Make Your Own Breed

[cassieknipp1987]

I am appalled at the incorrect information, Staffy. are the best! I love them! They ahve great personality, I had a mix, I rescued her, and she was a dog the wouldn't hurt a flea, lick ya tho death, but not bite! I can't believe the information, because people often read and believe anything thinking it is true and now are going to get the wrong impression. I have been telling people for years, since as long as I can remember, that we should stop all breeding, for 5 years, and give the current puppies, dogs and homeless animals a chance to find good homes, I saw 4~!! PUREBRED Huskies, at the pound, and 3 were strays! ,one a turned over pet. I cant believe it, my Pugsly is the best pet, but! I would never dream of mixing a pug/boxer and we suspect pit together....its astonishing the amount of irresponsibility I see in the people who breed. I have rescued, fostered and readopted out so many mixes, and I have to admit, they are they best, But I have also seen some pretty bad breeding as well. I am also very upset with several "rescue agencies" as some require tooooo much to adopt ( as in process, which scares people away) and others couldn't care less! oh, lord its scary where some of these pets end up. My pugsly cost me 20$ to adopt from the pound, because he was already fixed. You know how many Laboratories would die to find them that cheap, when they are paying alot more for stolen ones??? EKKK???? Pugs (short for pugsly) is an 8year old mix, nobody wanted, who was there for days and on his last ones. He is crate trained, house trained, likes cats, dogs, kids, people, and loves to sleep in my bed at night and cuddle with my kitten shadow. Nobody wanted him, mainly ( I suspect) because he is older, and has a pug/boxer face. So we saved him as a permanent addition to our household. He was a pet someone was forced to hand over to the pound as a kid got allergies or something, and when we called his old owner to get his shot records(way OVERDUE I might add, by 2 years!) She cried, and was happy he placed, as she had given him up awhile back and thought he was for sure to be euthanized. Though I am glad to have such a nice pet, he now has separation anxiety, as he grew with his last family for his entire life, until the kid got allergies, It is sad and I am sure he understands not, but he is my boy, he only has one quirk, he likes to pee on my furniture, not sure why, but he has only done it 3 times, mainly when left unsupervised (which won't be happening again, lol...) well, sorry to rant and vent, but I am glad to see others who believe along the same lines as me, since as long as I can remember, I have disagreed with all the overpopulation and breeding, though I know it will never happen, I do wish someone would take heed and devise a plan, or the animals that are in need and are no doubt GREAT, will no longer have anything to look forward to, no comfortable beds, a loving family, a good home,a nice doghouse, and food, playtime with the family children, all that will be gone....because of overpopulation........... some think I over eggagerate and dramatize, but imagine being a dog or cat, needing a home , and no one to take you in, because they have a pet, or bought a puppy, or have no room for more pets....wouldn't you be devastated??? This game was meant to be fun, I think I squandered that, but It is cute to make up your own mixes.... I would like a Greatdane/Doberman I love their loyalty, family values, intelligence, and strength. They are both so gorgeous,and soo wonderful. A Doberdane??? or Goberdane???

wow. this thread is borderline inapropriate because who knows who's going to find it.
ok that aside, I would say ACD and Dalmatian or maybe blue lacy and border collie, but that was hard, I just think about the pure bred loosing its good qualities! Who needs to cross when new colors are being bred anyway?!?

i think that website was totally incorrect. they say AST's arent as good with strangers. from what ive heard, there great with strangers. its only SOMETIMES they may not get along with other dogs. i looked on toy poodle (i have one) and most of it was pretty accurate. but they only gave 3 stars (or maybe four, i forget) for getting along with strangers, but my toy poodle mix LOVES strangers. she loves them so much, sometimes i worry she may get stollen. her mom and dad (dad full toy poodle, mom half) love people too. and only 3 for getting along with other dogs. yah right! my dog is afraid of big dogs, other wise she loves ones that are her size. they're right about how poodles bark ALOT
