@Eli Aurelio ik I was joking. Cuz chihuahuas always bark so much. And there barks sound agressive but arent. My childhood pet was a chihuahua jack russell mix.
There's a reason why people say that the breed's ancestor is from Mexico, not that the breed is from Mexico. The Chihuahua is so separated from its ancestor genetics-wise. Chihuahuas used to be able to take down rats and now they are the size of a rat. Being so tiny makes them angry bc they cant defend themselves. Even when they bite, it doesn't bleed bc they are that tiny.
A mutt showed up at my house 11 years ago. Just walked into my garage and never left. She is the best behaved, happiest, and healthiest dog my family has ever owned.
My family always adopts mutts. But a special one will always stay in my heart: Pepe. He was abandoned as a puppy and we rescued him. We accompanied all of his journey, until he randomly died at the age of 1 out of poisoning. I will miss him forever. ❤
In all honesty I think they r very cute but obviously I know they are suffering with those squished faces😔 sad. I don’t like purebreeding when I first heard about it.
It's like liking men with 7 inch long chins hot. Only your family members will find you good looking, so get ready to marry your cousin. Hehe, Habsburg joke.
Can we just talk real quick about how the term "mutt" is supposed to be an insult? They are the healthier breeds, and yet they get a name that instantly connotes a bad dog. Why?
ok we don't consider it an insult....not all of this is true. The way they said it is messed up. Mutts are mixed from purebreds. ..so how can they be any healthier? seriously its just trying to make purebreds look bad its really not like that.Mixed breeds have genetic disorders aswell because each time they breed in the streets or their owners breed them because they want to make designer breeds its worst than breeding a purebred dog because those dogs are so mixed that you dont know with who they mated and what breeds are mixed in making tons of health problems. At least we can determine what problems the purebred dogs will jave and it can be bred out...but with mixes there really isnt much of a way out. In yhe purebred dogs there are different types in the breed some are bred to the looks they use to have and others to the evolved looks which are really not to be considered looks for show its looks for the breed supposedly . Mixed breeds arent bad I just want to state out a really important point that nobody is mentioning because they are too busy criticizing the purebred dogs. Find a good responsible breeder and you'll gind that none of thise mentioned things are going on....choose the wrong breeder and you'll start one of the world's hardest battles to get over with
+Paz Hernandez I call bs. It's simple; small gene pool = less genetic diversity = more health problems and more frequent and severe genetic disorders. All "purebred" breeds have chronic health issues due to inbreeding, often linked to the traits for which they were bred and thus impossible to breed out. Mutts are always more robust and healthier than their purebred ancestors because mixing separate bloodlines together always results in more genetic diversity and lower chances of genetic disorders, unless both parent lines are so riddled with severe genetic defects that they're on the verge of extinction, anyway. Learn population genetics.
I heard a veterinarian say the same thing. She said she wished people would stop breeding them because of how much they suffer. She spoke especially about the bull dog.
the bulldog is the most exemplary inbred breed there is bc there's no denying that there is something wrong with their physical appearance so It really forces the person you're talking to to hear you out
I had a dog my entire childhood who was a crossover between 2 breds. The vet always told us that he will live 10 years. He lived 16, surviving 2 cancers, a lung disease, a traffic accident, and chocolate. That was some kind of a dog...
i have a dog from the streets that we took, never ever got sick, just once from accidentally eating rat poison (?) but a quick visit to the vet fixed him up. eats virtually anything (sometimes picky) but the biggest con of having one is they are hard to train.
Now I feel much better about how to breed. DOn't be brainwashed to stick with those "purebreds". Because do you think dogs care what breed they are when they want to have a fling? It is just another form of racism upon dogs.
It breaks my heart because Corgis and Golden Retrievers are some of my favorite breeds, but Adam's right. Breeding "pure bred" dogs like that is borderline animal abuse. Also, hearing about 60% of golden retrievers dying from cancer makes me wanna cry god damnit
I feel the same. I love Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and their "sister" breed King Charles Spaniel. And being within the Cavalier community, I kept wondering what exactly is causing these health defects? I know it isn't genetic.
I know what I'll do. I get a half golden reciever and half corgi and a half cocker spaniel and half king charles spaniel. BREATHE MY FUTURE PUPPIES!!!!!
