I'm going to assume it's me, since Erica has a) a corgi mix and b) a BC, and neither of them look anything like a lab, whereas mine does.
Midnight, the dog in my avatar and signature, is an
English Springer Spaniel mix. Like the dog in my link, they usually have some white on their chests - or the rest of their bodies, for that matter. His other half is actually a Heinz 57 - aka "MUTT." His dad could have some Pointer in him, or maybe some Labrador. We don't really know. In any case, I didn't buy him from a breeder. If you want to know more about his history and the breeds we suspect him to possibly contain in his genetic makeup, feel free to just ask.
I find it amusing you mentioned it in attempt to be non-confrontational.
I fail to see how it is relevant to the discussion when he is not a lab (or even if he was one) and I can't help his color but I can do something about his physical condition. The only way I see it being relevant is for you to get the desired response that, yes, my dog has white on him which is a fault for Labrador Retrievers, and then to bash my dog under the notion that I was bashing relatives of your dogs, OR to tell me that I am not allowed to comment on other peoples' dogs when mine has a fault. Am I correct? If not, could you please explain why my dog's coloring is relevant to the discussion?
I would like to know who else you are planning to bash and hurt?
I shall PM you the list.. I try to keep things organized.
Yes, I am joking.
Regardless of your opinion, which everyone has, not everyone wants to hear it!
That's part of what we do on forums, we share our opinions. It's a natural part of communication. If you don't want to hear my or anyone else's opinions that is what the "ignore" button is for. Otherwise, it is a given that you will be reading opinions from time to time.
This breeder is very reputable and loves each of his animals. If he has children you might as well attack them too! I'm new to this forum and feel very hurt by your comments of this dog and breeder as I own one of these beautiful dogs.
If by attacking and bashing you mean an
observation on her physical condition, which to me is an important part of choosing a breeder, then yes. And as a breeder I certainly HOPE he loves each of his animals - it would be a huge red flag if he didn't. I know in our culture the word "fat" is used as an insult.... but the
only way I ever use the term is as it is intended. I am sorry I offended you.
Just curious, but as you supposedly own one of his dogs and know this breeder well.... wouldn't you
know if he has children or not? Just wondering. (You might be on to something Charlie.)
