What does the age of my parents have to do with anything - this happened at my parents neighbourhood - of which has *counts* around 30 children all under the age of 10 living on it.

Sheeshhh - did you not understand the point of my original post? BYB and all that, no proper testing or anything, money making...

Obviously not.

ah, its sex...lets face it the whole world is advertised using sex.

What does the age of my parents have to do with anything

You are the one that a) mentioned the age of children in your post and b) mentioned where your parents live.

Ergo, my response(s)

It is difficult to focus on the main theme of a post when so many differing issues are brought into it

breed
age
lack of exercise
lack of health testing
number of dogs
where parents live
place of mating
age when children should know about the birds and the bees

Oh I was having a moan - they're BYB and it's annoying because there are enough dogs in rescues without them adding to it..

SB can I ask why are you always so antagonistic? You seem to delight in taking the written word literally and fail to take in the context completely

Any half decent breeder would never choose such a public place for mating purely for the safety of the dogs, which is precisely what SLB was getting at yet you chose to ignore that and start an arguement on when children should know about the facts of life!



Those poor puppies

Can't they be reported if they're keeping their dogs like this? Too many dogs needing homes rather than all these extra puppies adding to it. Especially breeds like GSD's and Rotties who have health tests that need doing, who knows what problems the puppies could have? Poor things
I wouldn't want a child of mine seeing that, but regardless of that - surely it adds stress to the dogs as they're at potentially their most vulnerable?

Report them to the tax man!

Discusting, poor, poor dogs . How can people do this, I feel mean for leaving mine a few hours a day, even though they get showered with walks, food and love.

Urgh I'd be pretty grossed out too if I saw 2 dogs sh*gging in a front garden as I was taking a leisurely stroll down the village high street with an ice cream! Gross, totally see where you're coming from SLB!

Actually I know several dogs that are mated in gardens, so I personally do not have a problem with this, I do not see it is a great issue to get het up about.

And I did not start this thread........ I just questioned what was wrong with the garden and then challenged SLB on her view that 7 year olds should not know about the birds and the bees...............

the only reason i would think a dog being mated on front lawn is that the male rottie invited himself!! and agree not nice for kids to see that or for the dogs stressing them, out with different people walking passed having a nose

Blimey when we were kids we used to see dogs at it all the time in parks etc?!