My family has a 9 year old mutt and he's never got sick once. We feed him nothing but scraps from our meals (bones, pieces of meat, leftover rice from beef stew, etc) and he always was and is extremely healthy, other than being one of the fastest and smartest dogs i've ever met. We adopted him out of the local shelter and we all love him dearly.
You may have to change his diet as he gets older but my family had two pedigree old English sheepdogs with their tails loped off and one was put down because of cancer (it was where my dad kicked him as well so...) I would trust dog food over scraps but you know your dog better than i do. Hope he lives a long happy life
What School Doesn't Teach You Wolfie while dog food does have all the nutrients a dog needs, human food is put to much higher standards and would have better stuff in it. So I personally think it’s good for dogs to have scraps every so often. But you do what works best for you
Your not alone my cat is extremely healthy and she is a mutt around 6 years old though you can’t tell the difference between her now and when she was 1 she never gets sick a doctor even pointed out how beautiful and healthy she is
@@melhummad9925 It can. It created a neurotic German shepherd dog - I am talking mainly about the show lines. Generally, if I were looking for a purebred dog, I would look in the working lines, or the "less popular" breeds. That way there is less chance of overbreeding (and less inbreeding) because of the popularity of the breed.
@melhummad9925 Outcrossing can causes as many, if not more, problems than inbreeding. Some bloodlines like to be inbred more than outcrossed. Some don't like inbreeding at all.
@@sirtajgill4754 I'm not lying.. I'm a professional breeder of hunting dogs. This has been my personal experience. I have bred as close as half brother/half sister and had great success. Every pup was healthy. 3 of the 5 pups are now foundation dogs of new kennels. I have also had success with aunt/nephew. Made this cross 3 times in a row. Each litter produced high quality individuals. Several of these pups became great dogs that started their own kennels. I have also tried outcrossing. The bloodline I crossed to was totally unrelated. All 8 pups in the litter suffered from complex focus seizures. They also call them sugar fits. Sometimes mixing different bloodlines is like oil and vinegar. They don't mix. There is no magic formula. Each bloodline will tell you what it likes from trial and error.
This is why cats usually live so long, we dont breed them like this, and the ones we do (like siamese) have medical issues and are proven to live shorter lives. If we keep doing this to dogs, theyll barely live long at all. Horrible! No wonder pets die so quickly, weve done it.
- Simplicity Cats have a different lifespan because they are a completely different species. You can have a healthy purebred and a healthy mixed dog, it’s just responsible breeding. Wolves have a lot of a shorter lifespan than dogs do, especially after domestication.
My cats are random abandoned kittens. Our first cat was attacked by its mum and the other cat we found stuck abandoned in a drainage. Both had to undergo a ton of medical things to get them to normal and my oldest cat is allergic to a ton of things. Can’t even use regular cats sand. Have to use this tofu stuff, as after experimenting that seems to cause problems. But cat breeds are a thing. I see these ugly flat faced cats. As much as I love how a Bengal cat looks, I know it’s wrong. Actually the whole pet business is wrong, and sad. Although we adopted stray animals left for dead, still part of the problem, but people into special breeds are worse.
Most of this is true. But he forgot to mention there are good breeders out there. Very rare thou... Sadly. I know a breeder who puts the dogs health first! She gets them teated for everything and makes sure their NOT related. She doesn't make much money because money isn't a priority. It's the dogs health. When people are interested in her pups she makes you sign forms to spay/neuter the dog when it's an adult and asks a million questions. She won't give you the dog unless she knows it's going to a forever home. After her female gives her 2-3 litter with long gaps in between; she spays them because she doesn't like breeding them anymore after that. She's been doing this for 30+ years and only has great reviews. Her dogs live very long lives too of 15+ years. It's just sad there aren't many good breeders, and a lot of puppy mills
they aren't that rare. there are nowhere near as many purebred dogs in shelters as mutts. Alot of breeders take their dogs back if they can not be re homed. Not that there anything wrong with mutts, but no one talks about those stats. I go to shelters and see purebreds often but the mutts from irresponsible breeders who dont give a shit are rampant., its pretty obvious even if people are breeding for aesthetics they do seem to look after their dogs way more than mutt breeders as a whole.
