Hi everyone, I thought I'd share some mail that came to me this morning :roll: :
"Jacque,
Crossbreeders like you make me sick. There are enough
mutts in shelters
without you breeding more and promoting them.
Cheers,
Brad"
Here is my response :wink: :
"Brad,
A pedigree does not keep a dog out of a shelter. A dog does not have to be "pure-bred" to be loved...and love is what keeps dogs out of shelters.
It is not the breed of the dog that determines his fate, it is the heart of the owner.
Fact: breeding to keep a dog "pure" involves seriously dangerous issues of inbreeding.
Fact: a common practice with "pure" breeding is to "dispose" of any dog born with a fault.
Fact: almost every breed alive today comes from mixed parentage, often a long line of mixed breeding.
Fact: early generation mixed bred dogs are healthier. http://www.akitarescue.com/Canine%20Div ... roject.htm
I sincerely don't care what people of your ilk think of me.
I agree...you are, indeed, sick. But the racist nature of your "sickness" is a product of your own hatred. It is a result of your sense of superiority. You are displaying unfounded prejudice, a total lack of intelligence and a shameful attempt to belittle others. None of these traits are becoming. Whether or not I breed "mutts" is not the cause of your sickness."
