Why Pure Breeding Of Dogs Should Be Banned - GoFuckYourself.com

Caligari · 09-06-2011, 08:57 AM

"In purebred dogs, intentionally breeding dogs of very similar appearance over several generations produces animals that carry many of the same alleles*, some of which are detrimental. This is especially true if the dogs are closely related. This inbreeding among purebreds has exposed various genetic health problems not readily apparent in less uniform populations. Mixed-breed dogs are more genetically diverse due to the more haphazard nature of their parents' mating. "Haphazard" is not the same as "random" to a geneticist."

In addition there are millions of dogs in shelters awaiting owners in animal shelters across the world, therefore a moratorium on pure breeding dogs should be put in place globally for a minimum of 10 years.

And remember, its far more inexpensive to pick up a pooch from your local shelter

This has been a public service message from Caligari.

That is all.

*One of two or more forms of a gene. Sometimes, different alleles can result in different traits, such as color

licensed breeders screen for birth defects and linear breeding practices aren't used with most breeds unless there is an extreme shortage of them, and even that is controlled so this is false.

it's because of unlicensed breeders that you have over crowded shelters and dogs with horrible birth defects...

Granted there is a huge problem with unlicensed breeders. There are so many cases of these fucked up puppy farms run by complete morons, but more so I think it's the HUGE issue of not spaying/neutering dogs and cats.

After so many years of getting the word out the problem still remains.
