WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A MALINOIS BUT FASTER???????

[gallusrostromegalus]

Controversial Opinion: this is going to actually result in dogs that are MORE sane than the original Malinois.

The thing about Mals is that they are very smart, very capable and really, really, REALLY want you to make all their decisions for them. They're extraordinarily biddable if you're confident enough, but if left to their own devices, they get into Descision Paralysis Hell, which is why so many of them are so neurotic- they NEED to have a job or The Horrors (TM) get them. Part of the reason they make such good security animals.

Border Collies and Cattle Dogs OTOH, are very independent thinkers who were bred to make complex plans and decisions all on their own. If left to their own devices, they don't develop panic attacks, they amuse themselves. mostly by doing crime.

Hybridizing a more Independent/Criminal breed into a Malinois is the first step into outcrossing Mals for health/less anxiety.

The Whippet is similar but in the opposite direction: Sighthounds aren't decisive or ambitious the way that Border Collies and Cattle Dogs are, but they also don't worry about shit- unless they have something to chase, they're perfectly content to chill out as a Couch Potato. The drawback of being so chill is that sighthounds are A Little Stupid. Some of them really could get lost in a paper bag.

Miss Firefly up there is definitely very Nyoom, but once she's NYOOMed to her content, she will probably be happy to vibe in your immediate proximity.

I think about this story two times a week:

Frazetta on butts:

[indigenousfawn]

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (? Anishinaabe)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Boise Forte Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

[xiexiecaptain]

Small correction:

Honor the Earth is an organization founded by Winona Duke of the White Earth Nation (Anishinaabe/Ojibwe) with Amy Ray and Emily Saliers (LGBTQ musical duo Indigo Girls and long-time political activists.) You can buy Honor The Earth merch online to support the environmental work they do, specifically to help protest Enbridge Oil’s Line 3 Pipeline routed through tribal lands that endangers wild rice beds which are both a staple crop and sacred to Anishinaabeg.

However, Winona also heads up a hemp farm called Winona’s Hemp & Heritage Farm located on and run primarily by members of the White Earth Nation. It seeks to general local wealth for the tribe by encouraging the production of hemp as a fast-growing renewable and regenerative crop resource to be used for everything from non-plastic textiles/clothing, housing construction and insulation, food products, and CBD products! (They also grow other crops there such as heirloom varieties of corn, beans, squash, Jerusalem artichokes, potatoes, and ceremonial tobacco in an effort to help re-establish and increase tribal food sovereignty!)

They have both a brick-and-mortar shop called The Hemp Market Store and Coffee Shop in Osage MN where they sell their products and others by Indigenous-owned & -run companies! (They also sell those seasonal tribal heirloom crops there including Lakota squash and Ojibwe purple potatoes.)

But you can also buy many of their products online including hemp-fiber clothing, hemp tea, and hemp pasta. They also partnered with an experienced tribal herbalist to formulate CBD medicinal products like balms and oils (haven’t used it myself, but I the CBD balm for my mom for Christmas a few years back and she said it helped her chronic hip pain a lot.)
