lanabanana Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) So, are you saying ALL talk about cross-breeds is also banned? I thought it was just promotion of cross breeds and denigration of purebreds...and making sure you called your "designer" dog by it's proper name not its stupid name. I imagine my thread is considered in this. Which is not about breeding - its about identification by people who might know about breeds. I personally am here because before i joined I was forever reading excellent information on this site about DOG ownership, training etc which came across as very helpful and informative without any down nose looking - I hope I am not wrong. And also, because my next dog will be a bulldog and this looks like a good place to get information about my chosen breed.

furballs Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Maybe there are more cross breed owners interested in the welfare of their dogs and come across this site. This is the only forum I have found for dog lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to talk to people in Australia though because things can be quite different from country to country. Plus the time difference must make it difficult.

Me too....much better talking to people who live in the same country. Admitedly, I am not here to promote cross breeds, I am here for the information which is passed on in a really informative, educational manner and I interpretted from the rules that I didn't need to own a purebred to become a member or post about my dogs. Can make it very uncomfortable when people are not welcoming to others who don't fit inside their idea of what is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazawayaya Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) I have a crossbreed? am i not welcome? btw not some designer breed but a rescue Edited June 4, 2010 by jazawayaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky the husky Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Yes of course all dog owners are welcome here And it's not so much cross breeds, as the unethical practices that come with their breeding that tend to get up the goats of those on DOL. By all means ask questions of the breeders on this forum. They are a wealth of knowledge. However topics that promote cross breeding are not welcome here, and anyway, why talk about that here. It would be a pretty one sided discussion Welcome to all the new members sprouting up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not anti-crossbreed what is the problem? There has been no promotion blah blah rules stuff Have you read the rules? * This site is for pure bred dog discussion The primary purpose of this forum is to promote and discuss pure bred dogs (as recognised by the ANKC) so we ask you respect our aim when visiting here. If you own a cross breed dog, you are also welcome here, but we ask that you refer to it by it's proper name (eg a pug-x or cavalier-x instead of the designer term 'pugalier') 4. No promotion of cross breeds / designer dogs This site has nothing against cross breeds (most of us have had one at some stage in our life), however we are against the promotion of them as being superior to the purebred dog and people cashing in on the 'designer dog' craze. We also ask that you refrain from unnecessary designer dog discussion. (ie discussion that has no real purpose other than to express dismay at the latest 'cross breed' you saw (or read about)). Sure, we all know they are out there, but we prefer to concentrate on discussing the pure bred dog (ANKC recognised breeds). 5. No denigration of pure bred dogs Speaks for itself. If you don't think pure bred dogs make the perfect pets, then maybe this forum is not for you. 6. No denigration of responsible, registered breeders and breeding practices Our site has a lot of breeders with a lot of knowledge to share. We will not tolerate members who denigrate (however subtle) responsible breeders and breeding practices.

That covers all those rules....it doesnt say crossbreds cannot be discussed but that purebred discussion is the PRIMARY focus, not ONLY.

Christina Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I also think it is good that all dog owners, regardless of whether they have a pedigree or mongrel, visit here. It will make them aware of why this site promotes purebred dogs, maybe make them think twice in future about their next pet shop or BYB pup or dog, make them aware of the risks & hazards of breeding as well as educate them in many aspects of caring for their dog from health to training. Hopefully. Isn't this what we want ? The what cross dog is this is a bit silly, its a mongrel. With all this designer dog fad trend people seem to want to know & it is anyones guess really, maybe we should all just reply its a mongrel, problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
