Breedia Dog Forum
Do facts and figures really matter that much? Its been proven that there are some high hip scores and instances of HD. Its been proven that there...
Thanks arctic.wolf :-) I'm glad it made sense lol. I know this can happen in all breeds and not just wolfie looking ones but I think its time for...
I'm a total newbie when it comes to inbreeding and health issues although I have known for manay years that it can cause health problems. The way I...
Thank you :grin: I'm not confident at all in the pedigree. The inbreeding could be worse or it could be better but either way, not knowing for...
Where did I say that there were health problems with the pups?? I said that I was shocked at the inbreeding on my boy's pedigree especially on his...
How on earth am I supposed to know that? I was not the breeder nor do I own any other pups bred from the same line.
Flippin heck!!!! I thought my dog's pedigree was bad :shock:
Nope, I counted 12 dogs with health problems. I only counted the dog with many health problems as 1 dog. I have no idea whether it is genuine or...

Excellent post Mo :grin: I would not contact the breed rescue until after the dog is neutered. All rescue centre's that I know have a spay/neuter...
I totally agree with everything you said. Its the poor owners that are left with useless and possibly unhealthy dogs that I really feel for. The...
I'm with Louise13 on option number 8. Stop all breeding until they can find a way forward that will be beneficial to the breeds health etc.
I've only just found it :shock: Its given me a few lightbulb moments.
Patch, it is a really good age for my boy and a real achievement that I havent killed him before now :lol: He isnt named Trouble for no reason you...
Awww poor Loki :cry: I'm glad it wasnt very severe but still not nice for either of you. I hope you both enjoy your walk together. xxxx
Poor Loki and you too LS. Its horrible to see your dog go through this. I remember how I felt when I had to watch my GSD many years ago having fits....
Yip, she is at the moment but we have had a fair few dominance squabbles surprisingly. She has kept her status so far and I cant see her losing it...
Thank you :grin: (to everyone else who has replied to my pics also) Trouble is really healthy and has only ever been to vet for basics,...
