Your dog is gonna suffer from severe joint problems etc....

Well done lets all take advice from you

this him??

yup.

i was goni state that but with him being a 'breeder' i thought he's probably come back with tonnes of shit.

but tbh - the minute he said it was ok to serve a dog scraps from your plate i knew he was a lunatic!

if you are goni feed scraps - which you shouldnt as most human food is either processed with artificial shite in it that dogs cant digest-or may have cooked bones in with the meat - you put it away and never feed staright after you eat.

can see around that being fair enough as they seem to be bulky dogs.

as for the pic, the owner should be force fed and made to suffer like that poor thing

Thanks! i think shes absolutley stunning but im biased!

when you walk in (if she knows you) she will wait behind the glass door and wag her whole bum (not just her tail lol) and then she jumps up really gentle and hooks her legs over your arm so she can give you kisses and you can cuddle her.

then she brings you a ball, drops it on your leg, steps bak, and does tha really cute head tilting thing.

shes amazing

she's got lab in her.

but prominiant great dane, shes great dane size for her age. just a bit softer in the features.

i think shes a really nice example of a cross breed!

I've got a Rottwieler-Akita cross.

He's pretty stubborn at times, But he's obedient for the majority. He's also a big bastard, not obese..but he tends to think he's a lap dog..which isn't nice when he stands on your gooch.
..He's Called "Bear".

wow i bet he could do a lot of damage with that mix lol.
i like the name, very suiting

jw1325 · 31st March 2011, 16:07

i love the name bear!!!

rey · 31st March 2011, 16:12

I can't wait to get my next puppy, long haired German Shepherd number 2!

GrantW · 31st March 2011, 18:02

That Akita cross is lovely, we used to have a rottweiler alsation cross at work, was fucking huge and a damn good guard dog. Once it knew you it was soft as shite but a fair few delivery guys got bitten, but it was their own fault like waving the delivery line in the dogs face, never mind the dog I'd bite you if you done that to me lol!

Really want a Doberman though, always loved them but can't persuade the mrs to have one cause she's shit scared of them. Tried telling her that they only have a bad name because of bad trainers, you train it properly and its just as safe as any other dog.

RAW/BARF diets are much better, eggs raw and scrambled and sardines once or twice a week are perfectly fine as a supplement to raw meat. My youngest pup has only ever had RAW and is not overweight in any way and is in perfect health, my oldest dog whom is 2 has been eating RAW since he was about 6 months old and is extremely fit and has the cleanest teeth my vets have ever seen.

There are pro's and cons with RAW, like having lots of raw meat in the fridge and freezer etc but its much better, smaller stools as they dont have much waste (most dry mix is made up of cereals to bulk it up which is what dogs dont digest and they pass it through) Also chicken wings give the dog something to get its teeth into which keeps there teeth clean and prevents gum disease, dogs teeth and body wasnt designed to eat dry biscuits. They were designed to eat meat and vegetables. So given them carrots and other veg will keep them healthy!

Im not saying dry is bad for dogs there are plenty of dogs that eat it and are healthy but its not what they were built to eat.

Also to who said about people standing on corners with staffs etc, theres nothing wrong with staffs! Its the owners, like all dog issues!!

I'd say get it dogs are such a great companion, I couldnt be without my dogs!

why will it be a bastard wen its grown up? bring them up right and they will behave right. my girlfreinds brother has a rotty thts nearly a year old now and i have a staffy that is the same age and they are both good as gold because we have brought them up right and not bashed them about like lil chavy twats do.

if the dogs a little shit its normally the owners fault not the dog

Lacey_106 · 31st March 2011, 19:07

awwwww..... We have a rott/lab cross. I fucking love him to pieces.
