I've stepped on Breeders Toes - I understand

That is horrible that your little puggle has cancer. Do you think that the other puppies he sells would also have this?

:shrug:
research tells me both pugs and beagles are prone to it. poor little guy. He's got tumors in many spots, and the largest one is on his mouth. it's about the size of a large pea and all bumpy. Zita bit it off, because she was troubled by it, i knew when she did that, something terrible was up.

I have to ask where did the Queensland Puppy you are selling come from?

The ACD puppy is from my own 2 ACDs purchased from fellow horse/cattle breeders. Parents are stock dog registered. She is a singleton puppy who won't be registered. Your point is?

Frankly, neither myself nor anyone else reading this thread had the need to see all that text you posted about "what a BYB is". And BYBs rarely read forums regarding breeding dogs.

What the world needs more of, are caring breeders, willing to only breed a few quality puppies, specifically destined for perfect "pet" homes. Most "show dog" breeders I know snow themselves and others into believing everything they breed is bound for greatness, and charge an arm and a leg for it. My Rottie pups aren't cheap, but they certainly aren't expensive compared to what pet stores get for them. I have a long waiting list for the one or occasionally 2 litters i breed each year.

BTW we also had another Rottie Champion finish at the Salisbury MD show this past weekend, and another female went Best of Breed and Best of Opposite both days in NH this weekend. We'll have 3 more champions to our kennel name this year, and hopefully another one in my house by next summer. These are from 2 different moms, over the last 3 years. All three are either OFA Good or Excellent, heart clear, eyes clear. THAT's quality breeding for ya.

This whole thing is rediculous. Krazed, do what you want to do. Pizzed off breeders, do what you want to do. Simple as that.

I asked because I didn't see the parent information for the puppy on your site.

YOU asked my definition of a BYB. And I will venture to say there are plenty of BYBs reading the forums, as many of them do not admit even to themselves that they are BYBs. As many BYB that advertise on the classifieds I'm sure they "stumble" in here occasionally.

I have no beef w/you. I have seen that you show and title your Rottweilers, congratulations, and you are right - that is quality breeding.

Wow! I am glad I read this thread. I commend you KK. The breeders of my Jack Russel have asked me to keep in touch with them. I haven't written in almost year now. They live in upper PA and now I think I understand their reasoning. I guess I can update my dogs webpage and send em an E. Thanks for the reminder.

Well, I know what I'm going to do, I'm heading to the vet in about an hour to pick up the Siberian Husky/Australian Shepherd we rescued from Tri-County last week.

That's awesome! If you can post a picture, I bet it is a good looking dog!

We have the "puppy" home. If you can call 79.5 lbs. a puppy (and he's still a little underweight). He's a sweety, but we're not too sure about the mix of Siberian Husky and Australian Shepherd. We're thinking more Akita and Australian Shepherd -- anybody agree? His red eyes are actually pale, pale blue!

 

[changeling]

I'm no expert on dogs but I believe you have a very cute bear/lion cross.

 

[happyappygirl]

He looks sort of like a leonberger. THEY'RE a cool breed.

I've always wanted a French Briard but there's none I can find in this area.

Very cute pup, wait till he really fills out!!

OMG you're right, we looked at the site and he does look like a leonberger. We noticed from the breed standards that one of the disqualifying traits was lack of brown in the eyes and that's what he has, a total lack of brown in the eyes since they are more white than blue. He's got a great personality, loves other dogs and is learning to tolerate cats. The shelter didn't know too much about him because he was an owner surrender and had just gotten there about an hour before we did. It took us a whole 5 minutes to decide to adopt him (we were looking for a small pug and, of course, he was the next closest thing). The only thing we really know is that he was too "active" and "not quite house broken". So far he's been very quiet with no accidents and much less active than the terriers we have known and loved. He takes well to the crate and loves his interaction time in the home theater.

He's cute! Definitely looks like he could be an akita mix! Sometimes shelters and adoption groups don't quite label the dogs correctly. I'm sure it's hard to guess at it sometimes, but sometimes it's quite obvious that they call it something they think is cuter or better so it'll get adopted.

Regardless of breed that is one handsome dog. I go to the tri county often, but I don't think I could handle another dog in my life. Sometimes I feel like I don't have enough time for the one I have already. I go, they tear at my heart.

Been there...done that..hated it.
My friend went and saw 2 poms, fell in love, only to be told the owner "might decide not to let them be adopted"

Definitely a cool looking dog! Congratulations, I think you got a better deal than a pug woulda been!

Thanks, I agree! Have to admit our neighbors have raised their eyebrows every time we've taken him for a walk and a couple of cars have slowed down -- probably wouldn't have gotten those reactions with a pug. Can't wait until he gets to visit the horses in a few weeks.

What a handsome boy!! I agree, Akita Aussie mix you'll know when he starts herding.
