pup

most new folks in the breed get one and end up givin it away

 

Good post. Very true.

 

people get sick of stupid questions asked by stupid people, dudes talking about starting a yard with his first dog, hope he does get put off and ends up with a bully.

if someone wants to learn then learn jumping online and searching for pups is just stupid

 

you so onto it slim. im sorry for my errors.

why dont you hook him up with a dog then if you think the satement about "starting a yard" was normal

all these shitheads have the same opinion.

its also the way the questions are asked, if you look around enough[and with you post amount you would have come across it] you will see the same people you call "shitheads" answer well worded questions by newbies in a very different matter.
personally i wouldve answered the question very differently had he taken a better aproach.

and the fact that you can claim that its about selling pups shows what you know about it.

as funny as you obviously think it sounds, shoveling shit, changing water feeding and aiding in working the dogs in someone elses yard is infact the best way get your first dog and then start your own yard.
how he finds someone who will let him do that is another question, but it is possible if he spends the time looking.

how did you get your dog? did someone straight off the net hook you up after you asked? i may aswell ask

maybee you should start a thread crying about how harsh everyone is and you can write ten plus pages on how we can change our etiquette.

do you want a tissue? or havent you finished having your little cry yet?

 

Well, Slim I figure it like this... I get a female pup (first one) she ain't worth breeding so she ain't worth starting a yard off of but since I don't have any type of knowledge of what I SHOULD start a yard with (because I didn't take the time to study the breed or anything I just jumped online and got a pup) I got a yard full of sway backed cow-hocked undershot bowlegged dogs that have all the desire in the world but can't back it up cause their bodies won't let em. OR I can read every damn thing bulldog that I can get my hands on talk to as many people that are in them as I can, learn the bloodlines, the traits, the flaws, and everything that I can, THEN get a female pup (if that's what it has to be) raise her, LEARN what it is to breed and little things like what to do if the bitch don't want to feed the pups, breech births, when to know that a c section is needed, ya ya ya. And then start a quality yard.

 

All we trying to do is save the man, time, heartache, money, and embarrassment.

 

I think you were duped, bamboozeled. Starting with the name, but some of this stuff is entertaining.

 

^^^ What do you mean?

 

I think the question was asked to get a rise and it got many.

 

Mmm. You could be right about that. Might be why there's been no response from the jackass.

 

You know what slim you have a point, really you do. I just might be going about it the wrong way and the only excuse I have is because I'm still young (at least from your point of view) and I ain't learned that thing that "old people" have... you know how they say there's more than one way to skin a cat? well I ain't learned the other ways yet, for me there's only with a knife (figuratively and literally speaking um not the cat though) so I apologize. This was something my brother was trying to teach and instill in me before he died... I'm still learning. Thanks for giving me another perspective to see it from buddy.

 

well slim then you can see it from the same angle, just a different perspective.
no pansie toes here just find it hard to gather logical thoughts with a bunch of people taking the wrongest aproach possible, ive been a prick to many newbies but ive been very understanding of many others, and it does get pretty repetitive, to give a serious and decent response when 95% of the people you take the right way with throw it back in your face, when asking why their dogs hung itself after theyve chained it to close to a fence or tree, or that they cant understand how there bulldog scaled a seven foot fence, because after being told by twenty or so people they should chain and contain they refused to be "cruel" and tether there wonderfull new petbull.
or when they ask what to expect of a four week old puppy because hes showing very game!
or why after being told that they should keep their dogs seperate, only to come home to a dead rottie, because their bulldog wanted to "play" with it, and "its weird because they never used to fight, even when we feed them out of the same bowl"

im all for giving hints and help, and i would look to get plenty of my own here when needed, but the wording and attitude of the posters asking stupid arsed questions that could generally be answered with a search on the site or even smarter buy a few books which as we all know can give great help on the care and health issues these dogs have and learn a bit of history while they are at it.

patience is something i find hard to grasp when the other person in question is failing to use simple logic in the situation.
Am i an arogant asshole? yes, im the first to admit that, just like my father just like my grandfather, its how i was brought up.

my issue with each silly non thought out question, this op being the current example, was the fact that the statement of having a first dog, to start up a yard was a question that grated and will grate me again if someone else asks it.

if a few straglers happen to fall off and are put off by a bit of overly tough love then so be it, i have noticed however that a very high percentage of newbies that cop it after not thinking about either reading it up or using their brain, take it all onboard and then continue to start a swifter learning curve to owning the dogs in the right way.

 

Good Post JY. And to add to that the newbies that catch hell and continue on is, imo, showing the character trait of the dogs themselves, which again imo, shows WHY THEY are attracted to the dogs, they just don't know HOW to go about it, that means they just need some instructions on where to go to get the info they want, and two often end up with the same intolerance for stupidity that the veterans showed to them.

 

Did you start a yard with your FIRST APBT? Not knowing anything about the breed or where to get one, whether she was worthy of being bred at all? Just got a female APBT and started a yard off her?

 

LMAO, nice slim, but the way I am taking his post is he wants a female he can breed to start his "yard" (why are we putting yard in quotations?)
