[quote]The puppies go home between 6 and 8 weeks of age and must be paid in full 2 weeks prior to delivery/pick-up.[/quote] 6-8 weeks???!!! :x .....well I guess I shouldn't be surprised at their blatant irresponsibility, considering their so called "breeding program" consists of just throwing 2 dogs of completely different breeds together and selling whayever the offspring is as a "new breed".....unbelievable It says on their "new arrivals" page that they are expecting FIVE litters (of various "breeds") in October :evil:

[quote name='deepseasnake']DAM! just lost the whole freak'n post I wrote, gotta love Dogo :lol: So yeah, I'm doing well I've been working for my friend driving limos around town and making pretty good money.

On a more forum appropriate note, a few months ago I got a new puppy named Tony, he's a yellow lab. Already at 7 months hes a full 85 lbs he's so frick'n strong there are times I cant muscle things away from him :o So yeah whos still around here?

"victim" or not, I wonder what makes this woman qualified to educate anyone about [i]dangerous[/i] dogs???. Sounds like the makings of a lynch mob :-? Kara, if I could make the trip home on such short notice I would.

agreed....don't breed them

So sorry for your loss Tammy :cry:

[quote name='Seijun'] A friend of mine BTW is working on getting the dog reclassified as a GSD(mix) as the owners had originally labeled it. Apparently the head of animal control decided it was part wolf because it howled :roll: . ~Seij[/quote] I wish your friend luck, but unfortunately I really don't think it will matter at this point, Seij.....the media has splashed this all over as a wolf dog attack....that is all people will remember. Does your friend work for Pinellas Animal Services? I'm a volunteer there (although the past few months have been so hectic I haven't had a chance to spend much time there). I didn't get a chance to see the "wolf dog"(Spirit) firsthand before he was PTS, so I can't give an opinion on whether it was or wasn't part wolf. in any case, it is a very sad situation :cry:

[b]Just an update[/b]...this was the story in this morning's paper: [quote]Bite Victim's Parents Unfit, Prosecutor Says By MARK DOUGLAS [email][email protected][/email] Published: Aug 6, 2004 CLEARWATER - The parents of an infant mauled by a wolf hybrid Monday have a troubled past and the family is living in questionable circumstances, according to Pinellas prosecutors who testified at a hearing at the Pinellas Justice Center on Thursday. On Wednesday, Pinellas deputies acting on a court order removed three children, ages 1, 3 and 4 from the custody of their father, Greg Pound, as he was entering All Children's Hospital. Pound was on his way to visit his 2-week-old daughter, Suzanna, who suffered two skull fractures and remained in critical condition from Monday's dog attack. In court Thursday, Assistant State Attorney Mariela Llanes told Circuit Judge Marion Fleming the baby's parents can't be trusted to care for their three older children while the baby recovers from being dragged through a Sunrise Drive house by the wolf-dog hybrid. Llanes said Greg Pound fled with his oldest child four years ago during a domestic violence investigation and that the children's mother, Melissa Pound, had been committed for psychiatric evaluation under the Baker Act in September 2000. ``There's some concerns about the mother's mental health status, and there are some concerns about the father's mental health status,'' Llanes told the judge. At the time of the dog's attack, they were staying at the Pinellas County home of Greg Pound's mother, Eleanore Pound, but Llanes said the family listed its primary address at a location near Bushnell that has neither electricity nor water. She also said the couple's three older children are pale and show a ``failure to thrive.'' Llanes said the children had never seen a doctor and have no record of immunizations. Pound spoke with investigators a few hours after the dog attack but hadn't returned to the hospital to see his newborn daughter until Wednesday, when deputies took his children, sheriff's spokesman Mac McMullen said. After Thursday's hearing the couple's attorney, Allen Allweiss, said, ``I think both parents were scared to death over what happened to the child.'' Judge Fleming agreed to temporarily place the children with their maternal grandparents, Steven and Linda Steenberge, as long as they pass a ``home study'' by child protection workers. [/quote]

I agree...I don't believe, judging by what I've read, that the dog actually "attacked" the baby,but rather picked it up, not knowing what it was. The news reports say only that the baby had puncture wounds and a skull fracture, which would lead me to believe she wasn't shaken or thrown around, as would happen in a typical "attack". Its very sad....a child and a potentially innocent dog have to suffer the consequences of people's stupidity and ignorance. Actually all FOUR of the children are suffering the consequences, since the other three have been taken into protective custody and are more than likely in a foster home right now( a very scary, confusing experience...especially for children that young.) This SO could have been avoided :cry: My dogs are wonderful with children and babies...very calm and gentle....but I would never dream in a MILLION YEARS of leaving them unattended with ANY child (including my own), let alone an infant! :x

why why WHY don't people learn NOT to leave children unattended around dogs????? :( [quote]Hurt Baby's Aunt Fights For Dog By STEPHEN THOMPSON [email][email protected][/email] Published: Aug 4, 2004 SEMINOLE - A 2-week-old infant who was grabbed by a family dog and dragged through a house Monday remained in critical condition Tuesday, and her aunt, who owns the animal, vowed to fight for the animal's life. Suzanna Pound had been left alone, sleeping on a bed in a bedroom, when she was grabbed by a dog that belongs to her aunt, Diane Pound, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office officials said. The dog carried the newborn into the kitchen and dropped her there, they said. Diane Pound and authorities disagree as to the dog's breed. Pound maintains the dog, called Spirit, is a mixture of three breeds: chow, German shepherd and Alaskan malamute, said Kenny Mitchell, director of veterinary services at Pinellas County Animal Services. Mitchell said the canine is a wolf hybrid. Its legs are skinny, its appearance rangy, and its disposition that of a shy animal. ``They aren't shy in attacking kids or small dogs, which could account for the behavior,'' Mitchell said. Typically, Mitchell said, he and his staff decide whether a dog needs to be destroyed after looking at the severity of the bites. The dog's owner has the right to appeal such a decision, and the issue can go unresolved in the courts for years. ``She wants Spirit back,'' Mitchell said. ``They're not going to do the right thing in this case. I wouldn't trust him around children.'' Diane Pound did not return telephone calls Monday or Tuesday. In an affidavit she filled out Tuesday, she states she was outside her mother's home at 9166 Sunrise Drive when Spirit grabbed Suzanna. When Pound returned, her mother, Eleanore Pound, told her the dog ``got the baby,'' the affidavit states. The baby's mother, Melissa Pound, held Suzanna as she spoke with an emergency services dispatcher. Diane Pound said she called Spirit to a bedroom, and the dog complied. Inside the bedroom, under a bed, was Diane Pound's other dog, described as a mixed-breed German shepherd, Boris. Diane Pound emphasizes in her sworn statement that Spirit was obedient and at no time growled at her. Suzanna was at All Children's Hospital in critical but stable condition late Tuesday, sheriff's officials said. No further details on her condition were available. [/quote] ** [b]Just an update on this story:[/b] I just heard on the news that the dog was PTS this afternoon, and child protective services has taken custody of the other three children in the home, citing "unsafe living conditions". Apparently charges are pending against the parents, and possibly the aunt ...the baby is still in critical condition. here is the link for more infoand a pic of the dog: [url]http://www.baynews9.com/content/36/2004/8/4/51198.html[/url]
