I have often wondered, if i got an ANCD next, would it help with SA? Not sure on that tho.

I think they would be a great addition in future lines...

Well since the ANCD is still a new breed much like the Tamaskan, I can't really say for sure if all of the ANCD live up to Ann's goal temperament-wise. I'll give it some time to develop before getting my own.

The stupidness of people never ceases to amaze me...

On fb, someone was looking for a "cheap puppy", no regard into every breed different and not all breeds suit some people... No, that didn't matter as long as it was cheap...
I went on to say cheap puppies usually come from back yard breeders and mills. Parents are not health tested or vet checked and neither are the puppies hence been cheap due to no vet costs... she went on to say her sister got a cheap pup off someone who had problems selling them (insert the biggest

ever here) and that puppy is fine.

Some one else chimed in saying he got a dog for £30 about 40 years ago and that dog was the best dog he ever had (because yeah... vets are still as cheap now as they were then right?

).

Well, she sure proved me wrong with her £40 illegal jack russell x jiu jitsu which is a brindle, pitbull and julias ceaser (I'm having a hard time finding results on Google for Julias Ceaser...)

Someone is even offering advice:

I have research for U hum all pitbulls and PitBull cross are ok

WTF!

I am 100% against BSL but i'm also 100% against putting dogs at unnecessary risk!

Oh i have given up arguing because apparently buying 'cheap' off back yard breeders is acceptable and my advice about every dog been different and not for everyone is considered 'having a go at the poor girl'

.

I've never heard of the breeds the dog is apparently crossed with and I hope for the dogs sake it looks more like a JRT than pitbull.

I can't find much on Google but someone who owns pitbulls told me that there are 2 types.
1) The pitbull is bred by genuine people with a love and passion for the breed as well as trying to give the breed a good rep.
2) Then there is a jiu jitsu which is known as a jiu jitsu fighting dog... Basically a pitbull chose for it's ability to fight and aggressive nature. Any dog with a good temperament is not bred from. (he went on to tell me how they go about this which disturbed be a bit so i'll leave that bit off).

Now i can't find any of this on Google so i don't know if he knows what he is talking about or just claims to, nor can i find a breed known as a Julias Ceaser. I did find out the man him self liked the mastiff tho and that crossed with a dog bred to fight is worrying. I know dogs are not born fighters but generations of breeding dogs with bad temperaments can't possibly give them a good start in life.

There are a lot of aggressive dogs living where i live, i'd hate there to be more

I hope she puts more effort into her research in dog training than finding a breed to suit her and her life...

balto13 · Post by **balto13** » Sun Apr 14, 2013 6:38 pm

the most unfortunate thing is most people cannot identify an actual pit bull because it is an incredibly widely used term for dogs such as; staffordshire terrier, bull terrier, inu tosa, dogo argentino (ect). I think the two different varieties are mainly those who wish to further the breed, and backyard breeders (I have never heard of jui jitsu fighting type pit bulls).

I personally love this test (can you pick the pit bull?) http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com/petbull/findpit.html

even the CDC (when reporting attacks) only use the word "pit bull type" so I don't think any BSL laws against Pit Bulls (any breed really) could ever be fair until professionals who know how to recognize a breed are hired to say what breed a dog really is (sorry for the poor highlighting job, I am new to the screen shot/editing thing. lol)

" It does not identify specific breeds that are most likely to bite or kill, and thus is not appropriate for policy-making decisions related to the topic." - quote from website posted under the table (which is old and I wish the CDC would make a new one)

and, now to get off my soap box

I adore pit bulls, and pit bull types and there is so much to the breeds history people don't know - I could talk about them for days.
EX: they were originally bred for herding cattle and helping pull carts, hence the strong broad chest and the pain tolerance, then people noticed how tenacious they were and exploited them for fighting - kind of like roosters. That was pretty far back though.... sorry... did it again

Yes, yes i can

. I also got it first go on the other one too but i think with the dogs used it's kinda obvious...

Here in the uk, they have found breeders are intentionally breeding aggressive dogs to sell them [on the black market] for higher prices than the family friendly counter parts... The rarer the breed (banned) the higher the price. I can't find where i found it now, been looking all morning...

I also love pitbulls from what i've heard owners say about them... I was 6 when they became hugely discriminated against and it's a sad thought never meeting one...

An even sadder thought, there is a bigger public call to have staffies a banned breed (but there would also be an riot from staffie owners), the media likens them to pitbulls and has in some cases called them the new pitbull. If a yorkie kills a baby, we will never hear about it... If a staffie even nips a child we hear about it for weeks

It's al down tot he media how people view things.

A 14 yr old girl got mauled to death by 4 dogs Bull mastiff, two Staffordshire bull terriers and an American bulldog. <-- This really got people going
They were called 'out of control' dogs but it doesn't say why she was alone in the house eating a meat pie...

Police had to use riot shields when they stormed the house in Atherton, Wigan, to prevent the dogs escaping, before marksmen killed the snarling animals.

