riohog 5,792 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I grew up with racing pigeons so am used to seeing 'pets' culled when they were not upto standards or wrong in anyway. Unfortunately this also taught me not to get attached to animals which i dont really like, especially seems i have a young daughter. When i was a small child id pick a pigeon and name it, get it tame, hand feed it and have it do silly things like land on my shoulder but unfortunately this would all occur as the bird was young and then it would start to be trained and id get upset if it was late home from training and it would really upset me if the bird didnt come home on a race day. Anyway, after all this i stopped caring for pets as pets but as tools for a job so getting rid/culling or losing animals doesnt bother me and if a dogs no good the same as a pigeon it must go, to many and they must go (pups in a litter). well i take it you have many years experience do draw upon before coming to that desission dont you?,could you give me examples of what would make you want to cull a healthy dog ? btw i wouldnt cull a healthy dog and i wouldnt sell it how wrong is that? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cull or spend the next 10 years or so with a duff un..i know what i,d do and it wouldnt be lumbered with a shitter...atb stabba Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) For the one's that say they'd keep it in their yard, what about if, like many terrierlads, you only have space for 2 or 3 dogs? Surely if your keeping one or two dogs that are shite but you can't part with them for sentimental reasons then you're defeating the object of keeping dogs for the job you want. Personally I wouldn't like to think i was keeping three dogs but only using one, a good saying I've heard is 'it cost's the same to feed a bad 'un as it does a good 'un'.

undisputed 1,664 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Probably one of the reason's I don't breed any of my dogs now....it's different if you breed for the right reasons and you can account for the majority of the pups....I don't have an issue with selling on the spare pups for pin money....but I would never breed a dog solely for profit. I think people...most anyway have an emotional attachment to dogs comparing them to doo's is just daft...most dogs can be put to some use depending on what your looking for....I couldn't and wouldn't cull a healthy dog. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DOGGINLAD 538 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 If you got a dog that aint made the grade but keep it and dont breed from it etc then fair enough every one to there own, its your own dog, you feed it, you live with it, you walk it.. its the c**ts that keep to breed from or sell the dog as something its not that make me feel sick.. For me culling pigeon's/chicken's and ferret's is a different ball game to culling a healthy dog.. Why is that millet? is it because you get more attached to a dog and spend more time with them etc?
