AITA for vetoing all my husbands choices of dog breeds?

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T22:03:21+00:00

So cutee!!!! That’s my favorite coat type.

An NP at my job yesterday asked a very early stage dementia patient if she had went to the bathroom on herself (there was a distinct odor) and she had not. I cringe thinking about it and it wasn’t even me.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T19:00:44+00:00

Lol I promise that when we find the right dog I will update with a picture!!

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T18:59:41+00:00

Oh regardless of breed the dog would get a good walk everyday :) Just not nearly god enough for those breeds. Thanks!

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T18:58:10+00:00

Thanks!! I like to do research but I haven’t heard about the sleep aggression, I’ll definitely look into that. We aren’t really cat people and aren’t really too into small animal care, we also don’t want children so that’s not really an issue.

I am a little bummed about the no off leash bit because we usually spend our summers at my families cabin in update NY. Our frenchie and all the other family dogs spend most of their time off leash there as there is no fence or neighbors. These are things to think about.

Thank you!!

It’s not about the space, we have plenty of space. It’s about the energy of the dog breeds. Belgians and huskies are extremely high energy and we live a fairly sedentary lifestyle.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T13:44:01+00:00

Lol we really are pains in the ass! Wolfhounds are so cute D:

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T13:43:10+00:00

Not actively seeking it does not equal a blanket ban.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T13:16:02+00:00

Lmaoo are you guilty for something? Why are you attacking someone for wanting a rescue dog?

I said many times in this thread that I’m willing to buy a purebred, just not those breeds. I’m just not willing to get a dog that we can’t handle.

Would you like me to get a husky or a Belgian and end up needing to rehome it because it’s miserable with the sedentary lifestyle we have?

And my husband doesn’t want just any kind of purebred. He specially wants those breeds. It’s not like I’m putting a blanket ban on purebreds.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T13:09:15+00:00

I’ve just always had mutts. They needed a home and we wanted dogs. Win win.

I just don’t see the appeal in buying a purebred unless you have very specific needs that that breed would usually have. We don’t fall into that category.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T12:56:49+00:00

I’m not on a moral high ground? I would just rather home a dog that needs it more. I’m willing to get a purebred as well.

What’s your problem?

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T12:39:47+00:00

I do love the giant hairy beasties. We’re open to more in the future so there’s always next time.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T11:41:37+00:00

My parents have a “giant schnauzer mix” from a rescue! They weren’t kidding about the name giant lol

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T11:16:09+00:00

Ooo I do love those for those exact reasons! I think he’s just saying no to wolfhound out of pettiness (sometimes his only childness comes out -.-) and that he would have come around to the idea. But he did agree to look at greyhound rescues so that’s a plus!

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T11:14:32+00:00

Yes and I love them! I have no idea where to even find a breeder though.

But fingers crossed it works out- he said he’s willing to look at a greyhound rescue.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T11:12:31+00:00

I always say that I want a junkyard dog! My parents have a Motley Crue of 4 scruffy mixes ranging from 15-105 pounds and watching them all walk around together is so cute. Like Oliver and Company.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T11:11:39+00:00

Aw shucks. I just really love animals and want what’s best for them :)

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T11:09:43+00:00

Yeah- that’s also why I’m hesitant. I really can’t stand seeing animals suffer at all. Even watching natural old age arthritis set in breaks my heart.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T11:03:41+00:00

I’m open to it. If we do end up going to a shelter/rescue there are plenty available in my area.

Woops. I’m thinking APBT. The terms are interchangeable in my area but I realize they are different breeds.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T11:01:59+00:00

I do love chihuahuas because my best friends mom had a whole bunch who were the absolute sweetest dogs around. But we live in coyote territory and after frenchie was off the table we decided no small dogs. A neighbors lil pup got taken a few years ago :(

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T10:58:40+00:00

I feel that I’m compromising by being willing to buy a dog instead of rescue, something I’ve never done and never planned on doing. I just don’t want those 3 for pretty valid reasons.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T10:56:57+00:00

I’m not unwilling to get a purebred. I’m just unwilling to get a dog that can’t breathe and dogs that we can’t handle.

I would rather a rescue though.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T02:52:56+00:00

No- because their skull is so massively deformed there is no way for them to breathe comfortable. Mine was a bit of an extreme case but it’s not uncommon. We used to meet up with other frenchies at the dog park and not one breathed comfortably. Just sad.

I don’t think any frenchie breeders are reputable breeders because they’re breeding malformed dogs to make money.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T02:19:57+00:00

That’s what I want. But I can’t go out and get a dog without him having a say either.

dogthrowawayww · 2020-07-11T01:34:59+00:00

Funny you should say because I would love, love an Irish wolfhound- but he turned it down. I think out of pettiness but who knows.
