Section 16.
Yeah, I can't imagine I'd be to afraid of a golden.
Hobbo, did you breed that yourself? It looks like it's way under 8 weeks which is the accepted age for removing a puppy from its mother.
Matty,
Hybrid Vigour in dogs is a myth.
This is what you need.
Hate to be the person who ever tried to hurt her
My wife absolutely adores her to death [ me too ]
Cheers,

Arabs havnt been around long enough for them to have aquired inherent traits and theres so many variants in them there probably never will be. And as for the ethical breeder thing. How many are out there ?? Not many in the grand scheme of things.
But at the same time, inherited, congenital problems in purebred are a reality - hip displaysia in Shepherds and Labs, deafness in Dalmatians, behavioural issues with Cocker Spaniels, spine problems with Dachsunds etc.
I have always owned purebreds, and spent a lot of time convincing my hubby to get a purebred Lab. She cost us over $1000 (as we had our heart set on a Chocolate!), we researched registered breeders, checked out hip scores of the bloodlines going back four generations; in short, we did everything we should have in responsibly choosing a dog.
At about 12 weeks, we discovered that she has megaoesophagus, a congenital condition that is hereditary in some breed types, but apparently not Labs (three from eight puppies in her litter had the condition; two were euthanased - can't tell me there isn't some genetic problem there) We have spent thousands etting her peoperly diagnosed, unfortunately the condition is manageable but untreatable and we have to put up with periods of almost constant regurgitation. At 3, she is also showing signs of arthritis. She is the most beautiful, loving dog (see pic earlier in this thread) and is totally trustworthy with our 3yo daughter, but has been a nightmare in terms of caring for her.
In hindsight, I would definitely get a pound rescue dog, crossbreed or otherwise - even if the pound dog had a few medical problems, I would have an extra $1000 from the purchase price to spend on it!!!
Opinions on dogs , was the post. Thats my opinion ! Arabs will have gone to **** in 200 years as well. Mungrels have got to be the way to go. Ive owned over 70 dogs in 38 years and have only had one problem in regards to the animals body in that time. A little female Kelpie x i owned had a hole in here diaphram.It is a FACT that purebred / pedagree muts get problems. Not all of them just some and the good old x breed just keeps going and going. You only gotta take a trip around some of the Aboriginal missions up here to see the hardness and resilliance ? of the " mungrel " :lol: Theres nothing wrong with purebreeds , its just that the owner of the post was after ssome opinions and i gave mine. Cheers all Matt
