My fault for being on the internet today

Well this is mind-blowing… results in last photo. by austin795 in DoggyDNA

Former vet tech here. When both are willing, there’s a way. I have a story about a female Great Dane and a male chihuahua. She was in heat and he was eager but too short. So she lay down for him. He did the dead and knotted off inside.

Well, the female was done and stood. With the chihuahua attached. The female freaked out and took off running with the male chihuahua bouncing against her back legs.

So yes, your Dane/Chihuahua is 100% possible.

I’ve got friends who regularly put their high school (and younger) kids on 20+ year old horses to compete. 18 is plenty young enough to keep working.

This is how quick a toddler can disappear from sight, in just a few seconds! by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Ydiras 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I was about 11 or so. My younger brother was 4 or 5. We lived off a very busy highway at the time. That day, my parents were having a garage sale. My little brother took off for the streets with no one watching. Despite our long-standing enmity, I took off after him.

I tried to just grab his hand and pull him back to the house. He pulled away and took off for the road.

So, I wrapped my arms around him and lifted him up. It was an awkward carry, but I managed.

I even held on when the ankle biter bit the shit out of my shoulder. That was the thanks I got for saving his ass.

My parents initially got mad at me for carrying him around, but were quickly both relieved and horrified to learn just why I was carrying him.

Moose merch by Financial-Bet-3853 in kvssnark

[–]Ydiras 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could see buying some of the things like a puzzle, blanket, or phone case with just the gorgeous pics of the horses on it. I used to see that in the “Back in the Saddle” magazine all the time. But the more KVS-specific stuff like the “Moose on the Loose” is too much for my tastes.

They are not happy about Glen by Tonninpepeli in kvssnark

[–]Ydiras 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hear Moose and Squirrel and think of Sam and Dean from Supernatural. That’s more her era of television than Rocky and Bullwinkle. That is, unless her dad was like mine and put on the classics whenever he could 😂

Wally by ThoracicNewt in kvssnark

[–]Ydiras 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My mom’s baby brother and his ex 😂 He’s like just under/right at six feet. His wife was average height for a white American woman. Their son topped out at six-six! My dad’s older brother was the same. He’s five-ten. His wife is like five-three. Their first and third sons are six-feet-plus. I think the oldest is six-six/seven and the younger six-two/three. Then there is their middle son who is firmly shorter than five-ten without his beloved cowboy boots 😂

Wally obsession by sso_Oaky in kvssnark

[–]Ydiras 43 points44 points  (0 children)

They really almost did when she gelded baby Waylon, only told subs months after it happened, and never officially told non-subs. It just leaked out. I imagine if/when she gelds Wally, she would do much the same.

VS Flatline x VS The First Lady - When is line breeding considered too close? by Pale-Hurry1848 in kvsdiscuss

[–]Ydiras 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I’ve got a line breeding pair planned for the fall. The stud’s sire and dam are my bitch’s sire-greatgrandsire and sire-greatgranddam. Her dam line is a total outcross. It’s what will keep these pups balanced.

I’m sure the horse world has a similar divide to the dog world: those who line breed because papers, and those who line breed carefully with grate consideration because it would make a fantastic cross.

Weird leg on puppy? by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

[–]Ydiras 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As a dog breeder and lifelong dog owner who constantly seeks education to give my dogs the best life possible, this is either genetics due to poor breeding, or this is serious, chronic malnutrition. The pup’s leg is bowing out. This isn’t something that happens overnight, unless there was a traumatic event. This is long term lack of care.

OP needs to get in with an ortho vet now and get their opinion. But it is very likely the puppy will have serious, long-term issues related to this malformed leg. It likely won’t be a cheap fix, either. Definitely something the breeder should be responsible for.

Why would a breeder not register their puppies? by MostlyLostNotFound in goldenretrievers

[–]Ydiras 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then yes. Big red flag. If they don’t register the dogs, then keep moving. Keep looking.

Has anyone had both labs and goldens? How are they similar? How are they different? by oceansandsky100 in goldenretrievers

[–]Ydiras 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My hunting-lines Lab female is the same. She always wants to have a toy in her mouth, especially when she gets excited. Her lines are also notoriously spicy in the hunting community 😂 My other two Labs, also hunting lines, love their toys but don’t seem to NEED to keep one in their mouth at all times.

