Bosun11 537 Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Fool i may be, but i've turned down many offers to go into breeding programmes of dogs like these. Point of fact is that many dog lads are breeding the arse out of these hideous monstrosities for coin. I loath the practice... I never got into this game to make money from it, for me it has always been at my expence to keep working dogs and enjoy them at their work. I have my morals and always will do...

Exactly.Its always gone on and always will.Most of the big names in the APBT,working terrier game that are so often talked about and held in high regard were little more than peddlers churning out multiple litters a year out of bitches that spent their whole live sat in a pen or on the end of a chain.Something I have noticed with a few of these lads Ive seen selling these new silly coloured breeds for big money is they're not scared to put their hands in their pockets and buy the best to keep their breeding stock in tip top condition.Unlike 80% of the so called terrier/lurcher men Ive met over the years who think theyve spent out if they do more than a tenner on a sack of dog grub and would sooner spend 2weeks trying to find somewhere to buy a cheap bottle of penicillin than get their dog to a vets if it needs it. 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, Rusty, but; How the fukking hell can you even conceptualise such a thing?! " far too hot for dogs ". Not even 79F. What fukking dogs are we talking about here? I've just fed my trio of good for nothing pound puppies their raw flesh and bone. Lean as fukking whips, the lot of them. Fit as shit. They spent today wandering around. Laying indoors, or out. In shade or sun, as they chose. Practically feral, within the confines of my compound. It has Never crossed my mind that Any weather we experience might be 'Too much for dogs'. Dingo's do alright, in The Territories. Hunting Dogs thrive, in the Cape. Asia is lifting with casual, yellow things that just get along fine. Fukking and scratching. Naah. If below eighty is to be considered too much for a dog? Then, like the rest of much of todays world? That sort of dog is Fukked. New breed; 'Millennial Dog'? 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

'Bit warm out, today. Mates dog keeled over.' It's the seeming acceptance that got me. I mean, I don't expect your mates dog was up behind a hare. Or locked in a boot. No. Something must be going wrong here. This is Darwinian theory in reverse. Wow! WTF have I lived to see? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
