Goddamn there's just this huge slapfight between bird keeping groups in Singapore. The group I'm in believes that all birds should be free flighted and trained well, while the other pampers their birds all the way, and the group of old people keeping songbirds think that we're weird for keeping parrots. gently caress I don't want to fight over this, I want to just cuddle all the birds.

But they grandfather in all dogs that've been with families since.. 2010? I know it's not too long ago. They banned them on airforce bases while I was in Japan. The guy beside us (a marine) owned a big doofy blue pit named Blue. I posted about him a couple times. Never put them on a leash or anything and Blue always came charging to come see me. It was like being hit by a small mac truck. He said they'd have to pry his dog from his cold, dead hands.  I can't remember if they're okay or not on marine or navy bases, but I'd imagine if they aren't they'll be banned shortly (shortly being the military version of shortly, so you know, within 30 years). Also banned are rotties, dobies, wolf hybrids, and a few other breeds. The vet offices on base will look a pit pup in the faces, smile and say "Aww, that's an awesome lab mix!" and write it down about 99% of the time because even they think it's bullshit. It's basically there to make the moron wives with 400 kids feel better so they can complain about other things, like their husband not being home at noon or the thrift store not letting them have stuff for free. Incredibly important things, you understand. E: Which isn't to say housing won't come investigate some rear end in a top hat screaming "oh my godddd they have a pitttt" complaint, but like I said. The vet office will happily lie for you in every case I've ever seen, and all housing wants to see is a vet record that doesn't say "pit" on it.

I always wondered, if a wrinkle-faced dog suffered chronic issues like yeast infections, would it be totally outside the realm of normal treatment to have a surgeon do a little nip and tuck? I know there are surgical procedures for tightening up droopy eyelids, I can't imagine it's all that different to remove some excess face-flap. I walked past an English bulldog once in DC who had really dramatic face wrinkles, and he smelled like a condemned bakery

I think they do sometimes do wrinkle surgery, don't they? My grandmother's English Bulldog was the best drat dog but her regimen of daily care just to keep her from being a horrible infected lump was ridiculous. Ointment here, drops there, swabs here... e. Dog's name was Sweetlips.

I know for a fact Sharpeis get wrinkle surgery because I had a friend who had three of them have to go through it.  Another friend is looking into getting her dorky english bulldog's face unsmooshed, too, because he has a ridge that frequently grows really cool looking stuff that probably isn't good for him.

We reached a milestone today! Psyche was doing so well during our weekly training session, that I was able to let her walk around free in our living room (muzzled, of course). The trainer just sat on the couch, but she was talking animatedly and moving her hands around. Psyche ignored her and just followed me around the room in the hopes that she might get some cheese. I'm very excited. It will be a tall hurdle to jump to get Psyche to be as calm if the trainer isn't sitting still, but we're getting there!

I had a Pug in one of my agility classes who, fantastically, ran quickly and didn't wheeze or snort when it moved. Turns out the dog had had surgery when it was younger to remove excess skin from its throat and have its nares widened. It was almost functional. It still had no nose.

Do you mean after it was done with its showing career, or was it allowed to show after having surgery? I mean, my sport (Thoroughbred racing) may have problems, but at least our animals are functional.

Before, or at least according to the documentary 'Pedigree Dogs Exposed'. Show dogs aren't supposed to compete if they've had cosmetic surgery, but then they also aren't supposed to compete with chalk, eyeliner, hair pieces, dye, hair straighteners and hair spray - but they do anyway.

Wait, google says this is the story; PDE specifically targeted the pekingese for its extreme conformation, detailing how Pekingese named Danny actually won BIS at Crufts in 2003. The rumor mill suggested that this dog had had a facelife. When Jemima Harrison’s team tracked down the real story, it turned out that he had not had a facelift, but instead, he had undergone a procedure to pare back some of his soft palate, which was obstructing his trachea. Dogs with extremely short muzzles have mouths and throats like normal dogs, but they don’t have enough space for all the things that go in there. It is possible for the soft palate to become very scrunched up in the back, which restricts the airways. Facelifts for show dogs are illegal under Kennel Club rules, but soft palate surgery is not. Perhaps most infamously, Danny had to be placed upon an icepack to cool himself just before the awards ceremony at Crufts.

Well I know this might sound strange, but why don't they just breed them so the dogs have less wrinkles in the first place? Superconsndar posted:Well, if you want to smell like an infection...

The short answer is "because, showdogs" but I know a lot of sharpei breeders are actively trying to avoid breedings that encourage quite so many wrinkles. Kinda like a lot of boxer breeders are kinda getting on the boat about not having dog noses smashed into the back of their heads. quote:Don't care I'd smoosh that face all day erryday.

Sharpei dogs are very pretty when they're not a huge mass of wrinkles, and I hope that trend towards less wrinkles continues. Also I'm glad you got the reference.

As much as I wish to say Akita, we still rent. So, Shiba. With the way our work schedules are now (I work from home most of the day now), and for the future, it looks like timing might be right for a puppy to come to us between now and next year. I haven't gotten what I've wanted from several of the fosters we've had, and we will still be able to foster, plus we've been getting more foster volunteers that I feel comfortable enough to entertain the idea if we decide to take a short foster hiatus. Though I have to say, our trip to the dog beach we met the best Klee Kai, and it went against every fiber of my being to shout I needed one. But I refuse.

Shiba puppy I'm in the same boat, although not at the level of being able to call breeders just yet. I have a career where I can work from home, I make decent money, and I have the time and inclination to raise a pup or train an adult dog. Of course, Keeper has this weird benign lump on his gumline that I want to have removed. It's a purely cosmetic issue, according to the vet, but it's gathering plaque and trapped food under it and it generally makes his mouth smell like hell, so I want it gone. Then, once that expense is over, I can look at puppies. I am also considering Sheebs though. After having a pom, I imagine nothing could be worse. Right now my list goes pom, pap, sheeb, pom, pom. Malachite_Dragon posted:Right here! http://youtu.be/G8TObHxa1WY Hex will very gently and very purposefully bite you on the leg or arm if she thinks you're not smacking her enough, and then blink at you all innocent like 'What did you expect?'. Lately she's taken to climbing up on her new cat shelf and screaming (seriously, screaming) to be smacked, although no one can reach her up there and it is maddening. I love that loving cat.