I'm pretty sure my dog would be deemed 'out of control' through sheer panic at the sight of police in full riot gear with huge body length shields busting through the door... I bet they were terrified...

But that fact as well as the girl was alone in the house eating food makes it the dogs fault.

The words the media use are what are turning people against breeds and making them fear the breeds... snarling animals? I very much doubt it, more like terrified...

I have seriously got off the subject at hand here

Soap box mode having spent all morning 'educating' an idiot on yahoo...

I messaged the person with the... ummm, whatever it is cross breed and asked if she saw the parents. She said she didn't but she saw litter mates, the mum was staying with a friend. People wasn't coming for the other pups till the week after [when they are 8 weeks], she couldn't wait for hers...

The Kennel Club wrote: Q. Surely there is a DNA test that can be used <--- Side note, i thought so too (the one that indicated breeds used)... Or is it inaccurate?
A. Not at present. In any event, the legal test is predominantly on the basis of physical conformation so it isn’t just about the breeding but is about what the dog looks like.

That is the saddest bit of all... For the most part they go on looks... In the human world it's called discrimination.

As with the case with Lennox. The law really sucks.
Just as they discriminate against dogs that to them looks like a pitbull (I can tell the difference having met the real thing but I wish many others can too), there are also those places that discriminate against dogs falsely thought to be wolfdogs when in many cases actually are not.

In the NL we had a pittbull law for years, but not anymore

But what was a pitbull? Just everything that looked like any bull kind of dog and didnt have any official pedigree papers. So, Am. Bulldog, bullterrier, Stafford ( Eng or Am) etc.
Yes, it sounds discriminating, but it is also very clear. The owners KNOW what they are getting into when they buy any kind of bulldog lookalike that didnt have papers.
As much as I hated the law, I could always get angry with the owners who knowingly got such dogs and then got angry with the system that confiscated the dog. They were the ones that took the risk!

But then what do we do about the people who ALREADY have bought those dogs? I understand where you're coming from and I'd never encourage promoting a puppymiller either. I'd rather see them go out of business. However, there are people who were conned and legitimately did not know what they were getting when they got their dogs only to end up with a mutt (one that LOOKS like a pitbull) that has temperament issues and so on BECAUSE it was from a puppy miller/backyard breeder. We can't just go up to them and say "you're living in fear of the dog being taken away? You deserved it!" especially if it is being raised by a good owner who is devoting time and efforts like any family member!

I can only hope that the law here in Ontario changes in the future so that those few pit bulls and their mixes can walk the streets freely again. It's stupid how the law just simply labelled "dangerous breeds" out of ignorance!

darazan · Post by **darazan** » Wed Apr 24, 2013 5:28 am

There are plenty of breeds that are getting put on a "dangerous breed" list or vilified, and it usually has to do with how SOME people train their dogs. Pitbulls are loving family dogs that just want to make you happy, no matter how. They can be horrifically abused and still be happy to see you at the end of the day. Even most fighting dogs can be rehomed after rehabilitation, but so many people automatically seal their fate simply due to how the dog looks and assume it's an aggressive and monstrous animal. Pitbull's aren't the only ones facing this kind of treatment, though. German Shepherds, Huskies, and Chow Chows are also getting treated with the same lack of respect. Many apartments won't allow these breeds (along with the pitbull) due to their "aggressive nature." I call BS here, dogs are not fundamentally aggressive. You have to train them to be that way. Even German Shepherds used as police dogs are not aggressive, though they do have that training for the job that they perform, and as such cannot be as easily rehomed as a pet after retirement due to the extra handling requirements.

Dogs that ended up in shelters ( like you have humane society) were "judged" by a committee on character and appearance. Depending on that committee they were spayed/neutered and up for adoption or euthanized.

I agree, even a Labrador or Golden Retriever can be dangerous if treated poorly or trained to attacked. ANY dog can be dangerous, and yet it's these large breeds that get blamed. I often draw comparison on how so many assholes out there would let a chihuahua launch its carnassial at a passing person and just laugh it off while the larger breeds would be punished for doing the same thing. It shouldn't be about breeds but about the PEOPLE raising the dogs!

Ok, it is now official. I have the worlds most awkward dog!

He will eat any meat off the bone, pork ribs and lamb ribs defrosted... Chicken legs and lamb legs have to be frozen.

As most people know I ordered from DAF [Durham Animal Feed] (turns out it's enough to last 6 months, over ordered), mostly minced chicken, beef and a couple of assorted's, tripe&chicken and some fishy stuff...

The first one went down really well, the 2nd not too good and since then has just spent most of his time picking bits out and piling it up next to his bowl. I thought he would eat it if he was hungry but noooo! Se spent yesterday vomiting bile... So i was kinda worried i had 6 month of food and no dog to eat it... Also a dog to feed and no money to feed him with since his monthly allowance went on this.

