Well said, jaw. Shiny, you know I luvs ya but please, let's not treat her in such a way. She came over here to start clean, so let's let her. We did the same for Roxygirl09, till she did actually start causing trouble.
Just for the record Trinity, Most everyone on this forum does not agree with mixing. I just want you to know where I stand. Only dogs that have been cleared genetically from the vet and are what the AKC standards are for that breed should be bred. Dogs that have gone onto show and win, these dogs are the ones worth breeding. The main reason anyone should breed is to only better the breed, not breed dogs with crooked teeth, arthritis, too long too, short too whatever, People are trying to maintain the way a certain breed is supposed to look like. On weekends I vollenteer helping a rescue try to find homes for many mixed breeds. Its sad.
I do know someone that mixes, but she has been doing it for a long time and know alot about what she is doing. Thats contradictory to what I said, but Somehow we were linked together and I became friends with her. She loves her dogs more than people.
Ok I've said enough. I don't want any ill will between us Trinity. I am sure you are a nice person. But what I said above is for the most part, how everyone feels here. And on most forums.
Frankly i am surprised too. Once again, here is the comment Prettydobie wrote:
"Like I said before I have already talked to people on the other site about it and trust me they didn't treat me the way ya'll did. "
What i see from this comment is that "talk about it" means she may have mentioned it somewhere (other site could mean anywhere) and that she is saying they were nicer to her. At no where did she say that "the other site" agreed just that they were nicer to her. I don't think this was cause for the third dagree.
Prettydobie- I am sorry you recieved the third degree but........i, along with just about every one will agree that we think your idea is wrong. I know for a fact that a lot of organizations are using more shelter dogs for service dogs and if i had an organization ask me to breed my two seperate breed dogs togeather, i would turn the other way fast.
