b road blaster

well went down there armed with all info from peeps and found none of the horror storys found dogs well behaved and in clean well looked after conds
have pm snazy for full story sufice to say i did buy and under no pressure
and i'm a happy chappie sorry if you disagree but we are all diffrent and have diffrent experiences will post pics when nipper shows me how

b road blaster

as for cut and shut dogs yes maybe he is but was well aware of this, nothing hiden from us all was upfront from them.
i also no that they do not show but as i disagree with showing dogs that suits me just fine
to me a dog is for company and enjoyment not for parading round a show ground going mines better than yours
personly the best dogs i have owned (and peeps i know)have all been "heinz 57" ie cross breeds, sorry if you do not agree but thats life

and no i'm not shi*y i took onboard all that you have said but made my own choice and thanks for all input on this

Snazy

Fair play mate, and im glad its all worked out ok.

The whole showing thing, its not bad NOT to show dogs, but the dame and sire tend to get observed at shows, so its a great demonstration of their temprement etc. This is why most breeders show the breeding dogs, so people can see some history etc.
Same way its not bad to do your own servicing, but a dealer history tends to be the prefered thing.

Anyway, onwards and upwards.... pictures please lol
Like I said on PM, my gallery is there if you need it

b road blaster

i'm sure i will be in contact from time to time for help and guidence
if this is ok?
i will ALWAYS listen and take all info that will help me and more importantly help him

b road blaster

sorry mate yes they are on bucket

Spoon

I beg to differ, your heart ruled your head. Lets hope he is a healthy dog although he's an unknown quantity and one you'd have been well advised to steer clear of on any other forum I frequent.

He looks beautiful and lets hope he has a great life.

b road blaster

if my heart ruled my head i would have got one that was local
not travelled 5hrs each way to see him
did listen to all you and others had to say but it was my choice
i think all was ok' do not want to have falling out with anybody over this all i know is i was happy to buy him and thats that (and very pleased)
and have you been there yourself ? not just listend to other people?
i'm not saying there is not better(maybe)i havent been to all breeders but i was happy there end of

andymal

spoon I agree no mention of any eye testing which are badly needed, its no good looking at mom and dad. i hope for your sake this dog turns out alright read some of the horror stories on the other forums and see for yourself. its nothing to do with showing its about buying from health tested stock like a car with an MOT. You have just bought a dog with NO MOT as they say good luck with it I hope you havent been stitched up and didnt pay more the 300 quid for it.

andymal

cos you traveled 5 hours means nothing at all did you ask about the tests as you were told. Did you take advice from the sibe forum as you were told. No one is falling out with anyone but goodness man you have no experience in the breed you have a lot to learn. Were you looked in the eye i doubt it as I said NO MOT

b road blaster

snazy will keep in touch
as for the rest said my bit now just ca'nt be arsed

andymal

you will be arsed when you are in trouble, you know know where we are just type in sibe forum when you need help we will see you there i am sure. good luck

Spoon

You are totally missing the point, they are not breeders if they 'make' a new dog!! They are trying to re-invent the wheel for monetry gain and not for the good of any breed.

I'll always discourage anybody from buying an unknown quantity!! To some people dogs are dogs/companions, whatever you want to call them but that should never detract from the importance of years and years of breed development already acquired. Then somebody comes along and gets an idea to mess with that history not knowing the outcome and unfortunately there are always people like you willing to buy these creations.

I don't doubt you'll give the dog a good home if you say so but that is far from the issue.

Enjoy him.

andymal

Spoon I really like your views you cant edcucate everyone not want to cause a problem but as i said you will need help in the future and you know where we are.

Advice from who mate ? Any advice about your pup should be sought from the breeder first and foremost !

I haven't listened to anyone here that had concerns. Showing (although I dont do it myself, the Mrs does though) is about preserving a breed and breed to the breed standard so that a breed doesnt deviate away from what it should look like. It has nothing to do with snobbery or who has a better dog, it's about showing breeding dogs to prove they are healthy and worthy !

As for having dogs in clean conditions, that has nothing to do with not being a puppy farmer and everything to do with keeping up appearances. How do you know those dogs are happy. Just because they way their tails might be because they havent seen anyone for ages !! Breeding is about being ethical and having morals and reasons for doing what you are doing and those people have none.

All you have done is funded another litter for them, good job

Spoon

20 years of experience with my own top GSD's, another 15 being around them, but unfortunately novices always know better and don't want to improve a breed just acquire a new pet.

Head and wall.

Zooms

Well said

What they dont realise is that even pets should come from health tested parents and be just as worthy as non pets, afterall, they're all the same price !

Lee247

Not being funny here folks, but I am currently looking for a dog.

The ONLY person I would trust for advice and guidance is Spoon. Take it on board, he knows his stuff

Spoon

I agree in principle and there's not that much difference in puppy prices but guys I deal with daily often spend several thousands on a trained dog and dare I say it as much as $65,000 is spent by wealthy people who are actually as clued up as a novice and think they are getting more than a good $15,000 dog because of it's bigger price tag.

Zooms

He does seem to know what he's on about.

Another thing is anyone else looking for a Malamute or one of the other designer breeds, these people make, will see this thread and their website, so keeping their link on here isn't the best idea in the world !

'b road blaster' if you do nowt else about this, could you please remove the link from your earlier post to their site as it's not a reputable, ethical breeder and therefore not a good advertisement for anyone else looking for a healthy, well bred pup !

Spoon

Thanks Lesley but I'd come to you for waxing tips so as Craig David would say, it's 6 of 1 and half a dozen of another.

Lee247

This is a dogs thread, Spoon. Me waxing your chest is of no interest to them

Spoon

Though you did say my sacks resembled my dogs until you waxed them?

andymal

Well as you cant be arsed just thought you would like to see this from many tears rescue this dog came from that kennel you visited today so lets hope your boy is a little brighter than this poor sole well done i rest my case



COOKIE UPDATE

07-02-08 Here is Cookie. She is 2 years old and a Huskamute. She is not lead trained as where she lived before had plenty of space for her to run and play so they did not walk her on a lead. Her previous owners, who breed this breed, want her to find a loving pet home as they decided not to breed her. She is very good condition and has come from spotless kennels.

21-02-08 FOSTER UPDATE

Cookie has learnt to play ball and is walking really well on the lead. She now seems to want our company but does need more socialising as this world is different to what she has known. However, she is slowly adapting well. For those wanting to help a very sweet girl with her education and who are familiar to this sort of a dog she would be the one for you.
