The more i look the more i think its about revenue , and preventing competition ,, Like i said the pedigree dogs i bought years ago , the breeders kept in touch loved the way there pups turned out and wanted to show or breed them it was me who declined , hey were proud of there good stock ,, but the choice was mine because i payed a premium for a pedigree , instead of a bitza from the pound , but has far has i'm concerned there shooting themselves in the foot ,,, creating a system wheres theres a lack of good pedigree pups , entices others to fill the gap Look on gumtree at the mastiffs , i've rang a few , they want 2-3000 dollars for a mongrel , cross a neopolitin mastiff with an bullmastiff all you want its not a pedigree its a cross of two similar but different breeds , but yet they ask and recieve so much money because the mastiffs will be more , , so go get a pedigree and be told ltd papers , you cannot show it if you wish , whats the point go get the cross and just haggle with the byb on price , I personaly want an older dog , i've answered a few from breeders wanting to rehome there out of date bitches , thinking yep i'll give them a good home ,,, I'm being told , you will have to get it desexed , not a problem , i want it desexed , no papers not a problem i want a pet not a showdog ,,, price 2500-3000 get stuffed for a 4 year old rotty that will only live 3-5 YEARS MORE ANYWAY ,,, i SHAKE MY HEAD AND THINK AND THERE AGAINST PUPPY FARMS they breed a few litters and then discard , and still want top dollars ,, the whole industry needs a shake up

Its eletist ,,, Sam my old shepard , the breeder told me you ever want to put him out to stud , with his pedigree give me first option to keep his line going , , Ebony my rotty Breeder who sold her me once again wanted first choice if i wanted to breed her , , like i said not interested , but for the top dollar i'm stuffed if i would pay huge amounts and be told i'm not allowed to show and MUST desex my dog ,, if its worth the money far has i'm concerned its worth keeping the line going IF I CHOOSE , On the other hand demanding you de sex the dog you buy for huge amounts and no mains registrar , to me that just means either there dogs do not conform to a high standard OR they don't want competition ,, and i reiterate , i will not show or breed a dog , but if i wanted too i should'nt be stopped Its just like Porche telling the world they have the fastest car , Asking a million dollars for there top of the range car , but tell you if you buy one , then its goverened to only do 100 klm p hr because they don't want you going fast ,

Looking at the sale of dogs and can't help but wonder , whats with this mains and un mains sales ,, In the past over 35-38 years i've purchased a springer spaniel ,, then 2 boxers , then a staffie , then a shepard , then a rotty then another rotty , last rotty being 15 years ago , all from breeders ,, and every single one of them have been fantastic dogs true to there breed and a credit to the breeders , all fantastic looking dogs ,, now all of them came with a pedigree and were bought and kept has pets ,, I'm not interested in the showing or breeding ,, dipped my toes and found it was a bitchy scene suited to women who like to gossip men has well . But one thing that stood out about all of them was i bought a pedigree , i paid top dollar for a pedigree and i got the papers , and the right to show , or breed if i wanted too , thats why i payed out top dollar , my staffie the breeder seen him and virtually begged me to show him , thats when i dipped my toes , and did'nt like it , then they wanted to pay me to use him has a stud , but naaw he was a pet only , but point is all of them breeders bred great sppecemins and all of them were proud of there dogs and wanted them shown , Now i'm looking for another dog and keep coming across ltd registar only , get stuffed if i'm gonna pay top dollar for a dog thats supposed to be top shelf i want the right to breed or show IF I WANT TO ,, ok,,, can tell you now i never would because i could'nt be bothered but if i'm asked to fork out 4 grand i excpect too ,, I had a conversation with a breeder , that went along the lines of , my dogs are not to be used by byb , when i asked which of her two dogs had won competitions , answer was we don't show them , Ok which had won agility , or anything else , we don't do that ,, so my question is what makes your dog worth that money , because you have only threw two together and claim to be a breeder , Has far has i'm concerned its just cutting out any competition so she can inflate prices , Like i said i don't want to show , or breed , but if i decided i do , then i want to be able too for the money i payed ,, otherwise what do you do , Go on gumtree look and wait at the pound and buy a byb dog with no pedigree if you see the parents , you know what they are , if its from the pound , you know what they are if you know your dogs . Breeders of old i bought of were proud of there dogs , wanted you to show them , wanted you to keep the line going , and you paid for it , but if they had a dog that did'nt conform you payed a bit less , so what its a pet who cares if its got a floppy ear ,,, Now alls i see is mostly people in a bitchy scene who have 2 dogs they throw together and they want the money associated with pedigree dogs , but don't want you to show them or breed them , because i suspect a lot are beneath standard , Rant over , my little dog will get a big playmate who will get a loving home for all his life , but i'm stuffed if i'll pay 3,, 4 ,,, 5 grand to line some unemployed ,single mothers pocket just because she says she's a breeder and yes before you all carry on , i've looked at 7 dogs and 5 of them have been unemployed or single mothers claiming to be breeders , but of course main reistrar papers don't go with the dogs ,,, If these peanuts think i'm stupd enough to believe they have imprted semon or payed big money for there dogs , pigs can fly

