    Improving the health of the bulldog

    I think we should cross the bulldog to the working pointer as it is robust and healthy, with many individuals going 15 years. In fact I know of one who died last month, a son of the great Wingfield Banner, who died just short of his 17th birthday. This dog was still doing light duties in the shooting season up until last year.

    Just busting your balls Tussock. Have a good Friday everyone

    Regardless of how shallow the water is, he's still well out of his depth on this topic!!

    Actually it may as well be a longline, with the amount of trolling I'm doing this morning!

    As for special temperaments, why did you lock the conversation? A whole lot of projection going on there.

    You are the one quoting a 3000 year dynasty of your dog and then when the water got pass your ankles you reached for the lifeline and shut the conversation down mate.......next you will be saying Santa Claus in a myth.

    The best thing you can do for british bulldogs would be to ban vets assisting in fertilization and birthing. Should wipe out 99% of them in 10yrs

    Absolutely. Some folk would find applying such selection 'ruthless' however

    Thats 80%, not 80.354%
    89.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
    39.35% of people know that

    Too many breeds have been fucked by the interpretation of the "breed standard" by puppy farmers. All in the interest of making money from selling "their" breed. I have seen it with the Alaskan Malamute, one of the most primitive breeds. Frigging yanks breeding them smaller so they can sell them to ego-tripping apartment-dwellers, and here, even bigger wankers breeding pitbulls to be "mean." I concur with just about everything you have said on the subject, Tussock, for what it's worth.

    So after all these pages of your emotion filled tirades, completely devoid of fact or reason, you still didn't answer the question Tussock. How do you think we arrived at all these diverse types in horticulture and agriculture? Do you think it all happened by accident? What tools did we use to create these breeds?

    Not averse to banning AI for dogs that cant naturally mate. Havent AI'd for a while to be honest but some breeds like bulldogs and staffies have high rates of dumb regarding ability to breed. Might be nature giving us a signal.
