Not wanting a dog

So you don't like toy dogs, but there is no need to be so vile about them! Calling them a repugnant excuse for a dog! How nasty!

I am not a fan of rottweillers and pitbulls, and I don't think they should be allowed in residential domestic properties at ALL, but I wouldn't be so nasty about them publicly. Even though I have strong opinions about them AND the type of people who usually have them.

And as for slating toy dog owners, don't even get me started on the 'dangerous dog' owners, lopping tails, lopping ears, making them fight one another, teaching them to be aggressive!

THIS kind of behaviour is not unusual!

You ask 1000 people in the street, whether they would want to live next to a family with 3 toy dogs, or a family with 2 pitbulls and a rotweiller; I know EXACTLY what the answer would be! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

And please do stop accusing people who disagree with you and husky runner of needing to be educated. All that is doing is showing that you're losing the argument!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that keeping 5 huge dogs in 3 crates half their life is not a good idea! Especially as they flippin' well broke out, and trashed the house, (as your friend Husky runner told us earlier!)

For goodness sake! They are obviously NOT meant to be holed up like this! And you accuse people on HERE of not knowing anything?!!! :rotfl:

When you've spent day upon day operating on dogs to correct breeding deformities and PTS hundreds of others that have no chance of surviving, it doesn't take rocket science to note those who don't have a clue about dog breeding issues and society in the UK.


ETA: your comments above tell me you're an elderly person completely out of touch with modern dog ownership and laws.

Those who haven't seen these pictures of dogs a century ago may find them interesting.

Even Crufts support the breeding of deformed animals ....

Crufts and KC should be ashamed of themselves. Parliamentary action to banning both shows and breeders. And not before time!

I don't find those dogs repugnant, I feel desperately sorry for them, and the humans who are responsible go down in my pecking order, not the dogs. Plenty of larger breeds have been badly affected by inbreeding and selecting for extreme characteristics too. GSDs, Neapolitan Mastiffs, Shar-peis, Dalmatians etc.

Lots of smaller breeds are very healthy and sturdy though, plenty were bred to work or are descended from working breeds. I've also never actually seen a dog in a handbag in this country, only in pictures of US celebrities and once in an Italian airport.

Some people's irrational hatred of smaller dogs is just prejudice and an odd sense of superiority.

I don't get it, how did feral moon know what size crates and outdoor run husky runners dogs are in when he later said they don't know each other?

It looks like a fun hobby for you all - not sure I'd call it work though.
