From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) this type of breeding stems from breeding fighting dogs and pit bulls in particular. The bully/toad look gained popularity there and is caused by these crazy overdeveloped muscle which makes your dog look meaner and possibly stronger? I don't know if it actually makes them stronger. I imagine the deformity causes at least a limited range of motion for the dog. But I digress, the look comes from that, and now they're breeding different dogs with the same deformity to appeal to wannabe gangsters who want to have a tough looking dog but can't handle a large and dangerous beast. It's all about the aesthetic of the dog looking mean without the challenges of the poor creature lashing out at them and potentially killing them, because they're POS who have no respect or empathy for animals and will undoubtedly mistreat them.

I think the thing you have to understand about the market for these dogs is that they aren't looking for companions or working dogs. It's all a flex. They will be fed the worst garbage kibble and be left outside most of the time with a pronged collar. They don't want a dog like a shepherd who is intelligent, active, and requires training. They don't even really want a dog to protect them. They want a dog they can ignore until it's time to show off how "mean" it looks to their friends and laugh at when it humps someone's leg or when they feed it beer.

that's rather interesting cause a concept like that wouldn't exist in my country, I'm from a Muslim nation where dogs are hated by almost everyone in the cities, however the country folk all have dogs who are mostly meant used for either hoarding or to scare away predators, the idea of a dog for just "aesthetics" just doesn't exist, event the concepts of "breeds" are rare, breety much every big snouted dog is called a bully and some rich farmers get german shepherds and that's about it

It sounds so wrong to say you can just return a living animal like it's an object. I get it may be better than an animal living in a home with an owner who doesn't want it, but I don't think these particular breeders care that much about the wellbeing of these dogs.

Why are like 90% of bird and rabbit owners literal retards? I've had both birds and rabbits but everyone else I meet just somehow manages to take the shittest care of them even though they're comparably low maintenance. I've had my bird since I was 5 yrs old and I'm 23 now, never got sick, never made her fancy homemade bird food or got an xxxl cage yet somehow people manage to prematurely kill birds??? And ofc it's their own retardedness like "oh dog ate it" like if you have rodents or birds and you bring dogs or cats around it you're literally a retard, no amount of "ooo little Charley wouldn't do that" will erase the fact you're putting a predator around prey

After spending $500 on that bird or more including cage and the bird itself you think she would've cared more. Instead she put a post up on Nextdoor.

>>1167282
Yes. Literally. Dogs that come from working lines or ethical breeders don’t have this issue. They have normal straight backs because they’re supposed to be fit and healthy. Show breeds are bred for aesthetics and end up with shorter back legs. They are breeding all the strength and agility out of them. They would rather one of the parents be sick and deformed due to congenital diseases than one of the parents being “impure of breed” because all they care about is money and prestige. Being “impure” is a good thing because it means the dog has a wider gene pool and it’s dna isn’t being crippled by inbreeding and congenital diseases and deformities.

What’s even worse is what they do to Rhodesian ridgebacks. They deliberately breed spina biffida into those dogs and then if puppies are born without the stupid ridge, they are killed. Drowned or otherwise “humanely”’put to sleep.

reminds me of what happened to the chow chow, originally used by nomadic northern peoples in china as hunting and herding dogs, but in the modern day they get bred for their apparent cuteness rather then functionality, so now they have coats that are too big for them and actually block their vision and mess with their eyesight, constantly in risk of overheating again cause of their unnaturally developed thick coats and legs too small to support their massive bodies

I keep telling people I don't agree with noticeably deformed "aesthetic" breeds such as pugs and bulldogs and they flip out on me because "they're cute, how could you say that!!!" sis they can't even fucking breathe properly, it's cruel.

I accept some level of weird looking breeding when it serves a purpose and/or doesn't harm the dog, like how dogs with extra skin helps them not get hurt if they're bitten when they're hunting. But taking it to the extreme still shouldn't be allowed. Picrel A-C showing a typical American shar pei, and D is how the original Chinese breed looks.

I hate ear and tail docking in dogs. It literally has no purpose other than making the dog look "scary". It impairs hearing, balance and the ability to communicate with other dogs. The ears are often cut way too much and then tightly bandaged (though I've known people who just used tape) so that the ear can take a pointy shape. It's an illegal practice in a lot of countries but this doesn't stop backyard breeders from doing it themselves with some scissors or knives.

So I was looking up pug health issues and I found this medium article by someone who knows how fucked up pugs are and yet still defends owning one

>On the Ethics of Loving a Dog That “Shouldn’t Exist”

>Does owning a pug make me a bad person?

>I don’t know how to say goodbye to my dog.

