It is without a doubt, one of the most heinous crimes being committed on animals today, with the only result being that of general admiration for the "prettiest; wrinkly; sniffiest; dwarf like animals whose "charms are actually disabilities requiring millions of pet owner dollars to either treat their symptoms, or euthanize them. Apparently the Rhodesian Ridgeback is bred purposefully with...yes you guessed it ...a rigged back! However the ridge is often ripe with additional problems such as spina bifida, and generalized back and spine problems. Interestingly, the dogs that are bred with a recessive gene and are born without any deformities are usually culled...Killed...for being normal, healthy dogs!!!! The reason? The breeders don't want to risk the "normal" genes being passed into the bloodline....they only want the "sick" ones to be bred??!!
Does this seem somewhat sick to you? The documentary by the BBC looks at many different species of pedigree dogs, and although I have always known that a mixed breed is usually more healthy, I didn't quite realize the extent of damage that the Kennel Club, and all dog associated clans, were doing to our precious pets. The only way to stop this is by refusing to buy into their warped sense of what is beautiful in a dog. Just like trying to emulate a fashion model leaves you open to starvation, organ and body damage, and a really whacked out sense of perspective, so too does this "fashion show" of the dog. Don't do it! Simply don't. ADOPT A DOG FROM A SHELTER OR RESCUE HOME. There are thousands ... millions of dogs...even pure bred dogs ...who are now languishing in some chain link haven just waiting for YOU! And all those cute little Daschound with the 1 inch legs...they look cute all right...but just imagine if you have 1 inch legs and all that body in between....would you think it was that fun....?.....NOT!!
