alright listen,
first of all thank you maeistero for defending me ,,,ill tell ya what heres the pics of my dogs parents, (these are not dogs off the internet so you can do a search if you want too, after you see them you tell me how "impossible" it is to have my dog weigh that much.) and second of all i dont show my dogs, im not into that i like my dogs as house pets(you want pedigree's i got em!! actually my Amercian Bulldog is the son of CHANCE in homeward bound!!!), once again as i said i think "mutts" or SPCA dogs are amazing, also rescue dogs. They are the perfect pet honestly. Im not here to brag or bloat, im here to share my animals with people. I am fortunate to have the money to buy these "PUREBREED" dogs . When you pay close to 3 grand for a dog beleive me its the best of the best...Im very offended that you what think i would be lying about the weight of my dogs. Im not here to impress anyone, i dont need too. Im only here to educate and help people if they want to know about my animals. ( so they dont make mistakes)
2nd about my tank. I built my tank as with all my tanks from scratch, i currently built my 200 gallon saltwater tank that im waiting to post, because i want to post a whole DIY Tank,Stand etc. I am by no means a pro at saltwater , actually its myfirst tank, but with the help of the cool people on this board (especially Toney Detroit and others) who are helping me out with my filtration, i will have my tank pics up soon. I AM A NEWBIE IN THIS EXOTIC HOBBY, I am not afraid to admit it, but as far as my exotics like stated before i know what im talking about!!
3RD jgrossi
fortunatly enough in P.A you dont need any special permits to keep exotics. i firmly beleive every state should have a permit and complete check to see if the animal has a good home and the cages are "suitable" for the certain exotic. For instance i walked into a local pet store todayand saw an American Alligator( which will be 14 feet + in the wild and weigh close to or more than a ton) in a 30 gallon tank and he was already 2+ feet. After confronting the "manager" of the pet store who told me it was o.k to have him in this tank , i did not want to cause a scene but rather i bought the alligator($400 dollars) (who was in bad shape) and immediatly brought him home and put him in my tank with my gators and got him some medicine from my vet(who works very closely with me and my animals). I already contacted Some of my friends that keep large gators who have HUGE cages to hold these animals and found him a home, and he will be shipped out as soon as i feel he his in good enough shape to handle the ride.
I just wish some of you people could see its not about the money or the "bragging rights" but about whats best for the animals. If it was up to me i would buy every exotic from these pet stores and find them homes, but i tend to favor the larger exotics that "need" to get a good home quick, or death will come quick. My heart breaks evan when i walk in a pet store and see puppies in 2x2 cubicles, but i cant buy them all unfortunatly!!
Psoup, im sorry you got kicked out of your house for a fish tank, i apoligize for your parents not understanding your love for animals. Honestly i have parents that if i saw a dog get hit buy a car and i picked him up (or any animal for that matter) they would let me rehab him untill he was better and ready for adoption.
anyway HERES THE PICS oh and BTW i also have pics of his cousins if you wanna see some more massive dogs!! i doo my research before i spend 3 grand on a dog!!!!!!
