StarFox Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Mini Rotts? :o :-? Last time I checked there was no such breed. Quote
imported_Kat Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 :roll: Either you have been way misinformed Spinna or you are supporting the fad concept of miniature breeding, but there is no such breed as a miniature Rottweiler. Quote
Sharpeigirl Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 :o :o Mini Rotties?? There is no such thing that I know of. Quote
xavierandrea Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 :o Mini Rotts...... ?????? Please don't tell my guys there are mini me's of them walking around... Quote
cheekymunkee Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Never heard of them but then again with all the new "designer breeds" showing up lately, who knows. I was talking to an eBay seller who has a Corgidor. Corgi (not sure which one) & Lab mix. :o Debby Quote
izzy Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Mini rotts?, porcelain figures? I hope you mean Mini Pinschers. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Perhaps its a mutant gene of dwarfism showing up in some lines f Rottweilers. This can happen in many breeds and in some cases it was specifically bred for for instance corgi's, Dachhunds, Bassets etc. it is now a set gene in these breeds. I have seen GSD's, which have been dwarf's, Dwarf Newfoundland's etc. It is a gene which can show up every once in awhile in breeds...you could keep the mutant gene in a line and keep breeding for it to "create" a new dwarf breed.

imported_Kat Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 yeah and create a whole new line of health problems :evil: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 yeah and create a whole new line of health problems Yup. The only way anyone would breed one of these so called minature breeds would be soley for profit. Actually they happen to reputable breeders soley by mistake. They are not intending to do this, but, mutant genes do pop up in our purebreds. These are not real breeds. And as far as the minature newfoundlands: A) I have never heard of this before and B)Why would anyone want a minature one It happens, years ago the breeders would put them down ASAP. You don't see them often...I have only seen 1 GSD which was a dwarf, looked like a little coyoto pup at 2 years of age, and the Newf had the proper body with extremely short legs. I have only seen a couple in my life time and they were not pureposely bred. I was just explaining how it happens, it can happen, and it does happen. I can't see any one making a profit off these dogs as they are riddled with genetic disorders (thyroid problems etc.) The mutant dwarfs I have dealt with were kept by the breeders (not sold) and lived a comfortable life. The breeders spent alot of money keeping these dogs well and they did not live very long. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Did you not tell the original poster to that they could keep breeding the mutant gene to create a whole new line? I was not trying to promote dwarfism, although after rereading my orginal post it appears that I was :oops: this was not my intention. I was just discussing how dwarfish happens and how some breeds were created by using this mutant gene. I have not studied genetics so there fore I am no expert...but, with larger breeds this is not an advisable breeding program unless you were looking for a new line of dogs to make our vet's rich. Sorry if any one took me the wrong way. Quote