>I don’t know when the “right time” is or how other families decide that they’re ready to let go of their furry best friends.
>With Emmitt, things were simple. He was a miraculously healthy pug who had lived his younger, scrappier years as a stray before choosing my dad as his human. We never needed to take him to the vet for anything more than a routine checkup. Then, when his time came, he went quietly into the night.
>Things are more complicated with Bianca.
>On Easter Sunday, we had to rush her to the emergency veterinary clinic because something had gone wrong with her right eye. My mom had accidentally scratched it when trying to wipe away some of her eye gunk. The vet informed us that Bianca had dry eye, a chronic condition that would require that we regularly lubricate her eyes with artificial tears. A week later, at the follow-up appointment, we would discover that her right eye would need to be removed entirely.
>The surgery would involve a significant amount of risk. When a fifteen-year-old dog goes under general anesthesia, there’s a chance that she may not wake up again. But we loved her so much that we were willing to take the risk.
>I’m happy to report that she’s now fully recovered from her eye surgery and living a good life for a pug her age. She’s just as cute with one eye, and we don’t regret the choice we made. But seeing the difference in the general health of Emmit and Bianca at the same age range has forced me to reconsider the ethics of pug ownership—something that I’ve avoided for all my life.

>“Pugs are just walking vet bills.”

>“Oh, I could never own a pug. I’d feel too sorry for it!”
>“Pugs shouldn’t be allowed to breed. It’s unethical.”

>Until recently, comments like these didn’t bother me all too much — the condescending tone made them easy to dismiss. But coming face to face with the health issues caused by vanity breeding in my dog had made me seriously consider their stance.

>Pugs tend to be a bit of a punching bag when it comes to arguments against selective breeding.
>Pugs originate in China and have been kept as companion animals since ancient times. They made their way to Europe around the 16th century and can be seen in paintings sitting upon the laps of royalty.
>The pugs in these paintings are typically around the same size as contemporary pugs but have a more pronounced snout. They appear a bit leaner and more terrier-like than pugs today.
>Over time, humans have bred pugs to have flatter faces and wider “globular” eyes. Institutions like the American Kennel Club encourage this type of breeding by specifically mandating these traits in the “standards” for the breed.
>There are many good arguments against the continued breeding and selling of purebred dogs.
>Inbreeding is a necessary component of maintaining a “pure” bloodline, resulting in major health risks for these animals. According to the BBC, pugs in the UK are so inbred that the genetic diversity among the 10,000 pugs in the country is only equivalent to that of 50 individuals.
>It is utterly mind-boggling to think that every dog is a direct descendant of the gray wolf. Our interest in breeding dogs has created breeds like the Brussels griffon, which looks so unlike, say, a German shepherd that aliens would think they’re a different species entirely.

>It’s easy to point to pugs and call them gross man-made monstrosities for how they look. But the truth of the matter is that all dog breeds are a product of human intervention.

>People have a lot of harsh opinions about pugs and whether or not they should exist. My least favorite take on the pug issue is anything calling for something akin to a doggie eugenics program. The breeding of pugs in their current state is cruel, but surely they deserve some chance at recovering their past features?
>Certain breeders are now crossing pugs with Jack Russells to create what they call a “retro pug.” These mixed-breed doggies look a bit more like their ancestors seen in old-timey paintings.
>Being half-Jack Russell means that these retro pugs have proper snouts, smaller eyes, and leaner bodies while still looking like their pug parent. Thoughtful cross-breeding can allow greater genetic diversity in pugs and thus reduce risks of eye, skin, and respiratory issues.
>However, if there comes to be a “standard” for mixed-breed dogs, they have the potential to become just as inbred and unhealthy as any other pedigreed breed.
>Perhaps the kindest thing we can do for dogs is to push down our aesthetic preferences and eliminate the concept of breeds altogether. All dogs should be mutts. But that isn’t very likely to happen.

>The way my dog looks has a significant impact on our relationship.

>Her smushed face means that traveling with her, especially on planes, is a near impossibility. Maintaining her health was always a bit of a struggle because pugs are naturally prone to weight gain. She loved going on walks, but we had to be mindful of the time of day to avoid heat exhaustion in the relentless Texas sun.
>Being a pug owner comes with a laundry list of responsibilities. Giving your pug a long healthy life is takes time, labor, and money.
>I want to believe that I’m an ethical pug owner.
>We’ve spayed and neutered our dogs, take them to their regular checkups, and prioritize their health. On top of that, we’ve only ever adopted our pugs. But even with all of our efforts, Bianca is left with only one eye, and her pug myelopathy makes simple tasks like going to the restroom difficult for her.
>I can’t make any bold claims that I’ll never own a pug again. But when it comes time to adopt another dog, I’ll need to have a good, long think about the potential health risks pugs face and weigh other options.

