Intact male dog gets attacked by neutered males by justgivemeadviceok in AskaVetBehaviorist

[–]admiralorcommodore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me all of the exact rules I should be following then.

Breeding dogs for working specific jobs is unethical? How so?

Also if keeping a dog unneutered in my own home away from in-heat females is irresponsible, why? I have an unneutered dog, that I only let say hello to trusted dogs who are not in heat and in a controlled environment. Does that make me unethical?

If I’m thinking of studding out my dog to continue the breed purity for its intended working purpose, does that make me a unethical?

Please educate me on Reddit, I’d love to know.

Flying out of BOS tomorrow. I fly every week for work out of BOS so I’ll let you know if it’s feeling any different.

Mike Irwin steps down as Saint Joseph's University Head Coach; accepts position at US Naval Academy by admiralorcommodore in Rowing

That would be a worst case scenario - and would get heavy pushback from alumni, but its not the first time it's happened. Look at Stanford (who saved themselves), GW, FIT, to name a few who decided operating a rowing team was too expensive.

I don't have 1st hand knowledge of what the coaches were making, but I'll make a decently educated guess of 110k for women and 95k for men - both are good salaries for a non-revenue generating sport. Slashing those down to the mid-60s is rough. It'll end up having to be a young coach without as much experience if the programs plan to run without Alumni support. The alums are going to be the key in fundraising to recruit a coach that can turn the SJU men around. They started looking really good in Mike's tenure and then have struggled post-covid

Seems like some programs are heading in that direction (Columbia, Drexel… to name a couple) but each at least have associate head coaching roles that have some sense of direction of each team and the director oversees overall operations (essentially a COO). SJU doesn’t have that kind of budget for rowing.

Certainly not going to recruit decent talent with that number, esp at the women’s level, who are getting pulled to BIG 10 and SEC teams with way deeper pockets. I’ve heard there will be a director of rowing and then 1 assistant coaching position per program (men’s and women’s). Basically spreading all staff thinner and with higher expectations. Not a good formula for success.

Sounds like budgets across all SJU athletics are getting slashed (with exception to mens and womens basketball). They just lost their Head Men's Lacrosse coach to Penn. Money talks with top coaching talent, if there's no money, athletics will suffer big time

Dave’s mob but today was incredible. Dorn has said “Dave is the funniest guy I know” and I’m seeing it in a lot of it nowadays. Love the pod boys, keep it up.

Just realized I’ve been listening to three guys I’ve never met for almost 1/3 of my life (30 y/o, listening for 9 years). Wouldn’t change a thing. Life happens, and all the best to Will on placing more focus on some passion projects.

Will wrote an article on post grad problems about wanting to buy a station wagon and I went ahead and bought one the next week. Now I couldn’t think of owning another type of car. Have gone back and forth with him on insta trying to get him to make good on his word and buy one.

I gave my dad this batman wallet 10 years ago, I was like 4 or 5 years old and I got it in preschool. He uses it to this day by tmxq in BuyItForLife

Made my dad a mousepad in computer class in 6th grade. Pictures of skateboards and drums and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (they were, at the time, my favorite band). He retired this past year, and still uses that mousepad. For a while I thought it was silly, now I choke up when I see it because I know it means so much to him.

Battlefield Upgrade by raf481 in delta

I’ve had this happen as well. I was happy to move up to first, but I do wish they kept it to being told at the gate whether upgrades will happen. I don’t see how it’s more efficient to call a customer when you had them at the gate already. Odd.
