A little irritated...small BYB rant

This is where to talk about Pit Bulls!

Postby juniper8204 » March 16th, 2009, 11:49 am

Almost a year ago, I adopted an unwanted APBT puppy that I named Oona. Well, the lady who I adopted her from gave my name and contact info to a friend because her friend has an unwanted pit bull...and get this...her friend cant' keep the dog because she's spayed and "what's the point of me keeping a dog that I can't get my money's worth out of, ya know?" WTF???? I can't believe people actually admit this $hit!

From the pics I've seen she's beautiful...buckskin with a red nose and a little underweight. Apparently this dog was a rescue from a neighbor...not sure why she was "rescued". But what killed me was the pics of her other dogs. She has a potentially pretty chocolate bitch and the pic was of her after she whelped a litter of at least 8, and the poor dam was covered in mange...had the whole bald wrinkly eyes and the bumpy fur...made my heart ache.

I'm so fed up with BYB's. Why breed a dog who's unhealthy???? :mad2: Moreso, why breed a dog not up to/exceeding breed standard???

Well, I told the lady that I'd give her a try. I have three dogs of my own at the moment. If for some reason she doesn't get along with my three after giving it a while, I'll probably foster her out and find her an excellent home with her as the only dog.

I'll let y'all know if I end up getting her. And of course I'll add pics!

Worrying about things like health and breed standards cut into the profit margin. Nice that she's probably passing that tendency toward Demodectic Mange on to yet another generation of pups. Hooray!

Disgusting.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

Well, she added some pics of her other dogs boasting how pretty they are...I feel so bad for them; there's one who's all skin and bones...I guess some people believe that pits are supposed to be boney (lean and mean sort of thinking) not knowing there's a difference between toned/athletic and emaciated. I may be going to get my pittie girl tonight after this lady gets off work at 11...and it's a half hour drive too...not looking forward to the drive, but looking forward to getting this girl out of her living hell.

Club her and take the rest. I didn't see a thing. :|
