Dog People Logic

Me: “The American Pitbull Terrier is genetically predisposed to dog aggression. It’s a trait they were bred for”

Pibble Owners: “Omg no! It’s all in how they were raised ! Dogs can not be genetically predisposed to a behavior!! You just hate pit bulls”.

Later …..

Me: “I don’t trust Pants with Children because he gets overstimulated by quick movements and wants to nip at their feet”.

People: “That makes sense. He’s a herding dog , it’s in his genes.”

Fucking Logic.

This is purely from what I observe:

28 Second mark, the dog breathes using accessory muscles. Chest expands downwards instead of outward. 

40 Second mark, breathing shown at faster pace. Dog is forcibly(?) breathing using same method of chest moving down instead of out.

Bowed legs, and its shoulders and chest are just.. yeah

Not sure the source on this.

This deformed ribcage is that of a 23 year old woman who wore a corset. In cases like this, the tight lacing would result in the liver being compressed by the lower ribs and the heart and lungs being cramped into the upper thorax. From ‘The human body: A beginner’s text-book of anatomy, physiology and hygiene’ by H. Newell Martin, 1884.

Oh, the misinformation..

1.) Great Pyrenees (Pyrenean Mountain Dog) is from the Pyrenean mountains.. which occur between Spain and France. The breed developed in France.

The double dew claw on back feet occur in a number of other breeds: Beaucerons are the first breed that comes to mind: 

also occurs in the Spanish mastiff: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/images16/SpanishMastiffRoxy5Yearsold.JPG

2.) The word Bully in Bully kutta comes from the Punjabi word Bohli meaning very wrinkled

3.) I’m hoping that they were not using that “It looks like a wolf” as the meaning as to why it’s called a wolf hound...

This cropped up on my Newsfeed on FB and all I can say is “ow”. Put this poor creature out of it’s misery.

We’ve gained a ton of new followers, so I feel the need to do this again. PLEASE reblog this and spread some awareness.

As many of you know, this is Keller. Keller is deaf and vision impaired (she can’t hear at all, and she can’t see all too well.)

"Oh man, a white australian shepherd? I’ve never seen one before. That’s such a pretty color, I want one!"

NO.

Keller is what is called a double merle. Her disabilities are a result of her color and the irresponsible decisions her “breeder” made.

A double merle is created when two merle dogs are bred together. It literally doesn’t matter what color or what breed they are. If you breed two merle dogs together, each puppy in the litter has a 25% chance of being born a double merle. A double merle inherits the merle gene twice. Normally the merle gene has a marbling effect on the coat and creates lighter spots throughout the solid color coat. In a double merle, the marbling/lightening effect is doubled and the coat becomes predominately white. Double merles also have a very high chance of being deaf, blind, or both because of their white color.

Again, I will emphasize that merle is merle. The breed does not matter. You can breed a merle Pomeranian (yes they exist) with a merle Dane and get double merle puppies. You don’t breed merle to merle, ever.

Clearly, Keller is very loved, but this isn’t always the case. A lot of these dogs are killed at birth because the breeders cannot make money on them. Keller could’ve been one of those dogs. Her breeder was going to kill her at 5 weeks old because of her disabilities. Disabilities that wouldn’t exist had her breeder been responsible.

 Since getting Keller I have set out to raise awareness on double merles and special need pets.

They are wonderful and they deserve homes. (And for those of you that want to jump at me, I don’t support breeding merle to merle, but sadly there are tons of people that do and the dogs need homes.)

I hope you all see Keller and it opens your eyes to what a special needs dog can do. She knows all of her basic commands plus some, she runs agility, she swims, she hikes, she walks with me off lead, she is normal.

If you have questions, come ask me. I’d love to answer.

Please spread this far and wide. Let’s raise some awareness and educate some people tonight.

I know that the Hulk has been sweeping all over the internet as a “pit bull” but in fact, he is not a pit bull. Instead he is mixture of XL Ambullies, mastiffs, cane corso and maybe a load of other mixes. Yes, he is clearly paper hanged. So there’s the issue of gross misrepresentation going around on this dog. 

