wolf hybrids on the rise in the UK

[Dana]

Incorrect... the only difference between the german rotti vs the USA rotti is in the morphology of the breed, it has nothing to do with temperament....and lets face it, temperment of a dog mostly depends on the human and how they train it and NOT in the dog.

Eactly. What is it with this British superiority complex?

 

[Darrell]

Could be... *shrugs*

That is what people most commonly reference when talking about over breeding, and medical concerns.

I miss Canidae

That makes two of us. He was one of my first friends on OTz.

aha,many moons ago rottis were being shown and judged at things like crufts,now as you know they are a high energy,highly strung herding dog..well the kennel club were getting fed up with the rottis all trying to get at each other so they added temperament to the show standard,with this the serious breeders started breeding from the most placid dogs they had...now you are right about the owner being a large slice in how a dog is,it only takes one bad owner to spoil alot of hard work

now as for these wolf hybrids.....yes dana,i am an animal lover

the problem is that alot of the mixes are first generation,so they have a high prey drive..if its perhaps 3 or 4 generations down the line,that prey drive is greatly diminished

:umnoeh eh...now now, i could say the same about yanks... has more to do with ignorance and that i am afraid is common on both sides of the sea.

So in saying that, why would you want to put a stop to it? Why not allow for this new breed to also gain the retardation of overbreeding of an average dog? Why not embrace a breed that will have far less desease and problems than the inbreed dogs we have today?

I for one share no complex... I just... See it from the Brits on a lot of subjects... Besides Elsa you're no longer British, legally

i did,i got 2 crossbreeds

in saying that,cross a german shepherd that has hip problems with a wolf and the chances are that the problems will be in the pups

i hold a British passport and i have a funny accent...hummmm But yes, i have to agree with you on the fact that i have not seen any patriotism/ redneckedness coming from you Dana which is a good thing.

Thank God... I'd stab myself in the foot... :24:

and yes very true. There should certainly be strict guidelines to the breeding as is the current breeding of dogs is VERY bad.

There is a HUGE difference between being a patriot and being a redneck. Just FYI.

Both make me cringe a little. I'm all for American pride but some take it over the top. Rednecks well, they just need to be ran over with the John Deere tractor they rode in on.

Geography mainly

 

[Peter Parka]

Someone in my town had one of these wolf-dogs which got out once and within 10 minutes had killed a horse! :wtf:

And look at how many people have been killed in that same time frame.

207 - Pit bull terrier
78 - Rottweiler
22 - Husky
19 - Wolf Hybrid

With all due respects, these statistics are misleading, there's a hell of a lot more pit bulls and rotties being kept as pets that these wolfdogs.

A wolf hybrid went off and killed a horse....? I find that extremely hard to believe.

And as far as the statistics go, I already covered that earlier.

There are 3 times as many Rottweiler's than Wolf hybrids so a fair comparison would be 252 to 481. So Rottweiler's attack people at more than 2 times the rate that Wolf hybrids do dog for dog...

 

[Peter Parka]

Yes, you're right, I am liar and you have proof of that.

 

[Tim]

Yes, you're right, I am liar and you have proof of that.

If I had thought you a liar, I would have said so.

 

[Peter Parka]

You said you found it hard to believe I was telling the truth, pretty much amounts to calling me a liar.
