breeding

[djmurdock]

i was looking on the usrc site and it said can not breed dogs with bad hips. i was think it was a standed thing to only beed dog with good hips. are there show people breeding dog with bad hips and bad bits? how many years back did they start xraying hips on rottweilers

I know someone who has a Champion dog with a level bite and failed OFA. She said, "oh you can use him as a stud, HD is not in my lines" I asked her then why did he not pass. She told me he 'slipped as a young dog and injured himself" I don't buy it. she also explained his bite went off because he opens the door with his teeth.

Again, it comes down to you doing your research for your puppy.

Buying a puppy based on what 'hot' right now, well, that is stupid for anything, especially a living breathing thing.

If you are finding breeders who are unethical, chances are, it is no secret. Keep looking, researching, and you will find something.

Not every member of a COE club is going to adhere to the rules, we all know that. BUT, there are going to be plenty that do.

I think genetics play a big role, but I think there are other important factors also (proper exercise and food), and they will play a part in how bone structure develops.

Trina, used to be quite common,it's on the inside of the lip, It's not done with a needle, actually a very quick procedure.The USRC requires a tattoo or chip for identification, which is a good idea for any dog. By the way people what are the current USRC regs. for tattoo or chip placement?

Hi linedog, here we microchip. Although now that i think on it, when a bitch was spayed she'd get a tattoo in here ear (obviously while she was asleep).

thanks for the clarification!

Linedog, a dog would not be disqualified for a number tatooed in its mouth (and I have not heard of this; identifying tatooes are generally in the ear or inside the thigh). The tatoo referred to would be all over the mouth to conceal a light pigment.

I don't beileve they are speaking of a tattood number but darkening a dog's pigmentation by tattooing. I have heard that some people have done this to dogs with pink mouth pigmentation
