Some more stonkers for you...

Hi
I am Max, my mum thinks its time I faced the responsibility of being a family guy. I am no pedigree, but everyone thinks I am quite handsome. I am fit and healthy and have passed all relevant Vet tests. My services are not free but what can only be best described as reasonable. I have asked Mum to attach a recent snapshot, so you can put a face to a name. Paws aren't much good as you humans insist on using keyboards where as us dogs have and will continue to use our various barks and woofs to let you know what's going on.
Please call my Mum if you would like any more info about me.
Thanks
Max

Wow! My dog has a womb! I'm short a few bob! Let's all have puppies!
Wheeeee!

I love that last one I posted. I want a cheap/free dog but here are the list of specifics so I can sell it on for top whack.
 
Many, many apologies to the person I offended and reported me to admin for the words I used to describe a dog's boy bits.

Personally I find indiscriminate, random breeding and studding of any old pet dog without any real health testing - for profit - while rescues are bursting and dogs are being abandoned and given away every day, much more offensive than a word relating to a rooster and a word relating to spherical objects used in many popular sports but hey, each to their own....

I must stop looking on this bloody site, I just get more and more upset.
 
A girl I used to go to school with used Facebook to advertise her two Staffies (one of which is only about 7 months old, she bought it November-ish) I thought she must have run into problems with money or accomodation and had no other choice... Nope :( She just wanted to get an EBT puppy, clearly her Staffies were no longer fashionable enough :mad:

What a bloody numpty. :mad: :confused: I do wonder where dog fashion is going next, we've had the rottie, GSD, staffy, labradoodle and 'handbag' crossbreeds crazes, what's going to be filling the shelters this year?

I was watching a night cops type program last night and one of the dog handlers had a GSD x Sarlooswolfhond - coincidentally I was asked this morning if Dax was 'one of them Dutch wolf dogs' by a nice old chap, and given the amount of huskies advertised at the moment I'm dreading that it'll be 'wolfy' dogs next.

I emailed the above advert to OH at work, his reply was along the lines of "if I come home and find another dog I'm moving out." :o
 
I saw that and was going to post last night BC!
To be honest I thought the narrator was overdoing it a bit, there are Sarloos in the UK but hopefully they will remain a niche breed - the police force probably did the cross breeding themselves in their own kennel.
TBH I thought he looked like a normal working line GSD from Czech/East German/Dutch or Belgian lines, wouldn't have noticed the cross unless it was pointed out but they say some Eastern European working lines have mixing and outcrosses here and there and some of the hardline working people in Germany want to include Malinois blood for a generation, officially and above board.
Never seen a Sarloos work so can't comment on what they can add to the breeding scheme/working lines!

A lot of forces are experimenting with Malinois, Dutch Shepherds etc. I would worry more about those breeds, from high-drive lines, going into inexperienced pet homes. They are *intense* from a very young age.
 
I think their legal status in the UK is still a bit uncertain - I'm reading through a DEFRA article now and it sounds like all hybrids (even those of established breeds like the Sarloos) must be licensed in the UK?

Interestingly enough when we were still under the belief that Dax was a British Inuit I found that many insurance companies excluded them along with the Sarloos, Czechsolvakian wolf-dog etc. in the belief that they were hybrids. :confused:

To me he looked the spit of a Malinois anyway, longer and less broad in the head than a GSD and more 'upright' in the back end if you get me. It was only the slightly brindle-y greyish colouring around the neck that made me look twice really. You'd know a lot more than me about the working aspect but I can't imagine the wolf adds anything to protection work, wolves tend to run away! :p

FWIW the dog handlers in Afghanistan use Malinois almost exclusively; I've no idea why they use those over any other breed but my dad has seen first hand those dogs save lives on the battlefield and has some amazing (if slightly gory :eek:) stories to tell about them. Given their penchant for biting the noses off insurgents I can't imagine they make suitable pets!
 
