Bullies are different. Their snouts are longer (like Mare's Boomer) rather than a smushed in flat-face. I wanted an English bulldog for the longest time up until I started working as a vet tech. Now I don't understand why them (or pugs) exist. Wastes.

Malamutes are unnecessary in size as far as a pet goes. Total hip replacements, bilateral cruciates, etc. Usually bigger dogs get cancer, bloat, or terrible orthopedic problems.
Isn't that just a massive generalization?
I mean sure Bulldogs are more prone to having these problems but you say it as if it's inevitable.
Same thing with big dogs and cancer.
All dogs get cancer. We have an oncology department with 4 oncologists and 6 technicians. :) Big dogs get osteosarcoma or hemangiosarcoma more often than smaller dogs. Bigger dogs also will get osteo/neuro disorders more than little dogs (DACHSUNDS ARE THE EXCEPTION!!!!!). Cats usually get lymphoma and stop eating.

And no, I'm not being generalizing. Brachiocephalic breeds ALWAYS have respiratory issues and are more prone to pneumonia, URI's, and kennel cough.

Personally, I'd prefer not to have a dog that died after 6-8 years. :)


Re: Puppy is getting big. - Autumn - 09-13-2009

Tonight after work, I will post photos of my babies; although they have already been pimped on here before.

I wish more people would adopt.


Hell,I wish i adopted.


I will never,never,never buy another dog from a pet store again.


Re: Puppy is getting big. - sTr - 09-15-2009

word, the only way ! would get a pet is by adoption...


Re: Puppy is getting big. - Toxic Love - 09-15-2009

Pet store puppies tend to be the sickest. I never understood how people actually go there and buy puppies. I just never understood it. Maybe it's because I see how sick they get? Or maybe it's because I'm against puppy mills.

This is my 6 year old German Short-haired Pointer/English Springer Spaniel mix, Meadow. In this picture, she was 6 weeks old. :)

This is her when she was 4 months old with her mom, Bo. Bo passed away this past April.

This is when Meadow was 2 years old. Bo is in the foreground. In the background is one of our old Springers, Tara. She passed away Oct. 2007.

This is Jake, our 13 year old German Short-haired Pointer. We adopted him when he was 4. He was locked in a bathroom covered in his own feces and urine. He was 20 pounds underweight and his nails were grown into his paw pads. He is Meadow's father. The story is... Bo and Jake were going to get altered the same week and 2 days prior to their appointments... yeah it happened.

These are our new pups back in April when they were 13 weeks old. They are tri-color English Springer Spaniels. We got them from a rescue. Jade is the female black/tan/white one. Jack is the male liver/tan/white one. Now they are almost 9 months old and getting big. I should get around to newer pictures...


Re: Puppy is getting big. - Paullehh - 09-15-2009

springers are awsome fun doggys.


Re: Puppy is getting big. - XxSweetBitchAssxX - 09-15-2009

Kells, I love Meadow, and I totally forgot how absolutely PRECIOUS she was a puppy. I love all your dogs, past and present. So damn cute.

Oh and that brindle pit is BEYOND cute. So so so sweet faced and fantastic coloring!!
