Everyone likes purebred dogs, such as teacup dogs, pugs, Pomeranians... They are cute and exquisite in appearance and satisfy all human imagination of pet dogs. Everyone does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy them. However, purebred dogs are indeed a tragedy for dogs.

There was a previous movie - "The Sorrow of Purebred Dogs", which revealed that in order to breed purebred dogs, businesses ignored the laws of biological inheritance and allowed dogs to be inbred. This breeding method greatly ensures the purity of the dog's quality characteristics, but the genetic defects caused by inbreeding and the resulting congenital diseases plague the dog throughout his life.

After the documentary was broadcast, it quickly aroused people's concerns about purebred dogs. Reflect.

How did purebred dogs enter the human sight step by step?

First of all, the concept of purebred dogs can be traced back to the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century. A large number of British wealthy people spent a lot of money on breeding purebred dogs.

Subsequently popularized by poets, breeding purebred dogs became a trend that quickly swept other Western countries. The United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany have successively established kennel associations, kennel clubs, kennel federations and other organizations, and have set a series of clear standards for the appearance characteristics of purebred dogs.

Since then, raising purebred dogs is no longer for simple companionship, but a symbol of wealth and status. Even in today's society, raising a precious purebred dog is a way to prove that one is "not short of money".

In order to pursue the appearance characteristics of "purebred dogs" and satisfy human aesthetic taste, artificial intervention in dog reproduction is necessary, and inbreeding is the most direct and effective method.

This breeding method can inherit the dog's appearance to the greatest extent, thereby creating an ideal purebred dog. According to statistics, about 90% of current dog breeds are bred through human intervention.

Purebred dogs meet the aesthetic needs of humans very well, but there are more than 500 genetic defects in purebred dogs. Science has proven that every type of purebred dog has a variety of health problems. Certain diseases can afflict a dog throughout his life and greatly shorten his lifespan. It is worth noting that the purer the dog breed, the higher the probability of suffering from genetic diseases.

Take the pug as an example. Through inbreeding, humans have finally developed a purebred pug with wrinkled head skin, a short face, and a sunken nose. As everyone knows, due to the short face and sunken nose bridge, the respiratory tract of Pug dogs is extremely shortened. Breathing problems have also become a lifelong nightmare for pugs.

Take the teacup dog as an example. Its cute and compact appearance is wildly sought after by many dog ​​owners. As everyone knows, for example, to breed a purebred teacup dog that meets human aesthetics, in addition to inbreeding, people must also inject growth inhibitors into the dog and strictly control the dog's diet. What's more, the dog was removed by caesarean section before it matured in the female dog's body. Teacup dogs bred in this way have extremely poor body resistance, are highly susceptible to viruses, and have a shorter life span.

Our common purebred dogs cannot escape the bad luck of genetic defects. For example, eye diseases and joint problems are inevitable problems for Labradors; Springer Spaniels have to endure the symptoms of specific enzyme deficiency throughout their lives. More than 60% of golden retrievers will die from cancer; the Great Dane's huge size causes a huge burden on the heart; the pit bull's nose is sunken, causing difficulty in breathing, and its average lifespan is only 6 years.

In fact, the so-called purebred dogs are all forcibly given to dogs by humans. Labels given to certain characteristics, while ignoring the physical health of the dog. Pursuing purebred dogs, this deformed aesthetic and the cruel industrial chain behind it are worthy of our personal reflection.

When choosing a pet dog, everyone should not "judge the dog by its appearance", but should pay more attention to the dog's health.

We follow the laws of natural genetics, encourage rational breeding and reduce genetic diseases and genetic defects in dogs. Only in this way is the greatest love for dogs.
