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.
OP of the original post turned off reblogs but as of 3 hours ago 3/3/24 Deux Face is still alive and doing well!! According to the farm's Facebook she is starting to try to stand and getting better at holding up her head. The farm has been very clear that they're going to care for her and do their best to meet her needs, they are not planning to sell her or show her off to the media. They also haven't mentioned any other noticeable deformities inside or out and have noted that both heads connect at the same throat, and she's lived for about 5.5 days at this point which is shockingly long for an animal with this level of deformities. Go Deux Face!
when i was a kid my parents bought me an inflatable doll of the Scream by Edvard Munch (??) that was significantly taller than i was at the time and i used to slow-dance with it and pretend it was my boyfriend. It had its hands attached to its head obviously so it felt like he was always a bit horrified to be forced to dance with me
