I would say that when we get really, really, old --- that we would consider a Standard Poodle as a house dog......but, and that's a big BUTT ..... someone.... :roll: .... would accuse me of being a BUTT KISSER ----- so I won't say that. :-? :lol:

[quote name='yellowlabsrule']Does he think they're rabbits or something? :lol:[/quote] Noooo, I think it's the "or something". :lol:

[quote name='TLCPETS'][quote name='Hobbit']Well, I'd get spanked if I peed the floor......hum....spanked..... :o[/quote] And you should !!!!!!! Are you being bad,or ugly??? :evil:[/quote] BOTH! :lol:

Poofy we don't all agree with each other. If you do not find the board interesting, then it is your choice to either stay or go somewhere else. Several asked for YOUR explaination on genetics and YOU are one that got defensive. If a person is knowledgable about a subject they normally do not mind questions and posting answers. Apparently, you do mind --- and that's okay. Now, if you have any scenario's as to the test matings that you know about, it would be educational to read some. Especially the conclusion(s) of the test. This may help someone that is reading the forum, but afraid to post, from making the same mistake.

Wild, I do agree that some people use the excuse of "he barks too much" to justify them taking the dog to the shelter. Hum...not too long ago there was a women on here that used the exact same excuse to get rid of her dog ---- "dog barked too much". The real reason, if the truth was told, was that they got another dog and she just didn't want the "old" dog anymore. Good point HF and Jacsmom. It should be done as the last, very, very last resort. Personally, I think that it's done mostly for convenience.

Well, I'd get spanked if I peed the floor......hum....spanked..... :o

E A S Y !

Oh yeah, the couch defeetitator. :drinking:

:o I had something smart to say.....but forgot what I was going to say. Oh, for those who are literal....."type", forgot what I was going to "type".

Yes. Guy is not afraid of large dogs. He just doesn't know what those Pugs and Boston's are? :lol:

Yes. I go there often.

What was the question? I'm going senile. Jacsmom, you weren't talking to me, right. That post wasn't meant for you. I lost track....had to pee, came back and well, you know.....the rythum was gone.

:oops: :oops: I didn't want her to decapitate me. ..... [size=2]hiding behind the couch[/size]...

The good kind. Are we talking about the same thing? You know....flakey, homestyle, buttermilk??

:o Oh yeah. He is petrified of Pugs and Boston Terriers!

OMG ....... did :angel: just say BUTT KISSER? That is F U N N Y !!!!

:lol: .....and don't forget the Bassedores and Bassedoodles. Now, that's scarey! Basset/Lab and Basset/Poodle. That is border line circus ugly!! :lol:

Yeah, you have to watch out for Horsefeathers!, she's the decapitator of the bunch.....and that was said in a very loving way. :wink:

It was a question poof....just a question. I am secure in my knowledge of genetics. Again, I stand by -- test mating should be done by someone that is well versed in genetics for RESEARCH reasons in an effort to isolate a defect and illiminate it from the bloodline and [b]not[/b] done by someone who is breeding multiple breeds and producing multiple litters for profit.

I have my hand raised, pick me, pick me..... I want to answer, but MUST get outside and feed. So, I'll be back in about 2 hrs. 8) Oh, this genetic debate......LOVE IT.

Being able to copy and paste is NOT the same as understanding the concept of genetics. Test-matings should not be done by amateur breeders as herself. It is done for research to be able to breed out the undesirable trait --- ENHANCEMENT of the breed. Test matings done by someone who has multiple breeds and are breeding multiple litters --- is NOT for research, it's for PROFIT.

[b][color=red]Was this taken from:[/color][/b] [i][b]Control of Canine Genetic Diseases [/b][/i] George A. Padgett; 1998; Hardcover; 264 pages; $19.57 The issue of genetic diseases in dogs is a matter of major concern for every dog breeder, every companion dog owner and every serious dog enthusiast at the present time. How to understand the mechanics of inheritance, how to deal with percentages, predictability of outcome and how to breed away from such scourges as canine hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy and other debilitating conditions are all covered in this important new book by one of the scientific community's most respected authorities on the subject. The superlative text is augmented with charts, graphs, tables and all the data needed to help the dog breeder take a positive role in enhancing the genetic health of his or her own dogs and the health of entire breed populations. Many practical issues are included such as ethical dealings with buyers of puppies showing late onset conditions, test mating and much more. Destined to become the classic on this truly vital subject
