  1. I kept GSD bitches together for over 25 years with never a problem ( different ones ) mostly desexed at 6 months but one was entire until 3. My entire greyhound bitch I have to watch with the smaller cross bred, speyed, bitch and I had to return a speyed greyhound bitch due to her attitude to my smaller bitch. So sometimes it work very well with no work, sometimes it works very well with a little bit of hard work, sometimes it is ok with a lot of hard work and sometimes it doesn't work at all.
  2. chipom = no such breed needs to take the dog to the vet
  3. Greyhounds can be genetically brindle without showing an obvious stripe
  4. Can you provide a linky to that? I've heard alot of 'reasons' for HD but not that one. Side note: I wasn't asking you why so defensive, I was asking Rebanne. and I wasn't defensive at all, just don't like people not being upfront about their intentions
  5. Why so defensive? It's irrelevant what the original post was anyway, the dog has HD, no one will ever know how it got it, both the parents were hip scored then at least the breeder was doing the right thing to start with, one would hope the breeder would give you some support and advice upon finding out though? I felt the thread was sneaky. At least I am honest about what I am thinking.
  6. Actually I have a bit of a problem with you. Why weren't you up front at the beginning of this thread?
  7. sorry to hear about your dog but HD can crop up from anywhere, you can have generations of dogs with no HD but then one is produced. Dogs are dogs and things can and do happen. Buying from a registered breeder who health tests only lessen's the chances of your dog ending up with a problem, it doesn't eliminate them. Won't comment on your breeder's reaction because there is only one side of the story being told. You do know how a pup is reared can also cause HD don't you?
  8. why? Yes why? I've never owned a rescue dog or a crossbreed and I never will, I'm a purebred dog snob and proud of it. I have 3 purebred dogs of my chosen breed, one of which is a rescue. Doesn't make him any less a pure bred though, I just don't have his papers. In answer to your question of why have a rescue ? That would be to change the life of one dog....it can still be a purebred all the same. I change the lives of all my dogs
  9. You are aware that a lot of breeds started out as crosses, until they eventually got accepted as a purebred? :D hence the 1000 years selective breeding bit A lot haven't been a purebreed that long. true but mine are and most have over 100 years, that's a lot of generations as opposed to the dog next door getting to the bitch down the street, or the ones on the puppy farms. and FWIW I have a 13 yo pound puppy here as well
  10. sorry for the loss of the pup but can I ask why the pup wasn't vaccinated again at 8 weeks? Cause I thought that if you vaccinated at 6 weeks you then did them again at 8 weeks, then 12 weeks? I thought that's what happened some (many) years ago when I bought a pup that had been vaccinated at 6 weeks. I give mine their 1st vacc at 8 weeks so am not sure of the protocol
  11. You are aware that a lot of breeds started out as crosses, until they eventually got accepted as a purebred? :D hence the 1000 years selective breeding bit
  12. yes and you were deep in conversations so it was only helloooooooooooo lol
  13. no way, when did getting a purebred dog become bad? Don't all dogs deserve good homes? Why are pound dogs more deserving than purebred dogs?
  14. Yes it was a good show but why even put the bolded part in? Most clubs have internal conflicts, differences of opinions, from time to time.
  15. actually I don't understand the need for so many dogs to be "friends". I walk my dogs (on lead) for exercise not to have a garden party socialising. I expect my dogs to basically ignore other dogs, to be indifferent to them. When harrassed by other dogs, I still expect them to ignore them as much as possible, polite hello but then we move on. But if push comes to shove, then yes I also expect my dog to defend it's self. And as they are large and the offending dog is often small then yes you can expect damage to be inflicted.
  16. how can you get numbers if the entries are still open
  17. and that is why Brooke is raising this issue. I think we might be getting somewhere.... Brooke identified another Doler, before the edit, who did not go about things in the right way, but has anyone actually showed that person any respect by actually thinking for one minute, hmm they don't normally post like that, has something happened in RL, etc? It was just assumed they were being nasty for no reason. And maybe they were but we don't know that. RL does impact sometimes on how we post, not everyone recognises that maybe they should not be on a forum right then, reading upsetting posts about a breed they love and care for.
  18. and the week before and the week before that
