    General Dog Discussions : what your biggest pet peeve in the dog category?...

    • Oh, where do I start?*Teacup anything- and the idiots that say crap like "They DO exist, I have one, here's proof!"- and they reference some dumb breeders website. (I have Texas Swamp Poodles, my proof is my avatar!)*stupid designer dud names- and the people who INSIST they are real breeds*The people who trash people who own purebreds- last I checked, I had the right to own a purebred.*Not calling the vet when your dog is dying, been throwing up for days, lying listless on the floor, has a broken bone, etc.---subcategory here are the excuses- "The vet isn't open", "The vet is 30 miles away"- "I don't have the money"- "the dog will bleed in my brand new beamer"- etc., etc., etc.*The folks who think that they should breed their dogs----subcategory- those that let their dog "accidently" get pregnant- don't know how to deal with a dog in heat, don't know what to do when their dog has been in labor for 2 days, and then claim it isn't for the money* "How do I talk my Mom into getting me a dog, I REALLY want one!"* What do I name my dog?* The number of folks who ask a question, you give an honest answer, and they get mad and send you nastygrams, or have your answer deleted because you didn't agree with them!That about cover is!

    • When people tell others what to do with their dogs, even when it had nothing to do with the actual question. For example...Q: At what age is it best for a female to get pregnant?A: GET YOUR DOG SPAYED!!! WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!!!Come on, get over yourselves.

    • I have a few:*People asking breeding questions. Seriously, that's why breeders have mentors, not the advice of random strangers.*Teacups*Asking about hybrids when talking about mixed breeds*The designer names given to mixed breeds*The whole "Mutts are better/healthier than purebreds" crap. Hybrid vigor doesn't apply to mixed breed dogs.*Bad and potentially harmful 'advice' from so-called vets and vet techs. I'm not saying that there aren't professionals, but the rest of us can't see their credentials...*Questions like "Is my puppy cute" or "What should I name my puppy" or "How can I convince my mom/dad to let me have a dog, I really NEED one", etc. etc.*People who claim Pit Bulls are mean, nasty dogs.*People who think that Iams, Eukanuba, Ol' Roy, Science Diet, and other crappy foods are good for dogs.Just a few.

    • Same here, I have heaps.People insisting that their Labradoodlecockaman is a purebred - as if. Designer dogs... *shudder*People asking what to do in an emergency - go to the vet... how hard is that to understand?People trying to sell their dogs here - it is not the right place.That's only a few, like I said, I have heaps more.

    • people who say ALL pitbulls are mean... give me a break... thats like saying everyone that's from Alabama dates their relatives or all blacks like chicken or all whites look alike.....

    • The morons who ask questions like "My dog just ate a bar of chocolate. What do I do?" Get off your damn computer and take him/her to the vet. Duh.And also the "How do I get my mom to let me get a dog?" Why don't you talk to her about it instead of us?

    • I would have to agree with you on the hybrid and designer mutt questions today. and blue violet it is a Labracockadoodleman not just a Labradoodlecockaman lol.... I made that one up as an example of what I HATE LOL. Tomorrow it will probably be the pregnant dog questions.. you know cause it is spring and they are coming.