Your all dog lovers so thought i'd share this story . Sit back go get a brew its more like a novel LOL ,, OK Lets go back over 30 years , I had a staffie called Toby and decided he needed a play mate , So i went and bought this long haired shepard , breeder told me , he was not good to show because he was long haired and toooo big ,, who cares he was a pet ,, anyway Sam (his name ) turned into the biggest softest shepard you ever seen , my youngest 2 at the time used to play cowboys with him all day , they slept together Sam actually used to lie down while the baby got on his back said gee up doggies and walked around the garden with him ,,, anyway the staffie left us , and not long after i rescued another beutiful dog , needing a home , a big rottweiler bitch ,, her and sam became best mates , all good , But Sam had one BIG PROBLEM , he was too freindly , on the dog beach let him have a run and boom he's gone running up to any and everyone only wanting a pat and a play ,, but he was scary he was so big . , I used to walk them both for hrs each day , but could'nt really take Sam near people , has freindly has he was , he just would'nt stop running up and mainly scaring people through his size and looks Anyway forward a couple of years , and we moved , but unfortunatly the fences were ricketty racketty and falling down , the road at the rear of our street the end of a long garden was easy accessable , now both dogs could get out and i did'nt have the money to fix them ,, now the rotty was never a problem she did'nt want to leave the garden and when outside , just lay by the back door , Sam however was a problem , if he seen anyone walking past at the end , he was off , and people would see what resembles a bear running full blast at them , it scared the life out of hthem , i did'nt have the money and i was never gonna chain him up , so felt i had no choice but to give away , the most gentle dog and my best mate , , so i gave him away . it broke my heart but felt i had no choice he was around 7 then Now every man and his dog wanted Sam ,, but i picked a young couple they had a shepard and wanted a playmate ,, alarm bells should of rang when they asked for his papers ,, and i told them you can't have them , he's a pet not a breeder but the bells did'nt ring i was just glad he seemed to be going to a nice home . Anyway fast forward another 5 years Ebony is coming to the end she's getting old and its not long before she's like 10 and she goes ,, by then the fences were done , evrything is fine , about 4 months before Ebony died i had got another rotty pup , when she went , i thought i'll go get him a playmate , i've always owned 2 dogs ,,, Now one thing i've forgot to mention about Sam , was he ALWAYS from day 1 , had a very loud and very ditinctive moan , he would cuddle up want a pat and just sort of wale and moan whenever you patted him he would do this moan . Anyway i'm gonna get my puppy rotty a mate , so off i go to the Lonsdale rspca i went a few times , not knowing what i would get but seeing whats on offer and on this day i'm walking up and down the kennels and heard this moan , i listened looked in all the kennels but it was'nt them dogs , but i could here it , anyway theres a wall i determin its coming from the other side , i'm thinking THATS SAM so i jumps // climbs on top of the wall and guesss who's there playing ball , with a volunteer ,, i shouts SAM he looks comes charging over and trying to jump up to me ,, he recognised me and me him he was around 12 then and it had been 5 years or so . Well off i marched into the office , i said , straight out ,, you got my dog i want him back ,, they all looked at each other like i'm a madman , i explained , that when i let him go the fella was under strict instructions , to NEVER SELL OR GIVE HIM AWAY , the agreement was he could keep Sam , but he wa always mine and came back if they changed there mind , So next day , RSPCA RING ME they start asking questions do i remember who i gave him too , where did they live , what did they look like ,, i answered but said never mind them i want my dog back ,, an officer from them came to see me and brought pictures of SAM he was not the same dog , the pics they shown me were of a scaggy looking thing with no fur and totally totally emancinated ,, it was a terrible case of neglect ,,, they explained they could'nt return him because Sam was still an ongoing court case they were prosecuting the