Just so we're clear:
This blog supports: Rescuing, responsible breeders, outcrossing, purpose bred mixes.
This blog doesn't support: Backyard breeders, puppy mills, people mixing random dogs, purebred or not, just because they want a litter of pups and/or money, people who breed random mutts because "uwu mutts are ALWAYS healthier!".
We got a 💯 cancer rate on mutts in my house. Mutts get the same illnesses as the purebreds in their lineage.

Sometimes I photoshop our fighters onto yorkies like they are riding them into battle.
This one might be my favorite. This one is also my Knight.
PETA
you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?
you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, stating “ We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work”?
you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?
you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?
you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?
you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasn’t even real?
you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?
Because I remember. I remember everything.
And I’m gonna make sure everyone else remembers too.
Why would they kill pit bulls they’re sweeties
Because PETA does not care about animals. they do not care that these dogs live and breathe and feel and want love like every other dog. they do not care about the history of human/dog bonding and co-evolution, they do not care that dogs and human beings have relied on each other for millennia, they do not care that its cruel and morally repugnant to put down an animal just because you can, they do not care about animals.
PETA cares about money and publicity, its a corporation run by a psychopath who is afraid of pitts as it states in the link: she was apparently bit by one, and now she hates them.
PETA doesn’t give a rats ass about animals. They just want to kill and make money off of idiots who fall of their spiel.
Some celebs support them
ah c’mon, dear-tumb1r, I think you’re being a bit harsh. I mean, okay, PETA’s done some questionable things, but it’s not like they’ve also
-spread false information about milk causing autism based on outdated bullshit information
-used holocaust imagery to compare the meat industry to concentration camps (no pictures)
-used a young man’s brutal death as a way to say “yeah that’s awful but it happens to animals every day and nobody cares about that” (tw: no pictures but the way the guy died is described and it is really horrible)
-dressed up in KKK robes and protested outside of the Westminister Dog Show to protest breeding/pure bred dogs (tw: racism)
-offered to pay the water bill for literally the poorest neighborhood in Detroit if and only if they all went vegan for a month (tw: self-righteous shitheads)
-and they definitely didn’t have two of their workers accept perfectly healthy animals from an animal hospital, with the implication that they would give them good homes, clarify that these animals were all healthy and well-tempered, and then euthanized them all in the back of a kill-van before dumping their dead bodies behind a grocery store (tw: PICTURES OF DEAD ANIMALS, animal death)
-and they totally didn’t get off pretty much scot-free for it because PETA has loads of money and lawyers to defend themselves, which coincidentally might be why the Cerate family hasn’t seen justice for their kidnapped and murdered dog, Maya. (tw: animal death)
Nah. PETA’s not that bad.
(/the heaviest of all my fucking sarcasm, I am salty as a fucking winter road, lord do I fucking hate PETA)
Did you think i was fucking joking, PETA?
I will make sure everyone fucking remembers what you’ve done.
Bringing it back, because it’s charity season and people need to know NOT to give charity to these fuckers.
Here’s something fun. You can love your dog, a type of dog, or a breed while still acknowledging that the genetic behavior patterns bred into their ancestors are something you should be prepared to handle. That’s not a value judgment on the dog. That’s being a good pet owner
Ex: I love huskies. Kestrel cannot go off leash outside our fenced area despite my having trained a recall, because huskies were bred to run for miles and miles and she will TAKE OFF in a way Kiwi the sheltie will not
Bingo.
I love Josie, Josie is also a Labrador x Dachshund mix who will eliminate any bread and rats in her field of vision. She cannot be trusted around anything smaller than a cat or cupboards without child locks. It’s just who she is.
Good post. I think people get in their heads the idea of a “perfectly trained” dog and make the mistake of thinking that looks the same for every breed.
A big one is off-leash training. So many people think that the ultimate sign of a well-trained dog is the ability to work/walk/play off-leash, but like you said, that’s not the case. Sighthounds (like the borzoi) are another example of dogs I wouldn’t take hiking off-leash.
Another one is barking. To many people barking = bad behavior. But for a dog breed bred to hunt or alert (beagles), barking is often natural & desired breed behavior.
Others think patience and calmness are the Highest Training Standard, and then they go and get a terrier, or worse, a herding dog like an Aussie or Border collie (not that herders can’t be patient or calm. they just have soooo much energy & are so intelligent so they need a lot of stimulation).
@ People considering getting a dog, whether adopting or from a breeder:
Dog breeds have been developed (some for centuries & centuries) to do jobs. Not all breeds will fit your needs. In fact, most won’t. There are many, many breeds, and each person/family has a pretty narrow window of what they actually need/want in a dog.
The Golden Standard of a well-trained dog will look different from one breed to the next. You cannot impose your ideal behavior on an animal with decades or centuries of specifically designed behavior opposed to what you want.
If you get a dog with breed traits you don’t like and intend to train them out of the dog, you’re usually fighting a losing battle that sets both you and your dog up for failure, frustration, and stress.
Consider carefully what you want in a dog, and look for breeds appropriate for that.
I’m not saying there’s no way you can make certain breeds work, but it’s something to be carefully and seriously considered. When I was a groomer, the number of people I met that were at their wits end with dogs that didn’t fit their lives, usually herding or hunting dogs (usually Aussies and beagles), and sometimes more aloof dogs that need intense socializing (shibas and chowchows) was mind-boggling.
I KNOW how badly you want that SPECIFIC breed, but ask yourself: Can you make that dog happy? Can it make you happy?