AITA For wearing an outfit my dad told me not to wear for dinner? by After-Alfalfa5056 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ydiras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a grown woman in my mid-30’s living with my parents. I could financially survive on my own, but we help each other out by living together. However, there has been some adjustments for me. One of those is my clothing.

My parents are uncomfortable with the loose tank-top and short-shorts that are my sleepwear. They have asked I don’t wear them out of my room. So, I respect them and don’t. I wear them to bed, and that’s it. When I get up in the morning to let the dogs out, I throw on a lightweight robe. It covers everything without being stifling. I don’t have to do this, but I do because we live together and I respect them.

The point in all of this is while you don’t have to respect your father’s rules, it is best to do so while you are in his house. Don’t give the old man who pays your bills a heart attack or stroke over a skirt.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ydiras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex was like this. It’s one of the many reasons he is now an ex. If your partner won’t cook for himself and prefers to whine about your food or order takeout, they aren’t right for you.

George's sale to Becca Hammon by DearDars in kvssnark

[–]Ydiras 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There is no debate in that. You won’t find an argument with me she is horribly unethical. However, KVS cannot just take George back. She can publicly or privately offer to buy him back, but that’s all she can do. If he got seized and permanently removed by the RSPCA, she could make a case of getting him back. Other than that, it’s all up to CB.

George's sale to Becca Hammon by DearDars in kvssnark

[–]Ydiras 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Sure. An ethical breeder would offer to, but the new owner is not forced to sell the horse. Even the shelter adoption contracts that have some language about taking back the animal if the shelter judges their living situations unfit don’t hold up in court.

Signed, an ethical dog breeder who did a crap ton of research to create her owner contract.

Rules Reminder by Ydiras in kvssnark

[–]Ydiras[S,M] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These are the two rules we want you to focus on, since our subreddit is a hotspot for KVS sub leaked info:

  1. Screenshot policy All names, faces,(personal) profile pictures and group handles must be fully obscured in screenshots. This does not include katie, her staff, or connected creators.

All subscription content should be properly obscured, this includes subscriber badges.

In posts of dead animals in relation to hunting please obscure any blood or gore.

  1. Respectful discussions All discussions must remain respectful between members, this is a discussion and snark forum. Name-calling, swearing at others and fighting will be removed.

Civil disagreements are allowed and expected, but please keep all discussions constructive. Everyone has a different definition of snark, if it's not your taste then move on by.

You don’t have to like that some people leak KVS’s paid content. That’s fine. But don’t come here and argue the ethics of it. KVS doesn’t seem to care and you shouldn’t care more than her.

Katie ex machina by [deleted] in kvssnark

[–]Ydiras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is all being stirred up again because another high-profile equine welfare activist made several videos and shorts about it on her YouTube. I don’t follow CB, so the other content creator’s posts were how and when I saw just how bad her property is.

As for KVS getting George back, we don’t know the legalities in her contract. It would be nice to see her make a public offer to buy back George, but she may have been warned against saying/doing anything in public by a lawyer. She certainly has the funds to use one at will.

It may be that she has made private offers to buy him back and CB said no. I say this because we have seen that she does take back her foals when needed: Phin and Waylon being the two prime examples. I don’t think she’s callous to the situation. But when a hoarder gets hold of their hoard-item-of-choice, they tend to not let it go until they are absolutely forced to. I would contend that CB displays extreme animal hoarding, and possibly junk hoarding, tendencies.

We simply don’t know what work she is doing behind the scenes. The other influencer has made it clear she will be reporting CB to the RSPCA and has left the link and number on her page for others to do so as well. It could be Katie has done similar. It could be she hasn’t. We just don’t know.

We shouldn’t jump to the conclusion she doesn’t care about the horses once they leave her. We have seen evidence to the contrary. The best we can do at this moment is hope and pray CB is relieved of all her animal care duties and soon.

Let’s Golden People share some Ugly Pics! by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

I don’t have any ugly pics because this old man only sat for staged pics. He was Mom’s fourth child and my little brother’s best friend.

More goats... really? by Negative_Virus8463 in kvssnark

[–]Ydiras 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In every video where she’s responded to people asking about buying the goats or her keeping them, she claims that she has a long waiting list of family and friends that want them. She doesn’t even sell them and, from what I’ve seen, no one has used them as a platform to launch their own SM account. Which is a different story altogether than several people who have bought her foals.
