So how exactly does one introduce a cat to a dog?
My FOX RED Lab puppy will be arriving in 2 1/2 weeks (*yippy!*). Her Royal
Highness Queen Snot (a 6 lb. tabby & white year old cat) has yet to meet a dog. Any suggestions, besides locking them in a bathroom together and waiting for the puppy to holler "OUCH!" when sharp-foot meets nose? -- Emily Carroll http://www.geocities.com/diamonds_in...yes/index.html --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I just have a small question... How is asking how to introduce a puppy and a cat equate to being an irresponsible owner? I didn't see her asking how she could breed her dog in there anywhere. Jen |

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I thought I saw Emily say she was getting into breeding or showing labs. I don't think anyone should be breeding dogs while my wife is killing puppies who don't have a home. the sooner she castrates her puppy the better. [jake] Jen |

Please do the right thing and have your puppy sterilized before bringing
him home. He's a show dog. Sterilization isn't a possibility unless he ends up being either not showable or failing his health certs. ~Emily --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I don't think anyone should be breeding dogs while my wife is killing puppies who don't have a home. I can personally guarantee to you that ANY puppy that may be sired by my dog will (a) NEVER end up in a shelter, and (b) If by some twist of fate does, and I'm alerted to it, WILL NOT DIE THERE if there is the most remote chance I can do anything about it. Responsible breeders aren't the ones producing dogs that end up in shelters, people who don't care are. ~Emily --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

WTF? Where did this come from? Certainly not from this post or
any of the others that Emily has written here over the years. Years. Many people think it's unethical to breed a dog that isn't from field lines, that's all. Somehow show dogs aren't capable of hunting (though many do), are too fat to do anything (though most of them I've met are in excellent shape), or don't have the drive to earn field championships (which is true, but I don't see a point in a competitive field competition when we have hunt tests). ~Emily --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I've seen lots of posts from Emily stating that she wants to become a breeder and produce a dual champion Labrador. You can't do that with a non standard lab. She's seems terribly ill-informed? Are you a breeder? Is that why you are so sensitive? [jake] |

It's just another example of why it's wise when subbing onto a newsgroup to read, get the feel of the ng, and get to know the regulars a little, before jumping in with one's opinons. Well, I've been popping in occasionally for a few months, and it seems that Emily is dead set on breeding, and now she's got a non standard Lab. She wants to become a breeder and she has a whole page of imaginary breedings at her website, which is kind of disturbing to me. I don't think Emily should be breeding dogs. What's the big deal about that? According to her web site, she wants to train dogs as a career and shows in obedience. I saw something about agility too, didn't see anything about her wanting to become a breeder. Even if she did, I don't see that as an evil thing, so long as she is a responsible breeder. Popping in on a ng occasionally is not going to tell you much about either the ng or its regulars. Of course, you have every right to do that if you choose, but don't be surprised if people jump all over you when you're wrong, such as now. I'll be you've never had to put down litters of beautiful labrador puppies? If you had did, maybe you'd be singing a different tune? I'll bet you don't know a thing about me. I volunteered as assistant to the euthanasia tech at our local shelter for a while, and I know a bit about overpopulation and unwanted animals. This however has nothing at all to do with responsible breeders, because responsible breeders don't contribute to that problem. Mustang Sally |
