goatse guy: I'll have to heck out a breed specific adoption gig, that sounds like it could be good :)

Negromancer posted:

You don't have to get a shelter dog, but please do not buy a $400 dog from a "breeder". You are guaranteed to get a horrible inbred dog that probably has more behavioral issues than any rescue and will have health problems. Especially if it has mini anywhere in the name. If you are set on buying a dog, do your research and find a reputable breeder. Its gonna cost a more money, but it will be well worth it in the long run.

yeah exactly, I'm only looking at breeders recommended by the AKC and none of the Web 2.0 breeder sites since I don't want a neurotic inbred dog haha. my mother in laws dog may be that, but since it's a cavachon (bishon frise or however it's spelled and King Charles ) it more than likely isn't and is possible a puppy mill dog :(

Once you figure out what breed you're looking for if you need info on breeders let me know. Mom breeds dogs and is on the road showing them most weekends, she knows the top breeders for every drat breed as well as the ones to avoid.

Awesome! My brother and sister in law are looking for German Shepherds, so if she knows any good breeders I'd love for them to not get an inbred dog like many GSD's tend to be :)

and if she knows any toy poodle breeders I'd love their information as well :3:

Even a lot of "purebred" breeders are terrible. AKC unfortunately doesn't mean much, terrible breeders can register with them. As much as there's a hate on in AI for Pet Island, go in there, post sensibly, be open to criticism, and there's a ton of good advice. A lot of people there know a ton about various breeds, and can often find/help identify decent breeders, or at least point out red flags. The rescue route is a phenomenal one, my dog is a rescue and I don't think I could get lucky enough to "buy" one of her attitude and awesomeness from a breeder.

My two cents on it anyways :)

I totally forgot about PI :downs: I'll have to poke around in there.

And I will check out adopting, I'm open to the idea but i dont mind shedding dogs and it would be nice to not have to deal with a crying puppy for two months.

Puli's are like mini-komondors that are easier to maintain and train.

I remember watching an AP show about Komondorok and it was like "yeah these dogs are incredibly ancient and also incredibly wild and tough to train"

I've read the same thing about most spitz type dogs as well as all of the Japanese dogs. I'm good with training dogs but I'm afraid my wife isn't so much

As in Brock Samson? Hmm, thats hard to compete with but Stitch is fireproof and bulletproof, and hes really strong :colbert:

haha both him and the biblical hero :3: were a little worried because there's a breed restriction at the apartments we live at but we won't be able to find out what they are until Monday, and we have to pick him up tonight or else we won't be able to get him at all. I know golden retrievers and labs are clear, but the internet says that most places with breed restrictions don't like huskies or GSD's so my wife is stressing out about it lol

my wife's identical twin has his brother so now they're thinking of names like Mowgli and Baloo or Bert and ernie lol. I still like Samson though

Right now I'm watching a neighbour's dogs for the next week since they're neurotic as gently caress and need someone to sleep with them. They gave us $150 for the weekend last time we did this, but only $200 for the full week which is kind of annoying, but also kind of my fault since I never told them a price. Now i'm missing Rascal be adorable (but also not getting woken up every two hours) while drinking their huge selection of booze. First up: gin and sprite because they have no other soda in the house and I'm not a super huge fan of jack and coke.

I have an upgrade every ten months and I pay $100 less than two year contract pricing (so my 64GB 6+ was $299 not $399 and my 32GB 5S was $199 instead of $299) then I sell them for whatever the unlocked rate is and I make money on it.

plus a new screen is $120 which isn't a whole lot of money :v:

Today I discovered that Rascal does not like being on a leash one bit. on one hand he hasn't had any poop accidents and only one wee accident on the carpet (of course) but on the other I'm getting the vibe that all that husky in him is going to make him far harder to train than the border collie i had in australia and my parent's/in-laws cavachons

Yeah, we luckily live by a bunch of trails and I'm planning on taking him on loads of little excursions plus my in law's and parent's back yards are pretty big so he'll have loads of room to run around when I take him over there.

When he's bigger I have a feeling he will absolutely LOVE pulling me around campus on my longboard :3:

I know it's a broken record in this place but holy hell, what kind of demonic possession are some of these people that post on Tumblr on? The absolute shitstorm of crazy honestly had me reaching for a crucifix. Otherkin and gently caress me the hole just goes waaaaaaay deeper from there.

I just blocked that whole shitstorm at the routers at work. We were wondering what someone was spending their time on and dear Lord, I'm regretting reading what pages they were. Hey, this is Something Awful and you do see a lot of hosed up messes as a result if you venture to FYAD and GBS and who the gently caress knows elsewhere (and of course sys admins see the firewall logs. I'm no stranger to some hosed up things people read on IT networks) but this....... I'm not joking, I honestly consider Tumblr proof positive demons are real and they are possessing people. This is just plain next level insanity.

FAT32 SHAMER
Aug 16, 2012



Good news! My vet paperwork said "Husky Mix" on it instead of Husky/German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever so Rascal is now good to live with us! They could tell he was a mix but I said since he has blue eyes he would have to be predominately Husky, and also I had no idea what else he could be and they bought it while cooing about how cute he is.

I have a feeling that if they were to look on the restricted list they might find Siberian Husky, but the lease is already being drawn up with approval for him :laugh:

So your apartment has a restricted breed list or something? And labs are banned but huskies arent? :wtc:

Yeah that's exactly what I said. I guess it may be because labs get slightly bigger than huskies even if they aren't as strong or wild or something? idgi
