Genetic Cruelty

...exactly what they looked like was not so important. Weak dogs, aggressive dogs, dogs that had trouble having puppies were simply destroyed. Over the last century, dogs have largely ceased to perform the jobs of hunting, fighting and herding and have largely been bred for the show ring. Since veterinary help is always available, show winning dogs that have poor temperament, crook bones or problems having puppies have commonly been used at stud. Th... read more

Three breeds stood out as nasty pieces of work. Can you guess the three breeds? They were the Maremma Sheepdog, Maltese and Australian Cattle Dog... read more

Designer dogs

...solute tragedy that these groups are working against the best interests of dogs. In the good old days dogs were crossed with any other dog which would produce the best result. About the turn of the century a piece of paper was brought in called a pedigree, and the pedigree meant more than the dog. That piece of paper has all but destroyed a lot of wonderful dog breeds. Out crossing them will make the breeds for the next millennium, and they’ll be... read more
