yeah, so growing up, my dad got a CockaPoo in a bar for free, brought it home. She was a great dog.
Fast forward thirty years later, I paid $800 for one. The breeder was definitely crazy.
My kids still have that dog. She is thirteen, riddled with tumors. An FS2 if that makes sense.
That free bar dog was way better. She lived to be seventeen.
Mutts rule. I canāt imagine paying a breeder.
I canāt even pass their security clearance/owners tests/superserious dog stuff.
Iāve been in the drawings vault where they keep the design and engineering secrets of the nuclear Navy, but I canāt get a freakin dog off of some freaky goth girl with neck tats.
. . . Go on.
My family always got mutts from shelters, but my wifeās family got into pure breeds to try to make money. Now Iām stuck with this guy.
Heās a loveable idiot and is going to die a virgin since the breeder they bought him from required her permission to breed him and they never did.
Just let genetics do their own thing.
Thats a good doggy. 
His name Is Tristan. 14 years old, but still likes to chase coyotes and deer in the yard, and is a whore for beef bones and french fries.
When his nails were in better shape I had to rescue him from a tree because raccoons exist.
Tristan Ludlow?
Ahh, that would have been good. But no, Tristan and Isolde. Wife was actually pissed that she wasted the name on a dog instead of our son.
Now, THIS ^^ is a hot take. 
I actually named an old dog of ours a name my wife wanted for a son, because I didnāt want the name for a son.
I know there are breeders that do this and I think itās a red flag. Regardless, I donāt believe itās something they can legally enforce. Itās your dog, your property; what rights do they have when it comes to what you do with it? The only thing they can legally do has to to do with papers. They can make it so you wonāt be able to register the puppies with the AKC.
$800 lol I freakin wish this dog was $800ā¦
This breeder sent us a daily schedule for the dogā¦ Like: 6:45-7AM let dog out. 7AM 1/4 cup food. 7:15: playtime. 7:45: rest. I think it ended at 10PM.
Itās fuckin nuts, man. Iāll never deal with this again.
Get a working dog from a breeder who breeds those dogs to be working dogs. Itās a different experience.
I wouldnāt care about the money.
I donāt want to be a weekend dad and not see my kids every day. That is the biggest blow imo as a father.
Itās weird how men will complain about paying child support when they would be paying to take care of their kids even if they were married.
Can someone explain the hype around San Diego?
I felt trapped when I went
Thatās just California. Itās a state of control freaks.
They say the weather, but they leave out the āJune gloom ā and the other humidity issues. It used to have a cool beach vibe, but has changed over the last 15 years or so.
Not really. I would be happy to take my kids shopping, to cook for them, to spend money on them.
I am not happy handing over money for child support so my wife can buy new furniture, appliances, redo her kitchen, take vacations with the kids.
AITA?
It has been a while since I have been there, but as I recall, the weather, the coast, the Zoo, the fish tacos.
California is geographically stunning.
Socially, also stunning - not in a good way.
