All them bitches...

That's a cute pup, but I tell you what...I'd have to be pretty damn stupid to shell out $800 for some "purebred" dog when you can get a great dog (that really needs a home)at an animal shelter for $100 or less. There are already so many dogs out there and you're gonna make more? That's a shitty decision, but look who we're talking about. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

i'm going to stick up for 4rotor here. Dogs that come from a good breed have been proven to have better personalities, and be less likely for terminal or disabiliting illnesses (well...some stuff runs in the breed such as bad hips for labs, ect.) The dogs i have seen that come from a shelter tear **** up, get sick and die, ect. I'm not saying that there are some good dogs there, but 800 bucks is a good thing to spend to know the dog will not flip out and bite your children.

Thanks rfreeman27,attomica go read up on these dogs and see why there so special.Why do I want to breed them is because they are a rare breed and I want to keep them from dieing out.Go see if you can find one in a pet store! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif I dont want to fight with you on this just chill.

my parents have always had pound puppies and never had a problem.... obviously you can have problems. i guess we are just lucky

Im not saying you cant find great dogs at the pound.

any purebred animal is about 100x more likely to die from a gene mutation due to it being purebred then any non-purebred animal. So i'm guessing you made up the whole "it's been proven" thing.



thats why humans generally stray from incest, it cause mutations and eventual death.



kevin.

I'm glad you like your dog and I hope you take good care of him. Your wanting to breed him so the breed doesn't die out is admirable, but I don't buy it. You plainly stated you want to sell them to NP member at a discount for $500. You just want to create another puppy mill so you can make some money.

also they're not THAT rare, they are considered rare but that doesnt mean there are like 10 left.



if you really want to breed them, properly not just let her get pregnant and dump out babies proper breeding takes experience and skill, then go here http://puppydogweb.com/caninebreeds/ads/am...icanbulldog.htm and buy the other gender.



kevin.

actaully kevin, my mother was looking into dog breeding, so we did alot of research on the topic. Im not trying to start a war or anything here. Yes, there are diseases that can run through the breeds from over breeding. I agree with you. But i would rather take a dog where I know where it was bread then a street dog. My family has not had good experences with pound puppies, thats all.

and here is my doggy.

Having been a Certified Veterinary Assistant for eleven years, I'm gonna have to dispute what you're saying. How has it been proven that purebred dogs have better personalities or are less likely to contract terminal or disabiliting illnesses? Mixed breed dogs have the benefit of a varied genetic structure and will take on the best properties of their component breeds whereas purebred dogs are usually products of puppy mills (at least in the U.S.) and are most likely to suffer from mutations like:



- Deafness (Dalmatians)

- Hip Dysplasia (German Shepards)

- Dermal Deterioration (Shar Peis)

- Occular Degeneration (Cocker Spaniels)



...And the list goes on. Notice how these are the "popular" breeds? It's well-chronicled in all kinds of Veterinary Medical publications and it's always attributable to poor breeding practices.



From my own experience, mixed-breed dogs are by far the very best dogs anyone could hope to have. Shelter dogs are especially good because I think they actually knew their situation and are grateful for being "saved" from it. The best dogs I ever had interaction with at the Animal Hospital were shelter dogs and, conversely, the purebred dogs were the ones I had the most trouble with. Of course, maybe that's because there were a lot more purebred dogs in the hospital than mixed-breed dogs, which is an interesting fact in itself. It just confirms my point.



As far as dogs that "tear **** up, get sick and die, ect", mixed-breed dogs aren't predisposed to this nor are purebred dogs exempt from it. Both can tear **** up, it's up to the owner or handler to train the dog against it. Both can get sick and die, it's up to the owner or handler to ensure diet, vaccinations and environment are optimized for the dog's health.



Of course, this is my opinion, but it's an educated one. I'm sorry your experience has been less favorable.

ok well i have two purebred german shorthair pointers. (one of which was bred between two dogs in the nation's top ten list of hunting dog (ranked by bloodline, ability, and competitions)) Even that dog has genetic defects, true they may not be apparent but after enough pure-breeding they will be visible.



as for pound puppies...not just mutts are pound puppies. there are purebreds in the pound as well. So are you going against pounds or simply mutts? Because i can attest to the fact that most mutts are also very loving.



basically this thing is going nowhere.

I am in no way trying to argue here. There is no reason, im not a vet...you are. I see your point.



Having that said, the dog we got from the pound as a puppy has cost us alot of money. She has sense passed away, but had many problems. I dont know the technical terms, but her bladder lines didnt ...seal...well. She always had a constant urine leak. After two very expensive surgerys the problem was not fixed. The dog also had other health problems, including diabeties. She had to go on special food, ect. Again I do not know the exact situation, it was my mothers dog. The dog was the sweetest dog i have ever met. Im not going to argue there, it was a great dog becdes her health problem. Near her death she could not even stand up do to the aurthritis.



The dog lived to be 7 years old, and was a choclate lab.



My aunt and uncle get pound dogs as well. They have had obedance problems in some of them. After trying their hardest to train the dogs and sending them to obedance school they still dont behave. I think the best way to solve that is buy a younger dog.

Here's mine. The one on the left (Cody) is 4 years old and we got him from the local shelter. He's 4.9 lbs. The one on the right is Lexie, and she's 6 months old and 5.2 lbs. They are great friends https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png They are both Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies).

This is my Staffordshire bull terrier Bazza. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

That's a cute mother fucker!

I have no pics.. my dog is a german shepard and border colly mix. I actually plan on getting another dog.. but I'm not sure what kind I want.. thought about german shepard.. pitbull.. doverman.. boxer.. but just don't know.

Almost my dog https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png



German Shepperd with some other breed...

It's my sister's pupie, but I am taking care of her for a couple of months; and it's almost over https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif



I love this puppie!



BTW - Is a pound adopted doggie https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Here's my girl. She's second in from the left. My friend breeds Bullmastiffs but had trouble selling the brindle females, most people want males in either red or fawn so selling the females was hard. He asked if I wanted her and i couldn't refuse. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

nice dogs!

Here is my pup.... Purebred Jack Russel Terrier 3 Months... Properly named for the wifey's favorite brand...GUCCI! $600.00

Here she is playing with the other pups... 2 female Purebred Short hair tea-cup Dachsaunds... Named Gator and Sammy, Gator because it walks around showing off its teeth all the time, and Sammy because one of the dogs had to carry on the family tradition of the dog name.$1200.00 (each)

And not to add to the fire...but i also would never buy from a pound, after having a friend that had to do community service gave me the run down on how it works there. Yes they need a good home quick or they get put down... but they are not treated the best while their there either. And yes i would love ot rescue them, your getting yourself into a whole lot more than anyone can expect. Where-as a puppy anything, mixed or purebred, has less a chance of developing certain issue, because it only reflects on yout he owner and not everyone else that has affected it in its life.

My Dog Choc. Lab cooling off under my truck while I wash it.

Heres a picture of her butthole https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

We tried that twice. Both times we had problems with it biting us which was really sad because they were extremely sweet dogs. We ended up buying a purebreed though and lovin it.

my dog bit me when we first got it. i beat the crap out of it. then it never bit me again.... i guess that is obedience training... i was not brutal to it at all but my dog is pretty crazy. it had to be taught it is not allowed to bite people. i am pretty sure the people that had my dog before me were scared of it. honestly she is amazing now. i can pick her up and she is about 90lbs.... she can fall asleep in my arms..... she is very obedient and occasionally does something wrong but hey its a dog
