Your plans

[Giselle]

next spring i'll be getting a great dane fawn bitch. her name will be Heaven, but not sure on a registered name yet. i'll also be doing conformation and obediance with her. same socializing as the other pup. yes, i will have a male and female. NO I AM NOT GOING TO BREED THEM! IT WOULD BE UNETHICAL!

Lute, I'm NOT trying to bash on you or anything, but you are really contradicting yourself.

How is responsible breeding unethical? Furthermore, why are you even showing in conformation if you aren't going to breed??? Conformation is the evaluation of breeding stock. Dogs who are going to be shown are done so to prove themselves worthy of being bred. I can understand if you're just showing to gain the experience and have some fun, but you can do that just by signing yourself on as a handler.

I just don't see how responsible breeding is so "unethical". I plan to show and breed Pekingeses in the distant future, so that just irked me because it seems like my plans would be "unethical".

As for plans for a pup or a dog, we'll talk about this 10 years from now because I can't fathom the possibility of bringing a new dog into our household. I want a show Peke desperately, but I still need to do more research and find myself an active mentor.

The reason Lute won't be breeding them is because she can't because of the colors of her two dogs. You can't breed a fawn to a black or blue.

My dad and I plan on adopting a dachshund puppy this summer. So far, I don't plan on doing any sports with it. It will just be a pet, I'm excited!!

Ahh, thanks for explaining it. Color isn't a big deal for both Pekes and Greys so I'm not into all those color breedings.

I''ll be getting my Dane in a few years. It will be a male Harlequine or Merle. I will be taking him EVERYWHERE with me. Pretty much the same plans as Lute lol.

Bringing him to pet stores all the time and get into some kind of obidence or something. I also want him to be a therapy dog.
I cant wait to get him!!!!

I already have other preperations..like collar coulors ect...lol

Just like dab_20 said. you can only breed fawns with fawn or brindle. only blues with blues or blacks. only blacks with blues, harls, and mantles. you can see all the acceptable breeding colors here.

I'm working on obedience and socialization now. In 6 weeks she's going to start some bite work. I was originally dead set on Schutzhund but now I'm thinking about French Ring.
