I know it is crazy to selectively, deliberately breed a dog that can't naturally give birth because breeders made its hips too small (though they can survive into adulthood just fine). I think for all the crazy irresponsible breeders out there, there are also ones trying to fix such problems.

What makes me (I think rationally) angry is the minority of vets who refuse to work on bulldogs because of this issue. What if your adult bulldog gets sick & needs some non-breeding-related veterinary care? Why should it then be turned away? OTOH I heard about this phenomenon from my mom-in-law so it probably isn't even real? I'll say that hypothetically, this upsets me.

My current dog is a mutt from a rescue shelter and she is the most mentally ill little fucker I have ever befriended & she also gets sick all the time, poor lil puppy.

They can survive into adulthood but not if they get pregnant and don't have an owner who wants to pay a big vet bill! I mean that's just madness, for that quality to be typical of the breed.

I only found out about the c-section thing on F bulldogs a couple months ago btw. It's pretty fucked up. I wouldn't buy one but I'd rescue on if I could find one that needed a home.

That's the thing with purebreds, people don't want to spay or neuter them because they feel their pet is more valuable or different.

Spay and neuter your pets!

It's true of English bulldogs too iirc.

I'll be getting a small black (female) poodle when it is DOG TIME. Not interested in other breeds. There are rescues, but if a young one isn't available I'm probably going to check out the breeder where my neighbours got their dog.

And that breed that's known for the chance that their brains will outgrow their skulls, eventually causing them unbearable agony and killing them? Cavalier King Charles spaniels??? Now I'm worried about Rudy. :(

Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Friday, 13 May 2011 17:57 (fifteen years ago)

See I think that's more alarming than artificial insemination but I would never say, "everyone stop, stop right now the making and the buying of the Cavalier King Charles spaniels."

Col. Pinkney Lugenbeel (Abbbottt), Friday, 13 May 2011 17:59 (fifteen years ago)

Rudy came from a reputable and recommended breeder -- I did my homework. She does health testing on all of her puppies for all kinds of problems, and is selective about who she sells her puppies to. I have had a lot of experience with rescue dogs and their many psychological problems; I have to say that Rudy is the happiest, most well-adjusted, healthiest little monkey I have ever had the pleasure of taking care of.

There must have been a time when all these in-danger/health issues breeds didn't have the problems that they're now known for, right? Time to start crossing in some other breeds to bring the hardiness back, possibly?

xp Hurrah!

Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Friday, 13 May 2011 18:05 (fifteen years ago)

Anyway, yeah, it's ia because first of all no one asked me, and second, of course no one's going to say "stop buying and/or breeding dog breed X" because no matter how difficult or dangerous the conditions, people somewhere love that partic breed and are gonna do it. But I might still get all butthurt about it because gross.

My sister has two lovely CKCs and I can safely say neither Max nor Barney are in much danger of filling their crania with extra brains.

However, she did get them two-for-one ("What do you expect? They were on clearance...") from a breeder she deeply suspects of being a puppy miller (southern Minnesota has a problem with this). The vet checked them over and my sister has been very fortunate, no weird congenital problems.

Last week of rehearsals. For about the last month two of our actors can't get here prior to 7:30, known in advance.

Instead of bumping back rehearsals to 7:30, they still insist on having them at 7 and we sit doing nothing for a half hour. THAT makes sense.

it's quite amazing that someone like brodie has caused a rift in the ILX continuum. I really want to know who the puppetmaster is, but I fear the reveal might lead a lot of us to faint.

the "e" in "l.a. noire." i'm sure there's a trademark issue behind why the e is there, but that's no excuse.

Noir (or noire) is the French word for black.

Double or multiple CD cases. They smash off before you have even got the cellophane wrapping off. You want to listen to your new CD but already you are fed up that the front cover has fallen off, the hinge is smashed and bits are falling out all over the place. Make them better, we pay enough

fine, i concede, but it still LOOKS wrong!

It's wrong in the sense that 'los angeles' is not feminine, so therefore should not be followed by 'noire'.

Film noir = correct
Bete noire = correct
LA Noire = incorrect (the only place where we can say gender confusion = incorrect LOL)

delivers maximum wtf per cubic second (suzy), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:31 (fifteen years ago)

LA NOIRE = correct
EL NOIR = incorrect

♥, (remy bean), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:41 (fifteen years ago)

also incomprehensible

♥, (remy bean), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 19:41 (fifteen years ago)

If LA means 'the', then correct. If it means Los Angeles, incorrect.
