I have had DDB in my life for 10 year...Anon 12.09. I have had DDB in my life for 10 years and believe it or not I have never bred a litter. Companions - no more. Is it so hard for you to believe? !! <br />Of course I have - or had - breeders who were friends. Up and down this country. I have 5 DDB's at this moment. 4 of those are rescued dogs. 1 of those I bought and raised from a pup. She is the last one I would ever purchase. I have dealt with so many conditions over the years and of course these reputable (and I use the term loosely) breeders arent interested when things go wrong. <br />I have one male who is an ex-stud dog. His bloodlines are fabulous. He is superb to look at - breathtakingly beautiful. From the front. He sired a few litters of puppies for a show kennels, before they decided that his puppies were sharing his weakness, and that is when he came to me. I paid for him to be neutered of course. His back legs resemble those of a penguin. He bunny hops everywhere. But he is a love. Not breeding quality - not fit for function. But he was bred never the less. More than 5 times. People even paid to use this dog. And to date I have not seen a worse rear end. <br />Another female I have - an ex breeding female. Was that badly beaten by another reputable breeder with a riding crop that she would vomit in fear when she first came here. I have a female with a severe heart murmur - again used for breeding before she joined me. She is on medication daily. And a lovely little chap with failing kidneys. He is on a special diet and medication - for the moment it is under control but we take each day as it comes. His lifespan is not great - when he begins to decline I will have to release him from his fate.<br />Ive always had a couple of sick dogs. Im not quite sure I remember what its like to not have to hand out daily meds!!!! Im happy to offer them a place in my home - but one thing is for sure. I have seen enough to put me off ever considering breeding a litter. To risk passing this heart ache onto another is something my soul couldnt justify.<br />Of course over the years I have met a handful of fantastic breeders who do the best they can. Baby steps - but they are progressing the right way. In health I mean. But I have also seen the very worst. The worst seem to come highly recommended too. Accredited breeders some of them.<br />I watched pedigree dogs exposed and I wished I had a hidden camera - that on the TV was nothing. Deep down most of you people know it. If you dont know it, then consider yourself lucky that you havent been as close to some as I have.<br />I have no grudges with anyone. I care about the dogs. Deeply. I have asked the KC to investigate certain issues and they aren't interested. I guess the get too many bitter complaints that are false. They pay no attention when a real one comes in either.<br />But it makes me sick to see heads buried in the sand. The breed is not under attack here - tight nostrils are a problem. Yes. They are. My female Renee that I bought as a puppy has tight nostrils too. She pants a lot - but she copes. There is no harm to say it. But then again I dont need to risk putting off any puppy buyers. <br />Jemima would be more than welcome to come and take pictures of my dogs. Tight nostrils, penguin feed and all. More than welcome to glance in my medicine cabinet, read my vet reports from the last 10 years and even read some of the emails I have had from breeders over this period too. <br />It isnt a bed of roses out there. Lets stop trying to fool the world. <br />Im not really interested in petty arguments - Ive seen it and dealt with it. So have some of the people reading and commenting here. Some probably saw fit to dish a bit of it out.<br />Some DDBs have tight nostrils. This is a fact. Stamp feet or not - get pictures removed or not - it doesnt change the nose on that face! Jemima has barely scratched the surface. It could of been much, much worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-15537429414438530342012-03-15T23:08:02.171+00:002012-03-15T23:08:02.171+00:00If I have given the impression that I think that o...If I have given the impression that I think that overheating had anything to do with Marley's death, then you have my unreserved apologies. <br /><br />I thought I had stated quite clearly that Marley did not overheat (in fact the opposite) and I am not "attacking the breed just because mine died". I have written above that it was a tragic one-off, I corrected someone who thought it might be breed-related and this afternoon I have not published a great many other comments relating to Marley.<br /><br />I was really sorry to hear about Marley's death. It must have been just horrendous and my heart goes out to you. <br /><br />That doesn't take away the fact that I feel that Dogues would do better with wider nostrils but do appreciate that the reference to Marley could be seen an insensitive. As such, I have have removed it.