danelover:You paid 600.00 for a mixed dog? (then comes pitbull princess to kiss up) DANELOVER, I will have to agree with you thereI am sorry,but there is no way I would pay $600 for a mix..I am not saying mixes are bad,but come on..I feel if it is not pure bred then it needs to be free.I think the lady that payed $600 got ripped off.its not even a purebreed. (now it's goobs turn in the battle of the butt kissing) Shi-poos" are mutts, or crossbreeds, or mixed breeds, whatever you want to call them, they're NOT a breed. (i said) aren't the pups at the pet shop are in need of a home just as much as the pups at the pound? (and rottymommy says) About pet shop dogs the answer to your question is no. I never said that all petstore pups come from puppy mills but most do. I did not say that noone should get a dog from a petstore. (rottymommy again) I wish people would stop being so ignorant about pet store puppies. They come from puppy mills . (yet again another butt kiss) jas said: Keep educating it does help and ignore those who are too ignorant to see past their own posts as they are too busy trolling & name calling to understand everythings not solely about them -- usually this happens when they dont hear what they want to hear. Suffice to say some people just never get it! Usually because they do not spend the time reading other posts properly, instead they act irrational and respond so. Its funny how they manage to twist things about and make accusations about us when really they are the accusers! I have only seen tactful, informative & helpful posts from the above people. These people should be thanked for their time and effort (Thanks ) if it weren't for people like yourselves then many people would still be uninformed. NO one, I repeat NO one has put down anyone else's pet. If certain people feel bad about where they have gotten their dog from, then it is something to learn from for next time -- there are legitimate reasons so many people like the above are saying what we do---we're not concocting lies out of thin air---honestly! More people walk away learning something than not and that is what's important.p.s. GREAT post earlier Rotty. Well put!!! hey jas who were you talking to really?lol (let's hop on the high horse shall we?) rottymommy: rottymommy: (you are one very confused woman.please make up your mind) [This message has been edited by iluvmypup (edited 06-07-2003).] IP: Logged |

excuse me iluv??? Grow up. enough is enough, you have been nothing but rude and insultive to anyone who does not share your view. Well too bad get over yourself. in all the quotes you've taken I have yet to read anything offending or rude, simply opposing opinions to yours and guess what that is allowed!!!! your posts on the other hand are not only incorrect but slanderous and extremely rude. do you take pleasure into getting people worked up? its evident you are nothing more than a troll just trying to cause trouble.

Ok so maybe I get a little heated up at times and say thing that get misinterpreted. Bottomline - here it goes There are many people out there that dont know that MOST petstores get there dogs from puppy mills. It is fine if you get your dogs from a petstore taht sells dogs responsibly otherwise no I dont think you shoud buy from a petstore. IP: Logged |

I don't think rottymommmy was trying to "attack" or "offend" I also think that iluvmypup's posts are reasonable and I don't blame her for taking up for herself and her dogs. There ARE bashers not "rottymommy" but others that need to control what they type, because it is obviously just to get things started. I think there is alot of "misunderstanding" because you really don't know the tone of the voice when they(people) type things, and thats how things get started. Thats what I gots to say.

i'm sure that if everyone can keep the remarks (which i put in my last post) to themselves we could all get along i understand what your saying about puppy mills rottymommy and i do agree that they need to be shut down.but the fact of the matter is people buy from pet shops .and i'm not telling them it's ok to do that.i'm just stating the fact that shihpoo's and their price tag allways gets attacked here. yeah $600 is alot for a mixed breed but people are willing to spend that amount because shihpoo's are good dogs all the things you have heard from shihpoo owners are true.i allways thought there's no such thing as a non shedding dog untill i got mine.i've had many dogs (and yes all the others came from the shelter)but he's the best one yet.i never knew dogs could be so loving.and like my spouse said very well behaved.i also agree that breeders should not mix because their are enough animals in this world that don't have a home.(if you ask me breeders shouldn't breed at all untill every dog has a home)but the thing is argueing that issue here isn't gonna change that.just like argueing about puppy mills and pet shops here isn't gonna change that either.i think we all (including myself)need to stop attacking eachother and give help to the people that come here for it regardless of how much thay spent on their dog or regardless of the breed. i have many opinions about other breeds but i'm not gonna come on here and say you spent that much on that kind of dog?and no jas i don't enjoy fighting with others.but i also don't like seeing every person here that paid x amount for a shihpoo being offended by someone asking why they paid that much and that they got ripped off.that's some people's opinion yes but some things are better left unsaid.what kind of dog do you have?would you like it if someone asked you why you paid x amount for that dog?would you like to be told your dog wasn't worth spending that much on?you would be offended right?in my opinion every pet should have a low price tag that way more animals would have a home.but there's nothing i can do to change that .and like i said breeders should not mix but they do.and if they had not i wouldn't have my little angel.and i wouldn't trade him for anything.i'm not saying shihpoo's are the greatest dogs in the world but their not the worst either.and it's not the shihpoo's fault that they are here it's on the breeders who bred them.so why don't we not put down the price tag.instead put down the breeders that mix. but not when some innocent person comes here for advice.if you feel so strongly about byb or pet shops why not make a separate post about it instead of waiting untill someone says they spent $600 on their shihpoo.that way you can say whatever you like about it and nobody will feel that it directed towards their dog.you have a right to your own opinions as does everyone else here but some things are said at the wrong times and seem offensive to others.

