morton 5,368 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 is it better to have lived and lost,then never to have lived at all ? ;-) Its not,a very short life is more comfortable than years of abject misery and neglect. Quote Link to post
Thesharpeend 85 Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Easy I wanted my bitch to have 4 and she had 4.. I did not have to struggle for homes coz they had them buy time they where born !You must be a magician Magic it is not,bitch whelps and resposible owner acts accordingly,the less responsible leave a full litter,struggle to find decent homes,post a sob story because they are to tight to donate a fiver and advertise them,then the desperation kicks in and the pups will be thrown at anybody showing slight interest in them,thus the majority of another litter on the lurcher merry-go-round of piss poor homes and neglect. Well what did a say av had a young kids on fone and won't sell thm rather keep a hold of the plus if not al gift thm to my mates but like wise my bitch is in better shape and condition then any of yours after any size litter of pups !!

beast 1,884 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 i have had lurchers for over 30 years. i have had some poor, most reasonably good, and a couple of real first class dogs, but even those i have never bred from, even though i feel they would have added to the quality of the general gene pool. the reason i have never bred a litter is because personally i believe it would be my responsibility to find permanent homes for every pup, and good homes at that 9working or not wouldn't necessarily be my priority, better a good pet home than a crap working one). i would not be able to sleep nights if i had any doubt about where a pup had ended, in fact i would probably end up keeping them all! i'm not geting involved in this particular case or judging anybody in any way, because whether a person breeds or how they dispose of the pups is a matter for their own conscience at the end of the day, but for me, if anyone hasnt got homes for a significant number AND they arent producing VERY good quality pups, then dont breed at all!!! 2 Quote Link to post

jukel123 8,527 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) If I was a day old pup i'd rather take my chances than be drowned in a bucket. I accept a lot of lurchers get poorly trained and, as a consequence are passed around. A lot of people seem to get upset at the thought of that, but that's more to do with their beliefs about bonding with dogs and the slogan ' a dog is for life not just for Christmas' etc. I think the average dog just wants grub, exercise and a dry place to sleep. If that means a rehoming kennel, it doesn't make much difference to the average lurcher. Saturated collie and saluki types might get stressed out, but stressed out is better than being dead. A lot of lurchers that end up in rehoming centres end up getting a lucky break and get rehomed in homes probably more luxurious and caring than their first home. I used to do some voluntary work in a dogs' home and yes lurchers and staffies were the most popular inmates, but they were also the ones that got rehomed the fastest. Any dog that had a real hard luck story- a three legged dog or a starved crulelty case used to fly out of the doors. To put it cynically(but truthfully() adopters used to like to brag about what caring people they were for adopting such cases-it's just part of human nature, people love to have a story that reflects well on them. I quit the voluntary work because it dawned on me that the home was doing very well without volunteers, plenty of staff and plenty of money donations. As always the well paid management, lots of them, sat on their enormous arses and did FA.(While I was there the manageress bought a pedigree pup for 600 quid!) Hypocrite! There's a whole industry of dog homes out there. Dogs in this country do very well. Have you ever seen the way the rest of europe treat their dogs? It seems a lot of dogs I've seen when on holiday in Greece and Spain spend their miserable lives chained to a metal drum- too hot in summer and too cold in winter. They are often poorly fed and lie surrounded by their own crap. You don't tend to see that in blighty. I'm not saying overbreeding is not a problem, it is. But it starts off innocently enough with a lad wanting a litter from his bitch and ending up with too many pups. Simple as. We all mistakes. Let's not gang up on him and hang draw and quarter him--his Mrs is probably doing that. I couldn't think of anything worse than a rapidly growing, rapidly shiting, howling litter of pups that nobody wants.Not good for your marriage and not good for your blood pressure.
