The way America's answer to everything is guns. The latest? On the news this morning they announced that someone is being kept in hospital with a suspected case and...they will be sending a SWAT team down. Why? To shoot at the ebola virus as it plods out the door?? wtf is wrong with them, guns are not the answer to everything!

if every pet is neutered, in 10 years or so there will be no more pets
then what ?

Rather that then shelters/pounds full of animals worldwide that nobody wants. A lot of pounds globally, including Ireland, kill animals after 7 days if they haven't been reclaimed or adopted.

Going for a pint for lunch then not being able to rid yourself of the "do I smell like alcohol" feeling for the afternoon.

I knew a responsible breeder who actually had contracts done up for owners of new pups, that if their circumstances changed and they could no longer keep the dog, they could return it to him. It actually happened in one case where a couple broke up and ended up living in two separate apts instead of a house. Dogs went back to the breeder. Better than winding up in a kennel where they might get homed out to someone who doesn't know about the breed or takes it because it looks good on the end of a lead.

I had this kind of contract for Henry. His breeder has been breeding great danes for 35 years. The contract stated that I couldn't breed from him without her permission (no intention) and I couldn't neuter him without her permission, if my circumstances changed (or Henry's circumstances changed, i.e. illness or injury, and I couldn't afford to keep him) she would pay for him to be transported back to her (I got him in the UK) and when Henry got sick earlier this year, she was the first person I called and she couldn't have been more helpful and offered to help with vet bills, offered to send me over all the health test reports that had been done on his parents (which I had already seen anyway) for the vet etc.
When I had Henry put to sleep she was very upset and she has had countless pups in her lifetime. I think it was because she had never seen the illness in her lines before and it was just one of those flukey things that happens sometimes so it was a big shock.

OldNotWIse · 16-10-2014 04:26PM

On the issue of ebola, the way authorities are asking people to be honest about their health status and not use transportation etc if they are showing symptoms. BS. If you're in a country with a sub-standard healthcare system and you think you've contracted a deadly disease, if you've any brain functionality you'll get your áss into a european country asap for treatment! People are clearly not going to do the honourable thing and declare their suspicions. I say every country just closes the gates for now. I've already begun planning a lock in system with provisions, lest the worst come to the worst.

I understand the permission to breed clause, but why the permission to neuter? assuming the dog is just for pet, and not breeding or showing?

A lot of her dogs are show dogs and Henry's parents were both winners at Crufts so it may have been in case Henry was returned to her by me, that she would still have the option open to her, and also have the option to breed from him if he was returned to her.

MsBubbles · 16-10-2014 04:34PM

all this talk about dogs is only making want one even more than usual.

so its ok for her to breed henry but not for you
why do you think that is ?

it would be likely motivated by profit

looks like a typical breeder to me

OldNotWise I have a cat. A lazy ginger tom called Tiger. That's why my avatar is Garfield. Must try giving Tiger Lasagne one of these days .

I'm allergic to cats but I've always wanted a ginger cat.

I have 5 kittens needing homes. There is one ginger that has already been reserved and has two people who want it. I can see us ending up in the fmaily courts :P If only human gingers were treated with the same reverance and high esteem.