Iluvmypup I think we just found a mutual ground.LOL Totally agree with your post however I would appreciate it if your spouse deleted his post about pitbulls. I did take offense to it and just a forewarning it could lead to a war in here if some others saw it. I told you my opinion on it and that is all I have to say on it but it was offensive and I just wanted to warn you. IP: Logged |

its amazing that this very same argument goes on so frequently on this message board. often its not even the mention of the price that starts it, it can be a simple post on someone looking for a poo cross mix or asking about their personality, etc. and if they unwittingly refer to them as a "breed" then its an all out war. you know its true, anyone that has been monitoring this board for any length of time has seen it 100 times. i'm happy to see so many poo cross lovers out there and see them sticking up for their choice of pets. the puppymill/puppy store issue has been beat to death. we all agree that we don't like them. but because these little dogs are difficult to find and highly sought after thats what drives up the price and unfortunately keeps them going. i don't know the answer guys. but i do know that i don't regret one bit the price i paid for my malti-poo. she had a sister and if i'd had the money i'd have taken them both. and i don't see the need for a certain group of people to come in on a post about poo crosses on the pretext of "education". they claim to not be putting someone down for owning one yet the post is so severe that it certainly feels as if they are putting them down. ask me, i've been there. the administrator added a seperate message board for pitbulls. maybe we can put forth a request for a seperate board for poo crosses or maybe just small dogs in general to be added. that way the people that own them and love them won't be subject to the unasked for opinions of those that don't own them or love them and then those people won't be offended about where they got their pet or how much was paid. i think that would be fair.

Sheesh, agree with people on one thing (and this is about the only thing I agree with a lot of people about on this board), and I'm engaged in "the battle of the butt kissing". Not to get off-topic, but first... quote: Well, spouse of's got part of it right (people who train dogs to attack SHOULD be in prison)... but the BYB who gave the owner the dog should be in the cell with them  Of course, in his/her media induced paranoia, they've also misspelled the name of the breed they're trying to insult.... doesn't exactly come off as knowledgeable.
quote: Not sure where you get the idea that everyone who disagrees with you owns purebred dogs, or that they've paid a lot of money for them, but you're wrong.
quote: Sure, but those dogs were mixed to meet a need, to fullfill a purpose... the only purpose breeders have for breeding high priced "designer breeds" is to line their pockets a little thicker.
quote: If people will dump their dogs off at the shelter just because they didn't like a few comments on an internet message board, then maybe they shouldn't have gotten the dog in the first place. And if it made them "unwanted" as in less people buying them... leading to less people breeding them and less being dumped off at shelters, then all the better. IP: Logged |

See Goob, just as I stated a troll! Someone with nothing better to do with ALL their free time than cause trouble. anyone seriously considering buying a dog from an unreputable breeder or pet store can read this topic and come away with 2 things: 1)Reasonable valid points with meaningful responses from caring dog fanciers who have taken the time to explain well known issues. 2)Immature gibberish with rude and uneducated replies showing a lack of respect because they obviously haven't bothered properly reading what they are responding to, therefore have no valid points in return so instead completely disregard anything said. A continuance of further snide comments or harping on one point instead of looking at the big picture and citing valid reasoning or stating why they feel the other is inaccurate - then resort to name calling! goes to show they blurt things out in defense of their own personal choice/mistakes and try to justify their errors rather than making an educated response. irrational responses only make one look uninformed in front of future viewers!
