Zmeli... Please Respond !!!! - Page 4

Oh so you did do the brucelosis ???

No echo she didnt, because she told me she knows now she will never do that again, she learned her lesson somewhere on the other thread, because I told her about my one time not getting it and the dog was positive from Texas A & M and she responded .

Guess you have a bad memory, I was not talking about making a mistake on brucellosis.

Zmeli: I went back and read the post Jan3 2007 -4:01 I hope shes not preg etc.and did u get a brucel ,,,,,your reply: Jan 3 2007 -4:01..we made a lot of mistakes, my husbands father just passed.....havent done any breeding in 3 years, I guess...we expected .....next reply Jan 3 2007 04:01 about his doing the right thing.....I guess one of the mistakes was no brucellosis because that was ur reply to me,,,,we made a lot of mistakes......dont fret all of us have......thats why I shared mine with u...

Zmeli if the test WAS done why don't you post the document from the vet on the web and shut everyone up. I could care less its your business this is just getting rediculous.

Zmeli is having too much fun punching buttons at this point. 15 minutes of fame and all that stuff.

Echo, I have some information about OFA and the hips being lax after having puppies. I don't want any flaming so don't bother. You can't be a teacher/mentor if you just pass judgement and condemn new people. You will by far improve the breed by taking these new kids under your wing and help them learn! I was new at breeding and had to learn also. I just didn't share my ignorance with anyone else. So here goes! I imported my first dog. She was Yena-Akbar you can see her in the pedigree database. And as you can see, if you look at her pedigree she is riddeled with dogs that have a tendancy to throw bad hips! She accidentally got bred on her FIRST heat cycle at the age of 7 months!!!! I now know how the mother of a 14 year old girl feels when her daughter comes home and tells her mom that she is pregnant! I was SICK! I waited till Yena was around 5 years old to OFA her. She had many strikes against her.....poor genetics(for hips), being bred at 7 months, and age! Ya know what, she OFAed Good! You can go there to OFA and see too! So that stating I do not believe that they go lax for ever after having puppies. Yena didn't! If that were indeed true then that would be a problem that we would talk about more and a bitch's working career would be OVER after the first litter and I know several people that get the SchH1 and have a litter and then go on to get the other titles. Just for all to know, I now do OFA on all my kiddo's before they are bred but I did have to learn too! Vickie

Vickie, That's excellent information Thank You for sharing !! Like I said before the information I have regarding Lax hips to underage females whelping is simply what I have been told by others. And yes I passed it along, I had felt it was fair information to share. Maybe on some the effects are more profound while on others not so much. Who knows ? I think that some of the members are looking into it with OFA though. But again Thanks for sharing. I still absolutely beleive brucelosis should be done before breeding but that's just my opinion I guess.
