If this trend keeps going, in a few generations, they’ll all be rooks.

Kristabelle, I don’t think you are a nuffer. You’re awesome! You just told us (nuffers and all) what’s what. For reals.

Kristabelle if that is a nuff I wish they all were worded like that .. Informative and even keeled.

Rather than an attack on people and posts. and usually angry toned… even if it isn’t intended to be angry toned… sometimes words just come out that way in cyber space.

I generally shy away from jumping on a bandwagon, but… there are people who breed animals (dogs, cows, chickens, horses) because they love the breeds they are involved with and truly care about making healthy animals with good temperaments who can be both good show animals AND good pets…and then there are the people who breed animals to make money. Generally speaking, the first group of individuals ends up SPENDING lots of money on testing and training and showing, and in the end, does not make much/any money. The second group just focuses on producing and selling and making money.

The dog and horse world (and I’m sure the cat world too, though I am not familiar with it) are full of people of both groups. It is a shame that these designer dogs (mutts!!!!!!) and these minis/teacups are so popular, and that these tiny, often unhealthy creatures fetch (no pun intended) such high dollars.

I’m for reputable breeding and rescuing animals when possible…but in a capitalistic society, people will always try to sell the new and better item – whether it’s a dog, horse or any other animal… it’s up to us to say No Thanks and make these forays into bad breeding UNprofitable. As long as people buy, buy, buy, other people will sell, sell, sell. I try to make my informed buying decisions as concientously as possible, though what with the way chickens are raised, cows are raised…a million other things, it’s hard to do sometimes.

Shoot, I never intended to be a Nuffer, but I guess I had something to say there…

This is not to say that the tiny little horsies in these two posts are not cute! And I understand that CO is not directing my buying decisions. I ain’t mad atcha.

Keep calm and carry on.

had no idea this blog encourages nasty breeding o.O

Just kidding.

Horses and beautiful. Babies are adorable. Most (remembering pa-sickie here) humans adore little babies of any kind so little horse’s who are born even teenier make most of us brain dead. Absolutely no apologies from me for finding these little guys cute!

Dx agreed. I have a shelter mutt and I love him to bits. When I ask other what breed there dog is they’ll say “Oh, it’s a labradoodle,”
“Oh, so it’s a mutt?”
“>c GARDABGATOBRAH eez a designa dog!” It’s so much better than you mutt~”

;3;
I think my dog is fantastic, we should bring in more shelter dog rather than spend thousands on fancy designer puppies

Starlinguk:
My current soapbox speech involves “designer breeds”. They are not breeds, they are mutts. Don’t get me started.
I’m glad you care. Sometimes it is very lonely having such opinions.