Pugs are extremely cute and people who say they look like gross abominations are cringe in the same way as people who say McDonald's tastes bad. Something can be unhealthy but still tasty, or in the pugs case, still cute. I own a pug just by chance, I didn't seek one out particularly, and I chose the one in the litter who had a less squished face. She has zero trouble breathing, no eye popping out problems etc. She's actually super athletic and healthy
All that being said… Pugs are adorable dogs and I don't agree with people who say they should just be eliminated from the gene pool, I think instead we should breed pugs ethically by only matching dogs which both have healthier features like longer snouts and normal eyes, to avoid creating pancake faces.
Also dogs like shih tzus, pekingese and some others I'm probably forgetting have squished snouts but don't get as much hate as poor pugs, which doesn't seem fair

Too long didn't read but my legit stance on this is we should just let some breeds die off naturally (not mass murder them of course) because they were sadly manmade and bred for a single purpose and it's our fault, not the breed's fault, it's unnatural and it shouldn't had existed anyways. That said, the process should be slow with lots of love for the animal. I'm basically thinking about the bulls used for Spanish bull fighting or whatever it's called. They were bred only for that purpose and if the """""sport""""" dies, so do they. But if the "sport" dies, no more animals will be killed for the entertainment of an audience. Do you get me? Things aren't so black and white. It's complicated I think

What's cute about this? This is the third result on google images if I am typing in "pug", so I am not cherrypicking here. (Btw the 8th result for me is a legit retarded specimen with bent feet!)
To me this is the face of suffering. The pug itself looks like it is cringing at its own sad existence. I can barely look at it because it looks like it is grimacing in pain. They absolutely are abominations and they shouldn't exist in the same way that people with severe disabilities shouldn't exist in a perfect world but they do, so we deal with it and try to prevent birthing any more by doing in-utero screenings. The dogs that are there should be able to live the rest of their lives as well as they can given their physical circumstances but we should absolutely strive to not bring any more into the world. They should be banned. While trying to breed them into versions with longer snouts etc there would still be generations of pugs with the same bad features as it takes time and many attempts to change the genetics. Do you like the feeling of not being able to breath when your nose is stuffed? No? Why would you punish a dog to living it's whole life that way then? Vets say their gums are blue until you plug them onto the breathing machine while doing surgery, only then they have enough oxygen to turn a normal pink color. The dogs do not want to get off the oxygen. What more proof do you need that they are aware of their suffering?
I wish people like you had some kind of accidents that made you brachycephalic for wanting to breed more of these poor creatures.

This made me think about the other extreme, lc's favorite pup, the borzoi. Apparently dolichocephalic dogs come with their own sets of issues relation to their long snouts.
They're 2,5 times more likely to develop nasal tumors. Other than that, they can have other issues like the oronasal fistula (a hole at the roof of the mouth) and aspergillosis(fungus), but all dogs can develop those problems, but because they have more area there, it should be monitored more carefully in those types of breeds. Generally this extreme is much healthier, since the snout doesnt cause any direct problems to the quality of life for the dog.

> I think most countries would usually have dogs bred for function rather then aesthetic
nah, people keep dogs as pets literally everywhere, it's just that that doesn't necessarily mean aesthetics at the expense of health. in my country rich people nowadays mostly keep both ethically bred dogs and total pedrigreeless adopted mutts, because our activists did a decent job shaming and persecuting puppy mills that it's considered totally low status to get unethically bred dogs, and very high status to not care about aesthetics and adopt a mutt.

idk, i wrote 'predisposition' and not 'genetic' for a reason. not sure if it's just another myth but i heard that after dogs are bred for fights for generations, it takes a few generations of them not being bred for it, to 'clean' the aggression out of them. sounds a bit hokey pokey tbh.
regarding your dog killing a bird, dogs killing/hunting small pray isn't unheard of in non-aggressive breeds. adult male dogs are known for being aggressive towards other adult male dogs. same is with females, however it a less degree and mostly only during heat. many dogs are known to be scared/wary and aggressive towards adult men (based). problem arises when owners are negligent. always use a leash outside, don't take your dog to the park/remove yourself from a situation using judgement, simple as. so many accidents/fights can be avoided if only owners acted responsibly. i had my dog attacked by a husky in a park, because the husky's owner was shit, not cause the husky had genetic problems.

first time i hear about horses with 'cow sense' interesting!
well yeah i know that much is true, but again, not sure about breeding those things out of the dogs, or how long would such a feat really take. take any working breed type dog that has been only used as a pet for generations, would all the characteriscs that made that breed what it is only boil down to aesthetics, or will that not happen considering pets are usually sterilized/spayed, and the 'true and proper' specimens of those breeds continue the blood line, so you always have next generations which excel in what they're bred to do. that obviously doesn't count for fighting type dogs, as those don't have paperwork and can't be monitored in such a way. responsible owners of such dogs only adopt them, not buy, and sterilize them of course. does that mean that the aggressive type dogs will always stay that way?

