My neighbours dog just had sex

Lol haha But seriously My dad bred rough collies and Shetland Sheepdogs And he didn't like Mongrels He would be turning in his grave if he knew how much money a cross bred poodle/ cocker spaniel costs to buy now.

@Ineeddentures When I was a child my parents took me for an outing for my 6th birthday and we came home with a kitten. We weren't at all prepared so it was lucky we didn't have a long drive because it walked back and forth on the dashboard as my Dad drove home. When I was 12 my Mum sent me to the village shop for something and I came home with a dog! And the most amazing thing (looking back) was that although she was rather strict about a lot of things she didn't actually object to that!!

@Ineeddentures LOL no just a quarter of sliced ham or something like that.

@Fleura what were you supposed to have got at the shop? A.crocodile? Lol sorry

@Ineeddentures - People should adopt animals left in shelters, there are also pure breed dogs there.

Exactly. I have no idea why anyone would want to pay so much for a dog.

@LadyDuck We do need to ease the pressure on shelters so getting an animal from a shelter is the way to go. Give a donation, help the shelter

Well that's a bit more sensible than spending so much .oney on a dog

@Ineeddentures true.

@Ineeddentures No, but he has his own business and tries to pay cash for everything. He doesn't buy a lot for himself, so I told him, get what he wants and not settle. A problem he is finding, they have a huge waiting list. We may wind up with two kittens from the rescue.

@noni1959 Two kittens from the rescue will be just as good as a 2k fan y cat I think

That is a lot of money for a fancy cat. He must have plenty of money

@Ineeddentures I think my mom bought her dog for 400 dollars or so....my grandparents got theirs for 600. and that seemed like a lot lol

@MommyOfEli2013 Both those amounts are a lot lol I wouldn't pay that unless a dog rescue place wanted it as a donation

Cute yes But not £2k cute

All the genetics stuff was done centuries ago when ranchers and farmers needed a way to protect their lifestock from predators @Ineeddentures but rotty and dachshund makes no sense at all, why the hell would anyone want a guard dog crossed with a hyper small hunting breed is beyond me, it makes no sense. Come to think of it none of those designer breeds make sense.

I totally agree Plus I just don't like messing around with genetics like this It's got silly now I believe someone tried to breed a rottweiler daschound cross How bloody stupid is that

@rebelann Correct lol A little bit of me does want to see what a rotty sausage dog would look like

@Ineeddentures The most I ever gave for a dog was 300 for a wolf dog. I have never worried about papers on my dogs either.

Me too And now I see why my dad wasn't over enthusiastic about it either

@wolfgirl569 Papers would t bother me either. I wouldn't be showing or breeding and if I did I wouldn't be selling puppies

@Ineeddentures sometimes I want a furry something but I also realize that it helps when I do not have this added expense.

I wish they were my.pippies Sandra I would have guarantees income We won't ever have a pet again for a long time if ever

@Ineeddentures The pet aisle in our local supermarket takes up a whole aisle.

@JudyEv The pets aisle is one I don't go near in the supermarket. I get the cat treats from our local Lidl. They don't have a pet aisle, just a small section

That would be the best option People do spend some crazy money on pets

@Ineeddentures Thank you. I don't have time and I know I can't look after the pets.

That is very responsible of you More people should think like you

@Ineeddentures I have never had relations with a dog. I've had some ugly chicks. But never a dog. lol

@porwest Because I believe everything I read on here I believe you

Aye Wasn't you was it?

@Ineeddentures no, but you gave it a good shot.

Lol I don't think I got anyone

Free is for me too Give them a good home and look after them Why should I pay.

@Jehanne Oh well Puppy farms are huge business here in the UK Lots of money involved. It's shocking

@Ineeddentures exactly! Some people now use it as a business. shrug

Nothing wrong with paying a reasonable price Marga A German Shepherd should be a good watch dog but I'm guessing she gets petted a lot lol

Same here Linda It would be the pound for me.
