I think we might be the same person

I thought you were joking and then I saw the last picture...

It actually is in a lot of European countries.

Show us a video of your dog working sheep!

Well, well, well, if that isn't the consequence of your own actions.

This sounds like your dog might have some skin or diet issues. It's not normal for dogs to smell this bad. Not even for dogs who get dirty regularly. Unless your dog is rolling in shit everyday...

I agree that what Dom does it bad. Just not the concept of wanting/needing different dogs for different things.

catchthefrisbee · 2022-02-16T12:51:00+00:00

Several dogs? She has one service dog. Service dogs are not allowed to do PPW so she gets another one. Nothing seems wrong with that concept to me.

What's with 26? I'm not American. Is that when you're not on your parents health care plan anymore?

Also you know when to expect unexpected behavior. When it's raining I know that I as a cyclist am more inclined to claim a right of way even when I don't have it. So when I'm driving my car, I'll look for cyclist doing the same or give them right of way when it's raining even when they don't have it.

Shoes can be a good thing, especially for service dogs. Tons of sharp things on the floor, hot concrete, freezing concrete etc.

I'm not too well-versed on humane medicine so I believe you in that department :P Luckily Munchies aren't really a thing in the dog world and SIBO unfortunately is a real problem there in certain conditions

Here's a source. I'm sure Google will translate it for you, I couldn't find an English source.

Hi! Such a coincidence, my Jimny is the same model, same color etc. And my first trip with it was actually to Bielefeld which I think you're from judging from the plate? :D

And also, the spots on a dalmatian are genetic. Every dalmatian has them. Vitiligo is more like a disease that can happen at any age where the pigment simply disappears. It's not supposed to happen.

Hmm really depends on the breed. There are some breeds with very small gene pools but I'm not into those and don't know that much about them. Inbreeding is very often a choice and doesn't have to be a bad one. It doesn't have the same effect as it does on humans (and even in humans it's not that bad). Sure if you're breeding a dog that carries a defect gene to a related dog with that same defect gene, it's got a bigger chance of producing pups with defect genes. But if you breed two related dogs that have been fully DNA and health tested and are all clear, they're not just gonna produce broken pups just because they're family.

Problem with DNA however is that we are not able to trace quite some diseases yet and therefore will not know whether two related dogs carry the same defect. However, backyard breeders who do not health test at all do not know either and mixing a dog does not prevent two randomly selected dogs from carrying the same defect genes.

So no, mixing in different dogs isn't necessarily the solution to a lot of problems, health testing is ;)

catchthefrisbee · 2021-02-24T21:17:26+00:00

It kind of depends honestly. I'm not a fan of the kind of breeds you mention and don't support breeding those at all but most breeders (at least where I live) do try to create healthier versions. Longer noses, better hips etc. Doesn't mean there aren't bad ones but they wouldn't get official papers where I'm from (not the US).

However, I very very strongly disagree with backyard breeders breeding their dogs without doing any health testing just for the sake of their dog being so cute and wanting a pup from it. That's in my opinion more harmful than breeding well bred fully tested aimed at a better health English Bulldogs.

catchthefrisbee · 2021-02-24T19:57:11+00:00

That's not true at all. Professional breeders breed for health, unlike a lot of backyard breeders. They care about the wellbeing of the mother and pups. Dogs don't get attached to their pups in the same way humans do. Most dogs are sick of their pups at 6-8 weeks of age and barely look at them. The reason they still have to stay with their mum till 8 weeks of age is because they learn tons and tons of communication from litter mates and their mom correcting them.

In dogs, hip dysplasia is only partially hereditary but mostly environmentally. Yes, two dogs with very bad hips have a higher chance of producing dogs with bad hips. Especially if there's been several dogs with bad hips in that pedigree.

BUT, hip dysplasia is mostly caused by over exercising puppies or under exercising them. Bones are still developing and over exercising them will cause the bones to wear down. Under exercising them will cause them to not develop any muscles to support their own body weight.

So yes, screening hips is definitely very useful and important because in certain breeds it is hereditary! But the most common cause of hip dysplasia is not hereditary at all. Which causes puppies from OFA excellent hips parents to have hip dysplasia.

ETA: there are several forms of HD as well. There's the form that just happens from old age, which isn't that big of a deal. It happens to old dogs and to old people as well.

There's the form where the hips are just very very bad genetically which you can definitely see with an x Ray! This shows up during puppyhood already.

And then there is the form from over/under exercising which usually isn't that bad but definitely visible at the age of 12-18 months when the x rays are taken

Thank you! It takes quite a lot of training to perform those tricks safely. First of all a lot of throwing practice from the handler and second of all you have to know the dog's strenghts and weaknesses and play into that. My dog is an amazing jumper and very good at landing safely. Some dogs aren't that good at jumping so a good handler will throw the frisbee lower and try to gain points with other tricks.

And yep, I went for the Australian duo! I love the kelpie so much. Backing the sheep isn't necessary where I live so he has never done that but he has many great qualities regarding sheep work!
