What's GIPs opinion on dog breeding anyways? I know some people really want a particular type of dog. And I guess it makes sense if you need a herding dog or something? But it gets a little crazy with great danes and poo poo. But I've always seen it as selfish (Obviously rescue mutts rule and are the best)

Personally I don't like supporting "purebreds" most of the time because they often come from mills and mills are loving depressing, and bad.

If it comes from a private breeder, than just make sure they have a healthy life and don't get ripped off. Sputnik is purebred and he's an adopt from someone who didn't have the time to care for him.

Gwen is a cardigan corgi who failed out of the show dog business and was adopted by my grandma. She may have been abused by her previous owners, and may also be borderline retarded. She's like the Brick Tamland of dogs. But she doesn't bark, bite, or go fast, so she's a great companion for a 94 year old lady. And a good dogge.

gently caress you forever if you support puppy mills. My sheltie was a rescue and was used for puppies. While I'm sure they were insanely cute, she is traumatized as gently caress and even though we've had her well over a year, she still hides in a corner all day every day. It's loving sad and depressing because she's an amazingly cute dog who everyone loves. She just thinks everyone is going to beat her.

when we first got Roscoe the dude was extremely scared of men and would piss on the floor every time i would clip his leash on to take him for a walk.

figured out it was submission urination and with about a couple weeks worth of work he got out of it, he was probably abused/hit a lot before he was rescued

now he just loving chills out all day and gives little/no fucks

All of my mutts have been rescues.

Our newest goof is a Border Collie/Goldie mix.

She is 5, maybe 30 pounds thanks to her previous owners and afraid of everything.

Our boxer had been abused prior to use getting him - some scars from hitting and infected feet/hair loss from being left standing in his own poo poo and piss in a cage all the time. He finally escaped somehow and was living on the streets of Chicago in January when he caught and handed over to a rescue shelter. He was 35 lbs and you could see bones under the skin very clearly. A few weeks of daily showers and ointments took care of the infections and skin, a few months of overly indulgent attitude about table scraps and he got back up to full weight. He spends his days laying on a spare bed watching the neighborhood out the windows and sleeping in the sun, gets 3 meals plus treats every day, and sleeps in front of a fire place on 3 stacked dog beds at night.

he won the puppy dog lottery.

My little girl barely eats (we have shopped around a lot before finding some stupid expensive, freeze dried, PI approved pet food she seems to like*), sits in a corner near a sliding door hiding behind curtains, and only shows any sign of life when we take her outside.

It's super loving sad because we can't even really train her because she doesn't respond to poo poo and thinks she's going to get beat whenever we try to get her to do something. She still gets scared when we (mostly i, she actually likes my wife to some extent) try to give her treats for Christ's sake. It's super sad and I hate it because she is literally the only dog I've ever met who doesn't like me :(

*by like I mean she will actually eat it on a fairly regular basis. Getting her to eat is a feat because she thinks she'll get beat for eating the food we put right in front of her.

Do your research on the breeders you are looking at.

Some really shady poo poo goes down with dog breeding. Make sure they are registered with AKC, have all the proper paperwork, blah blah blah...

If you plan on actually breeding a dog, don't.

SEATTLE -- Public transit in Seattle has gone to the dogs.

Commuters in Belltown report seeing a Black Labrador riding the bus alone in recent weeks. The 2-year old has been spotted roaming the aisles, hopping onto seats next to strangers, and even doing her part to clean the bus -- by licking her surroundings.

"All the bus drivers know her. She sits here just like a person does," said commuter Tiona Rainwater, as she rode the bus through downtown Monday. "She makes everybody happy. How could you not love this thing?"

When the dog got off the bus - without an owner - at a dog park last week, it piqued the curiosity of local radio host Miles Montgomery.

"It doesn't really appear to have an owner. The dog gets off at the dog park. I just look out the window and I'm like, 'did that just happen?'" Montgomery asked. "She was most concerned about seeing out the window, and I couldn't figure out what that was. It was really just about seeing where her stop was."

Turns out the dog, Eclipse, doesn't always ride the bus alone. She visits the dog park a few times a week, sometimes with her owner.

The duo lives right near the bus stop at 3 Ave. W. and W. Mercer Street. Eclipse's solo rush hour ride happened one day when her owner took too long to finish a cigarette.

"We get separated. She gets on the bus without me, and I catch up with her at the dog park," said Jeff Young, who owns the dog. "It's not hard to get on. She gets on in front of her house and she gets off at the dog park, three or four stops later."

Young said the tradition has been going on for a while.

"She's been here the last two years, so she's been urbanized, totally. She's a bus-riding, sidewalk-walking dog," he said. "Probably once a week I get a phone call. 'Hi. I have your dog Eclipse here on 3rd and Bell,'" he recounted. "I have to tell them, 'no. She's fine.' She knows what she's doing."

A spokesman for Metro Transit said the agency loves that a dog appreciates public transit.

"She would be much safer in the world if she had her owner on a leash," he joked.

"It makes their day," added Young. "It's a good part of their day and it works out for her so I just let it go."

My gf is just absolutely obsessed with great danes and if we get a dog(s) one of them has to at least be one. She had one for a while but had to get rid of it when she moved a bit ago. She was showing me this **WARNING AD GREAT DANE PUPS** craigslist ad where someone was calling out a BYB (backyard breeder - taken straight from the ad) because they were claimed to be 3 generation of champions or some poo poo, no paperwork, and one was a color that only happens when a genetic mishap occurs and it couldn't ever be a show dog and she was telling me how they're very sensitive to breeding and can have a lot of health problems and all the other poo poo wrong with what she was doing etc etc. The pictures were a cage in a dirt lot in a backyard it looked like. Idk it just seemed ironic because I'm all about rescues and that's all we had growing up but she rage emailed the lady and posted a warning craigslist ad herself.

Im going to say this now and save you the horrible experience.

Do not get a dog with a girlfriend.

Imma repeat that.

Do not get a dog with a girlfriend.

When you two break up she will take it. Regardless of her even liking the dog. She will take it, just because you love it and its all you want and she can "keep everything but just let me have the dog". That bitch is taking the dog just to be a bitch to you. And unless you were running Patricia Driscoll on the side, there isn't a loving thing you can do about it.

That just makes me so extraordinarily sad. I am just going to tell myself he got rescued by awesome dudes in a helicopter.

On a better note, our boxer made it through surgery and is recuperating well. The prednisone they have him on makes him drink, eat, and piss like no tomorrow.

Yup, if you're not married make sure you're the one to take it to the vet and register all the contact info and bills under your name, particularly the microchip info and the county/city registration.

For that matter, do it even if you are married so you have some kind of legal leg to stand on if you get divorced.

No need. It happened in Bosnia, here is the waterfall during the summer


You can see the one he is on, it isn't too bad. The rangers came out to deal with it, apparently ti is a regular thing for deer and wild boar to end up where he is. They finally coaxed him to jump back into the water and he swam to the other side and ran off into the woods, presumably to join the hunter he belonged to.