Well no, most of this is wrong. Better, it starts from the wrong assumption that there's natural and unnatural dogs. Primitive dogs weren't muts, but Spitz and so called "primitive dogs"
Does the breeder only breed in an area without dog over populations and does she totally disregard the idea of purebreed to instead maximize the pups health? If not, no, not an ethical breeder.
Good breeders are still inbreeding animals, no matter how many waivers they have customers sign and no matter how carefully they choose the mating pairs, which are still closely related by virtue of being the same breed. With the number of strays that exist, it's far and beyond more ethical to not breed at all.

I see you have a corgi. Don't despair! I read about a study that indicated that mutts have more behavior problems. While behavioral differences between mutts and purebreds have not been studied a lot, neither have the health differences. And dogs from shelters come can totally have issues as well. 🙂
I love mutts. They’re cute and live a long time. My grandfather had a collie shepherd mix and he was a big, beautiful sweetie that lived into his doggie 90s
WARNING: ruin ahead! I'm not ruining you, just giving the truth in the style of Adam. The ruin: Oh, the 1 to 7 age system! We humans made up the system because it was easier math, but bad science. It's actually more complicated than that. It usually starts with quick growth to adult hood in 2-ish years, then it slows down to 3-4 dog years per year, then eventually slowing to 2-3 dog years per year. We average humans love making things up! (But yeah, mutts do live longer and are the best dogs.)
We used to have a mutt living in our garden. He lived till like 19+ years. We don't really know how old he was since he was already full grown when we met him. And he lived in our garden for 18 years.

This shouldn't be called Adam Ruins Everything. It raises a point to the things that people have been to naive to see. It makes me sick to think that the human race has done such cruel things to a species that has been loyal to them for so long. The existence of purebred dogs is a sad one.
GnarlyGuy You should watch Vsauce's video called, "Why Are Things Cute?". Cuteness is a survival mechanism in the human world, and that's why dogs are our "best friends". They're hideous and horrible in nature, but in the human household, they've "evolved" and "adapted" perfectly. ...Except for the American Bulldog. That poor poor creature.
JohannaMueller57 It's true. Why do you think people are so eager to keep the giant panda alive, but not he purple pig-nosed frog? Because the latter isn't very cute.
Mutts are awesome. My grandparents had a dog that was pretty much a mix of everything and it was cute despite not being trained at all, but that was my grandparent's fault. The dog could swim like a fish, he could run very fast until a very high age and he was extremely intelligent, for example he learned how to open doors by jumping up and pressing the handle down without ever being shown how to and he would often go on extremely long walks by himself and return home. Often he walked all across the village to a water channel to take a swim there. And if he didn't like people he showed them by barking very meanly. That damn dog was officially banned from the property of a company in our town because the CEO didn't like him after he barked at him :D He lived until it was 20, then my grandma decided to put him down because he refused to eat and he couldn't really walk stairs anymore and she lived upstairs. It was also impossible to carry him because he hated being picked up and would try to bite. If she hadn't taken him down, that dog would have probably lived longer than everyone else in our family :D
I hope my Chiweenie lives a long time. I adopted him when he was 3. He already was potty trained and he’s very smart. I trained him to use a pad in a bin in case. He still lets me know when he needs to go so we go outside, but a backup is good. He’s also portable. The reason I got a small dog is because I can’t lift 45 lbs. so if he’s injured or I have to carry him for whatever reason, it’s easy.
the new line "pure breeds" are more health than other "pure breed" lines as they have rejuvenated genetics but it takes a little while for them to be recognized. yes, mutts are the way to go if you want a good dog that is going to last. if you want the pride and prestige of having one of the prime specimens of the hyper inbreed lines, get a "pure breed". simple as that. it goes for all animal breed lines.
This is literally like saying "our dogs are now less franken because we played around with their genetics a little more." Down the line, it still doesn't change the fact that they are inbred. Any pride and prestige from having a purebred dog is entirely superficial due to the fact that these animals are only given prestige by people like you. The argument for "all animal breed" lines is pretty damn far out there when most animals that have been humanly inbred these days are not meant to be pets. They were meant to be beasts of burden or food. At least their purpose is based on something that we have a function for. Purebred dogs for the sake of purebred status is truly animal abuse in its purest form because you have no good reason to do it. At all.
a dog does not care about genetics as much. cross breeding lines may not make dogs less "frankenstines" but it does strengthen their genetics. just allowing a cross breeding one time can reset a genetic counter as to how inbreed the offspring are. the more you do this the stronger the line is as you diversify the genetic material in the off spring.
