how would you spell it? i only spell it like this as its how i found it in a book i have!..would be glad of a correction please???.
thank you for the breeding lectures aswell everyone,i have 5 dogs in total myself and this will be no.6..i am not a breeder churning out pups left right and centre but the one litter of X-BRED collies i have had were all sold to friends,family and the odd well checked home..nearly all as working dogs as they were collie x/lurcher types......i will have him vet checked in all ways before even considering breeding with him aswell...but may i say this post was from me,a 28yr old women who's had an absolute crap 2010 who was just excited about her new puppy!!!!!!does everything have to get a negative comment these days????i am well aware of the rescue centres as the company i work for deals with council stray dog collections! i have 3 rescues myself! if i choose to breed from him it will only be one or two litters over the years and this is my choice in life.

thank you for all the names everyone but i dont think i'll bother with the dog section of the forum anymore...it seems you mention the word puppy and all hell brakes loose!sad really as this WAS the best thing to happen in my life for a while and i just wanted to share it...

Well said & well done for standing up for yourself! I liked this forum as it was nice to see people sharing knowledge & experience and giving advice WHEN ASKED FOR IT. Unfortunately in all walks of life there are those who see themselves as experts. There are also many 'pure bred' dogs in rescue centres, and all. breeds are the result of crossing. In some breeds the selective breeding has gone so far as to create some deformed freaks of nature. So I am all for adding a bit of something else to the mix. Are breeders of pure breeds worried that people might go get a nice cross or, GOD FORBID, mongrel and do them out of the hundreds of pounds they would get for their pups.
Enjoy your new puppy, hope you have a long & happy partnership & he makes 2011 a better year for you.

Fine, I shan't bother again then. You can just make your own mistakes and I'll keep my 50 years of dog breeding, handling, teaching, and judging experience to myself.(and that includes a litter of cocker/labs incidentally) Peace and love
