Goat Lgds on Death Row in Tennessee
https://www.facebook.com/tndeathrowdogs/photos_stream
It looks like 4 trained great pyreness have been dumped by someone getting out of goats. I don't know if anyone on this forum is needing dogs, but I'd hate to see them euthanized.

Okay, I'm probably going to start something ugly but... every pit bull owner should have a look at that page before the asinine thought runs through their head "wouldn't it be just so bad a-- to breed my pit!". Obviously, I'm not speaking of the owners that have rescued or adopted one of the never ending supply of cast-offs. So sad, and totally preventable.

I think that should go for any dog period. I think personally you shouldn't breed unless you have people on a waiting list. Also in a contract if they no longer want/ cannot own the dog anymore the breeder takes it back. We had it in ours and has worked well. I also have three rescue dogs and once they are gone I will get another "pound puppy".

Right after we picked our boxer, Pookie, at the animal shelter, one of my neighbors asked if I wanted to breed her with his boxer. Of course she was fixed at the shelter, so it wasn't even an option, but he didn't know her at all. She's not registered, (as far as I know, not under Pookie for sure  !) She looks purebred, has a docked tail and dew claws removed, but that doesn't seem like enough of a reason to breed to me!

You would not believe who many people have asked me to breed my Smooth Coated Collie to everything from a mutt to another herding breed. Oh course the answer is no!!! The only reason he is not fixed is because of the MDR1 gene. I am not about to take the chance of him dying when put under. Another reason he will not bred is because of the gene and he turned into a crappy representative of the breed. Nope no way not passing that along even though we paid out the hinny to get him.

that site about makes me cry. I'd take them all if I could. as is, I took in several cast-off's in my life, and am young enough I'll take in more someday. its about all I can do, but its sure hard to see those creatures tossed out like nothing. I agree, why ppl breed like they do (hehe, that could be taken a coupla ways!) is beyond me.

Were they in Fayetteville? If so, one of them is coming home with us on Friday. Snowflake!
ETA: I finally got the FB pics to load, and yes, the 3 yo female, Snowflake, is coming home with us. So excited!!

So glad they have homes I shared it on facebook a few times today. Maybe some of other dogs will find homes as well.

Well, we got a bit more of the story. These came from a breeder with more dogs than demand (not sure if that bodes well). The female was coming into heat and a bit aggressive, so we brought home a 3 yo male named Bear instead. He is calm so far, and is on a lead in the barn next to the goat stables until we know we can trust him. The goats can't decide if their curiosity will overcome their fear, but we will take baby steps. We have walked the perimeter of our fence with him and all the kids took a turn leading and petting him. Wish us luck and wisdom!

I have two males that came from a breeder who couldn't sell his pups any more. They're named Grizzly and Bear... sometimes, when I'm walking around the farm yelling "Grizzly", "Bear" I wish they had different names. Fortunately, there are no real grizzly bears and few black bears in this area or I might have to worry about an over-exuberant neighbor showing up with a shot gun.

Yeah was thinking of getting one but it would HAVE to be a male my (spayed) aussie would not tolerate another female in her territory. And as far as breeding...I have had so many people ask if I breed my aussie and though she is purebred and a great rep for the breed (old school) I decided to have her spayed anyway. I've worked in shelters and it kills me that some people just don't get it.

So far, so good with the new livestock guard dog, Bear. He has been chained in the barn at night with the goats and on a lead in the pasture during the day (because we don't have an escape-proof pen to put him in). We let him off the lead for about 45 minutes yesterday and he laid down near the goats. No chasing. No excessive barking at night. Friendly, but knows his own mind. Smart. We plan to keep turning him loose when we can supervise for at least another week, but he is doing well for having been in his new home for two days.
