Look at the royals, people! Health comes from natural reproduction, not reproduction amongst similar types with the hopes of creating perfected offspring! Eugenics is a sick pseudo-science that ignores the need for genetic diversity. It should be illegal, I say. Illegal! Particularly given the number of homeless mixed-race orphans wandering the streets, craving love and a home.
Caught on yet? Dog-breeding is wrong. WRONG! I don't give a rat's ass about the predictability of the so-called "pure-breed." For some reason, the ideas that we have dismissed the whole idea of a closed genetic pool as evil (think Nazis), somewhat stupid (royals), or straight-up perverted (Arkansas). Some of our most impressive athletes (Tiger Woods), politicians (Obama), musicians (Lenny Kravitz), and even bloggers (yours truly) come from some extremely mixed stock. What does that make us? Genetically diverse! Healthy! Attractive! (American!)
My own darling dawg gets compliments every day. Every. Single. Day. I shit you not. People roll down their windows at stoplights to compliment him. They pull over to the side of the road. They turn around and run to catch up with us. "Oh my God, your dog is so beautiful. What breed is it?" Sorry folks. He's a bit of this and a bit of that. Snips and snails and puppy dog tails, that's what my little boy is made of.
Dog shows are sick, a parade of genetically "pure" freaks with over-exaggerated features and a short lifespan. Ye Olde Dogge Pound is full of healthy, robust dogs that desperately need a forever home. Why, oh why, would you go to a "breeder" when there are dogs out there that need you?
Don't shop. Adopt.