<br /><br />JemimaJemima Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092892697145388048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-81668021816087535962012-03-15T22:57:47.920+00:002012-03-15T22:57:47.920+00:00My condolences regarding Marlie. :-(My condolences regarding Marlie. :-(Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15346648173880512533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-24838057525399562032012-03-15T22:40:28.465+00:002012-03-15T22:40:28.465+00:00Well well well i am the owner of marley she was no...Well well well i am the owner of marley she was not over heated and i NEVER said she was over heated once ( even when i was asked 4 or 5 times by reporters ) yes the nec was very stuffy but there was 1000s of people and dogs in there ,yes the doors should be open ,yes there was other breeds of dogs panting yes panting shock horror !!!! yes some dogs die young in all breeds and cross breeds .Why do you feel the need to attack the dogues as a breed just because mine died ,it had nothing to do with the breed and NONE of the breeders and owners have heard of the condition .What i have read quickly is lots of quotes from american kc not ares they are completly differant .just leave it iam sorry you never got the story you wanted from MY DOGS DEATH so leave it alone and look at the puppy farms not attacking my freinds and fellow dogue ownersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-19734881340020348082012-03-15T22:32:09.981+00:002012-03-15T22:32:09.981+00:00I just LOVE how all these DBB come out of the wood...I just LOVE how all these DBB come out of the woodwork, yet not ONE has the balls to sign their name to their posts.

For one if this injury happened at a young age this injury could have been forgotton and before you all jump down my throat, things happen and we do forget. My son was born with a small heart mumour and we attended the hospital routinely till he was 2 when I was told this had healed. My son at the age of 16 broke his nose and had to have it re-built and when he was going down to theatre I was asked his health questions and if he had any heart problems I said no, they asked for example heart mumours etc. and at that point I remembered that he had, I had totally forgot that he had been born with a heart mumour, but if they had not mentioned the word mumour to me I would have let him go down to theatre and who knows what could have happened. Would I risk his life, No. So in answer to your disbelief in the Bulldog owner I dont think anything was done with intent, would they risk the outcome NO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-64609122169987016592012-03-15T21:05:05.877+00:002012-03-15T21:05:05.877+00:00question for Anon 12.09 Where does the poster sa...question for Anon 12.09 Where does the poster say they have been breeding for 10 years.

It's actually above average for the breed, way above average. It is so prevelant in the breed that there is breed specific cancer research being conducted (the ddb has a much smaller gene pool world wide then lets say, a golden retreiver or German Shepard Dog, and because of this, it should dramaticaly help cancer research).<br />As for Petplan and other insurance companies, I honestly doubt they will give out information. Heck, I was just speaking (on facebook) with 3 people last week who's dogues were diagnosed with lymphoma and NOT ONE was told about Chemo or any other treatements, all 3 were told there was no treatment available (and all 3 were had pet insurance). I find it troubling and sad that the vets (in the UK) are not telling people that there are options, there are treatments that can keep your dogue comfortable and happy for a longer period of time. <br />Having lost 2 ddb's to lymphoma, and have another going thru chemo right now (none are/were related), I have done a LOT of research and have spoke to several of the leading oncologists in the US. Being active and outspoken within and outside of the US breed club, I hear of a lot, way too much cancer in the breed and have to think that it's something more "environmental" than anything else (look at those commercial foods we put into our dogues, the fillers, binders, soy, corn, wheat, all things our dogs are not meant to process, look at the over vaccinations).....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-30330509519713557882012-03-15T20:49:11.097+00:002012-03-15T20:49:11.097+00:00The photos have not been edited, unfortunately the...The photos have not been edited, unfortunately they are showing a true pictureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-81720887647102814262012-03-15T20:45:00.173+00:002012-03-15T20:45:00.173+00:00And breeding out heart problems, joint problems, k...And breeding out heart problems, joint problems, kidney problems, eye problems.
