OT-Why do people breed without titles? - Page 6

Rik, this is a thread about breeding humans, not dogs.....  got any kids?  If so, what did you do before you started breeding  to prove to the world that an offspring of yours would likely better the human race?  Win any marathons?  Win any Olympic gold?  Rescue a her of children from a burning building?  Or even get on the podium in a beauty contest?  Did you get any titles?  Mr. America?  Ms. America?  Ms. Dairy Queen?  How about getting on the cover of Forbes?  People?  Vogue?  If not, did you get yourself neutered to ensure you didn't pass on your genes?  LOL!

Hey Steve1, yes i am saying that you are not.i only say things that i know and belive.so no worries. have a nice one. and good luck .

I found this picture on google, who would breed THIS???????

I am quite sure that one didnt pass no temperment tests, looks like they bred the lines way too tight.......

i just wanted to share a story that recently happened, a friend of mine had a litter from his male and female, the male was an outstanding dog with excellent structure, intense fight drive, very good tempramnet. He told me both parents hips were fine. one of the puppeis was a beautiful dark sable , large bone, and beautiful personality. Another friend of mine purchased the puppy. He was extremely happy and everything went well for 4-5 months then he noticed the puppy was limping. He took the dog to the vet, who was an older gentleman and very experienced, at first glance he knew what it was. Upon xray of the hips the dysplasia was so bad the hips were not in the socket. the puppy had to be put down because of the pain with walking. the original breeder never had the xrays done on the parents. 
                   hip dysplasia is extremely common in large breed dogs and elbow dyplasia as well, the Fred lanting article on penn hips is excellent as well as the ofa database . You must study your pedigrees closely as well as the zw number before you breed two german shepards or it may lead to sorrow if you dont .         

Yup, and maybe get a white gsd from a breeder, 'cause I read that the chances of them getting HD are 4.9%, while the risk is 19% for colored GSDs... and if I read it on the innernets, it's gotta be true..... 

Ugh, Disgusting photo.

Sorry, LMD, I guess I was a little slow on this one. I produced 3 daughters, all of whom finished college and have done quite well. 

And I was voted best dressed and Home Coming Attendant for my senior class. Pretty spiffy, huh.
