them home and fix them all up. :DQuote:
