I'm sorry I see nothing "disrespectful" or "offensive" about Bamafan's post either. I even had my husband read it and he couldn't see what could have made you so angry either. :confused: The only thing I could POSSIBLY see is that she used the term "mutt". I don't think she was being rude about it though. I call my babies "mutts" all the time. Sometimes I call them that lovingly, sometimes I call them that jokingly, and I've been known to call them that when I was ticked at them. Sorry, I'm not trying to upset you (or anyone else) even more, I just honestly don't see what was so wrong with what she said. |
a spade aspade- or a mutt a mutt! Bad breeding is much higher in purebreds! there is a way to say things with some grace! all the liver shunts, ect on here- pure- or mutts???? but I just think, that i know, this is not a friendly place for me and Banjo! He's my only kid- slam me- but not him! the main thing is the mutt is loved, and he is healthy! and what that lady said and how she said it is rude- plain and simple rude! my mutt is a lot cuter than some of the pricey ones i have seen! I am glad i have him, glad the breeder bred her chih and yorkie, and took such good care of him, and sold me such a cute, health,happy MUTT!, at such a reasonable price! and that lady was rude- no doubt about it- rude,rude, rude |

Yes, there is a lot of bad breeding among purbreds. But breeding mixes intentionally is always bad breeding. Breeding mixes, breeding purebreds that don't meet the standard, and breeding unhealthy dogs are all bad breeding practices. Why buy from an unreputable breeder? Instead, buy from a reputable breeder or rescue one. |

As for the term "mutt" I'm not going to apologize for that. (I actually find the term "mixed" to be more offensive, but I'm an adult, know that is not the way it's intended when used here and therefore make a big deal over it.) All my life I grew up thinking that any dog that wasn't purebred was a "mutt"--I've owned several "mutts" in my lifetime and loved each and everyone of them. A mutt is not any lesser dog than a pure bred, nor are all purebreds fault free and from better breeding--if anyone interpreted my posts as implying that, those are their words and feelings, not mine.:rolleyes: No sense in trying so hard to make something out of nothing.:) |
i can call him a mutt- the way she said it- was rude! anyone with some class could of phased it different! I am looking for a red poodle- this has made me not want a yorkie! or another mutt! good bye to all the real dog owners |

:thumbup: :thumbup: I agree with you Bama. I see nothing in your post or anyone elses that is rude or tacky. Sounds like someone is having a bad day or just wants to cause some controversy.:( |
