Hmmm, not sure why they'd need to know that, do religous people treat pets better or worse than non religious people? I'm not sure who would be nicer...

Well I was guna say that I know places like China is it, eat dog...
But I mean they're generally Buddhists, but I doubt people would buy a pup to eat lol.
Not sure if that's what muslims think, could be, all I know is it's them that don't eat pork (I think) but don't know their beliefs on dogs :S

this has some info on dogs and the Muslim faith. Still an odd question to be asked by a breeder.

I know Muslims don't agree with having dogs in the house, but then they'd never try to buy a pup surely?? I agree it's a very strange question to ask. I wonder if he'll answer your email?

So strange... If I was asked I would say none of your bloody business!! I can't see how religion would play a part, unless you were really really strict...I have heard of people abandoning their dogs because they said the dog couldn't go to heaven or something.
p.s I am no religion!

Im stumped and find it hard to find anything constructive to say about a question like that.
Maybe they are strict whatevers and dont want their dog brought up in another religion???
That was said totally tongue in cheek. Most religions dont have anything special in relation to animals other than method of slaughter for food animals. I just cant think of any religion that would be bad to animals so you wouldnt want to sell to them so I just dont see why its a question that should be asked.

I have heard there is a problem with some Muslims and dogs due to the fact that Muslims pray 5 times a day.
Prior to prayer Muslims have to be clean, they wash etc and some believe that if dog's saliva or fur gets on their clothes then they would have to change their clothes as well - not always an option of course.
To avoid this being a problem some Muslims do not have dogs as pets or like dogs being near them.
I don't know how accurate this is but it even if it does it does not explain why a dog breeder would be asking this question, which I think is an intrusion to be honest. are they also going to ask you how much money you have in your bank to make sure you can afford to keep the dog?
