Are you breeding Xero? I have issues with Katos breeder knowingly breeding dogs with known bad hips yes and seeing a 10 month old sibling of Katos collapse. I believe dogs are not meant to sit in a house 23 hrs and 10mins a day sorry.
Because many or in fact most people here are from NIS and are trying to promote the breed without outlining the risks involved and the bad breeding practises so to line their pockets, and some of us are worried about whats happening to the dogs.
Nobody on this thread is promoting anything, the thread has got pic's on and people discussing several topics thats it, there's nothing like making a mountain out of mole hill on a nice day is there?
And some people are making sweeping acusations! Ummm from what i have been told TIDA has a few bad apples with regards to breeding.
ok im from the NIS and i own a beautiful little girl called roxy,i dont c y u have ur issues isit because ur jealous that u cant be a good breeder like julie k or is it because u dont have a life kcjack?
Reminds me of my granddad's old saying 'there's a difference between scratching your a*se and tearing it to shreds'. No one has said the dog has to sit inside the house for 23 hrs and 10 mins. The restrictions are to be sensible - what dog doesn't want to run around at 10 months old - just letting them do it may cause severe pain and suffering in later life. I took lupi for several short walks a day in the first few momths, and let him dash and play for a max of 15 minutes, then made him rest a while before going off again. Gradually built up to more time off lead and longer walks. He went out with me in the car and away for weekends, so he wasn't shut in the house all the time. Except of course when I was in.
We try not to be horrible to each other because there are plenty of other people out there being horrible anyway
Few of my gang. Probably seen before elsewhere but thought I'd stick them here too. I really must upload some more! I love this one of all 4 of them (but don't like me in it ) Kalu in hole playing with Kita Lupi with baby kalu Lupi with Shaun Ellis Kia at the beach Kalu and Kita