No. 1186637

>>1186628
it could absolutely be bred out just as it was bred in. you get aggression by breeding the most aggressive dogs; you remove it by breeding the least aggressive dogs. it would take many generations. i don't think that all aggressive dogs stay aggressive, nor do i think all aggressive dogs are aggressive due to genetics. but, like with pugs, there are things that have been bred into certain breeds that are detrimental to the breed. breed standards have been thrown to the wayside now, so i don't foresee things changing for the better on a massive scale. but again, there are good breeders, like old-type pug breeders, who don't breed squashfaced monsters. there are just too many people, and people suck, so we will keep ruining animals.

speaking from my experience, it's because when it's your OWN pit they're lovely. they are incredibly cuddly, goofy dogs. but they are strong dogs with aggressive tendencies and need to be trained and handled appropriately. there are probably just as many if not more poorly trained retrievers, but they are just made to do different things so their behavior is different.
tl;dr, everyone should have mutts and be forced to take a test to own them/take them to training or they can't have a dog. same with babies. amen.

That cow sense came from these traditions, vaqueros prefer QH Spanish hybrids for a reason. SOME horses with “cow sense” are also just going through the motions of what they’ve been repeatedly trained to do and will just act like a mindless drone very similarly to horses that dump their owners and complete a barrel race pattern on their own but that doesn’t mean they were born to specifically see a barrel and know they gotta run around it

i agree with you completely. it's like herding dogs: some have the instinct bred in, some have to be trained to get into it, and some are the oddball out. i would say cow sense is much much more tenuous in horses than herding is in dogs, though.
on your second point, is there anything sadder (i know there is) than a trail horse who has a strap connecting the bit to the pommel and some asshole slapping around all over their back, yanking on their mouth, while they do the same thing every. single. day? i feel so bad for them.

What do you anons think of wolfdogs? I am biased because my family adopted one unknowingly (previous owner we adopted him from didn't disclose and he's low content so he didn't immediately look like a wolf to us). He's the sweetest boy, he's very headstrong because he's smart but he loves being pet and is very affectionate. He has a strong prey drive but so does my malamute and he's very respectful of other dogs.

shouldn't exist. dogs and wolves behave in completely opposite ways. high percentage ones are almost always very unhappy because they have a lot of internal conflict and inappropriate care, which leads to increased shyness and aggression. a lot of people also lie about having a wolf dog or get them because it's a cool flex. if the average person shouldn't own a pit bull, almost no one should own a wolf dog. there is no justifiable reason to produce the cross.

It does take a long time to breed out traits, but not impossibly long. You only need about 2 years until you can breed a new generation, so in 10 years you can already be 5 generations in.

Altough what is percieved as aggressiveness isn't always true aggression in the dog, any dog can be provoked to be aggressive, or "accidentally" raised to be aggressive through abuse. A good owner can keep an aggressive dog* calm at all times, and if the owner can't do that they're in over their head and shouldn't have that breed of dog. But to be honest the only really aggressive dogs I see in person are small lapdog breeds of owners who don't give a fuck about thier dogs wellbeing other than it being a smol cute pet lol

*Any kind of wolf mix negates this. Wolves are wild animals who don't act or think like dogs, they have entirely different instincts, ways to communicate and behave. Even lower % mixes are too much wolf to be a pet without suffering, and they're too much dog to live with actual wolves without suffering. They're sadly abominations who shouldn't exist. The only "good" thing is that people lie about how much % wolf the dogs are to gullible buyers who then breed it and unknowingly keep the lie alive, so people think thier 20% wolf dog is a half dog/wolf breed.

Still a risky bet, the average person has no business owing a wolfdog, especially those "50% pure wolf, 50% dog" atrocities.One thing are as wolfdog as a result of accidental breeding/the coexistence between human settlements and wolf packs, and another thing is to go and provoke it on purpose.

Horse anon here, nothing wrong with the wolf dogs I’ve met but it’s really not necessary to breed them as I know people breed them pretty much for looks only. And having the wolf tag can put your dog in danger of being seized or stolen in some places as well. There’s currently a Zorse trend in the horse world purely because people like stripes and people wanna play magical horse girl by trying to train them and failing miserably and then they have a thousand pound animal that can’t be trained or touched to get proper vet or hoof care in the long run the animals quality of life is affected.

