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.
That's too good for them.
*Sigh* “We have to raise our prices.”
“Another batch dead?”
“Yes. I can’t figure out what our problem is.”
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.
Oh they don't use those services. They dump them on a side road when they get sick.
Usually people don't advertise their cruelty to animals.
I read the monkey torture investigation by the BBC recently and I hate humans so much.
Aren't purebreds like known for being incestuous?
So is Kentucky and they seem to be doing alright.
Do they?
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.
Even with all that, there are a disturbing amount of breeds that are genetically garbage now due to decades of bad breeding.
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.
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.
Yep.
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.
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
These are the kind of people that shoot their dog and dump it in a quarry, they don't care.
Parvovirus is going to kill them way before the heartworms have a chance
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.
Nope, I think they're going for Death Eaters
Great Danes only live to be like 6, even when given proper care. These will probably die before 4. Poor things...
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.
Those poor babies. Heartworm is awful.
So is parvo
Did you report them to wherever you can report animal abuse to?
Looking into it yeah. Someone is helping me.
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.
You know.... you know.
These morons are gonna unleash some zombie-ass rabies I tell you.
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...
Weren't we supposed to die from our contaminated blood a couple years ago? Wonder when that'll come around...
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 ;)
You're sweet. And don't worry, I'm looking into reporting this.
Obviously dewormers are only safe for humans. /s
They love ivermectin so much too.