Aside from having tape worms when we got her, my dog has been generally healthy, except for her legs easily being dislocated. She is a mutt, but the poor thing came from a hoarding situation
@mr arican You do realize that animals in the pound are euthanized after a short time, right? Talking weeks to months here, maybe a year at most if they’re extremely lucky and the pound in question is very lenient.
+Mango Brûlée If the point was an arrow, then you just walked away without injury. Lily *does* find this informative; it's just the fact that this is about innocent creatures that are essentially abused for our amusement...is actually insanely depressing.
Purebred dogs were only ok when they were being done for actual purposes, like dachshunds for badger hunting, or labradoodle as a guide dog for those who live with someone who is allergic to dogs.
They are still purpose bred. People still use them for hunting, ratting, service dogs, etc. Doodles are genetic, neurotic messes. Why not just get a poodle for a guide dog? They are very smart.
***** Don't you think this video is somewhat one sided? Getting a mutt can't guaranty puppy's health, also responsible breeders watch for fresh bloodlines and breed out genetic decease.
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST RUINING OF ANYTHING ADAM HAS EVER COVERED. i thank you endlessly for creating this masterpiece... i truly hope those who have always considered their brachycephalic dog's snorts & snores "adorable af!" actually consider the health implications. personally, i prefer my dogs to not be asphyxiating 24/7 because of their morphological features that we've created for"super extra cute!!!!" dogs.
Yeah my family has always gotten english setters and they are always super healthy. But that might be cuz they get way more exercise then any normal dog would get I dont know. The english setter breeders have also not been afraid to cross breed to keep up genetic diversity so that might be part of it.
"When you get a dog don't worry about what breed it is. Go to your local shelter and get a puppy mutt." But, lots of shelters have adult and/or purebred dogs waiting to be adopted as well. And, while shelters are a wonderful option, they are not for everyone. Retail rescue is an unfortunate reality.
Get a dog and take care of it even if it isn’t perfect. Our job is to repair what us, humans, have done to them, take care of them and give them a good life.
This is horrible advice. There's a huge difference between a little puppy mutt that is part mal and pit, and a little puppy mut that is lab and golden. You have no idea what dog you're getting or what it needs.
@@casebased8391 Maybe to you, because you're a dog person, but there's a lot of variation in what a mix can look like, and that is especially not apparent when a dog is a puppy.
The trutv crap remake was only 2:22 minutes long, while the original CollegeHumor video is 4:35 minutes long. They had to condense it somehow, because it was only segment of the entire episode, so I guess they had to down the ante a bit :/
+Blue Tophat You're talking about the clip that was uploaded on their YT channel. The segment that aired on TV was about just as long as this video and contained all of the same info. almost verbatim.
Each segment on the T.V. show is about 7 and a half minutes. (30 minute show divided by 3 ruining segments and 1 concluding segment.) This is what came out before the episode on T.V., and this is the same script for the first segment.
Selective Breeding of Dogs and Snakes should finally Stop. It's a shame of humanity. And we already got PLENTY of those, so stop it. Raise awareness but ALSO ACT. I mean, if anyone knows it, thanks to videos like this, but no one does anything anyway, what was it for?! Get what i mean?
he's ruining it for kennel clubs and dog snobs, though. I'm not a pet person, and always thought competitive breeding was snooty, but since my hubby is a dog guy and we'll end up with one eventually, I figured I should learn about breeds and find out which I like. Now I'm adamant I want a mutt! I even explained genetics and in-breeding / cross-breeding to my 9-year-old and made her watch this video, lol! She's convinced she wants a mutt too; she said, "having different breeds is only a good deal for the people selling, but not for the dogs."
Exactly! I'd rather have something "ruined" and being exposed to the truth than keep living unaware that pure bred dogs are in fact INbred and that most of their genetic diseases and problems are in fact OUR fault :S It's definitely better to adopt than to buy a dog...
Everything he said is true. I remember the first dog I got to take care of. They found it in front of a coffee shop and paid the guy inside 20 bucks to take it from him. He was a small puppy and we called him Charo (Tscharo) and he was so energetic and happy all of the time and he looked like a big fox with long beautiful fur.