His previous owners did a pretty good job socializing him, he loves both people and other dogs. The only thing that sucks is that his previous owner brought him on custom home jobsites and so he has zero fear or cars or trucks and we always have to tell him to stay off the road. Scariest thing he's ever done is bark at horses wanting to play with them or snarl at my malamute for getting in his face. She's not scared of him though, she barks and softly growls at him all the time and gets in his face to play and he's never hurt her, at most he gets annoyed and gets up and goes somewhere else.
>>1186985
It's funny you say that because we adopted our boy because his owner lost his custom home job and was moving into an apartment and realized there was no way he was going to be able to keep him there. He was kept in a dog cage for several hours there and ended up being able to bend and break even the strongest dog cages. We never keep him in a cage now but I highly doubt he'd ever willingly go back in one.
>>1186997
We only found out he was a wolfdog because we got our malamute/husky cross to be a playmate for him since he did occasionally get bored. We were told he was a husky but he is significantly bigger than a purebred husky (about 110 pounds) and has much bigger paws and ears. When his previous owner came to visit we flat out asked whether he was crossbred with something else out of curiosity and the guy admitted he got him from a wolfdog breeder on the west coast.
We live in a rural cold climate, yeah, we have a fenced in two acres and a horse field beside our house that our neighbours let us bring our dogs into for off leash walks since the horses are all used to dogs. He's definitely not a 50/50 cross, he's at most a quarter wolf and even that's not likely.

Luckily it's legal to have wolfdogs here, but we still never brag about it. We just tell people he's a husky because that's what he mostly is. Zorses seem so unfortunate, people already neglect the hell out of normal horses and it's horrible to see.

American horses are the worst inbred disgusting things to ever exist.

Meanwhile, in USA the hillbillies are proud their amazing and perfect homebred troglodyte morgan-mustang-quarter horse- shetland pony hybrid has a parrot AND roman nose, pidgeon toes, swayback, and two gaits. They also deem this horse should stay a stallion and be bred, because their owner is so proud of it not dying in the process of being in their care.

Not really cruel but i think is stupid just to get any random small dog. I think the dog should have good genes from parents who weren't agressive.

I think most animal cafes are gross and unethical. When I was in Japan I saw one for just about every animal you could imagine. Capybaras, raccoons, you name it. I think cat cafes are a bit more ethical because cats are more socialized to humans but you're right in that the workers probably don't know shit and are just there because omg kawaii. I refuse to patronize them and I hope eventually people open their eyes to how stressed animals can get

I have a small dog (Chipin) and he's sweet as can be, not agressive at all. From what I've observed people can be very cruel towards little dogs, not respecting their boundaries, tormenting and alienating them to get a reaction out of them (barking, trying to attack people) and laugh at them.

I think it's cruel to make cats run a cafe, they are bad with numbers and can't make a cappuccino without thumbs

But seriously, I think it's a nice idea but can be executed poorly. Some cats love human attention and if there's enough space and cats with a good temperament, it's pleasant. But I went to one that's a cat rescue cafe, and they apologised because there weren't many cats in the cafe area, because rescues hide a lot and all theirs were up for adoption. Apparently some people would complain there weren't enough cats? I guess for photos or something. They're not props!

The cat cafes i've been too were great. I don't see a problem, cats were chilling, if they didn't want to see people they can hide and they have a chance to get adopted there. They had good socialized cats and a peaceful enivironment. It's a good thing if they do it correctly.

What I didn’t like about the one I went to was that you have to pay to get in, and then if you buy food cat hair gets in it pretty easily and the food was shit quality and overpriced anyway. It also smelled gross, I don’t think they kept it clean enough, and there were kids in there screaming and harassing the cats. I feel like a better experience would be a cozy adoption center with free roaming, no food, and a rule against kids of a certain age being there.

No. 1225352

Nta and not whiteknighting an unhygienic cafe but of course you should be paying to get in? Idk it just seems like a good precaution, as would be not letting snotty brats near the cats but everytime you mention about something being not for wild kids, someone gets pissy. Shitty cat cafes sound horrendous, feel bad for the cats.

they just opened one in my city on valetines day, and I think they do a pretty good job. They have the restaurant separate, you have to sign up in advance to go to the cat area and only so many people at a time can go, and there is a separate area for the cat area. The cats can also go hide if they want, and they are adoptable. You also had to pay a small fee which helps pay for the cats.

No. 1225739

There's one in my area, they're pretty strict i.e. you have to book a time so that there's not too many people in the cat area at once, "rest hours" for the cats, areas off-limits to customers so overwhelmed cats can hide, and iirc they require everyone to be 16+. All the cats are up for adoption and they've been very successful. They basically operate as an arm of one of the local rescue shelters. As long as the people involved know their shit they can be fine, but of course there's plenty of irresponsible people out there.

How do you react when someone close to you gets an unethical dog?

An online friend got a teacup dog and they have commonly terrible health issues. One of those commercial products that are cruel to create and shouldn't exist. But she already has the dog and she doesn't know and is happy about how cute it is.

I don't want to normalize it, because other people think it's cute and want one too, but I also don't want to completely shit over her dog and basically make her feel evil for supporting what amounts to animal torture.

