I posted on Pets BC looking for older labs. I got this email from a Boxer breeder. She is totally against spaying/neutering and vets in general. Give me your thoughts and if you'd like to email her, PM me for the email address.
Hello there,
During the last decade I battled with the CVMA over the official
guidelines which are not being released to the public. By then I had
acquired sufficient veterinary knowledge, even though my profession had
little to do with veterinary medicine, to check every diagnosis reported by
my dog owners on the boxer breed. The policy of the CVMA was and still is
that only the dog owner can successfully report a misdiagnosis. However, for
several years following my complaints, some vets would first ask who the
breeder of the boxer was before examining the dog. This fact resulted in a
temporary improvement which soon wore off.
Regarding pedigrees behind registered dogs, only the dogs in the pedigree
can give you the information on how to raise and maintain any dog correctly.
If you are not interested in the make-up of a dog, you are not interested in
the dog itself, and you will do nothing but neglect the needs of a dog.
Food, water and exercise, and of course cutting it up to suit the fad of the
American society by neutering and spaying do nothing for the dog but provide
it with a poor life. Those dogs are better off dead than be called "family
members".
The SPCA, our official dog and puppy mill, imported illegally anti-purebred
pamphlets from American animal rights organizations and displayed those
pamphlets on their shelves back in the early 90s. This society gathers
questionable dogs and sells second hand dogs for outrageous prices, and is
nothing else but a dog mill business. We do not give a dog to anybody who
donates to this society or has ever purchased a dog from them. The animal
rights policy of "Kill and Extinct" applies to registered animals, and has
been practiced by these groups and organizations for almost 50 years now.
Even though some of the volunteers may believe that they are doing a good
deed, the ultimate goal of the SPCA is that of the animal rights
movement, quote thousands of unwanted dogs and derive a business from
selling them. Back in the 90s, a volunteer of a Vancouver Island SPCA was
breeding repeatedly "roadside abandoned puppies" and supplying the SPCA.
Dog's were and still are being labeled and displayed "on death row" when
potential buyers visit the premises of the SPCA.
The latest business ventures are animal rights breeders of registered pet
dogs. This lucrative business of attracting buyers with "neutering and
spaying contracts" or "we will not crop the puppies ears" is taking off like
a storm. As you mentioned correctly, cropping ears is out but the far more
dangerous operations with considerable damage to the dogs are in. Cropping
the ears, tail or removing the dew claws are exterior cosmetic surgeries,
while spaying is an operation damaging the dog for the convenience of
irresponsible dog owners. Although, I do not remove dew claws, crop the tail
or ears at this time because I adhere to Continental breed standards, all
boxer ears bred from American boxers must be cropped because they were bred
for generations to be cropped and are not suited to be left natural.
All we know about animal cruelty cases is the fact that they are being used
to put the animals of honest dog owners and breeders under the ground. This
has been practiced in Europe for over two decades, and I would not be
surprised that the BCVMA is doing it to vets. It is nothing else but another
attack on the few people residing on this continent who know what a dog is,
and who promote the real dog.
Regards,
CAMANO BOXER