Out of curiosity I gave him a frozen one and he ate it

This it's self wouldn't be a problem but anything frozen or solid he won't eat unless he is in the livingroom... carpeted livingroom i might add (kitchen = easy clean, living room.. not so much)... and if he eats it too slow, this stuff bleeds A LOT. So now i'm hoping he will continue to eat fast enough until i can buy a huge plastic sheet for him to eat on (and knowing him he will eat anywhere but the plastic sheet

).

I have honestly never had such a difficult to feed dog! I mean, how is chicken off the bone different to on the bone? It can't be the bone because he eats ribs

Ryphen · Post by **Ryphen** » Sat Apr 27, 2013 2:25 pm

Kumho likes to run off with certain things and eat them in the living room too. The carpet in there is crap, so I don't care all that much about it, but if I throw a towel down in his favorite spot, he's content to eat on the towel. The fish and pork bones he's especially apt to carry off for whatever reason.

Good to know others prefer to eat in comfort too...
It's not the carpet that bothers me (in fact i really hate the carpet, it's previous owner was an old lady), it's more the fact the kids play on it too and i have yet to invest in a carpet cleaner (going through gallons of disinfectant spraying the carpet after he had chicken)... I've just found an old bed sheet and keeping fingers crossed blood doesn't soak through

I'm hoping to get wood floor down after i (if i ever) get my kitchen finished... Easier and less germ-y

Can u cut up a large garbage bag so that it lays flat on your carpet and then cover that with a old towel? Maybe that's a temp solution until u figure out soemthing else...or rather, until Sam finds a new spot to have his meals. lol.

Ranty Rant: I waited all day and finally got my shipment of dog food only to find that the bag is damaged. There's NO way I'm feeding this to Abby...I'm paranoid about airborne bacteria/germs contaminating the food. Thankfully, the company I ordered from are awesomesauce and they're shipping me a replacement bag free of charge (and expedited!!!). I asked if they want me to return the damaged bag, but they told me to just throw it away. Well, I'm just going to donate it to a dog food bank since it's not a big rip - about 1/8" near where the top of the bag folds.

I'm glad I didn't wait until last minute to order this food...still have about a week's worth of kibble left. YAY!

Boooo....the online retailer that I usually get my dog food shipped from won't be carrying Orijen/Acana anymore since Champion Pet Foods is limiting their distribution to select online retailers and pet specialty stores.

I guess I'll have to pay more at my local store. Ugh. At the store, I pay about $75/bag. Online retail store, I pay about $69 + free 2 day shipping.

On a brighter note, I have about $700 in my puppy fund jar as of last month!! Whoo hoo!

I wonder how much I'll have in there 2 years from now. lol.

Post by **TerriHolt** » Wed May 15, 2013 2:14 pm

Sam growled at me, sounded like he meant it too

Sometimes when i give him breakfast he doesn't eat it and, because he will only eat it frozen i usually put it back in the freezer.
Well... today he didn't eat it and when i went to pick it up to put it back in the freezer he stood up really fast with his ears back, picked it up and growled at me (no teeth baring tho).
He has never given so much as a rumble before (except during playing tug etc) so it was quite shocking and upsetting. He has grown up with me and the kids stroking him while he is eating and i have always removed food and given it back with a "good boy" as well as occasionally hand feeding to avoid this...
I'm kinda hoping he is feeling under the weather (nothing serious, just grumpy enough to explain the grumble) and it's not yet another changer in behavior (under the weather sounds plausible since he was ok yesterday and grumpy today).

Abby grumbles whenever she asks for affection from me and I want her to move her head closer to me - that's because the silly girl always stays about an inch or so away from my reach (of smothering her). Or, I want her head on my lap - she refuses to put her head on my lap unless I demand it. In a way, she's respecting my space, but when I want to squish her, I need her close enough to me to be squished. lol.

The thought of vacuuming a spider to kill it is both genius and creepy (to me). I did just that earlier...with a spider the size of my thumb. It was orange-ish and legs were brownish-black. Either way, suuuuuuuuper creepy; I literally cringed and shuddered when the vacuum sucked it up. EW EW EW. D: Though, that's probably the better alternative than spraying spider killer chemicals in my bathroom floor. Not too crazy about using diatomaceous earth around the house either - I'm afraid I'm going to accidentally inhale the stuff and I already have sensitive lungs. lol.

I googled natural insect/spider repellent and found a couple good ones that involve lemon oil, water and rubbing alcohol. woot! I can spray inside and outside the house with that stuff AND make the house smell good (and not like dog).

Post by **Katlin** » Wed May 29, 2013 1:06 pm

I am the one in my house who gets rid of the bugs (except crickets and bees...not a chance!) and I used to grab a cat and poke the spider until the cat saw it and the hunt began. Worked great with moths! Now, since my kitty lives with the parents, I use a quick spirtz of 100% vinegar. I used to vacuum them up too but when I told my roomate I hoped it didn't come back up through the hose and eat him (lol he does NOT like spiders) he was a bit annoyed (to say the least) and I'm not allowed to do that anymore