No. 1225834

>>1225781
maybe try to warn her about the health issues in a kind, concerned way. like, "hey i know these dogs are prone to having x issue, so just keep an eye out to prevent longterm issues and suffering" etc, and that should open the conversation to a deeper issue, potentially. just try to make it like an "i'm looking out for you and the dog" thing that might open her eyes the further you get into the convo.

I've visited a cat cafe before. It was quite nice, cats were mostly sleeping and people were just observing them. Eventually a mother with her child entered and they proceeded to go from cat to cat, prodding and poking them awake. It made me realise that there was no staff watching to make sure people aren't acting up like this, and I started feeling really bad for the cats. Not really into the idea anymore.

Any fellow ausfags noticed a massive influx of

- Pitbulls (marketed as ‘Americans bully’ or ‘red nosed staffys’)
- Dingo hybrids in suburban families

I know staffys are popular here and I don’t really mind them but the amount of pitbulls being walked off leash under the guise of being a staffy x at my local dog park is insane. People seem to think that just because they’re restricted idiots won’t backyard breed them/have them as ‘rescue’ pets. I don’t even hate them I’m just well aware that certain breeds are not suited being handled by inexperienced handlers/everyday people. Seen them on our version of craigslist where they won’t mention the real breed until the very end of the description to not get in trouble.

Dingo hybrids are becoming so common as well. People get them expecting a big, skinny, slightly more aloof shiba or cattle dog.

I don't have any dogs myself, but I really like dobermans. They're just so beautiful and cute to me, and they're good protection dogs. I also like cane corsos for the same reasons. Won't be owning either anytime soon though.

I don't really have a least favorite. Maybe pugs? Not because there's anything wrong with the pugs themselves, it's because what people have done to them is so cruel. Their quality of life is so poor and I feel really bad for them and other breeds like Frenchies and English bulldogs. I've heard some breeders are trying to reverse what has been done to them and take them back to their old form.

Not a dog person at all but if I had to choose a breed for myself I'd choose a Doberman. They were bred for human companionship and protection. I've had some experience around them and think they are some the best dogs. If you look at attack lists, Dobermans will be on there,but more often than not you'll see a little asterisk or excerpt next to it that specifies the bite was in protection of its owner. I hate pits and pugs. I think huskies should not be owned by most people but especially those living in the south

NTA but depending on where you’re from “mix” can be code for “80% pitbull with some other stuff thrown in.” My parents have a mix that quite obviously has some pit in him, probably not 80% but he’s the only dog we’ve ever had in our family with severe aggression issues. He’s sweet most of the time, but he’s attacked 2 other dogs seemingly out of nowhere, and I’m talking breaking-the-skin attack. All of our other dogs growing up have been purebreds and have never had behavior issues. When you’re buying a specific breed, you know what you’re getting. Again it is area specific if your local animal shelter/rescue or what have you services a trailer park or ghetto area mainly. It just is what it is. I think that’s why some people are put off at mixed breeds.

fav: molosser breeds, bully breeds, and mutts
least fav: little white dogs, the devil's knickknacks, molosser breeds, bully breeds
why: most people shouldn't own them, never mind breed them. i have an awesome old-type pit who loves people, other dogs, my cat. he is the most snuggly dog i have ever met. he's gorgeous.
e also is leash reactive, fence reactive, and kills any animal, including a cat, that comes into my yard. he is so much stronger pound for pound than my other dog who is twice his size. when i got him he was a year old, unsocialized, mouthed nonstop, didn't know dog body language. the rescue almost adopted him out to a family with young girls. people are scared of us when we walk, or there are always skeevy guys who ask if he's a fighting dog or if he's got his balls (no.) 3 years later he is a great dog, but it took so much work, and he still has the unbreakable terrier drive which is scarier in a pit than in a jack russell.
i'm really good with dogs. i love my boy to death. i will never adopt another pit.

But the anon said that the dog WAS locked up in her own property. The cat got in and sadly the dog was able to get it. That's how things work, do you demand that people don't use cars because then may run over animals? If you live in a rural town, do you want coyotes or foxes to be locked up so pet cats can wander around safely? What if the cat gets into a yard where the owner puts down rat poison or snail bait, the cat could eat it and die, do you ban that too? If you care about your pet, don't let it get into other people's property where it could get hurt and die. And both cats and dogs are predators, both are a threat to other animals but many people refuse to keep their cats in their own houses.
Let's say I keep tiny rabbits, baby chicks or even some small reptiles as pets in my yard. Another person's cat somehow manages to get in (as they do) and eats one of them, I guess I would be justified to "shoot the little monster's brains out" like some of you well adjusted people like to say, right?

