To me, dog is still dog.... now I got purebreeds.... well, I'm getting quite tired of them getting ill because it's in their blood.... Will be getting mixbreeds and mongrels next time. My first dog was a mongrel and she was the best guard.... lived up to 12 years before we had to put her down.
Anyway, dog is dog... now people taking advantage of purebreeds that come in small size. They breed them small breeds so that people living in condos can own them... sigh... value? Sigh.... commercial breeders only see them as cash cows... nothing more. Some people see them as status symbols but a dog is life lah, not a car or a piece of jewel to show off to friends.
Still, we must treat dogs equally. Pure or mixed, they are loyal and loving... sad lah, many people see mixbreeds and mongrels as rubbish dogs... well, they aren't and very true, mongrels are smarter and they get sick less.

Sigh... I got a call recently... you remember the beagle mix kelpie? Well, this lady called and she was so excited over it and gave me info of her home, experience and why she wants the puppy.... then when the pup was adopted, we showed her another pup which was a mongrel... her reaction? No no, I don't want this mongrel, I want the beagle mix. Why? Ahhh... like what you said lah, people go crazy over a dog that looks or has something pure in them... but mongrels? Left behind only......

QUOTE(smellyocheese @ Jun 30 2006, 09:17 PM) yeah. sometimes it's not even how much is paid for the dogs but rather the fact whether the dog's purebred or not. it's ridiculous. IMO, it's people's mindset towards the whole purebred vs mongrel thing. we were brought up to think that purebreds are better than mongrels. I find that not many people actually know that the advantage of purebreds is their predictable behaviour and ease to train. they just want a purebred because it's a purebred (I personally know some people like that). If only people would stop shrugging off mongrels. Hope I'm not one of those people  |

QUOTE(smellyocheese @ Jul 1 2006, 08:34 PM) not you la. hajoh. of all people.  I'm referring to my relatives. They bought an english cocker spaniel who was practically good for nothing and bloody irritating.. a huge waste because his parents were champions. plus they don't even take care of their own so called dog. they send it to someone else to take care. just bring home during holidays to "play". then they got a not so good quality female.. bred.. only one puppy who was another useless bugger.. not good quality also.. also dumped to the friend there to take care.. the female sold to dunno who... they talk so much about the "purebred" cocker spaniels but the way they treat them... now they got a bull mastiff whose hobby is to eat people... come to think of it, they weren't like this with their first dog who was and SPCA adopted mongrel. They took the courtesy to actually care for the dog and all because they truly did love that dog. but the cocker spaniels? more for the fact that they can boast about the dogs. Hahah... thanks goodness not me Aiyoh, I see many people take purebreeds for status symbol... to show off or they admire the breed only.... poor souls... |
