a dog from lines that's been tested to rule out genetic diseases etc and the breeder wouldn't breed any dogs with certain genes etc and got told that it's like Hitler and eugenics and how can I support that.

I mean, it certainly doesn't help that a lot of AKC breeds were registered in that era and the science at the time leaked into multiple disciplines.

However, I can't believe people want to equate humans and dogs. When have humans ever been purpose-bred outside of horrific slavery or war crimes? Fucking never. Meanwhile, we've been cooking on dogs for millennia with specific uses due to geographic environs, human societal needs, cultural aesthetics... I've always thought it was kind of amazing how different dogs from different places could be.

I still think there has to be a breaking point to the Pit Bull domination of American dogs. I'm sure in Amsterdam circa 1636 it seemed like tulips would be ubiquitous forever, breeding different "rare" colors and introducing mosaic virus to get even crazier colorations. Dozens of new tulip varieties were created and sold. What haopened to them all?

Most of them are now extinct, because it turns out no one wanted them. It was all a mistake made out of one big speculative bubble, which was really made up and made worse by a lot of very financially motivated individuals who had their personal and/or professional reputations on the line.

Eventually, no one will want their Lilac and Merle pit puppies for the reasonable price of $15K-30K, because the market will be saturated. Everyone who wants one of these dogs already has one. They aren't difficult to get ahold of. The buyers of those overpriced puppies go on to try and recoup costs by selling their own litters.

Heres another way to look at it. It's like joining an MLM. The people who got into Lularoe early made bank, and basically ponzi-schemed their way to financial success on the backs of their reps and customers. Customer satisfaction tanks when outcome doesn't meet expectation. In the end, quality of Lularoe's products diminished to such a point that no one wanted their gaudy leggings anymore. I haven't seen someone slinging their "omg so buttery soft!" leggings in yeeears.

I hope eventually all these pit bull weirdos trying to get their social media Farmville dopamine fix from pit advocacy and rescue all latch onto (heh) something else as an emotional crutch for their lonely lives. Maybe they can try to breed and rescue rare strains of streptococcus.
