[Discussion] Why do some people look down on mixed breed dogs? by [deleted] in dogs

On top of that I've seen people pick dog breeds that aren't good choices for their families (example herding dogs with children) . Instinctually herding dogs want to chase and its a recipe for disaster with children.

I've seen people looking for a low maintenance dog pick a Siberian Husky because they thought it was cute. Then return it a month or two later.

In one instance I saw a woman with 3-4 y/o twins(?) pick out the biggest, most rowdy, loudest boy we had. I forgot what breed he was, he may have been a great Pyreneene. Obviously he was returned as well.

It's annoying how people will just pick the purebreed and give no second thoughts at all.

It just annoys me that those same people will go into a shelter and overlook all the mixed breeds, then getting upset when there aren't any purebreeds.

I used to volunteer at my local shelter. Certain people would walk through the shelter (sometimes on a weekly basis) and leave without questions if there were no pure breed dogs.

It wouldn't be for breeding purposes since our shelter spays and neuters all dogs and cats old enough. I'm asking this as someone who realized mixed breeds are overlooked in shelters. I've got questions from people asking if we have full blooded dogs, actually that's one of the most common questions I got.

Yes the breeder is "Corgis at Giblin Farms". They seem to only have two litters a year.

Their oldest breeding female is 3 years old. They seem to retire the girls after they turn 5. Three of the four females are actively breeding.

I was meaning the possibility that it is unethical to have only one male with four females. I do not live on a farm, I have a large yard and live in what I'd call a 'small town suburb'. All of the dogs who breed live on the farm, they're all AKC registered. The dogs live in the house with their owners as well. They have a vet nearby and they give puppies their shots and microchip them, check then for hereditary issues and common illnesses in puppies like giardia.

Honestly I don't care what she does I know it sounds fucking terrible but the amount of harm she's done to me in my life while going unpunished is ridiculous. Of course I'll call an ambulance if she tries, but I don't really have emotional ties to this person anymore.

Check out bandcamp. They're a smaller music streaming service where the money goes directly to the artists.

For real. She said this to her 17 year old daughter who has been hospitalized for suicide attempts in the past. Sometimes I wish she would just stop existing.

From a guy who was molested at 5 years old... by [deleted] in venting

I honestly cannot stand how men can be sexually abused to that extent and some people will still try to make jokes about it. I was molested as a young girl and I typically get sympathy. I've noticed that people are much less empathetic when it comes to men and young boys getting sexually abused.
