Whats the most popular dog breed on RDP?

[TPC]

English Bulldog - perfect boating dog, tie a rope around it and she doubles as an anchor. 70 pounds that can't swim for a shit and sinks like a brick.

Bulldog thinks he's a diesel engine:

[hulihan]

Pure Shepard, Murdock, he will be 2 next month, very protective and the smartest dog I have had !

 

[m3havasu]

French bulldog and an American bulldog

 

[ERiggen]

English bulldog and dachshund. Bulldog actually doesn't sink she swims. Too hot for her on the boat though.

I'm betting the good old fashioned "mutt" probably wins- maybe not what people vote for, but probably what they have.


At the same time -lots of guys THINK they have something when they really have a mix of something.
Until you actually 3rd party DNA test your animal - you don't know what you have.
Breeders lie like rugs.


The most awesome dog of all of mine, or even ones that Ive had in my life is this little treasure - Madeleine.
Amazingly complex personality, and like all females- she can seduce, or launch an attack vicious enough to take nearly anything down.

I want to know how the chow - chihuahua thing went down.

Gotta represent my Boston Terrier. Never had a dog that's so "mobile". He does every activity we do. Never shit or pissed in the house. Great dog.'

 

[MalibuKen]

Mostly lab mix for me, most recent Catahoula/lab and Yellow Lab. Always rescued dogs.

I was sitting out at a coffee shop one day with my Chow dog, when a couple stopped by to chat. They had the weirdest looking little dog, something I'd never seen before. They said "we want to check out your Chow because we have a CHOW-WOWA". They said a neighbors male chow jumped the fence and got with their female chihuahua. Only had one pup, and it was a weird looking little guy, looked like something you'd make on photoshop.

Funny.

She was something like that - but with all that other stuff thrown in.
Without the DNA test we'd have never had a clue of what we have.
She's a medium sized terrier looking dog with a silk soft non shedding coat.

I'm more worried about the stud dog or female is the dog they say it is. Like my boy's father is highly titled as a show dog, in fact he is the most titled male in Rottweiler history, he's also highly titled in schutzhund/IPO. He was sold by his breeder for close to $100K and stud fee's are extremely high, since he is in Denmark, are the breeders here really getting his semen, are breeders here really using him or just saying its him. Lying like this has happened, DNA has proven it does. Although I knew my breeder well, even went to Northern California for shows with her. But my boys litter mates, well they cost between $2k to $3k per puppy. She broke even on two litters of puppies.

I got my pup based on the mother, she had a good show career, was schutzhun II, her grand father was my favorite male Rottweiler in the 90's. But without DNA, I'm not 100% sure on the accuracy of the pedigree. He's also like a second cousin once removed to one of my girls. I like staying in the same bloodlines with all my dogs. Good pedigree's can be the difference between $800 to $1,500 puppies or $2,000 to $3,000 puppies. I'll pay the big money to get the same bloodlines as my past dogs. Also hoping they'll produce a similar type as their ancestors. Breeders now this and can and do create false pedigree's. Only 3 breeders in Rottweiler's I trust.

My boys father and great grand father, two very nice Rottweiler's.

Who are the breeders?

 

[koenig]

Who are the breeders?

http://www.redwoodkrest.com/ even though he's probably in it for the money, he wants to maintain a good reputation. He does his own breeding's and imports as well. Expensive but he delivers. He actively shows his dogs in German style shows and titles his dogs in schuzthund/IPO, he's a good training resource besides producing and importing top dogs.

http://www.jenecks.com/ probably the oldest Rottweiler breeder in the U.S. Has produced some of the top dogs in Rottweiler's. Is highly regarded by most breeder in the states and Europe.

http://www.hexental.be/ he's in Europe, long time breeder with a very good reputation. He probably has the highest standards for his breeding's. He also knows more about Rottweiler's then anyone out there.

 

[racered]

Low maintenance, long life, loyal, cur dogs.

Funny. I bought my current boy Ty at 10months old basically on his head type and his movement.

 

[koenig]

My boy Ty is very similar to his father and his brother in head type. I'm either switching breeds entirely this time or importing a dog from Germany with the same bloodlines.

His Father is lying down the brother is standing:

I've rarely buy purebred dogs, but if I were rottie shopping id be doing the level of due diligence you are in choosing a breeder for your dogs.

I mostly go by reputation, then the lines I like. Most of the breeders when I first got into Rottweiler's 17 or so years ago. Well they no longer breed dogs. Two have died and eight or more have retired. Its now a short list in Rottweiler's.

I'm sorry for your loss,glad to help with a distraction however brief.
It never goes away but time helps.

 

[koenig]

Id say if you are thinking about getting a purebred dog. First thing you should do is find a forum for that breed. Forums will likely have dog show results and discussions on dogs doing well Look at some of the winning show dogs and make a list of the ones you like. Then find the breeders breeding those lines or similar. Once you've found the breeders, that seem to produce the type of dog you are looking for. Ask the breeder about health testing on their breeding stock. Rottweiler's have several genetic health problem's, and they can be tested for most of them. They are: OFA Elbows, OFA Cardiac, OFA Thyroid and OFA hips, OFA is a foundation that certifies dogs don't have these problems. Any breed can be tested, most do these tests. No health certificates on both parents, don't buy a puppy. Also you should go to the OFA website and make sure the parents actually have the certificates! Some breeders fake them!!!! I tend to pick breeders, who actively show their dogs and participate in protection sports. They also do well in this arena. Warning about AKC champions, any dog could earn a championship if you show it enough. Even so, if a breeder just talks about all the champions in their pedigree, but their dogs don't have titles, run don't walk away!

My dog Buddy passed away a year ago on August 27th 2013. I still can't look at his picture without getting bummed out.

 

[DickieB]

Dawgs.............ya' gotta love 'em! Can't bring myself to get another right now, it's so hard to let them go. I have several granddawgs and stepdawgs that I get to play with so that'll have to do for now.
