When was the last time you where in Anchorage?
I grew up there and I cant even say Ive seen a handful of comercial mushers opperating out of Anchorage.
Huskys arent bred for DA, they are bred to work as a team not fight another dog as the Dogmen bred. Huskys where bred to pull and enjoy it, and as such make the bush life easier.
Did I say that we went dogsledding through Anchorage? Nope. And I know what Huskies were bred to do.
So let's see, what about since I hog hunt? Should I be limited to only 1 dog b/c y'all think so & be forced to hunt with only 1 dog? Is it possible for a dog to be a bay dog & a catch dog & bring down a 300lb board by itself? I'd love to see that dog since according to y'all I have no business owning more than one dog.
And assuming doens't make an ass out of me. It looks like that b/c the person assuming is telling lies & making up stories, but the truth defends me & protects me. I could care less what y'all think of me. I'm here to defend my dogs.
And I don't understand it. Here y'all are, preaching to us how y'all are trying to fight BSL, yet the things y'all say & do are actually more along the lines of trying to enforce it. You say you love the breed, yet you don't want anyone to own it. You say you love the breed, but God forbid we actually work the dogs. You say you love the breed, but you want to change it & make it into a lab. That's not love. That's called a power trip.
Once a week sure, but I don't feel that's enough.
Again, an assumption. No matter how many times I, we, say it, it never gets throught to people.
And I've realized one thing throughout this whole post: it's not a dog chainng issue, it's not a conditioning issue, it's a "pit bull" issue. Most of y'all are ready to rid the world of "pit bulls" so they can no longer be "abuesed". If you go to the PETA homepage, this is also their motto & way of thinking & we know what a reliable & reasonable organization they are. It's already been said that it's ok & understandable for husky owners to chain, but not us. It's ok for hundreds of thousands of labs to die in the shelters, but "pit bulls" are the only ones discussed in an effort to drastically reduce their population. It's very clear that y'all would prefer that our dogs are confiscated & euthanized b/c that's nicer than having to stay on a chain when confined.
And just out of curiosity, what do y'all think of sheep farmers who still use dogs like the Great Pyranese to LIVE with & guard their flocks? You think these dogs have ever seen a couch? Or a thick $150 bed from Petco? You think these dogs sleep in the beds with children & romp & play with their humans? Guess again. These dogs have a purpose & it's not one as a pet. They live their entire lives with the flock independent of a lot of human contact. I guess that pisses y'all off as well?
The big issue here, once again, is trying to rid the world of "pit bulls" so they will no longer be abused. But even if it did work, another breed will only take its place. And let's also rid the world of working dogs b/c it's cruel & inhumane to not treat them as pets (most true that's right, working dogs are not pets). Screw the military & the police forces, their inhumane treatment of dogs has got to go. No wonder why BSL is proving so hard to fight. Because the owners of other breeds claiming to help fight it, are actually doing the opposite. Yay.
