I DO encourage rescues. Most rescue orgs will also require
sterilization.

Over the years I've had excellent luck with dogs that were abused.
Once they get nice treatment and realize the abuse is gone, they
are the happiest and loyal dogs there are. The rescue group ended
up contacting us when they had really bad cases. Most folks see a
dog that's half starved, covered in rashes, and whining *constantly*,
and they don't want anything to do with it. It only takes about a
week to turn that into the bestest dog in the whole world.

And **** you Vick even if I don't think you deserved jail.

I have a dog from a breeder, is jaybird implying I killed a pound dog?

Jaybird is probably satirizing the PETA chyck who held a sign up
saying the exact same thing at the big dog show.

Taken personally. *We bred Schnauzers for 20 years.

One of the trainers at the place I train my dog has a Schnauzer (the
small version). Very well trained, it is her demo dog. Also fun at
playtime given its grumpy, vocal nature.


The other thing that pisses me off is the attempt to blurr the line between
puppy mills and responsible breeders. Now, if it didn't come from a shelter- it
is a bad thing.


I took care when researching the breeder, pretty cool setup. Small
ranch on an island north of Seattle. Pups were exposed to horses,
goats, cats, kids, etc. He was obviously socialized early. The dog
really meets the temperament description for his breed which is what I
wanted.



Typical move- like blurring the lines between Semi-Automatic and Automatic.

I recall in an earlier post that Jaybyrd said he had children. Does
that mean he killed orphans?

Yeah, I think I would. If'n she'd shut the hell up about meat being
murder or some **** which she's probably constantly prattling on
about. Mutts rule, not as much.

(Not sure why the NASCRASH crew is assigned to the dog show, though.)

I've been in mutt dog shelters and I tell you, it's a sad sight.
Shame on those snobby "pure" dogs that turn up their noses at the poor
poodlehounds and boradors!

Yeah, well, it's not purebred dog lovers who bred the mutts - or the
purebreds - that end up in the shelter.

Nah, reputable breeders only have a few dogs a year for sale--the ones
who sell competitive (dog show quality) animals make you sign a huge
contract often requiring you to have the animal neutered or spayed if
not shown, and also giving them say over stud and dam choices as well
as right of first refusal on the puppies.

Here in the South just about every mutt available at the shelter has
some pitbull in it, and I wouldn't own a pit bull or a pit bull mix.

Also, someone who would buy from a breeder would not consider a rescue
mutt. *Believe me I know, having attended a few cat shows with rescue
organizations that thought they would be good places to showcase cats
for adoption. *Not.

Nonsense.

Purebreed (dogs) rescue groups are as often as not ran by people
within the particular breed, and they are interested in seeing that
the dogs are adopted by the right people--i.e. active breeds not
adopted out to people in apartments, breeds not tolerant of children
not adopted by families, etc. There is nothing inherently good or bad
about mixed breed dogs--whatever breeds they descended from will
determine their physical and mental characteristics.

Comparing cat fanciers to dog owners is a total apples/oranges
proposition.
