HazyWal Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) I can't say I've ever really had problems with my hounds being gassy but they are raw fed so maybe that's why. To answer the OP.. maybe prey drive. Not the actual drive itself but the intensity of it in some dogs. Chasing rabbits wouldn't bother me, chasing small dogs, on the other hand, is a serious concern. I love my drivey girl a lot but it'd be nice to be able to do normal dog things with her, like just taking her for a walk in public. Yes to all of the above, my Maddie is definately a challenge. Stan loves a good fart but they're not smelly, in fact his morning ritual is stretch, loud fart, smile. If he still had his balls I'm sure he'd give them a big scratch, he's such a bloke.

Christina Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 For Poodles no hair growing in the ears or between the foot pads underneath. Much pleasanter for the dog. They are absolutely perfect to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankdog Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Jakes a cross breed and so is a sports model which now that I've had I will have to find a breeder who does active BB's next time. His post production breathing modifications would be great if they came standard. The skin problems would definitely be edited out. Lots of the other issues such as gas and fold maintenance I curse but would make him less bulldoggie. Surprisingly absolutely droolless, although my purebreds were too so maybe that's not an issue anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Actually I'd like a curly coated variety of kelpie as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Ooh, Field Spaniels without the dropping of hair would be great! I love, love, love the breed, but the hair everywhere, including flying through the air drives me nuts! I often think about 'the next non-shedding breed' when I'm vacuuming the walls (yes the walls!), but then those soft eyes look at me and I can't help but think of our next Field. Sucker for punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'd take double the Saint drool for a coat that wouldn't shed, but still looks and feels as it does :) OH is the opposite, he said he'd take double the amount of dropped hair to eradicate the drool :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sares Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Got a frenchie and would like non-shedding and also Frenchie farts! My girl can do some stinkers at the most inappropriate times! Last night she got a bath and farted while her bum was near my face when I was drying her.. It was so gross the air felt thicker.. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) My Aussie is perfect so I wouldn't do anything to her. My Anatolian is almost perfect, I'd probably edit some of his barking :laugh: Edited October 17, 2013 by Aussie3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diva Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I would edit the in-house zoomies, they are a new phenonemon and I need to train them away. Especially the part where they want the cat and me to join in, at least as jumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hankodie Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Frenchies: I'd edit out the allergies, weird digestive issues and oh god the gas :laugh: Goldens: I'd edit out the arthritis and cancer. I don't mind the shedding too much but Hank is still a puppy so I'm sure that will change :laugh: I'd love to see both breeds live longer. In terms of temperament I wish Odie the frenchie was less stubborn but then again that's what makes her so loveable. Hank is the annoying perfect child, I wouldn't change a thing about his temperament :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdashdot Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I would make all Dalmatians LUA NOW...instead of having to wait until we can import and then slowly increasing the numbers from that initial importation. I'm glad it's going to happen, but seeing your dog sick in front of you makes you wish you had the power of a magic wand to make change happen immediately.

Sabbath Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'd see the dingo a protected species Australia wide. I'd love that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Definitely would edit the age in larger breeds to double digits. Would be nice to see them get to 15-18 like the smaller breeds. Yes please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkehre Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 If I could edit my breed in some way, it would be the stigma attached and the attraction for some types of owners. The breed itself is just awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few breeds that can excel in so many different disciplines, sports, services and therapies as the Rottweiler and also be an absolutely amazing pet. Sure not suited to every owner, but there is very little that you cannot do with a Rotti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
