all pseudo eclampsia is is a calcium deficiency, by giving the bitch a calcium suppliment during and after labor you can prevent it. so the risk of pseudo eclampsia doesnt justify breeding a bitch underage considering it's totally preventable.

[quote name='Michele']here's my definition of a dog fighter: a punk druggy who fights their dog to the death with no regard for the animal. The only regard they have is for money. They would let the dog die right in front of them.[/quote] :-? so what do you call what hmmm does? dog fighting IS dog fighting no matter how you look at it, in some people's eyes there is a right(dogmen) and wrong way(punks/thugs on the street) but either way it's STILL dog fighting. and imo there is no wrong or right way and i have no respect for anyone that does it, it's a man made sport and it's disusting, it's just one big vicous cycle, you fight the dogs to see if they are "game" you breed the dogs, you do the same with the puppies, etc. etc. etc. I personally dont see how being "game" makes a good pet because there are hundreds of breeds and mixes and APBT's out there that arent "game" yet they are great family pets and working dogs......just my thoughts... i firmly believe that any responsible breeder is very open about their breeding practices...wich makes me wonder, Kiwi, why are you so secret about your decision to breed an underage bitch? oh right...you want people to PM you :roll: like i said...responsible breeders are OPEN about their breeding practices...if you cant be open about your breeding practices(open as in putting it on a forum such as this) then me thinks you have something to hide. and if you were truly a responsible breeder and KNEW 100% that you were one, then being called a BYB by a person who "you dont care what they think" wouldnt hurt you so much, now would it? because if you didnt care what she thought...well then you wouldnt be bothered by what she says....

glad your safe!! nobody else you could stay with? what a jerk your father in law is :evil:

What do you know, I am a real breeder after all. :lol: Hmmmm, 7 out of 8, same as you. I know you don’t like to be compared to me, but hey, if the shoe fits... There is so much I want to say, but it will just get deleted, so what is the point. V&M, Neom and Kiwi (I think) ;) thanks for your support. See you all in my next incarnation.[/quote] 7 out of 8 isnt good enough and i highly doubt you do the 7 you say you do anywayz, cause if you did you'd have to sell your puppies for a hell of alot of money to make a profit

hey since this is a breeding thread....and this question just popped in my head.. Hmmmmm, do you health test your dogs? for like hips and elbows and stuff? just wondering cause i have yet to find anyone breeding true APBT's that does....im sure they are out there, i just personally have never found one...

ignore the email it IS a scam and yes the check will be fake, you'll be screwed out of the $2500

sounds like a crazy groomer most long haired dogs get mats behind their ears if those spots arent brushed daily, its very easy to cut the mats out. shaving the whole dog because of mats behind the ears in absurd(sp??) and bathing 8 week is not *too* much but i personally dont recommend it unless the dog gets very dirty, my dogs get 2 or 3 baths a year, more if they roll in something or get muddy..but dogs really dont need baths all that often... i recommend finding another groomer :D

yes I did...i got it a couple weeks ago meant to PM and tell you...sorry :oops: thank you!

your argument is empty and pointless

for one, humans have a choice wether to have sex and get pregnant or not. animals dont and they should not be used as a breeding machine to make cute puppies and money. you want a purebred dog then go to a reputable breeder, just because the reputable shows and works their dogs does not mean all the pups they have are show/work quality, alot of the pups are pet quality and are sold already spayed/neutered or on spay/neuter contracts. or go to a rescue, 25% of all dogs in shelters are purebreds and their are numerous purebred rescues in the USA. most people say they want a dog with papers, well those papers mean diddly squat, heck now adays papers dont even gurantee the dog is purebred because alot of people hang papers these daysg(meaning the info on the papers isnt true, usually the sire and or dam are not the real sire and dam) people can go ahead and buy from a BYB but when their dog has hip dysplasia, eye problems, hearing problems, heart problems, etc. you better be ready to shell out a couple grand to get your doggie all better and dont go cryin to the people who warned you about BYB's and puppy mills

sounds like she's been allowed to run all over you and now she think she is the alpha(boss) you need to do some NILF [url]http://www.ddfl.org/behavior/nilif.pdf[/url]

if you want another boxer, there are alot of them for adoption on petfinder.com [url]http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=1&display=&adTarget=&preview=1&SessionID=430e4c6c38a727cd-app4&row=0&tmpl=&stat=[/url]

[quote name='Debbie']That is very upsetting but, I can't see how the neighbor can complain about a dog barking..... it's not like you leave him out there barking 24/7.....dogs will bark. In our town the noise code starts at 10pm. As long as you're not breaking any noise codes, I can't see there'll be a problem. :wink: Hang in there J.M, and good luck with PoohBear !!! And tell that neighbor to shut-up cause she sounds worse than the dog barking !!!! :evilbat:[/quote] indeed. JM, check your town noise code, as long as Pooh Bear isnt barking after the noise code then they cant do anything. Of course the neighbors can call the police and the police might come out to your house but you can explain to them your situation and they'll most likely just live ya alone... generally if someone complains about a barking dog then the city will send you a warning letter in the mail and after 2 or 3 warnings they can fine you but i highly doubt they can take your dogs away because of barkig. can you go over to your neighbor and try to nicely explain why your dogs barks and what you are trying to do to stop it? kill them with kindness....they'll be less likely to be mean to ya :) good luck! oh and are you sure the collar is tight enough on pooh bear? with all that hair you're going to have to put the collar on pretty tight for him

what do you mean by too agressive? with people or other animals? if with people then good luck finding anywhere for him to go if with animals then most boarding places can acomodate that do you have any good friends that he is friendly with that could maybe stay at your house while you're gone and take care of him?

look in your local phone book, in the yellow pages under Kennels. you should be able to find some there :D

sorry but if star was really attacking your kid then he would have alot more than just a bite on the face, she would have ripped into him if she was actually attacking him. you should have full blood work done, have her thyroid checked too.

there does seem to be an abundance of dip shits though, like wrikkles and that one person who bought the blue pup from a BYB. wrikkles takes the cake though, real fucking idiot right there. I believe most idiots are weeded out through time though. I find there are quite a few intelligent people over there though so I shall stay and enjoy talking with them and I shall ignore the rest from now on. i generally try to stay out of the fites these days but wrikkles really pissed me off when he/she told that Vickie person to get rid of her dog. dip shits like wrikkles shouldnt be allowed to own a dog let alone an APBT
