The High Maintenance Bitch (Owner’s Manual): It’s Not About Being a Dog, It’s About Being a Bitch

Sister and brother team Lori and Ryan Pacchiano founded High Maintenance Bitch in 2002. Their goal was to create a line of fashionable clothing, accessories, furniture, grooming products, and more for the chic canine. The Pacchianos’ success uncovered a previously unnoticed obsession among socialites — and socialite wannabes — with making their four-legged companions as stylish as they are. Utilizing their fashion and humor sensibilities, the authors have prepared this witty guide

Question by Felidire ♂: Does allowing your bítch to have at least one litter make her “a better dog”?
I’ve overheard THREE people bring this up in different context, in three separate conversations, over the last 2-3 months.

Now I personally think this is a load of bullshít that only contributes to the number of sheltered dogs in the world, as i’ve never noticed a single positive change in behaviour in a female dog that has given birth to a litter; if anything, i’ve only ever noticed negative changes.

Of course, i’m no breeder; but i’m curious to hear what you guys think about this common “belief” that a lot of people seem to carry around. Does “allowing your house pet to have one litter BEFORE getting her spayed” make her “a better dog” temperament-wise?
Temperament aside, waiting until after the first or second heat cycle is the best option for the long-term health of the dog.

I don’t breed so I can’t comment on whether or not it makes good or bad behavioural changes.
Wow.. I pulled a topping off of my pizza and found some guy’s eyelash underneath.

Bad karma?

Not even man’s best friend is backing Les Moonves and his lawsuit against Howard Stern. Doggy Style Designs, one of the leading dog apparel manufacturers, has announced new t-shirts for dogs that put the CBS exec in the dog house.

President and founder of Doggy Style Designs, Jeff Gellman arrived this morning at Stern’s Sirius studios to show off the new dog t-shirts that read “Les is my Bitch”, “I Humped Les Moonves”, “Howard Hates Les”, and “Les Sued Me”. He even brought one for Bianca, Stern’s English bulldog. Gellman, a longtime fan of the Stern Show wanted show support for the King of All Media, “This lawsuit is just ridiculous. The best way I know to show support is by putting ink on dog shirts.”

Based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Doggy Style Designs manufactures high quality doggy t-shirts that represent all dog personalities – from bad ass beagles, to sport loving schnauzers, to darling dalmatians. DSD has over 200 t-shirt designs that dogs will actually want to wear.

Question by Mutt (Mariah): How many times a year should a bitch be bred? (Re-post from last night?)?
Ok. Last time I asked this people were going about ranting that I should not breed my mutt.
I said in my question “I was just wondering how many times a year a female dog should be bred, I’m not breeding, I have a mutt, just wondering”.

So know. I am wondering. How often should a bitch (that has her championships, health checks, alll that good stuff) be bred, each year?

AND NO. I AM ***NOT*** BREEDING MY MUTT, I’M NOT AN IDIOT. I WANT TO KNOW HOW OFTEN A QUALIFYING BITCH SHOULD BE BRED A YEAR. I’M NOT AN IDIOT, I WOULDN’T BREED MUTTS.

Thank you.
Yes, the average family dog *should* be neutered, because most average family dogs are *not* breeding quality. ;-]

Answer by Jodi
i would say 1 at most and you shouldn’t even breed every year. dogs have 2 heats a year and it can’t be good to breed during every heat, right??
