LabraMuts is Starting to Sound Good

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Spud and I took a different route on our walk the other day and I want to say we met a ( I don't know what to politely call him ) man who was painting a garage--(in 37 degree temperature, yeah right, that paint will stick?? ).

He approaches me at the end of the drive.

I have shorted the conversation, but you truly don't want to hear it all and it took me a while to run like hell out of there:

Man: What type of dog is that?
Me: A poodle/retriever mix ( I just didn't want to explain )
Man: Oh, is that what they look like. You got one of 'em In Breeds
Me: Ah, well, it's a cross breed
Man: I breed dogs. I got a cane corso mastiff for a great price. She ain't no good for show because her legs are crooked, so I'm going breed her. Gotta get my money out of her at least. blah blah here.... all about the price and the deal and crooked legs and hips.
Me: ( thinking to myself) oh my god, WT*%@#
Man: I should in breed my mastiffs and my pit bulls. They would make a great lookin inbreeds. Yeah, I got 7 dogs I could in breed.

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Oh no, he was " not right". It was hard to get away from the idiot. I spent enough time in the conversation to make my own amateur psychological evaluation. LOL If I could have, I would have him committed. Maybe, since he was a painter, he inhaled way to many fumes or as many of us have assumed, he was an inbreed.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Any possibility he wasn't serious?

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Doesn't this conversation spawn a variety of emotions. It's funny at first because he asked if I had an In Breed. Then it's scary because he wants to breed an animal that should not be breed.
This also reminds us to research our purchase when looking for a good breeder--any of us could answered an ad this guy puts in the paper--remember he has got to get his monies worth!! It's sad because there are a lot more of him ( a true inbreed) out there selling puppies.

This really made me think, laugh, worry, feel sick, and laugh again.

One of the funnier stories I've heard in a long time, thanks for the laugh!

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Great idea Lorraine. Spud and I may head that way this evening. Thank you.

What a bizarre guy... I would run too...

[Lorraine Bromley]

Maybe ask the people who live there for the info on this guy for a reference and then you'll have his info to follow up with. Thank God he doesn't live near you.

[Lorraine Bromley]

report him to the local ospca for running a breeding mill. check local laws permitting limits of pets in your area? Maybe 7 is too many. And some will get rescued. Report he isn'tmedically treating dogs with defects and or other health issues by his own admission. They have to follow up on all complaints so this may put a damper on his exploits if he knows big brother is watching him. If he can talk to a stranger about his stupitidy then he is likely not keeping these dogs in regular vet visits maybe unkept areas fecces who knows. See what you can do, who knows maybe what happens from your report may mean a better life for those 7 plus whomever that also effects that this ignoramous has been in contact with and spread his wisdom too as well.