It's because the Malinois are HARD. Hard hard hard.
Google 'French Ring' and look at some of the videos!!!
I only know a few and they are all in service but unlike the sheps, we cannot go anywhere near the backs of the cars when they are inside.

The Sarloos are not KC registered but there are a few kennels in the UK, one of which claims you don't need a license to own wolf hybrids.
TBH I think the lines are so diluted now there is very little wolf left in them to be any sort of worry.

No, to me, that dog the other night looked just like any other sable working line GSD (the colour they started out as!), the Malinois are rarely grey :p some of the working lines are much shorter, leaner and some of the males have weak heads (not in terms of physical strength, but in terms of telling them apart from a bitch)

I don't get what a wolf would bring to the table personally - it's not about looking fierce or acting fierce, if the dog hasn't got the brains or the lines or acts too independently then it will be very hard to train.

(Wow, we really can take a thread off the rails!!!)
 
I will get him to take some pics next time he's out there, they are indeed proper hard dogs. They live in the lap of luxury out there too, better than the blokes get, air-conditioned kennels and chilled pools to cool off in.

I have living proof that a dog with many wolf-like behaviours is bloody impossible to train. :p

Meh, it's lead to some interesting discussion. :)
 
I was so interested to watch that BBC2 programme on understanding dogs, where they brought up a wolf cub and a lab pup under similar environments.

After x amount of time the wolf cub just started wanting to do his own thing, he was untrainable, unpredicatble and just .. well.. wild! The lab pup on contrast was a model young citizen.

So I echo CC on asking - what does breeding the wolf into domestic dogs, actually bring POSITIVELY to the breed, apart from looks?
 
Unfortunately huskies/malamutes/inuits etc became a fashion accessory in 2006
Both breed clubs are now so inundated with people wanting to rehome their dogs that they have had to state only KC registered dogs can now be helped by them.
Friends set up the Siberian Husky Welfare Assosiation in Febuary 2007 and since then have rehomed well over 500 non KC/KC registered siberian huskies
Some though still make it onto these websites and I really try not to read them as it gets upsetting
 
Kitty I remember reading a book years and years ago about a man who experimented with all sorts of hybrids, dingos, hyenas etc for study and he said by far the worst dog in the kennel, the one you could not turn your back on, was the wolfxGSD because it had the wolf strength/wildness and the GSD brain.

There are a myriad of breeds being set up on the basis of the GSD and husky breeds and I just don't get it (we're not about to run out of either, as Cyrus has just demonstrated), even less the introduction of wolf hybrids. At least a lot of the better kennels seem to be keen on hip/elbow scoring.
 
A little bit of a tangent but I absolutely love hyenas!!

No thanks, have you seen the jaws on them! :eek:

I dunno, a little part of me thinks that the GSD x husky types have a use - an active, working sled dog with less independence allowing them to be exercised off-lead and do basic obedience, making them a better all-round 'pet' as opposed to a pure working dog - buuuut as you say there's plenty of both breeds out there already in the wrong hands without introducing more troubled crossbreeds.

People just don't really appreciate what they're getting into with these types of dogs, hybrids or not; even I must admit to being overwhelmed initially by the immense amount of exercise, discipline and training madam requires. They're really not a family pet in any sense of the term. I, however, am mad as a hatter and have never been so physically fit in all my life, so I wouldn't be without her. :D

Aah but there is no guarantee the GSD x Husky would get the bits you want from each breed, that is the whole problem of hybrids/designer breeds. You could get the huskys independence etc and the GSDs brain used against you;)

It'd be a disaster - it'd run away very fast, taking your family silver with it! :D
 
Well I can't speak for any of the harness people but I have yet to see a GSDxhusky competing or indeed training in obedience, tracking or protection work so I can't see a positive for our side of the bargain :p

Oi, I posted definitive proof of husky obedience on the previous page! :p :D

Admittedly, tracking? Protection work? Extended periods of obedience in a competitive setting? Point taken. :p

They've added a photo to that advert I posted above... aaaaaargh.
