Wheres the rspca when you need them !...how these people have been allowed to breed animals like this for as long as they have is beyond me....purposely breeding unhealthy dogs ? creating a whole breed of dog that cant breath properly,has a short lifespan,and cannot do many normal day to day pet dog tasks........all in the name of fashion....it disgusts me......i dont know who is worse the kennel club for doing it or the rspca for allowing it !

The thing is dawnb you are talking about a dogs general health and well being as a pet animal...im not...im talking about the ultimate in sporting prowess in a dog......if that means that in 1 litter 5 dogs are culled and 2 remain alive to become very good sporting dogs then so be it.... Im not saying inbreeding is of benefit to the pet dog world...its not we know that.....if i wanted an average run of the mill pet dog to curl up round the fireside then i would not select an inbred animal......if on the other hand i was looking for a top sporting dog i would look at its ped and understand wha
-
EAXCTLY !...because basic genetic principals hold we can use them as a tool to produce what we are looking for......thats what we do,we USE those principals.......with extreme selection we can produce very quickly what we otherwise couldnt if sticking to basic unrelated genes......yes of course you increase the risk of harm....BUT you also increase the chance of the good traits you are looking for coming out...........keeping them,and using them,and keeping the bad traits that will also come out away.....is why the selection process is THE most important aspect of any breeding programme.

Apologies to the original poster for babbling on i just cant stand people who close their eyes and ears to everything in favour of reading from a book ! The dog pictured looks a good example and sounds a very well bred animal ....i only have a little experience with whippets,they wasnt for me....but impressive little dogs all the same....good luck rehoming him.
-
Dawn B ...i dont wish to offend you as i certainly cant be bothered getting into an internet argument....but with respect i have come across your sort before......people who think long scientific words prove they know how to breed sporting dogs.....it just doesnt work like that.....when it comes to dogs bred for the extremes of sporting prowess there just isnt any classroom or text book that will teach that....because breeding to extremes is justnot done very much......show me a text book or scientist who teaches people how to breed extreme fighting gameness in dogs ?...extreme working ability
-
You really should learn a little about in/linebreeding before coming out with such a statement......there are sporting breeds that have dogs going back up to 20 times back to a certain good dog in its ped.....and there is simply no way these dogs would survive the sporting tests put on them if there was anything wrong with them......8 times back to a dog 5 generations back in the ped would be considered quite loose line breeding.....8 times back to a dog 3 generations back would be quite tight inbreeding.....do you even know how many gens back the dog thats been linebred on was ? Not to be re

Yep,cheers Bill sounds about right....never had any experience with docked breeds myself so all new to me....apparently it all came under the animal welfare act.....as regards dewclaws im pretty sure its not illegal to whip them off.....to be honest ive never really paid much attention to these breeds but ive kept an eye out for dobermans the last few days and they certainly look a bit odd with tails on....in fairness i cant see any reason a doberman would need its tail docked not being a working breed and all but i think its ridiculous with some other breeds that might work but might not what
-
No its only a pet.....bloody 700 notes as well .......and a pedigree of meaningless bullshit ....tried to talk her out of it but thats birds for you.....
-
So lets get this right,they have to be docked before their eyes are open....but it has to be proven they are to be working dogs.......so out of an 8 dog litter the breeder has to predict which pups will make the grade as workers and which ones wont ....and how do you prove a dog may make a worker one day !!.....they really need to think these laws through before they make them
-
ok I gotta ask this....if you know enough about dobes to be able to pick the best one....surely you would have known the law about their tails???? I know absolutely nothing about dobermans........but ive bred enough dogs over 30 years to be able to pick out the structurally most sound and healthy specimen of any litter regardless of its breed hence the lady wanting the pup knows ive been round dogs all my life and asked this small favour........so the fact they no longer have tails means i dont know what im looking at or for ?......dont try being a clever dick mate its not big and n
-
Oh thank god for the good old rspca...........i suppose they think this will make up for the hundreds of innocent dogs they have killed over the years.........lets see them hold their hands up and apologise for the almighty f**k up they have made over the last 18 years !....or is that asking too much like.
-
Was asked by a friend to go pick out the best made pup of a litter of dobermans today....i was somewhat surprised to see tails behind them,when i asked the breeder what the score was she said it was illegal to dock tails in england but not ireland and it applies to all breeds....anyone know if this is right or what the situation is ?

