(15,389 posts)Dogs are still being forced by humans to perform for some arbitrary distinction of somehow being the best in the world, encouraging massive in-breeding to keep whatever breeds are made popular each year, pure, creating genetic diseases that shorten their lives as well as enjoyment of said lives.

(15,389 posts)Everyone seems to know what their dogs lineage is, and what used to be a mutt is now a Doberlabradoodle.
In fact, this was the marketing ploy of an animal shelter in South America (I think). You don't have a mutt - you have a dog with a unique lineage. It worked too.
As for what I said before... it's pretty much institutionalized animal abuse.

(65,151 posts)It was such a big deal back then that they would reschedule WWE shows to accommodate the doggies.
My puppy loves for me to have that on, but there was space stuff on the Science Channel last night, so only saw bits and pieces.

(28,394 posts)They spent time on each breed, which wasn't done in the past. Whoever had it the past few years would skip over many breeds. I was delighted to see the Cardigan Welsh corgi finishing second in Herding!!
They also showed the rarer and "newer" AKC breeds, which was informative. Love that Pumi!!
Could they be any cuter??!!
