Arooroomom Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I work at a kennel and we have a groomer on site 6 days a week. This woman comes in today with an appointment for her 2 Miniature Schnauzers (male and female) she had the male before, but has just recently gotten the female. She's talking to the groomer and when he leaves she comes back to me quickly and says "Oh, just so you know... the female may be pregnant. She was in heat and well.. you know what happens!" She laughed and walked out. I wanted to smack the crap out of her! So I went back into the grooming room to tell our groomer to "be gentle" and I saw the female in question (had not seen her yet.) She's not even a well bred Schnauzer! I seriously would NOT have been able to tell this dog was a Schnauzer unless someone told me! Seriously, this is why the US really pushes spay/neuter... because of morons like this! Ugh after seeing this pretty much daily you'd think i'd get used to it... NOT. And then I went to sign up for my gym membership and I had to stop at Petco on the way home for cat food. I'm walking around the store and I see they have a new electric fence section. The first package I see has a picture of a Siberian Husky wearing the collar that goes with the fencing. "For the most troublesome breeds" How many people are going to see that and think they've found the freaking answer to their prayers?!? UGH! Seriously I wanted to kick the whole thing down! But had to settle for swearing loudly and turning all the boxes the opposite direction so no one would see. Just what we need... more people thinking they're going to "outsmart" their Huskies with an electric fence. /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valhalla Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thor jumped an electric fence to eat the chickens on the other side ( theres a joke in there) so much for the fence company lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbysowner Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 people and their misconceptions.....what can you do? most people can't even tell what a siberian husky looks like, but they are quick to judge your dog when you tell them it's a husky just because they have heard a lot of bad stuff. Some people even run away from my puppy thinking he's gonna bite, when all he wants is sniff you and maybe lick your hand to see if you have treats....and if you feel some teeth don't freak out!!!! dogs' mouths have teeth people!!! doesn't mean they will bite you. I vote for passing a law that requires stupid people to wear shock collars every time they do something stupid like creating an electric fence for dogs.

Ron Tao&Sky Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 The mind boggles. What ever next. In Dover you have Chavs walking round the streets with Huskies as if they where trophies or items of fashion. ........Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"For the most troublesome breeds" While I know e.fences don't really work on huskies , my breeder used them for his dogs successfully. I think in his case it was the combination of training with the boundary system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #2 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 My last girl, Stormy...dug through the invisible fence wire, screaming all the way. Then she figured out how to get under it without being shocked...and learned to get out faster than before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvinandmommy Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 My parents have a German Shepard/Lab mix, I guarantee he would just walk right through it like nothing was there. I would never use one for my Husky or any dog for that matter.....same with those collars that are supposed to go off when your dog barks. Those collars are a joke just like the electric fence. Electric fences I guess are for people that think their yard would look bad with a fence and dont have a dog bigger then a chihuahua.

Shadowpup Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Near me there is a lady that collects huskies with out training them. She doesn't flea treat them either.. Some people really pee me off. There are tons of people who go out and get one because they think it's cool, before thinking about what comes with such a high energy breed.
