emeera 1 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 If you breed for money you are a peddlar if you breed with the intention of keeping one back or pups for close freinds thats different.atbIf you are init for the money why not just breed peddigree dogs?? some people do i always ask when im buying a dog over £500 what have the parents done at least 5 times iv had back nothing , but there is a champion 5 generations or so back lol but at least there honest about it , still a shame people breeding all these dogs , making the dogs that do need a home more and more worthless Its not just working type dogs though.As their will always be a market for toy breeds so IMHO it would be more profitable to breed these atb it was a griffon they wanted £900 a dog £1200 a bitch none of the parents had achieved anything or even attemped a show , complete let down when people just breed for money Yes but the show people are some of the worst culprits for breedind faulty dogs? yes! had a horrendas time with my first saluki brought from the saluki show manager !

gnasher16 30,024 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) This is the one that always cracks me up..... " i bred the litter to keep one back for myself.....and the other 7 are 250 pound each " what a load of ol bollocks.....if you want a pup off your own dogs then breed away but dont then come out with bullshit to try and justify the peddlars mentaility..... also...i dont give a monkeys if a man keeps dogs in great conditions,in great kennels,well fed and cared for.....there is still no real reason for 75 % of working dogs to have been bred....how many working dogs go to working homes maybe 25 % ?..........the overspill should be culled not sold so that some lazy f****r can buy a widescreen telly without working for it !.......it beats me why these people are not weeded out.....quality of any product drops when it is overly produced as does the price.........if you have a good product have pride in your animals and charge a good price dont flog them out to anyone who wants them just to recoup a few quid. So what gives you the god given right to decide who should have a working type dog even if they dont want to work it ie any old tom dick or harry?? Its a dog just the same as any other dog, four legs and a tail and anybody has the right to own one weather they work it or just have it as a fire side companion. May be we should start culling all the unwanted children that are born every year what do you reckon to that ?? what i reckon to that is......you must be pretty thick if you can compare the value of human life to the value of dog life !...but then i guess thats part of the reason some folk are not willing to dispose of unwanted stock.......if there are 8 pups of working dogs in a litter and only 3 working homes can be found why then put 5 working dogs round the fireside who will never have the life they wanted or do what they was bred to do.....just so you gain a few quid.........actually forget it....not much point trying to explain why working dogs stay working dogs to someone who can compare culling pups to culling children !
