For the life of me I just cannot understand why Sirius thinks there are no bad PEDIGREE breeders and that the only culprits are those who produce crosses. We have pedigree dogs and sadly a lot of bad breeders in our beloved breed too.In the pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043405252243850366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-19838470712610463482009-09-11T13:36:55.204+01:002009-09-11T13:36:55.204+01:00Isn't it sad that Sirius/Anon. seems to love t...Isn't it sad that Sirius/Anon. seems to love the idea of dogs being and looking a certain way with apparently very little compassion or concern for their health and wellbeing (not to mention the wellbeing of the owners whose beloved inbred pedigree pets cost them thousands of pounds and much heartbreak). I am purely surmising this of course but reading Sirius' comments this does seem to be the case as he/she constantly undermines Beverley's attempts to highlight these very real concerns.<br /><br />Maybe Sirius would like to meet my beloved Belgian Shepherd Dog (Groen.) who I took on as a rescue at 8 months old and have since discovered was the result of a half-brother and half-sister mating. He has epilepsy, an underactive thyroid, allergies to many foods and flea-bites, hip dysplasia and some issues with aggression (although this is partly due to his breeder selling him to unsuitable owners at the age of 5 weeks). As I write he is at home with a muzzle on to stop him tearing his itchy skin to pieces (a problem which has arisen in the past few days after being given antibiotics - he is so sensitive to everything it is a nightmare at times). He is a lovely, loving dog who doesn't deserve to be going through this much suffering. He is a lovely "type" as a result of his inbreeding (and I do understand how breeders love their dogs to look a certain way) but I would give that up in an instant to have him happy and healthy. Can't Sirius take off the blinkers and recognise there IS a problem - and that it is ONLY bad breeders who are being targeted, such as the one who bred my lovely boy. I am sick and tired of this "point scoring" - for God sake get on board and do something to help instead of attacking those who have had the courage to speak out.Mandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-28234536232885824572009-09-11T12:34:24.684+01:002009-09-11T12:34:24.684+01:00Oh Sirius, we really must stop meeting like this.....Oh Sirius, we really must stop meeting like this...<br /><br />Let's start with ebay. Now you may not have got your April 2005 edition of Dogs Today to hand, but on page 3 we revealed that our reader Tim Norris had discovered some Rough Collie pups available to buy on ebay. They appeared to be in China and the seller had sold very many other dogs and was happy to put them on a plane to the UK seemingly unaware of pet passports or quarantine. <br /><br />We tackled ebay and they revealed that in China dogs are allowed to be bought and sold on ebay. It's just that we normally can't see them!<br /><br />So Sirius - perhaps it is you who should check your facts!<br /><br />Tibetan Mastiffs are of course an ancient breed, bred to guard - not to win rosettes! Get off your unfeasibly shaped hobby horse cowardly Sirius. <br /><br />And yes I am happy to reveal who I am and what I believe... unlike you who hides behind a cloak of anonymity or a collection of silly made up names!Beverley Cuddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544804932989118884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-24947507585419754472009-09-11T12:04:12.534+01:002009-09-11T12:04:12.534+01:00get off yor hobby horse and get yoru facts straigh...get off yor hobby horse and get yoru facts straight, you do like to muddy the waters with your foolish quotes, the Chinese and Tibetans have been breeding pure bred breeds for THOUSANDS of years long before Victoria came to the throne, indeed part of the annual gifts to the Emperors of China were the pure bred dogs of the Tibetan Court, as for Tibetan Mastiffs Marco Polo acounts just what they looked like and how they were bred to remain true to type.....as for ebay comment I think they might be up for a legal case for that comment as they DO NOT allow dogs to be sold on their site! sounds like you LOVE to be QUOTED in the newspapersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