When they are younger they are a bit wilder like all dogs, but if you train them normally they are great. Sometimes people say this and that breed is hard to train… i feel like it's hard to train only for dummies. Normal sane person can train any breed no problem, if the dog doesn't have some kind of psychological problem that is.
To me shiba is like a cat because it's not so in your face like a border colie or a german shepherd would, they like their own space, are okay with chilling on their own but they still love you the same, they just don't have the need to lick you constantly. Don't know how other shiba's but mine also liked to be clean and didn't step in mud or water. And it's a very good hunter, my shiba hunted all types of rondets around my house way better than cats could. She would listen to the sewer for like a week to catch a rat. So i guess it's good if the dog has some task they can do from time to time to avoid it doing something naughty out of bordem, but i think she wouldn't be naughty anyway she was very zen, just laying around enjoying life.

I love my toy poodle so much! My grandma and mom both had toy poodles when I grew up and they were the sweetest and smartest dogs I've ever met. But again with small breeds you really have to do a lot of research into breeders. I made sure to check the parents' temperaments and vet records before even considering the breeder I chose, Poodles are so smart and relatively easy to train if started earily. He's in perfect health and doesn't have stubby legs or fucked up back also was easy to train the barking at everything out as a puppy, if he wants something he just presses those buttons that rings my phone to take him outside. absolutely love these dogs. I also like bouviers they're not that common in the states but I've seen a few.

absolutely hate pitbulls. I was walking down the street with my friend outside a starbucks and this random old white dude's pitbull lunged without any warning or promting and bit into my leg. Took the owner 10 seconds to pry its fucking mouth off and then told my friend and I "its not that bad" lol. I hate pitbulls so much with dogs you really get what you pay for, weither that be proper breeding, expensive training classes or both. I can't imagine what would happen to my small dog if it got into a pitbulls mouth. any random mutt owner that thinks 'my dog would never its such a sweetie!' should also be put down.
a dog is a 14-18 year long commitment, you're going to be spending the same amount of time with it as a child so why would someone not be willing to foot the bill to have a pet with known pedigree and also pay for training.

This haircut was historically because poodles were used to retrieve prey from cold water and leaving the fur specifically on the joints was meant to keep them warm without weighing them down entirely. Now I think it's sorta tradition?

I remember reading that poodles were originally bred as water retrievers and that's why they have such puffy hair to dry off easier, & it was groomed with the puffs around the joints to supposedly keep them warmer in cold water. Nowadays though there are standard show cuts and other wacky shit people do to dog's hair. It's crazy to think poodles look like normal grey dogs under their coats though

I think poods definitely can have temperament issues if they’re not trained well and I’m not sure how much of that is genetic, but I have known some pretty mean and pretty dumb teacup poodles that came from shit breeders. I think the more demand there is for literal teddy bear dogs, the more you’re going to get people breeding blind teacups with no teeth and collapsing airways, which is sad.

They are so cute though. They don’t even look real.

pitbulls and bulldogs are a landrace in the same way a sighthound or terrier is a landrace, anything with that retarded dan bilzerian jaw is a pitbull/bully and bred for killing with a strong jaw and a deep chest for shaking and digging in. If it looks like it's bred for mauling, it's bred for mauling, in the same way a sighthound looks bred for speed. APBT is the most well known breed, pitbulls and bullies are a landrace.

getting big isn’t gonna stop a dog mauling you with its teeth, goober-chan. with that said i’m fine with pit bulls in general as long as they’re not being bred though, because if they’re raised right there’s usually no problem. the problem is that most pits are shelter dogs from crises though. and ofc even some properly raised dogs can lash out and the result is just worse with strong dogs. people still breeding them are sick in the head.

Best dogs are dachshunds. I love these little hot dogs, but the community suffers from idiot breeders obsesed with double dapple genes. I want to see more of a return to the standard size instead of trying to make them smaller and smaller.
Whitney Chewston is thankfully a creme and not a double dapple. I am also partial to boxers, but thats another breed that has been bred into the ground. Its heartbreaking to see how many cancers and defects they develop, and how squashed their faces have been bred.

Worst is huskys and dalmatians. Most people who own them should not and do not properly train them. I cannot stand how loud huskys are(ironic as doxies like to bark) and find it cruel how they are kept in desert climates. Havent met a good Dalmatian, all the ones I've encountered were dumb and mean. But thats just me.

I hate reptile breeders.
They keep thousands of animals in tiny tupperware containers their whole lives and breed them into rainbow colored abominations.
I am thinking specifically of leopard geckos. There’s a deformity called enigma syndrome that fucks up their brains and spinal cords. They don’t know how to eat and they spend their lives walking in circles and stargazing.
Funny how it’s called “enigma syndrome” since all of these backyard breeders are too dumb to know they’re ruining these animals. Yeah, what a fucking mystery what’s going on.

Reptiles are just abused in general. Shit conditions, shit breeders, and they’re usually sold to little scrotes who abuse/neglect them. Literally seen a gecko shot with BB pellets, tortured until they drop their tails, and so neglected they are sad little skeletons.