Meow it is not a good video as it only talks about dogs looks and not their psychological traits, which is what truly matters. People originally started breeding not because they wanted cute dogs, but because they wanted dogs who could retrieve/hunt/pull/guard/herd better and more easily. Sadly today dogs are more often than not treated like objects or accessories to show off down the street. They are not given a chance to work, to behave as they should (see Labrador Retrievers: they are meant to be retrievers, but today people buy them just because they're cute and happy. And then they wonder why they are so destructive: they're frustrated!). So because people no longer care about a dog's temperament and purpose, but only about their looks, it's easy to end up criticising breeders, calling them criminals and preach about how adopting is better (when mostly people adopt so they can get a dog for free, without anybody interviewing them to see if they are the right owners for that dog type, as responsible breeders do).
No such thing as hybrid vigor. It has been disproven that mutts are healthier. This is largely because the people who breed mutts don't do genetic testing. Many dogs in the shelter have hip and joint issues. first dog I have ever had that doesn't have a joint issue- from a breeder.
i half agree that mutts may seem healthier and generally that can be true,not because its a mix breed though,it is because of what 2 dogs the puppies came from. good pure breds should have a health guarantee,which the breeder can back up with proof of the dogs ancestors health.but i agree that breeding dogs just for looks at the cost of their health is wrong. but if you want to see what pure breds where ment to be look up "Belgian malanois" and also "presa canario" they are pure bred working dogs that arent generally found in puppy mills :) p.s.i have 2 pound mutts :)
Hybrid vigour doesn't apply when mixing within a species, and because the range of mutts is so broad, no one focuses on the health issues. Of all the dogs I've met with hip dysplasia and luxating patellas (all things health testing can identify so dogs which are prone to these conditions won't be bred, by good breeders anyway), only one was a purebred. The rest of them (and I worked in a boarding kennels, so it was at least 20-25 dogs I met over those years) were your "healthy" "hybrids". And, just because, I had a lovely purebred for over 14 years. Never had any health issues in his life and was happy and healthy up until the week his renal system started to fail. Not genetic, not something that could have been prevented, and not something his breeder had ever seen in any of her dogs before, just bad luck that meant we had to say goodbye to him. From his litter, I know three of the others who are still continuing to do well. But god forbid a purebred be healthy right? It's called responsible breeding, and it works damn well.
Frank Harrison barely any money, that is. For the people who aren't puppy Mills, they make... Let's see.. ALMOST NOTHING. Because they care to care for their puppies, and that totals to like 5-6000 dollars for one litter, and they only have one or two a year.
I'm confused, are you saying there isn't money in breeding? lol maybe amateur or casual breeders, but puppy mills and mass production facilities with poor standards and cost-cutting policies are what I was referring to.
Yay Mutts!!! I keep telling people that they are the best. I think there is some sort of stigma because people associate mutts with being shelter dogs and shelter dogs often have anxiety or trust issues because of abuse or abandonment. And yes, a lot of shelter dogs do take time and effort, but isn't that what having a pet is all about? My dog Annie, she's no purebred and she is definitely neurotic and a little screwed up, but earning her trust and love has been rewarding. She's not some pretty little accessory, she is a person with her own thoughts, fears, and personality. Mutts are the best because they are often unexpected, you can't look up on a chart and see how they are "supposed to act" with their specially designed temperaments, you actually have to get to know the individual dog.
I actually own a mutt right now. Mutts are da bomb! TSA: DON'T SAY BOMB! Oh wait, I just said it, I have to get fired, whyyy?!!!! #DontSayBomb #Mutts4Life
+Nightning I have a slightly aggressive Chihuahua named Milly I think she's mostly Chihuahua but she's probably a mutt because she has almost no health problems except for being too adorable...
most mixed breeds do kill farm animals if they get loose which is why when people try to use breeds meant for pets as live stock protectors it never works out
@@SkinnyAnimations I like to make the joke that the Bulldog can be considered the Habsburgs of the canine world. Also looking at Daneyres (hope I got that right.) She's acting more and more like her old man. *Recalling how he got off of burning people who even slightly looked at him funny*
@@christiandelahoz2326 yes thats better because then what about the poor dogs at the shop.... I like all dogs i own a mutt and he is best friend but i still like purebreeds but I hate the people who made them
Astro birb, thank you! And Vollie Esperer, I don't care.First of all, I can say if I like cats or not. I don't care if there is a reason to it, and second of all, it seams 31 other people disagree with you.
