I think the article said one (or more) of the dogs had been there for 18 months. If I'm even remembering correctly, is something like that common? I get that show people may have lots of dogs, but it seems dumb to own a pet you never have around, even if it is only a trophy dog. e: I would love for the dogladies to pay $10 to sign up so they can berate us. That always works out so well for people.

Why the hell do you need to cull the others after taking two out of the nest?

I casually lurk mouse forums since I'm trying to learn color genetics to fuel my BYBing, and they seem to be way more laid back than rat ladies, especially about culling. The consensus seems to be that mice are such crappy mothers and large litters stress them out so much that it's better to cull litters down to a manageable size, the smaller the better. Usually they let colors and markings come in and then cull down to the 3 or 4 they want to keep.

I would think that culling the whole litter would make the mother mouse "depressed" and "rob her of the experience of being a mother" and all the other stuff people use to justify breeding in the first place, wouldn't it? Or does the mother mouse not matter because she and this high school kid don't have a ~special bond~

Gotta make my husband budget for it, hahaha. We're poor... Boy do I know the feeling. I give big discounts when I try new things, so since yours would be my first martingale, it would be pretty cheap. Plus I am a super thrifty shopper.  They want $6 for a metal buckle at the craft store? LOL gently caress that, I just go buy belts from Goodwill for $1.50 and take the buckle off (like I did for Lola's collar). Saves a ton of money and I have belts to make collars out of later if I want.I'll message you.

RazorBunny posted:I would think that culling the whole litter would make the mother mouse "depressed" and "rob her of the experience of being a mother" and all the other stuff people use to justify breeding in the first place, wouldn't it? The experience of eating them all herself maybe I was running my water bottles through the dishwasher on Saturday because they were kinda gross. This takes about an hour tops. In that time, I watched one of my mice go to where her water bottle normally is and sniff around. When she couldn't find it, she started running and sniffing everywhere, prob looking for water, and kept returning to the spot where it should be. I didn't want to keep her waiting because they freak out pretty quickly if they can't find food/water, so I got up to go pull a bottle out of the dishwasher, finish cleaning it by hand, and give it to her right then. In the 3 minutes this took, I returned to find her halfway through eating one of her week old babies. Most of it was already gone. She had been without water for less than 30 minutes. I have no idea how mice survive to weaning age in the wild.

Skizzles posted:Omg I'm so glad it fits, it looks lovely on her! It looks even better in the sunshine!       I had to move the d-ring closer to the buckle though (second pic onwards shows it), since Lola is a retard and kept pulling at such an angle that it kept slipping out of the ring and annoying me. After I moved it it didn't slip out once, and so far it's been on a two hour walk. I'm sure Lola felt very pretty  Superconsndar posted:In the 3 minutes this took, I returned to find her halfway through eating one of her week old babies. Most of it was already gone.

Superconsndar posted:I have no idea how mice survive to weaning age in the wild. When I volunteered with lab mice (only for a few months to see if I liked it as a job) we used C57CL/6 mice in our breeding colony because they're very good mothers. I think we had 4 litters of 10-12 when I left with 4 more on the way and none eaten. And this was the first litter for the whole group. I'd say wild mice are either more like C57s or they just have enough litters that the better ones make up for the idiot ones.

Super maybe your parents are just the most passive agressive people on earth and hate you and your mean dog and freak dog and came up with the puppy plot to force you to move out.  Fraction I was about the harp you for sun pics of Lola's new collar. It's great. I also never knew she had a spotty ear because I am dumb and your avatar never clued me in somehow.

It is pretty rare in the UK and Ireland, but more common in the USA. It's basically for people who don't have the time to 'special'/'campaign' their show dogs across the US or Europe or whatnot, so they pay a pro-handler $$$ to do it and take care of all the grooming, training, conditioning etc. Pro-handlers also have way more weight in the ring, so for people who want their dogs to be 'winningest' (that's apparently a real word, who knew) its pretty important that they're shown by the pros. I can't imagine sending a dog of mine away for one month let alone eighteen, but different strokes etc. Super, your posts in the fire thread were also 'sinister' and 'SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!', jsyk. .

That is certainly a thing.  BURN THE SHOW RING TO THE GROUND

I can't imagine sending a dog of mine away for one month let alone eighteen, but different strokes etc. Some of the handling stuff makes sense to me- I mean, if you own the dog and show it, and sometimes you'd like to to go to shows that you can't attend due to work or other obligations, then yeah it would make sense to have someone sensible and trained handle the dog for those events. On the other hand, if you just want to do this as a hobby or you have the time and ability to do so, I totally think you should show your own dogs. My dad shows his two and travels to shows several states away to do so and he has a full time job. For him its his hobby and something he does to bond with his dogs.

Fraction posted:The moral to this story is, mice are loving retarded They are. God they are. But I never really had a lot of pup cannibalization the last time I did this. If one went after the pups I just murdered it and let Balen throw it around or whatever. He fuckin' loved chase the dead mouse when he was younger. Maybe I managed to breed it out or whatever. I dunno. I'm hoping it goes well. The only reason I'm doing it at all is because a local pet store ran out of room for tanks and asked if I wanted discounts for housing some breeders Since I get practically everything there, even the dog food, it works out pretty nice. And like Super I get to BYB cracked crazy color stuff which I've always enjoyed. On showing/handling: I think it comes in handy if you're showing more than one dog at the same time, too. Still, I'd rather handle my own dogs if I'm going to show them.

Yeah I think there's a distinction to be made - using a pro-handler sometimes because you're busy is one thing, actually sending a dog to live away from you for a year and a half ao they can chase titles is another. I'm sure the dogs adjust just fine but - at some point a pet stops becoming a pet, in my opinion at least.
