    did you ever watch the film war of the roses "wheres the dog?"

    He is 3 months, I don't know what sort of husky, I live in cyprus and my greek is not too good! We managed to confirm that he was a dog and a husky, pretty good going, lol!!
    He does seem very calm and independant for a puppy.
    The food issue is being solved, the kids have been told they must sit at the table if they want anything, it will mean less cleaning for me if there are no crumbs on the sofa too, and hopefully they will get bored of sitting there and not want feeding so often!!:T money saving woohoo!!!

    So many people think that having a dog means the end of tidy houses but in a way you all become so much neater - nothing left on the floor or within reach, all meals ate at the table , laundry in the basket (a must esp once you have chased a dog around the garden to get back you best bra :rotfl: ) etc etc

    that is the most rediculous price I have ever heard, I agree with Bubbles911, it MUST have to poo gold!! I recently (2 weeks ago) bought a chocolate Labrador (Joey, he's a treasure) and he was £300. He is 10 weeks old and they had already toilet trained him, it was great although I did remove 7 ticks of the poor little boy!

    its probably either a British Bull dog or, the most alarming a puppy farm dog.

    this is what most dog breeders hate. high prices just for the money. it gives the ethical breeders a bad name.

    unfortunatley the government wont ban puppy farms, yet, but these places cause misery not just to the dogs but the unsuspecting public who haven't done their homework.

    i'd steer well clear.

    I used to know of someone who bred Neapolitan Mastiffs many years ago and their pups would sell for more than £1k each, which was around 4-5 times more than the average pedigree pup sold for. I don't know what was so special about them other than they were either imported or exported to Italy.

    But, I do know they were kept in absolutely filthy conditions in concrete kennels and runs in the back yard. I also remember one particular occasion when one of the b*tches was brought in for emergency C-section having been in labour 48hrs :mad: and all 15 pups plus the b*tch subsequently died :mad:

    How they could treat those poor dogs so appallingly still upsets me even now all these years on :(

    I have seen cats advertised for over £1000 !! rather get a rescue myself, but if I had a dog I would want it from a puppy because of temprement etc, but £3500 !! that is mind blowing