I know reptiles aren’t intelligent but every living creature should at least be treated with dignity.

I am glad this thread was bumped, because i saw a bullfrog dog irl at the mall a couple of months back. it wasn't as bad at some of the ones shown here but the defining trait it had was bad muscle distrophy. The dog looked so tired of being alive and kept sitting down. The man hauling this poor dog around was handing out flyers promoting his business, if i wasn't social anxious i would have went up to him, asked more questions and gotten a flyer but he was too busy hitting on Instagram esque looking women whilst peddling his failed abortion, so i think he would have been annoyed if i talked to him. Plus, i don't think i would have been able to hide my disgust.

What's sadder is that typically leopard geckos are very hardy and survive in pretty bad conditions for a long time, so they end up suffering longer instead of just dying. And they aren't the most difficult to care for, I don't even know how the gecko in that pic got to that point unless they were willfully being stupid and feeding it only pelleted food.

I've thought about breeding my own leopard geckos with good genetics but the sad truth is the market is so over saturated with them already. Same with ball pythons and over breeding of morphs that give them neurological issues. I guess people don't care as long as they can brag about having a pretty animal that they slide into a drawer.

Reptiles are more intelligent than they get credit for, mine will recognize me when I go up the enclosure and look up at me (usually expecting food), and are noticeably more comfortable with me handing them than strangers. Of course they're not the same as mammals but still deserve a nice home with enrichment, any creature would go insane when there's nothing to do

I think it's worrying from an ethical standpoint that disabled pets have virtually become a trend (notice how many followers people get just for posting their eyeless or legless pet on Instagram, the more crippled the better). I don't think a cat that's paraplegic and can't fulfill its natural need to climb to higher place or a rabbit that drags its legs and can't hop is able to have a good quality of life. In some countries such as IIRC Sweden animal welfare laws prohibit dog wheelchairs as inhumane. A lot of these animals are kept alive just for the purpose of virtue signalling and tickling the owner's narcissism.

Also another thing is animal rescues letting pregnant cats or dogs give birth instead of spay-aborting. What's the point of producing more homeless animals, especially as most of these people get mad at breeders for breeding?

>dog wheelchairs as inhumane
Too far, a dog with degenerative mylopathy and other conditions that need those wheelchairs or supportive harnesses generally otherwise healthy. It's like when I see disabled people online and comments say "I'd kill myself if it was me" (like with Loren the forklift accident guy), like it's not fucking you and clearly they want to live. It's just not right. I am with you on aborting pregnant animals though, I don't get why that's even controversial, same as behavioral euthanasia. But on the other thing I really think it's up to the vet and the owner knowing their dog and his quirks, dogs aren't people but they do vary a lot. I mean some people even help their dogs when they become incontinent and help them go to the bathroom by massaging their stomachs but the dogs are otherwise healthy. It's really not so clear cut

Not to be that anon, but I have a "show quality" Persian I adopted at 1 year old from a respectable breeder who was retiring. He's currently 8 with no health issues or breathing issues. He doesn't even have such bad teeth which is like the hallmark of Persians, DNA testing was done to breed out kidney problems long ago in her cattery as well. Sometimes he blows snot out of his nose and makes snorty noses but numerous vet visits basically ended up with " uh, there's nothing wrong with him, except he needs his teeth cleaned"

I'm not caping for this breed, honestly it's very easy to fuck them up, fuck up their jaw alignment, fuck up their nasal anatomy. The majority of Persians people see online with weird faces are from unprofessional backyard breeders who don't know how to breed correctly and end up with owners that aren't ready and willing to take care of their grooming needs. But I just want to point the difference between Persians and pugs/bulldogs/other squishy dogs. It's basically impossible to have these dogs not to have health problems whereas with Persians and Exotics it is possible.

it's nice that your cat is healthy but what happened to the rest of the kittens from its litter? most professional breeders just euthanize the ones that come out malformed to protect their reputation. there is no way to breed animals for a specific appearance without regularly producing some that lost the genetic lottery.

Based on the records of that breeder, she has literally hundreds of cats registered on the last 10 years with CFA, pictures of large litters, and only limited breeders (When I got my cat she only had one male and 2 females that wasn't fixed).

again I cannot speak for everyone, just what I have seen. If you look at old 19th century paintings of Persians they already had short snouts/faces and big coats, if you look at paintings of pugs it's like a completely different animal just over a 100 years

Reptile/Amphibian owners are the the most pretentious,condescending, disgusting,sadistic,heartless people I've ever met.I agree with this 100% they see reptiles as rare collectible objects to show off rather than to treat them as pets.Reptile owners have this weird victim complex because the pet community (or just most pet people)dislike them.if they truly love reptiles and or amphibians they would leave all of them in the wild where they belong instead of buying and disposing them afterwards in a cruel manner.
