There should be a parallel kennel show where only mutts and strays are allowed to enter. They should have categories to dunk on “pure”-breeds, like lowest vet bill or dogs over 14yo.

“Most Egregious Truth Stretching About Breed to Skirt HoA Regulations Against Pit Bulls”
“I’ll have you know that fluffy is part Pomeranian. Can’t you tell from the constant, loud [yet deep throated] yipping?”
Events to include “breathing”
This is just straight up false. The oldest dog breed and the one most generically related to the wolf is the fucking shih tzu. Humans have been breeding dogs for every purpose we could need since before recorded history.
But inbreeding is morally disgusting.
In fairness, diarrhea is a pretty common response to a major dietary change for any animal, including humans. Any lapsed vegetarian will tell you that if you have been eating one way consistently and then suddenly switch it up, ya gonna shit.
Not to indirectly defend designer dogs but I assure you selective dog breeding has always been pretty screwed up.
Not every dog is some kickass livestock guardian, they’ve been making screwed up ones since before the steam engine.
Seriously though, the human obsession with playing god is truly dumbfounding to the point where I almost wish an asteroid did finally come and wipe us all out. People really believe they can justify anything…
How about fuck the people that keep buying and popularizing them?
You all need to stop indulging in self righteous hate for licensed animal breeders. I get it, but your anger is misplaced.
Think about it for a second. If you banned licensed animal breeding, do you really think people will stop buying and producing pure bred animals?
If you think things are bad now, you should look at what animal breeding looks like before it was regulated. Banning it outright will only create a black market who’s only incentive is to bred for grotesque traits with even less regard for animal welfare.
The majority of modern licensed breeders are working to undo decades of fucked up animal breeding by reintroducing healthy traits while preserving marketable ones. Not to mention breeders are necessary for producing dogs who can be trained as guide dogs and medical alert dogs.
The problem lies with people who shop and don’t adopt. Don’t blame licensed breeders for trying to temper the grotesque demands of animal shoppers. Whether or not you ban it, animal breeding will continue and it’s only a matter of how much more animal abuse is involved.
Not the dogs fault you fed it Taco Bell
You heard about the theory that dogs are just wolves with their version of down syndrome, so they were more docile. We kept breeding that trait till it became standard. This was in the very beginning 30-40 thousand years ago.
