My purchase of a well bred purebred dog does not condemn another dog to death.
My purchase of a well bred purebred dog does not result in an uptick in the shelter dogs.
My desire to have a dog with predictable temperament from a healthy line does not result in another dog not getting adopted at the shelter.
My careful research on the most responsible breeders who meet all requirements is not the problem. It's not what you should be mad at.
It's not who you should blame.
I am not the one who irresponsibly brought these dogs into this world and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders aren't the ones bringing these dogs to animal shelters either.
It's my home, my life and my choice what kind of dog I want to bring in. Maybe I need a working dog, sport dog, show dog or just a companion dog of a certain breed that suits me best.
Whatever reason I choose to support a reputable breeder, it will not send an animal protection dog to death.
A breeder who does health tests, temperament tests and titling of their dogs does not contribute to the number of stray dogs.
The number of stray dogs in the world is a problem, but it's not a problem made worse by reputable breeders or those who buy from them.
Your neighbor who gets a "purebred" dog without papers because they're cheap is contributing to the problem.
Your friend who spontaneously bought a puppy from Petland is contributing to the problem.
The person scrambling to pump out the hottest designer mix ASAP is contributing to the problem.
Your relatives who have to get their dog bred once "so she can experience what it's like to be a mother" or because "she's such a good/cute/sweet girl" are contributing to the problem.
Your old school mate who bought a working dog with lots of energy without taking the time to research its needs and character who ultimately sees it doesn't fit his lifestyle is the problem.
A reputable breeder offers lifetime support. A serious breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter from the start.
It's understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you look closer, you'll find that your anger is misplaced.

And THIS is WHY we need passionate people fighting for the survival of our much loved purebred dogs…  they are part of our story; they are an important thread woven into the fabric of our varied cultures…
How tragic to have lost Dalbo
CLEARLY, what a magnificent animal he was!

https://www.facebook.com/share/vpSFxey1nXYyqdbR/?

Here is one of only 3 or 4 photos in existence picturing the extinct Dalbo dog (Dalbohund), a cattle dog breed in Sweden that went extinct in 1913.

The first time the breed is mentioned is in Gunno Brynolphi Blutherus' (*1609-+1657) book Dalia printed in 1632 AD.

The stories that remain tell of a legendary giant dog who killed wolves, took on marauding brown bears, and defended small children who had got lost in the deep Swedish forests. There are also stories of Dalbo dogs who fought to the death saving humans from wolfpacks.

Genetics are AMAZING; They are POWERFUL. As preservation breeders we work Hard with hearts full of passion, to protect the genetics & therefore the health & wellbeing of our breed’s future generations.
I have owned & loved my fair share of Mutts in my lifetime - but it breaks my heart when the hard work & dedication, & the integrity of such beautiful animals are disregarded & jeopardized….
in mixing two breeds,  two sets of defects (those from each breed) are introduced …
leaving double the potential for devistating health issues!!
further to this, the more backyard breeders, puppy mills & producers of “mutts” are supported, the fewer purebreds are produced thus, once again bottlenecking a valuable gene pool… it breaks my heart.

Mutations changed their color and might have thrown their social order out of whack

I love this so much! Everyone knows the Queen loved her Corgis.

This is the first memorial statue to the late Queen. It was unveiled a few days ago at Oakham, Rutland on what would have been her 98th birthday.

for any of our families out there (if you are Available for this) learning from credible sources is ALWAYS. good thing - THIS is an Excellent Resource!! I also hope that each one of our pups is spared this in their lifetime!

Hemangiosarcoma is an extremely aggressive cancer and is very common in our dogs. In fact, the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study reports that HSA is the most common cancer for goldens. But it strikes other breeds too, young and old. 💔

(Angiosarcoma, its human equivalent, is much less common but just as deadly)

How to get closer to finding a cure?

Our team at the Canine Cancer Alliance has been meeting with a variety of experts including veterinary oncologists, cancer research scientists, human oncologists (angiosarcoma experts), and biotech startups.

We'd like to invite you to the Hemangiosarcoma Webinar next week, where we'll share some of the key findings about this dreaded disease including:

➡️ Immunotherapy treatment options for HSA
➡️ Adding propranolol to HSA treatment (recent data)
➡️ Blood tests for HSA detection and monitoring
➡️ New promising research directions

Please join us on April 2nd, Noon Pacific Time.
