Pure blood has always been the best path to health. That's why the Habsburgs are a superhuman ruling class.

Best jaws anywhere in the world.

These people need to be arrested and their dogs put in rescue homes. This is just basic animal cruelty.

These people need to be arrested and [...] put in rescue homes.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

That's too good for them.

[-] [email protected] 63 points 10 months ago

*Sigh* “We have to raise our prices.”

“Another batch dead?”

“Yes. I can’t figure out what our problem is.”

[-] [email protected] 60 points 10 months ago

Either this person has never had to deal with parvo, or they have and don't give a shit about their dogs.

Or they're just lying b because no reputable groomer, kennel, or vet would see them without at least rabies, parvo, and kennel cough vaccines.

[-] [email protected] 45 points 10 months ago

Oh they don't use those services. They dump them on a side road when they get sick.

[-] [email protected] 52 points 10 months ago

Usually people don't advertise their cruelty to animals.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

I read the monkey torture investigation by the BBC recently and I hate humans so much.

[-] [email protected] 45 points 10 months ago

Aren't purebreds like known for being incestuous?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

So is Kentucky and they seem to be doing alright.

I said “alright” not “great”

Like these ones being bred by an irresponsible backyard breeder? Yes.

This is why you need to research your breeder--good ones put a lot of time and money into avoiding inbreeding. They do things like cooperate with each other to 'borrow' male dogs from one another or even going so far as to buy sperm from abroad and have the female artificially inseminated. They also keep careful records of lineage to help avoid accidental inbreeding.

But if you get a purebred from some random person or rescue, then yeah, it's likely been inbred and not had the various health and genetic screenings that you would get from a good breeder.

Edit: For personal anecdote, I should share that the breeder I am going through for my next purebred puppy thought she had one for me with this litter, but he started developing health problems around 8 weeks old, so she decided she is not willing to sell / adopt him out until and unless he doesn't have any serious health problems. She's clearly very attached to him and it sounds like she wants to keep him regardless. She has already spent thousands of dollars trying to figure out what's wrong with him, including expensive genetic testing.

And this is why the good breeders charge exorbitant amounts for their dogs.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Even with all that, there are a disturbing amount of breeds that are genetically garbage now due to decades of bad breeding.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Oh yes, I agree completely. The encouragement of breeding of any brachycephalic traits should be treated as animal abuse. There are other examples, but that's such a big one.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Yep. My mom's Chinese Crested is the result of a mating between son and mother, so she got it for free. Amazingly, she's a very pretty and very sweet dog with no health problems to speak of.

I'm against the whole purbred dog thing, but at least my mom gave one a good home.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

They can be, respectable breeders will usually do it outside of their dog's own gene pool (mating them with another owner's dog that has the same desired qualities), but there are definitely breeders that keep it within the gene pool in order to maximize the desired genes being expressed.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

To be fair, there's some stuff that was bred into the gene pool near the inception of the breed that can't be easily removed now. You can reduce the risk by avoiding incest and thorough genetic testing where possible, but there's some health issues that would plague purebreds for a long time even if every breeder in the world was responsible.

Sounds great right up until the dogs get heartworm and die young

[-] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago

These are the kind of people that shoot their dog and dump it in a quarry, they don't care.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Parvovirus is going to kill them way before the heartworms have a chance

[-] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago

Pure blood is how we are breaking the animal sick care system.

At first I was confused if they were raising their dogs to be vampires or white supremacists.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Nope, I think they're going for Death Eaters

[-] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

Great Danes only live to be like 6, even when given proper care. These will probably die before 4. Poor things...

[-] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

I've known a dozen or so Danes, and I'd say 8-10 is more typical.

Just make sure they rest after eating and they'll be happy a long time.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Those poor babies. Heartworm is awful.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

So is parvo

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Did you report them to wherever you can report animal abuse to?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Looking into it yeah. Someone is helping me.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

It's not new either. I worked with a guy like ten years ago or something who also bred dogs and he was very antivax for his dogs. I never asked about it so I have no idea if it was just his dogs or if he was fully antivax.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

You know.... you know.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

These morons are gonna unleash some zombie-ass rabies I tell you.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Not sure if this is still going on, but human antivax sperm and eggs were being marketed (almost certainly illegally) on facebook and ebay.

Because the covid vaccine was going to fuck up your entire genetic code, apparently, and you really need pure, unvaccinated donor material for a healthy baby...

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Weren't we supposed to die from our contaminated blood a couple years ago? Wonder when that'll come around...

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Obviously dewormers are only safe for humans. /s

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

They love ivermectin so much too.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I can't wrap my head around these kinds of people.

Vaxxed themselves by and large, but happy to abandon everyone in their 'care' to the vagaries of pathogenic luck.

I hate these people.

But also love your work ;)

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

You're sweet. And don't worry, I'm looking into reporting this.