But I want to  highlight more on the unethical points about this dog’s breeding. I think other blogs have all covered how much of a huge misrepresentation he is. That’s very irresponsible, and so is many more points about this dog and his breeder. In the video you see some of it.

His dogs are not titled in protection. He basically trains them off his backyard and that’s it. When you work in protection, there’s a whole lot more to it than simply biting a padded arm or jumping into a car. Maybe he knows his stuff with training (maybe not), but it is shady to claim to breed and sell protection/guard dogs and not title them or be involved in things like Schutzhund or Ring Sport. It’s very fishy. You want protection dogs to be trained by the best of the best out there, and be involved with the sport and organizations who know what they’re doing. Many people can claim to train protection dogs and do so very wrongly, making a loaded gun. 

One thing that gets me is the Hulk’s INSANE stud fee of 20,000$. Yes, this dog is “still in training”, 17 months and is already pumping litters and this year he will be siring many litters for this breeder. Oh and there’s no records to be found on his hip scores or other health tests. Do they even exist? Where are the records? All reputable breeders make sure to provide these alongside the dog’s pedigree to prove they breed the healthiest and can backup they don’t carry or are effected with certain ailments. So Hulk doesn’t seem to be tested in anything, and if he carries anything suspicious, well, there’s going to be many puppies likely effected and this will spur a vicious cycle of genetic defects - because idiots with a famous dog as the ancestor will breed the offspring knowing full well something is wrong health wise… but at least he’s big and brave right? Who the hell cares about health and longevity! This dog is a BEAST!

So here’s the profile, where’s the records? 

If you are charging people 20,000$ for seemingly golden semen, you better verify they dog is healthy and free of future defects. I would hate to pay that much of an investment in a breeding only to get pups to grow up with heart defects or hip dysplasia… He may be able to knock down intruders in a padded suit now, but what about 4? 5? Will a dog this massive even see 6?

Also back to the issue of misrepping for a minute, look at the pedigree…

Oh look, a Razor’s Edge ancestor is in there. That would be an American Bully line. Not a pit bull’s.  He even admits on his webpage he used Gottline as well. Also another Ambully line. 

But look at Hulk closely… 

He is claimed to be 175 lbs and look at his face. It’s not tight skinned, the flews are heavy and jowley and he has heavy lids that pull the skin down. That is not something you see in bull breeds to that degree, but it’s very common in mastiff breeds. There’s no doubt in my mind someone crossed a mastiff or two in the line and lied about parentage. 

Again, a very mastiff like face. 

Compared to a Cane Corso of similar colouring…

Here’s a Dogue De Bordeaux…

Now here’s a REAL pit bull to compare.

Tight bodied, tight lipped, tight eyed, light framed but surrounded in lean muscles that don’t bound the animal up. Notice it is quite small to mastiff breeds. 

So what does Hulk resemble more of? Not the real pit bull for sure. 

In the video, they allow their child to ride on this dog’s back through the house. The mother holds the collar and guides Hulk around to give a horse back ride. As we all know, dogs are not horses, and their spines are not meant to be ridden around on. Not only that, but it’s irresponsible to allow children to ride dogs. The child is taught is negative interaction to animals and the video shows to other people that this is fun and okay to do with big doggies (which it is not). This just proves how unknowledgeable on dogs they really are. 

Also, they claim to love their dogs and I’m positive they do. But I see a ton of unethical breeders attempt to justify bad breeding with “I love my dogs”. So there’s a myth that if you love your dogs, it’s the perfect enough reason to breed them and set up a whole program to “work” them in. Forget health, forget titles, forget everything. You love your dog with hip dysplasia? Well I guess go ahead and stud him out and call him a dedicated worker. 

So being serious now, simply loving your pets doesn’t justify breeding them. Many backyard breeders will pull this card in an attempt to justify why they breed and not bother to health test or affiliate with organizations. 

The Hulk is a paper hanged, misrepped dog with no health testing, likely crossed with mastiffs and his pedigree already proves he has Ambully in his lineage. He is basically trained protection in a backyard and not affiliated with a legitimate protection sport organization nor is titled in such ways. Keep your eyes open, because there are many people out there making “Hulks” and lying to customers and being very dishonest. All who buy Hulk’s offspring will be getting a mix breed of unknown health quality and that is sad.
