I'm new here, and I'd like to make a difference. My methods for acquiring knowledge for my own edification are at times aggressive, I mean no harm, and most of the time I question within a statement. Occasionally I'll offer an opinionated view, this doesn't equate to me not being open to change. Quote:
1 - target puppy mills through the education of people on the link between Pet shop purchases and puppy mills. 2 - education on Back yard Breeders. 3 - Reputable breeders begin offering pet quality animals at a reasonable price. 4 - Make humans accountable for their pets, via obligatory altering of animal, If they decide not to keep an animal for any reason other than medical, they are liable for the animals well being until a suitable home is found. Rescues need only get involved in medical situations. I'm aware that this is not perfect, but it's a start. A written legal proposal to the proper officials espoused with continued lobbying may make a difference. Mona, You're welcome, and I agree, both breeds are great dogs alone, I see no need. In fact, I see more logic in the Labradoodle than the Labernois. Dar. |

It's not literal. Double entendre:an ambiguity with one interpretation that is indelicate. Let's try to stick to the issues, in lieu of trying to prove me wrong. I said what I said I know what it means.

Dar,I would like to add one more thing to that list.Puppies sold at pet stores.Something needs to be done about this.There have been numerous times that I have gone into the same pet store at my mall.I will preach and educate the people who are looking at them.I ask it they know what a puppymill is.For those who have said yes,I tell them that the pups they are looking at come from there.And for those who don't know,I tell them that they should do a search on puppymills before wanting to buy one from a pet store. I was in there lastweek.I played dumb and asked the workers there a ton of questions.Then I gave them answers they didn't like to hear. The purebreds come with no registration papers.So I told them that under the CKC pedigree act,it is illegal to sell a purebred without papers.I asked if the parents have been health and genetic tested,x-rayed,are the sire and dam champions or titled.And so on.All answers were no.So I told them they are selling pups from puppy mills/byb's.And I told them that I was going to everything in my power to have them never sell pups again.After all this,the people started to walk out......

At some of the meetings at the CKC,we have been seriously trying to figure out how we can go about making sure that pups/kittens are not sold in the pet stores.

Petland, gets their dogs through head office, they are now sold as 'type' not purebred, interesting! The venders and managers have no Idea of where the dogs come from prior to head office, or do they?
Pet shops should not be allowed to sell dogs, cats, ferrets, etc..., with an exception to lizards, providing that they have staff knowledgable about the critters in question and that they sell captive bred only.(even this I'm uncomfortable with) Dar. |

Oh I'm sure they know.
The pet store that I do my education seminars ,call their pups Hybreds.And can you believe they have a sign stating the difference.

PJ's is a horrible place !!
I know quite a few people who have bought dogs there, and every single one has had alot of medical issues, and or serious aggression problems!! I go to the one in my area quite often, and ask the staff alot of questions to fluster them in front of potential customers. they get so angry sometimes.

Re: the Labernois (Labernese):
What I'd like to know is what was their reasoning for mixing these two breeds? I mean, does the Berner have some inherent trait that makes it ideal as a service dog, but doesn't work in a Berner's body? |

You need to win, okay, you win!
Double entendre is acceptable writing, perverted is a word look it up. It is neither vulgar nor a curse word. Are you opposed to the term 'bitch' with regard to a female dog? One can even have a perverse sense of humour. Oh well! Can we move on now, or do you need to 'nit pic' some more? PM me with your gripe. Have you objected to the thread titled, 'What a bitch' ?(or did you miss the pun?) http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=3197 You can stop the 'Joan of Arc' act now! Dar. |

No dear, not everyone who breeds dogs are backyard breeders. The parents are health certified and have a pedigree and so on and so on. I had to go through an interview and sign a contract. The only reason I got a puppy is because a friend of mine is their neighbour and gave me a good recommendation.
Sheesh, that's twice you put words into my mouth. Third times a charm. You guys do have trouble keeping on topic, again, if you feel the need to be right, be my guest, I'm secure enough within myself to stand by my convictions, without having the need to be right all the time. Is this about me not wanting to foster cats because of my sons allergies, yes we have a cat, and if you'd like to contact his doctor I'd be more than willing to oblige. Passive aggression is so unbecoming. Oh and I explored the rescue avenue prior to making my decision. Quote:

A simple question brought on this barrage of hostility and sarcasm? Hmmm...
What words did I put in your mouth please? YOU told us these people have 4 dogs and are pumping out two litters a year. Why? For what purpose? What health testing has been done? And pedigrees mean nothing unless the dogs who are being bred have championships in something. You said: Quote:
I certainly have no hard feelings against anyone who doesn't wish to foster and that comment was low and uncalled for. I merely suggested the fostering because YOU said you wanted to help, dear. |

1 - First you accused me of saying that ' Mira was dumping dogs ', I never said that. 2 - Then the BYB remark. Each female has a litter a year, I've already spoken with their Vet, and I have an appointment when I pick up the puppy(set up by the breeder). Furthermore this litter was the last for the female in question, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
