yip!! thats what they are doing and realising nowt tough about staffies or huskys lol... down side that is why they often end up in rescue. i know quite a few...dare i say it they are lovely lol.. but! bred deliberately and unhealthtested not only are rescue centres full of staffie crosses they are also over flowing with sibes and their crosses(breed rescues cant cope).. so yeah,great idea bringing more of these breeds and their mixes into the world! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Totally wrong, the bitches owners can't think a lot of her to put her at risk. When will this madness stop putting unsuitable breeds together.
In some ways your right but it doesnt make every staffy/husky breeder all bad. Yes ill informed and the friend an even worse friend posting their friends details on a public forum and b*tching about. Surely not worthy of being deleted maybe a good chance for you to "help" educate/advise instead. But its so much easier just moan about it.
Do you mean staffy and husky or staffy crossed husky if the latter I would say there isn't anything good about it, if the former then possibly if it is a good sound dog with all relevant health checks and potential buyers.
They wouldnt be worth anything here, French people never pay for x breeds, so most x's are accidental and yet the refuges are still full of them.
Where were the 'friend's' details posted? I think I must have missed that part. There is no excuse to be breeding silly combinations of dogs, especially two breeds in crisis.
Yes, it DOES make every person who crosses these breeds wrong - because STAFFIES ARE BEING KILLED EVERY SINGLE DAY, AS ARE STAFFIE CROSSES. Do tell me - what part of this simple fact is so hard for you to grasp??? Rescues are full of Staffies, Staffie crosses AND Huskies and Malamutes. Yet you think it's not a bad thing for some moron to bring MORE into the world??? And given how often you have 'moaned' about people/dogs, it's a bit two faced for you to now bash the OP. So you're not only ignorant but also a hypocrite.
People that breed/xbreed staffies make me want to bang my head against a wall, they seem to have no regard for how many there are, let alone putting a bitch to a dog that is SO much bigger!! Poor girl
oh i have to argue that point...they are both very cute indeed, blooming crap luck to get such owners in the first place is their only crime, but agreed a bad mix of breeds especially for the numpties who want them as a status symbol:-(
My intention was not to 'slag' my friend off really, she is an individual that bumbles through life, acting without any thought to the consequences. Only a year ago was her status asking if anyone had a dog they would breed with her JRT. HOWEVER, I am a dog lover, hence being on the site and feel very passionate about the detrimental consequences for dogs caused by the actions of 'ill informed' individuals. I've not said she is a bad person but what a BAD thing to do, on many different levels. The breed mix & size itself suggests she does not have her bitches best interests at heart, and that is what irks me the most. Then there is the issue that the bitch is young, money is the motivation and the local rescue centre has 35 dogs up for rehoming 20 of which are staff & staff crosses I have commented on her status in the most diplomatic way possible. I have said to her I hope she has the money & time allocated for a section especially if she needs an out of hours vet! Apparently a vet has told her a vaginal delivery should be ok!! That's what I thought. She is no longer at uni, but on benefits now, I imagine the price of the puppies will go towards vets bills.
I could be really controversial and say breeding is a way of life for some people whether it be them or their dogs, the state will support them no matter what the outcome, benefits will continue to be provided and the pups will either bring in money or end up in rescue, lots of people think they have the right to do whatever they want to do regardless if they have the means to support it, the OP made a comment which really supports why we are in the world we are , 'she is an individual that bumbles through life, acting without any thought to the consequences' she is not alone in this approach and therefore until people are willing to accept the outcome of their actions we will continue to have this type of thing happening
Yes, maybe that makes me a rubbish friend but first and foremost I'm a dog/animal lover, and therefore not bothered. If I've ever felt in the past that any of my friends are not doing right by their animals I haven't hesitated in pointing this out. If the people that care deeply about animals and their welfare don't speak out who will? Like you say, it's a good opportunity to educate someone.
Apparently it wasn't planned Another 'bumble' then of not being cautious with a bitch in season who is only just 2 She says the parents both have lovely temperaments with kids, lets hope they all get responsible homes, not holding my breath though :-(
Unfortunately it seems money is the only thing some people think of when it comes to dogs, i was dropping off a clients dogs yesterday and had Merf with me, the clients friend was there when i walked in and the first thing she asked me was am i going to breed from Merf!!! not whats her name, how old is she etc - i told her that Merfs breeder put a restriction on breeding from any of her pups (not that i would ever breed anyway) and the woman said "why would you buy a dog you couldn't breed from"
