I don’t think I’ve ever put more love and effort into a singe piece of fanart ever in my life, and this is literally the first ISaT related thing I’ve made. I just needed a Siffrin to stare at me from my desk since I was too late to get the plush.
I know everyone here knows what a crap breeder looks like and we can all justifiably shit on them all day, every day; but can we take a moment to celebrate what a Huge Green Flag this miniature poodle breeder is? I've been following along for this litter, and she does seriously incredible work with them and her dogs.
This is Mostly Mischeif Poodles from Nanimo, BC, Canada.
The amount of work, time, and effort this breeder has funnelled into this litter should be the gold standard for breeders everywhere. Not only does she do health testing, breed for health and purpose (both companionship and sports), but she follows along with puppy culture plus a few extras beyond the PC guide, AND she ensures that the pups experience multiple grooms before they leave her home.
We just see SO MUCH negativity around breeders and breeding - and often justifiably - that it feels really, really important to acknowledge and celebrate when you find a really fucking excellent breeder. I don't think we do that enough, so I'm starting - because I think it's important to share when you find an ethical breeder who does incredible work.
It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification
I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable
