So cute X3

?????????????????????????

amazing. It’s a beautiful shiba inu. I also own one. like the announcer said, they are very cat like; very clean and watchful.
Other then looking off to the crowd a few times and the head shake, it was wonderfully trained and looks very healthy.

my schiba inu is better than all

I wish some day these dog shows could be outlawed. Most people don’t even realize how over selective breeding has caused many of these animals to suffer painful debilitating diseases. These animals are actually degenerate mutants. Real dog lovers would never want there animals to suffer the kind of illnesses were seeing now in dogs and race horses resulting from cruel or ignorant people who want a unique show dog that satisfies their ego, or to make a profit.

Oh really you don’t seem to know what your talking about. Yes there is selective breeding, and yes some of that results in illness. What you fail to include is that it is because of irresponsible breeders who allow for interbreeding. That is the reason for these illnesses of which you speak, my family has bread sled dogs for years. Selective breeding insures the best traits are carried on, and that undesirable one’s are not.

Also please insure that you look up what mutant means as you are not using it properly at all. If you took any form of genealogy classes you would know that. Next time you wish to attack an industry and life style please be sure to know your facts. Real dog lovers know their breeds through and through and the purpose of those breeds. Thank you very much, please think before you comment so idiotically.

When you speak of best traits being passed on. You mean best traits for the human, not necessarily the animal.I don’t doubt the sincerity of some. Its the many that is the problem, and the business of selective breeding has a lot of dark areas that no one wants to come to terms with.Pure bred horses are being bred with ankles so thin that breaking them during races is now common. Dogs sometimes also have to suffer for the aesthetic subjectivity of their owners and the love of 1st place trophies.

I was speaking of Mendelian genetics & the principles of genetic entropy as recently put forth by John C. Sanford of Cornell. Selective breeding and even natural speciation always come with a price. The reason why mutts are lower maintenance and usually have a longer life expectancy is because they have a greater amount of genetic information, while so called purebreds have had their genomic information truncated through selective breeding.This is why many purebreds suffer from health problems

Though I do appreciate you bringing your first year biology notes to the table on this one it seems that you still don’t really understand how things work in the long run. Maybe it’s cause your too busy still looking at peas. Also noting any work done by Cornell is almost laughable if you’ve had to look at any of his notes. He specializes in plants first of all, and though he has a few good ideas the man argues against evolution in favor of intelligent design need I say any more?

There are dark areas in every area, yet I don’t see you lashing out against the farming industry for modify chickens to the point that they are so laden with meat they can’t walk. How convenient for you. Most working dogs are bred so that they can do their jobs without hurting themselves. In huskies and malemutes there is a gene that causes thin skin on the paws. In the winter those dogs get frost bite and can suffer extreme injury. A breeder eliminates this gene from their breeding stock.
