I see no problem with it when it is done correctly. I don't think I would crop a dogs' ears.....but I also don't see myself owning a dog that would need that done. But I'm not going to freak out on someone who has it done to their dog. I'll save my energy to have someone get their pet altered instead! :D

Uh guys....she's doing it cuz she's PO'd at the designer dog craze. Here is what she says: [b] Day in and day out lately ‘doodle’ is the word on everyone’s lips. They’re the “must-have” thing these days, designer breeds with fancy names, hypoallergenic claims, and promises of “it’ll be a breed soon!” It makes me sick. So I aimed my anger in a direction that’s sarcastic, but hopefully thought-provoking. All of the “breeds” named are actual, in-use ‘designer’ names. It angers me that people are willing to pay for overpriced mutts, and it makes me madder to know they’re being bred by the thousands just to make a quick buck. Cocker x poodle, Pomeranian x peke--we’ve had these mixes in our shelters since day one. And these same expensive “hybrids” are being euthanized en masse for lack of loving homes. Don’t get me wrong, I love mutts. My childhood dog was a mutt, although she’d be a “foxadoodle” today. But it’s time we called a spade a spade (and spayed all these poorly bred mixes, too!) None of these dogs exist, of course. Their personal stories aren’t really true. But we hear stories and excuses JUST like these on a daily basis in shelters nationwide. Purebreds and mutts alike, turned over for reasons identical to these. Oh, it’s of worth to note: every single dog photo here is of a shelter animal, current or adopted. And they’re all either the exact mix the name belongs to, or a fullblooded purebred that goes into that go into creating that mix. Interesting, no? [/b]

I'd totally be calling AC next time. And, along with the others, you totally made me laugh out loud!

Tater loves everyone. He'd go home with anyone who looked at him. Dog lover or not. Hunter and Dakota take time to warm up to people but aren't overly thrilled until meeting them for 6 or 7 times. PoGo growls at everyone he meets at first, but then falls in love with anyone who will hold him.

PoGo always is behind me, jumping up and launching off of my butt. It's not cute anymore!

I heard something about that on the news but didn't know that she had it because of a dog attack. Maybe we should ban Labs now? Sorry......just slipped out......

We needed to get REALLY big beds for the GSDs and all of the ones in the petstores were like $80 and up. So I went to Target and purchased two twin sized comforters (at $14 each). They LOVE them! We have them folded up and they sleep on them every night.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

She's beautiful! I love her white feet!

[quote name='AllAmericanPUP']What i am wondering is how they are going to know if she stays put or not? will they have someone watch her?[/quote] I was wondering that myself.....they've got to put someone out there to watch her......i feel bad for that person!

Remember this post? [url]http://forum.dogomania.com/viewtopic.php?t=23837[/url] Well.....this will be happening tonight (supposedly). And there will be up to 26 inches of snow fall by morning! HA HA HA HA HA loser......Guess she should have fuckin thought about that before she did that to those babies, huh? She's bitching about how it's cruel to her and how it's dangerous to her. Bitch.....she's had time to prepare for this.....those little babies had no clue they were being dupmed in the cold.

Excellent post, gooey!

I take my parent's Lhasa out places. She is dog aggressive if someone is stupid enough to let their dog run up to her and get in her face. But, if you are a responsible owner, you are in control of your dog, he's not pulling and gagging at the end of his leash, then Shasta is fine. I walk down the isle, she is at my side, heeling. I stop, she sits. She is a very good dog. To me, the stupid owners are the ones who have ill manered dogs and do nothing about them. They think it's okay if their dogs jumps all over people and pulls on the leash.

This judge has been doing sentences like this for a long time. My mom called me and told me about this She went to see the babies after they were taken in and said they are all beautiful!! But this judge is awesome and I've always thought he's been fair.