Vollie Espérer dude it’s not racism it’s personal preference a lot of people are scared of dogs what you just said is toxic the fact that I prefer cats doesn’t mean it’s racist I don’t get how anyone can think that they are totally different species and can’t breed
My boyfriend’s best friend and his wife are getting a puppy today and leading up to it, his wife kept going on tirades about how it’s so important to get your dog from a breeder and that shelter dogs are damaged. It infuriates me so much that I came back to watch this video from six years ago.
Yeah me too, right now I’ve got a border collie/toy poodle mix but she looks like if someone shrunk a collie and made it scruffier, I absolutely love her (even though she is a bit overweight, we’re working on it)
+kmsa21 Actually Pugs got it worse. I'm surprised he didn't mention the fact Pugs eyes will literally pop out of their head. The Irony being that this is caused by any pressure on the neck such as holding, petting or simply taking them for a walk on a leash. You know being an affectionate dog owner. Not saying the Bull Dog isn't a genetic wreck. But think about it. A dog whose eyeballs could literally pop out of their sockets when just holding. That is sad on so many levels.
+ManCave Mayhem I've always disliked bulldogs/pug breeds. And as much as I love my staffie, I wouldn't get another on purpose. Even he has breathing troubles.
My dog was about to be killed my a lab farm, as his mum, a purebred lab, mated with a German shepherd, but we saved him, by actually getting him for free. Best dog ever, loving, healthy and also quite dorky but we still love our lil' dog
Breeding pugs and Bulldogs should be animal cruelty. They can't breathe from the time they're born to the time they die. It's horrible and I've met more Bulldogs with tracheotomies than without while working at a vet clinic
LOLguy lol, you have never had a pug on an operating table. The great majority of them have airways f*cked up so badly we only do surgery if it is life saving. Something as little as kennel cough can kill them. There is no way to keep something healthy that was born sick.
jackalot irl vids That, my friend, is the sound of constant borderline asphyxiation. Do a little crossbreeding so they can breathe properly and then you will know what "running around happily" for a pug means.
Anna Skupin In many countries it actually is. The German Tierschutzgesetz bans breeding of animals if such breeding would imply unnecessary pain or suffering ("Qualzucht" - "cruel breed"), even though over here they are quite lame in actually enforcing that. Austria specifically mentions troublesome airways (among others) as a criterion to determien a breed a "Qualzucht" and apparently they are actually getting stuff done.
DANIEL your right there. I know of a pug whose owner has to shove a catheter down its throat, by passing the fucked up airways in its head, in order that it can go to sleep. British Bulldogs are in a far worse state than pugs. I looked after 2 B Bulldogs once for someone and I noticed that when it tried to sleep it would lie down with its legs folded up under it. This would stop its breathing and it would have to wake up. I had to shove a cushion under its chest just so that it could get some sleep. All brachycephalic dogs are in bad trouble.
I definitely find it amusing that he says they'll be happy and healthy. Most trainers days are filled with fixing rescues with anxiety, reaction issues and resources guarding. And no shelters do real screenings. We don't have OFA data on them
The difference is that has very little to do with genetics and everything to do with trauma that a rescued (remember the definition of the word rescue?) animal has to recover from. And aren't you glad people are bringing those dogs that need training to be safe in society to professional trainers rather than doing a haphazard job themselves?
And? That's what a trainers job is literally for in the first place, are you really rallying against shelters right now bro? And I can tell you this, I got a rescue dog and although he's had issues with anxiety he's now completely fine and happy. It honestly only takes a little time for the dog to get adjusted and learn that things aren't going to be like the past. In the end, they are far more happy and healthy than any purebred abomination will ever unfortunately be.
@poppythedogofwonders 1. Nope, like I can personally promise you S&R trainers don't like wasting their time like that 2. You literally can't prove it, because they don't keep data. Until shelters start keeping data at as even half as widespread the rate as the rest of the dog world everything you say is just sound and fury signifying nothing.
