I suspect they will be fun.

They also have a pregnant Staffie that was accidently knobbed by both a
labrador and a spaniel so they do not what to expect puppywise.

Enough said. My new neighbour is now called James.

Paul has only moved 5 miles away. We will keep in touch until he changes his
mobile phone number, and that is usually about every 4 weeks.

> Oh, and any more said about the Vicar's cat?

Not really. He did thank me for staying with her to the end (I am not a big
fan of stroking/comforting a pet whilst it is put down but I was the only
one available that was prepared to do it) and he gave me the money for the
vet's bill that I paid.

My cat ended up getting all his cats remaining food. He gave the litter tray
and 3 cat litter bags to the local animal rescue centre. Mine don't need
litter trays:-)

Because the original owner blacklists the stolen phone maybe? ;-)

Some people are just utterly feckless at hanging on to phones and equally
feckless about hanging on to numbers. If it's a business phone (or rather,
a "dodgy business phone"), there's something to be said for NOT hanging on
to a number for too long. ;-)

As they say, once is an accident - twice is carelessness. Unless it was a

Wouldn't the offspring be stafadors and staniels?

A spanador would suggest some interesting lesbian doggy action. [1]

Well FYI I met a jackapoo at puppy training class this week.



The puppy trainer was telling us about another punter of his who was
proudly showing off his new "Pedigree Labradoodle".

"Er - it's not a pedigree I'm afraid; no such thing; it's just a
cross-breed or a mongrel"

"Yes it is, look: here's the official pedigree chart that the breeded
gave me"

"How much did you pay for that...?"

"900 quid"

Well No that's not totally true. Especially in popular breeds like
Labradors, because there are so many of them.

The odd thing is our pure bred labrador has on more than one occasion
given rise to a litter of puppies, but only with other black labradors.
He has never to my knowledge shagged any other breed.

And that's all of his own volition.

The terrier seems less sure..

I suspect dogs, like cats do not suffer so much from inbreeding anyway.

Hmm..
breed together two pedigree dogs, sort the litter by kennel club rules, kill
the ones that fail, sell the ones that pass.
Sounds like classic inbreeding to me.

Pedigree dogs suffer terribly from inbreeding. Many breeders are quite
happy to breed their dogs with their own offspring resulting in many
recessive conditions being expressed.

Indeed. Much worse in some parts of the middle east
where they routinely marry very close cousins. Very
visible in the results they get medically apparently.

Nar, the real inbreeding you see with the worst of them
is parents breeding with their offspring etc deliberately.

Lot of that is done and it produces some pretty obscene results.

Indeed, it's a function of being pedigree. Consider that every breed of
domestic dog is descended from wolves - any dog can breed with any dog,
because they are all exactly the same species; and all pedigree breeds
have been created artificially by humans breeding them willy nilly over
the centuries, creating small gene pools by doing so.

To be honest I'm quite uncomfortable about the whole pedigree dog thing,
but ultimately I sold out and bought a labrador because I wanted a dog
with those traits. Ours is very healthy, and looking at the pedigree
chart there are at least no animals in common over the past 5
generations. However, labradors do have are known risks of eye and hip
problems in particular. A reputable breeder (like ours) will screen for
these, and any animal with a 'high hip score' should not be bred from -
"should" being the key word here.

Like hell it is with that level of inbreeding.

It has in fact been nothing like willy nilly.

Doesn’t have to be done like that.

It does allow much more predictability about what you are going to get.

And that’s what you don’t get with mongrels.

And that’s what the better breeders do.