That first one that you have looks like what we would like.....but we'd need it to go up cover the first two openings (the ground level and the next one up). PoGo will jump over the first slat and get out that way along with scooting underneath. The trellis might not be bad, especially if we painted it white to match the fence. Thanks....I'll show Jeremy the trellis. I never thought of those before!

Okay....here's my situation: We have a white vinyl 4 rail split fence. Like this: [url]http://www.metropolitanfence.com/images/post_rail/4rail_big.jpg[/url] We did this because our development is built on an old farm house property (very large acreage) and the actual farm house is behind us. Well they have a wood four rail split going around their entire property so we wanted to match them and also not just put up a fence that blocked everyone out, like we were staking out our property. So it works great with the GSDs but the little ones can get through it. We didn't have them when we moved in and put the fence up so it was not thought of at that time. They don't always go through it, but PoGo will on occasion. Tater never will unless I'm standing on the other side. My question is that we need to find something to keep them in! Don't really want to put up anything that's going to look crappy or half-assed. Any suggestions will be helpful! We'd like to get something up in the spring so they can be outside with us and I don't have to worry about keeping PoGo in my sights at all times! He's quick!

I don't understand either...... And I'm the same way you are with my dogs. If they bark outside, they get one chance to be quiet. If not, they come in.

Don't think I ever added! Need to add two more Cresties and two more GSDs. Updated! 1 Akita 2 Alaskan Malamute 2 American Cocker Spaniels 1 American Eskimo 1 Australian Shepherd 5 1/2 American Pit Bull Terriers 1 Basset Hound 1 Belgian Sheepdog 1 Border Collie 2 British Bulldogs 1 Boston Terrier 2 Bull Terriers 2 Boxers 1 Cairn Terrier 1 Cardigan Welsh Corgi 4 Chihuahuas 4 Chinese Cresteds 1 Clumber Spaniel 1 Dalmatian 2 Doberman Pinscher 1 English Cocker Spaniel 1 English Setter 3 English Springer Spaniels 1 Flatcoated Retriver 3 German Shepherd 1 Golden Retriever 2 Hungarian Vizslas 1 Irish Wolfhound 1 Irish Setter 2 Jack Russell Terriers 2 Labrador Retriever 3 Lhasa Apsos 1 Maltese 29 Mixed breed dogs 4 Newfoundlands 2 Pembroke Welsh Corgis 1 Pharoah Hound 1 Pomeranian 1 Rat Terrier 8 Rottweilers 4 Saint Bernards 1 Samoyed 2 Shar-peis 1 Sheltie 2 Shiba Inus 2 Staffordshire Bull Terriers 2 Standard Poodles 3 Toy Poodle 1 West Highland Terrier

Why do I work? I should so just stay home and be online all day......

Thanks.....I"ll ask if they need any help

27 over here!

It's okay......just got a chuckle out of that!

[quote name='Michele']If CRESTED comes here, you should ask her. I beleive she has 2 crested doggies.[/quote] And my two Cresteds are chopped liver? lol

The breeder lied to you big time. These dogs are VERY active. They are constantly on the go and will chase anything and everything. If they see a leaf blowing in the grass three houses down, they will take off after it. I have an 8 year old hairy hairless and a 1 year old true hairless. The 1 year old is all over the place all the time. He doesn't 'walk' anywhere....it's always at a full dead on run. He's constantly in my German Shepherd's faces, biting them, hanging from them. He won't leave the cats alone, always play bowing to them or biting their feet (thank goodness that the cats like dogs). The 8 year old is calmer....but he's 8.....so I don't expect him to be running all over the place. But the two of them will play hard several times a day. Who did you get your little one from? What breeder??

My parents keep their cat in a room at night. She's got her litter, food, water, toys, and a Purr Pad in there. Plus a window if she wants to look out at night! It's not cruel at all......she'll be fine in there. The cat site that I go to is: [url]http://www.catforum.com/index.php[/url] There is a lot of great info on there and quite a few behaviorists on there.....
