Stupid, stupid man!!!


Agh!!!!!

Just had our electricity meter fixed as it was hanging off the wall. Before I let him get Blued, I asked was he ok with dogs. He said yes as he had dogs himself. Now here comes the good bit............
When he saw Blue he asked me if he was deaf as he knows about boxers and most of the white ones are deaf!!!! My reply, only if he doesnt like what you are saying or wants to be.
Wasnt I good? Easy seen I'm not well or I would have got on my soap box!

LOL! I'm very proud of your restraint Jac! I've never heard of white boxers being mostly deaf, or have I missed something?

They can be Alex but it is quite rare, although breeders used to say all whites were deaf to justify culling them at birth. The reason for that was because the Kennel Club wont recognise a white boxer as the breed standard states that no more than one third of the body should be white and they couldnt sell white pups for the same money as say brindle or reds.

That's just stupid!!!!! So because they can't sell a white pup for the same money as a brindle or red, they kill it!!!!!! Sick!

Re: Stupid, stupid man!!!


They used to. I think a few breeders still do but it's a hard thing to prove.
I really get on my soap box about this. This man shoulld appreciate I'm not well or he would have left with bleeding ears hehe with the verbal ear bashing he would have got.
What really got me was when he said he new about boxers!!! Idiot!!!
