Bitch! I'm really uncomfortable with calling female dogs bitches. It just seems so inappropriate these days with the negative connotations that the word has taken on. I feel like the word for a female dog should be changed. Actually, scratch that. Maybe we just need to stop using the word inappropriately for women and reserve it for its original use. |
I know what you mean. I never swear at least not really bad words. I went to a kennel club meeting recently and I just don't know if I'm gonna be able to say the "B" word and I feel like a little kid but that's just the way I was brought up. ;) |
I wouldnt want to call my dog that , but there are some others I dont mind to call that, lol. |
I know......I am so used to hearing the inappropriate use of the word that when I am on here and see the posts by breeders I start to get uncomfortable. I think that is sad! :( |
Your absolutely right.I dislike the word as well simply for what society has done with it! :goodpost: :) :) :) |
I swear like a trucker at times but I call my "female dog" my girl. Alana |
I totally agree with you. |
I prefer dame and sire. I heard a story the other day that they are trying to have Santa say HA HA HA instead of HO HO HO! Ridiculous:rolleyes: |

It took awhile, but I finally got used to it. But that name will never apply to my first two girls!!! |

I strongly agree!! I won't even call mine a dog,let alone a Bitch. When my son says Lucy's just a dog,I tell him no she's not,she's my baby girl. I too thought someone was mad when I seen the thread. :confused: |
I think if it wasn't used so negatively socially, then it would be fine. Somehow though, the word has gotten warped into a disrespectful term. =/ I also thought someone was mad when I saw this title haha. PS - that Santa thing...I saw it a couple days ago....totally insane. |

same here tina |
My girls are my bitches and the dog fanciers know exactly what you are talking about. A bitch is not a "Dam" until she is a mother. A male dog is not a "sire" until he is a daddy. BTW, I don't go round saying come here "you bitch". They have names. But if I happen to have to call the vet, I tell him one of my bitches is sick. |

When i refer to my girls or other female dogs to other ppl i don't use that word, i say female or the girl. But in the privacy of my home when i am playing around with London i call her a bitch, it's kinda like a nickname for her but i say it playing around not seriously, ill say it like 'come here my little bitch' or hey bitch. That's because London actually acts like a bitch to the others lol, if you knew her you would know why, that's why the name has stuck sometimes but Sophie is sweet so i don't call her that. I call her sweetie or my sweet sophie. It all has to do with their personalities. It's a little weird hearing other ppl call female dogs bitches sometimes. |
I tell mine all the time she's being a bitch! The oldest yorkie that was always so sweet(since she has had the tumor removed), is a real bitch...If she starts picking on one of the 2 she tends to pick on, or showing her teeth, I say, "stop being a bitch", then she just rolls over(very submissive)like okay, now, give me a belly rub.. |
I call witchy women 'femme chiens' this means female dog in FRENCH! HAHA It was a joke with my friends back from like 8th grade! Kind of stuck! |

names There is no reason for a pet owner to use the term if it bothers them....unless a person breeds/shows it does not come up in the conversation... I think I use girl, female when relying to a pet owners post..but bitch in breeding/showing posts... |
I couldn't call my dog that either. It's just a personal preference. |
I don't actually call her a bitch, I tell her to stop being a bitch! She's really getting bad, and not even 5 yet! |
Maybe this is how language changes through the years, but IMO, I think it's a shame. Also, maybe we're thinking about it wrong. We should start using it more often the way it was originally meant to be used. You know, take the word back. Like 'gay'. Let's take the word back and start using it again per it's original meaning. You guys start and I'll be right behind you. :D |

The term used to bother me, but I occasionally use it in a joking manner. For example, I often refer to myself as one :cool: :p , so when Chloe is dressed up looking really pretty, I like to quote Austin Powers from the 2nd movie, "We are sexy bitches!" |