guy ,, but he had continually claimed he found him like that with a skin desease and tried to fix him , they said the guy was a smart arse , and knew all the answers Anyway few days go by i was so angry i actually went to the guys adress he had left with me still had it in my telephone book , dispite the wife pleading with me not too , i went there to give him a flogging and a taste of his own medicine i was really angry , lucky for me i suppose he had moved , Rspca would'nt tell me where , Anyway the rspca asked me would i testify ,, and they were sure with my testimony they would have him ,, bloody oath i will ,, i said , but to be honest i told the wife , when he walks out of that court i'm gonna give him the biggest flogging of his life , i was still spewing and angry for weeks So the court date is given to me , i'm preparing to go and see this prick get his just deserts after all these years , both in and out the court , the wifes worried because she knows i'm determinned to take my revenge regardless , , we have about a week to go , and i get a phone call from the head of the RSPCA , he / she can't remember says to me ,, that Paul , yep i say ,, they say your dog Sams at the Lonsdale shelter come and get him he's waiting for you Whaat i say they say the case has finished , when the guy learnt they had a witness mainly me , he pleaded guilty its finished so now there free to do what they want with the dog and they would be happy to return him to me , I went up got Sam and brought him home , he fully remembered all of us , he became best mates with my male rotty and lived another 6 years or so , when i had to put him down because he was really just very old ,, 18 i think he was , think probably 15 years or so ago now that he died ,, the rotty Naz a lovely dog has well died at about 8 we said no more dogs , its heartbreaking when they go ,, but i succummbed , i took in a 12 month old stumpy tail that needed a home , but at around 3 i gave him to my son where he could get more excercise with the kids , he's proven to be a perfect familly dog , loves the kids and great with the babies ,, about 5 years ago i rescued a little maltese cross , from the pound , we still have him , but he's not a proper dog he's lovable and cute , but he's more like having a baby than a dog . he'll always be there , , but i look at him sleeping on his back 15 hrs a day and on someones lap the other 9 hrs , well i just look at him laugh and say , we really have to get a proper dog , . But there will never ever be another Sam .. just thought i would share that story with you all , a bit long winded , but heh passed some tim writing and reading it ,, some might even remember think it was this day tonight came and done a story on it ,, they said it was unbeilivable , that i actually heard the moan / whine and climbed a wall to see , Side note , turns out my mate met a lady , and married her and she was the one that was actually playing with Sam when i climbed the wall , hows that for coincidence

Question , been reading a bit about the south african dog called a Boerbael , think thats the correct speeling , its like a mastiff only probably bit more energetic ,, are these a proper breed registered breed in Aust , there not listed in the breeders page

Attacking a 2 year old ,, no question about it you need rid of that dog , like YESTERDAY THERS NO WAY IN THE WORLD WOULD I KEEP A DOG WITH INSTINCTS TO BITE A CHILDS FACE ,,, however , not so sure i would put the dog down just yet , i would look to give him away to someone a bit younger than yoyrself with an energetic lifestyle ,, my mate had a beagle when we were younger it used to come with us out shooting , that dog would start beying and running with his nose to the ground and keep going like the energizer man all day ,, I also have a freind lives in the country 20 acres and his beagle does the same , nose to the ground and just walks up and down the hills all day long ... Thers every chance your dog is just not getting enough excersise , and is bored and stressed ,,, I really would give him to someone with a property and preferably other dogs to play with where he can get enough excercise and wear himself out each day ,,,,perhaps with the option that if he still shows the same problems , brng him back and then you put him down ,,, BUT REGARDLESS he has to go before he takes your grandaughters nose off he's a dog he has big teeth and children have soft faces ,
