dog breeding
« on: January 18, 2013, 05:06:46 pm »
overheard a conversation whilst having a swift half in the public house earlier, a young lady explaining to her friend how her father hasnt worked for years, instead he has 2 neopolitan mastif bitches and a dog, to produce litters of up to 15 each, selling (so she said) for between 700 and a 1000 each.

if this is accurate, thats one hell of an income. i thought of all that has been said about this on here and i can see that with returns like that its going to be fighting an uphill battle to stop puppy farming. scary stuff.

I don't even have the words right now, but I will later try to say why this is just so wrong.

 :rant: don't get me started!!  :rant: it shouldn't be a yearly income if the dogs were bred correctly instead of being used as machines!!!  :rant:

 :o  wrong on so many levels.

having said that, I dished out £150 for s-murphy who's a bitsa. Maybe in 4 months a puppy costs a lot with jabs? but I think not..

thing with people like that is they'll get greedier and bang out more and more litters each year. more often than not. poor dogs.

Thats just awful. :rant: :rant: :rant:   There are so many mastiffs in rescue, abandoned, in pounds being put to sleep because no-one claims them its just a massive problem.

Not sure how much those breeds go for but I wouldn't be at all surprised if those figures are correct.


Just look how much these first cross ..... fashionable things .... go for these days.  ???  I don't get it. IF you don't have a problem about doing it, which many don't, then it's a nice bit of pocket money isn't it?  >:(  And people do buy them  ::) ???
