What a message that would have sent to the world, and the many dogs that sit waiting in shelters everywhere.

In your articles about using herbs as an alternative to conventional medicine, I would have to agree with you that they are effective in treating diseases and eliminating parasites. As far as I am concerned medical practitioners are basically legalized drug peddlers. I have also been told that a vet has more years of study and training than most doctors. For me personally I would rather be operated on or get medical treatment from a vet than I would from a doctor. I had mentioned earlier that I feel that many multinational food companies as well as pharmaceutical companies appear to be using are pets as test subjects before human trials. I would like to share a link from a program I watched in December about stem cell research done by a group of Sydney vets and scientists, that are using adult stem cells harvested from the patient’s own fat to treat arthritis and other diseases. Apparently the technology is already proving successful for dogs and the scientists say it won’t be long before humans could benefit to. Here is the link for the full article. http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2008/s2454042.htm This is the video link. http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200812/r326419_1463548.asx I thought I would re post this blog again for those who are interested and may not have seen this.

They make the best pets. My dog is a Bull Terrier crossed with a Kelpie - Dingo cross breed, apparently a very rare cross breed. She has a wonderful temperament and is good with children. That's the problem with wealthy people, they want an inbreed pure breed just for status symbols. My next dog will be a pound dog and I am not too fussy on what type of breed it is and most likely it will be another mutt. Whats wrong with owning a mutt. They make the best pets.

I praise him for choosing a pound dog over a puppymill dog. However, I HATE the so called 'designer dogs' such as the Labradoodle. If he picks one of these, then the breeding of them will go up and the ridiculous prices that people charge for them will go up. These dogs used to be called mutts or 'oops' dogs for a reason - they are not purebreds. They used to be advertised in the paper as "oops, my neighbors dog got with mine, pups to good homes only..." Now due to wonderful P.R., they sell at prices higher than purebreds ($1000 to $1500 for a Labradoodle). No matter what the breed name is that he finally picks, I hope that he tells the American public that it is an All-American Dog (i.e. doesn't name the breeds involved) so that we don't end up with a lot of "Labradoodle's" in pounds due to people just wanting a breed that the President has... Just my $.02 worth for whatever that is worth these days. I don’t mind that he has picked a mixed breed and I agree that it needs to be hypoallergenic for his daughter.
