I wasn't going to to this but you've slandered me enough - I never said anything other than your dog is VERY thin - and he was like that for months - that haircoat is poor, he's not "out of coat". Well he might be but there's more to it than that and you know it. Jairi has dug her own grave...

The fila looks like crap. One snapshot in a dog's life. Just like the one who revived this thread, btw. I don't "support" Teal or whatever name she goes by but I think a 100+ page thread attacking her is called for, either. But that's what this forum's good at! But, if you want to base your...

Although I'll likely regret this post - it's rich of RC to come here and bash others when her own dog has looked like this in the past :( I guess he should have been returned to his breeder?? And the whole world called to attack her? And that is all I have to say on that matter :cool:

I've met some neat people here, but some of you have really confirmed my distrust of forums - I appreciated your support when our dog was ill but I don't need to answer to a bunch of strangers about how we run our rescue. If that makes me rude/arrogant, whatever. But to hear people say our...

You of all people should understand :rolleyes:

Back on page TWO I stated that I understood the neutering thing. yet people continued to pick pick pick. I have seen the ONE study that says dogs can have longer legs and a slightly increased chance of a type of cancer. Yes my response is one of frustration. Disappointment for sure. It's...

Yes. I am being jumped on, over and over, I am sick (at Dr right now) and sick of it. And if I've lost all tact, Sue me. You want to anyway. I might add that the one thing we hear over and over is appreciation we care enough to alter ALL our dogs prior to placement. Itd sure be cheaper if...

Whatever you want to believe...pages and pages ago I talked about the miniscule possibility of cancer "maybe" "later on" being an acceptable risk. A few of you don't like me, period, you've made it clear. Why justify what we do in rescue to YOU??? Ps- your signature under your name is quite...

Those opinions you sneer at come after years of performing prepubescent surgery, BTW.

I never said there was no risk. But it doesn't matter to me. If it dies during surgery, bummer but that's sometimes how life is. If it gets cancer down the road, oh well. That's how life is. Choose your poison.

Exactly. I am not unaware that there is controversy in one small study. But it simply doesn't matter in the long run. Dekka - "people in power "?? Who is that? Certainly not me. I have a small rescue and we are pro s/n however that gets accomplished. We won't send out dogs...

Cats were included in the early s/n that is why. Yes I have read the ONE article about early s/n posted on K9 sports. That's not enough for us to decide to wait. And again, why is this making you so angry? It's our rescue, our decision, our VET doing it (if they truly thought there was no...

LOL So you'll ignore all these folks, including the AVMA??? Columbus Academy of Veterinary Medicine AVMA-American Veterinary Medical Assoc HSUS, Humane Society of the US The Ohio State University FranklinCountyDogs.com Cat Fanciers Association Texas A & M College of Vet...

Who is sticking their head in the sand?? Seriously? I hope you are not talking about me because I stated I had read the studies, and the benefits outweigh the risks. Did you even read my links?? Early Spay / Neuter How Young is too Young? Early Spay & Neuter

Well...some eat their dogs. Many don't view dogs as household pets. There's less fascination with them for sure. I think Canada, the UK and a few others keep dogs as pets but many of your eastern countries don't.

Exactly- and most rescues I know would tell you the same. Even if it's a pediatric alter.

I believe PFs stance is that puppies can go out unaltered - on a contract to alter. We have to send our contract in to PF as part of the process to get a page. What I think is nuts is where some of the rescues will ask a fee PLUS make you pre-pay an alter. On the few times in the past we...

They make exceptions for municipalities, I worked 3yrs. as animal control and we had a PF page. Sad but true. I think they ought to hold them to the same standards but maybe they couldn't even get a PF page then. We wouldn't have been able to, since we didn't alter. I tried to get a program in...

Early Spay & Neuter Early Spay / Neuter How Young is too Young? I'm posting these for you because you asked to see. Believe me, we have done our research and aren't making a blind decision to do pediatric spay/neuter. There are benefits to pediatric s/n and benefits to waiting, they...

Ditto. No way, no how. Not when we can do it earlier/prior to placement. And again, what is it to YOU (that is, Corgi and the other naysayers)? You're not getting one of our dogs, and I seriously doubt you know anyone who is! In fact this whole thing has become comical and as one person said...
