Hank Taylor Posted December 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) The 2 Dechshunds you see here live in this cage and only are let out in the morning and late afternoon. The rest of the time both of them are left in this cage all day and evening. I don't think they ever saw the inside of their owner's home. Although they are well fed they are not given the attention you would expect. Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted December 3, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2014 Hank, That is so sad. All they want is love and affection and yet they don't seem to find it. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Yes Paul and when I pass their cage when they are in it there is that nuerotic barking letting you know they need attention. Hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamande Posted December 4, 2014 Share #4 Posted December 4, 2014 Hank, This is so interesting. Is it typical? Why have them as pets if you are not going to treat them as part of the family? Cultural norms must be quite different, if this is a typical case. Thanks for sharing. Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ece Yes Ece most families who have pets don't keep them in the house with some exceptions. My wife's family was surprise on how we were handling our lab, they couldn't believe how smart and quick he was on command. He is with us most of the time and sleeps next to our bed, why not, he's family:) Hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry if I suggested that the Filipino people don't love their pets they do, but they are considered pets and not one of the members of the family. Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

Hank Taylor Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted December 5, 2014 And here is another dog that lives not in the house but on the porch. You can see the children love their pet. This a typical Filipino dog not particually good looking, they are usually smller size then the Euorpean American Kanine. Here is a shot artical written by a Filipino dog owner worth reading that explains their culture towards dogs. "I grew up in a family of pet lovers. I could not remember a moment when we don't have a dog at home. We have four now. Two are less a old month puppies we bought from a friend because he can no longer afford to keep. All are native. But our story is not a common thing. Most people prefer to keep High-Breed Imported dogs as their pets. They neglect our very own native dogs and called them "Askal" literally means "Street Dog". They have less compassion for them simply because they are not like Labradors, Pitbulls, Japanese Spitz or any High-Breeds. If you bring an Askal with you in a park it would be a funny thing. We had one dog who just died 2 months ago. He was already 4 years old when given by my friend who's mother was about to throw him away because they have a new schitzu. So we decided to keep. Our City pound catches stray dogs and feed it to the crocodiles if unclaimed in few days. But they keep the imported ones... simply because they are not filipino dogs. They are just like foreigners. I remember one TV program who features Askals treated like poodles. hmmm.... so it's uncommon for filipino dogs to have special treatment. The usual thing is treating them worse than rodents. In Baguio City dogs are even served in local restaurants as their main dish. We filipinos fail to realize that our local dogs represents us, our identity and our symbol. In Britain they take pride of their own British bulldog, in Japan: Japanese Spits, China: Schitzu, Germany: German Shepherd, Denmark: Great Dane, Soviet: Siberian Huskie, US: American Pitbull Terrier, Canada: Labrador Retriever, and more."
