Breedia Dog Forum
Glad it gives you comfort to attempt to make puns out of usernames. I thought you were supposed to be informing the ignorant dog-loving world...
I still don't get what you mean about your 'like a science' breedings. As in, are the dogs DNA sequenced or something? The effects of popular sires...
Here's the ad: http://hull.gumtree.com/hull/17/44493017.html I've emailed the seller asking a bit about him (I really shouldn't look at dogs on...
Simira, he's in Gainsborough on G Tree. Yep, definitley sounds like they missed a zero - even so, I'd be surprised that a fairly 'niche' breed...
I've just seen an ad on a freead site for a Norwegian Buhund. I have to say, I hadn't even heard of the breed, but they look lovely. Anyone know...
So you have a book with some pedigrees in - how does that relate to today's dogs? Who keeps the records? This thread is really not very...
Is there any proper record keeping going on in these breeds? I bet half the dogs sold as Irish Staff have no papers at all, so who's to know whether...
I just think it's pointless - if you don't have a particular purpose/selection of traits in mind, or want a crossbreed, why not rescue a dog?
I suppose it's easier to do it that way, then you don't have to work on sorting the 'breed' out as a whole - just call the pretty, amiable ones...
I know there are more NI numerically, but that doesn't mean the gene pool is necessarily any bigger. What made you think the gene pool was any...
Gosh, I nearly died. So the Alsatian Shepalute is created by God? And nature knows best when it comes to breeding, but you make sure the right dogs...
I really like the look of Slovaks too, but I too share your worries and believe that if a gene pool is too tiny to begin with, none of the health...
It makes me quite cross. Although I'm very involved with my family dogs and one is kind of mine as I trained him, I'd love to have my own own dog....
As Whistlecraft has said, GSPs have thicker coats, but I still use coats for them. They're fine working 'coatless' in winter but I coat them up if...
Totally agree on both points - exactly my experience too. Of the two, I'd have to go for the Spinone I think, as they're such clowns and if you...
I know I sound like a broken record, but I do wonder about the future. I agree with what Scarter is saying: that small breeds with abnormal hips are...
Keeping to on lead excercise for 2 years sounds excessive to me. If dogs can't run for two years of their life without needing surgery (apart from...
So let's just hope there's never a trend for 'Giant Beagles'..
The circles you mix in; could they possibly be circles which a dysplastic beagle would not inhabit? I mean, if it was symptomatic HD, the dog...
I thought they could be shown after the ban, if docked legally with proper documentation from the vet, but cannot be shown at any show where the...