Heat for me......de niro v pacino in the same film....2 legends of our generation.

does anyone else supliment there dogs food
gnasher16 replied to JPTfellterrier's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Personally i think people go completely over the top these days with supplements.....the reality is most people do not need peak fitness from their dog but give supplements anyway.....all it amounts to in most cases is expensive piss !.....a dog not being worked hard will see no benefit from supplements.....for general maintenance a good balanced healthy diet is enough....if you up the dogs work then in turn up his protein.....but this idea of giving supplements for the sake of it is just another needless trend in most cases. -
Surely theres a big difference between poor grammar and this pathetic meaningless language kids are talking these days.....most of us over a certain age im sure dont even bother reading some of the stuff written in this language,after all said and done forums are for reading so if you cant write properly then dont expect someone to read it !.....another thing that grates on me is this dopey " feck " buiseness whats all that about if your going to swear then swear its got a u in it not an e !....i cant stand all these stupid trends why do people these days somehow see it as boring to just be no

1 thing to remember about each of these legends is Frazier......chose his own path,after his career ended he was a rich man but chose to live amongst what he terms " his own people "......joe was never the most intelligent chap and unlike today back then sportsmen didnt have agents/advisors etc that would advise them financially through life,hence joe made some bad decisions with hindsight,but he has lived a happy and relatively healthy life doing what he loved to do. Ali.....was a very intelligent man...what most people see as brash and ignorant was basically the act that paved the way for

sounds overpriced mate....a friend just bought the same car on a 55 plate similar spec with 50k miles for 8000 not the best time of year either.

gnasher16 replied to kreet's topic in Optics and Night Vision
So because you go hunting that gives you the right to deal unwanted dogs ?...you have a twisted outlook on life kreet and every story you tell is to suit you and your peddling ways........there is clearly no point telling you what you already know but try to deny i only hope the mods of this site have the moral fibre to stop you because you cant stop yourself. As for a sad life,if my life ever became so sad that i had to resort to making a few quid from unwanted dogs i would hope my friends would pull me up....but your friends seem incapable of living their life without you selling dogs for t -

You certainly tell a fine story kreet......its like one long merry go round !........so you make no money and you dont like the shit you get.........most people would say why bother doing it then......then again,maybe you are just one of these saintly individuals every dog would love to have as his owner.....for a few weeks ! Personally i think the mods of this site should put the block on your for sale posts....they put the block on anything from bull terrier fitness to pride in our national flag....yet peddling the arse out of potential hunting dogs on what after all is a hunting website... -

The thing is kreet....you clearly have so many dogs going through your hands you cant remember half of the stories you have said.....i cant be arsed digging up some of your old posts but you have obviously forgot the one you said about your 3 dogs in kennels,1 in the home and 1 you was having to keep in the kitchen because it didnt get on with the others..........thats certainly different to 1 lakeland ! or maybe that was a different home....or a different lifetime.....to be honest its not my buiseness or anybody elses what you do......but when you put yourself up as some sort of dog rehoming -

The thing is mate...a rescue service will make none/or very little money....they will also have ( or should have ) appropriate housing/conditions for dogs......now that is the very basics...why should kreet earn any money when he clearly does not have the appropriate conditions for dogs that others are willing and happy to do for free ?.......i would call that exploitation !.....and why is he the only person who 99 % of his friends and family keep but cant look after dogs for whatever reason he comes up with....does he have some sort of god given duty to do this honourary service,does he adver -

Is it not about time the moderators moderated the posts of this f*****g div !.....sorry for the language but sometimes its the only language idiots like this understand.......we constantly see threads and posts deleted for whatever reason a mod sees fit,one the other day was binned because it contained talk about fit staffordshire bull terriers !!!......so surely these ridiculous childlike for sale posts from kreet can be got rid of cant they ? what good are people like this to the dog scene in britain they do far much more harm than good ?....he obviously doesnt have the pride to stop it hims -
No surprise to me.....ive been saying for a long time that mir is one of the best if not the best heavyweights out there....most people laughed at me for saying it but id take fighting intelligence over brute force every time and mir proved this again....evans/griffin went pretty much as i thought the only real surprise was jackson/silva but then a first round cold ko can go either way and jackson landed first. Anyway,mirs win made my night and maybe now he will start getting the credit he deserves.