@@poppythedogofwonders You miss the point of what was said. Many trainers now have to deal more with very messed up dogs because people do not know how to train them right in the first place, then dump them at the shelter. Then the dog becomes a worse mess because of the stress and neglect at the shelters. I can't stand to watch the video as I do not appreciate someone who is NOT in the dog world making judgements on it. Yes, there are problems with dogs that have been breed for too long with health issues. Yes, that should be addressed. And some breeders are doing so. But to say that mutts are soooo much better than a purebred is telling a lie. I have purebreds because I want to know what to expect from my dogs. I won't know that with a mutt. Can mutts be good? Yes, if you happen to get lucky and those traits that you can live with happen to be bred into that dog. I feel sorry for those people who adopt a dog that is all cute and cuddly, and they are told that it will be just a small dog, but it grows up to be Great Dane size. Or they get a mutt puppy that is cute and so attentive, then they find out that it is part Border Collie and requires MUCH more exercise and attention than the owners can provide. Why do you think that most dogs in the shelter are young dogs and are mutts??
Unfortunately, this is the same for cats too, purebred cats are nothing more than the mixing of other breeds and then continuous inbreeding to keep them "pure" Also: Dude, just shut up and play with the puppy.
I never owned pure bred cats. The cats I had were mixed breed. Usually the vet refers to them as domestic long or shorthairs. I personally think that mixed breed cats are prettier then the pure breds.
I mean, some dogs from way before, were specifically bred for some traits. Poodles were originally DUCK HUNTING dogs who were bred to be good swimmers that would retrieve the dogs for their masters after the latter shot a duck down. But I guess it falls on "working dogs" as Adam mentioned

We got a purebred dog for free because the man who had her couldn't care for her anymore due to work so he gave her to my dad. She even had official papers. She had a lot of problems. For the record, Daphne was a Boxer. Namely her claws had to be trimmed at the vets office because what the provide in pet stores arent strong enough. Her teeth got gnarly after about 7 years. She developed mastitus with her first litter (purely accidental, she got out one night and didnt find her until 2 days later, next thing we know there's puppies. Which all died because Daphne couldn't feed them and it was only my mom who could feed them as I was only 8 at the time). She developed warts that turned into tumors. She developed hip dysplasia then "doggie ALS" as the vet called it. After 13 years we finally put her down. She couldn't walk up or down the stairs without falling and she'd be crying in pain most of the time.
@@justsomeguywholikeswater3566 no bulldogs are cute and the things you listed don't change that we all have issues and health problems and we all are ''ugly'' in our own way. it's just dogs (and this goes for bulldogs as will) are not truly ugly we humens are and we make anything we see ugly like us and don't want to admit it so yeah bulldogs (and any life form as will) are not ugly we made them the way they are for our own selfish reasons (:
My little mutt turns 17 this year, she’s started having health problems that has slowed her down a lot. But 16 happy and healthy years ain’t bad. Now I’m just trying to keep her has happy and comfortable as I can with the time we have left
If y'all actually don't know, they're places where purebred dogs are bred in fur farm type conditions. Living in nasty wire cages in warehouses all sick because they don't get vet care. Then they ship the puppies off to pet stores who sell them for thousands. I swear a pet store near me gets it's $1000+ puppies from a mill. It's more common than you'd think.
I'm glad at least you feel bad and want to do better in the future, some retards delude themselves into thinking these dogs are actually healthy and keep on breeding & buying
So all those dog breeds are actually just disabled dogs? Thats horrible. I would still get one of them from a shelter regardless of their genetic disability,
DogeWolfRocket Gaming not all dogs have genetic problems. I mean labradors and retrievers that have health defects aren't allowed to become guide dogs for obvious reasons. Clearly the likelihood of a dog having a genetic disorder is not as large as it seems in some cases
Yeah the probability is the same as some inbred monarchs had. If you breed with your siblings the chance of your child being prone to genetic disease will increase but it doesn't mean he will 100% get defects.
I have a "mut" that I adopted from Forever Homes New England Rescue. He is half beagle, half pointer, and he may even have some springer in him. He is extremely, loyal, loving, affectionate, and I wouldn't trade him for the world!
I love how he glosses over the fact that dozens of purebred dogs were once made with a purpose. Humans didn't do the shit for fun all the time. Poodles and Border Collies are two of the most intelligent dog breeds because they were bred to be smart. These breeds have history over hundreds of years. Then take a more recent dog breed like the German Shepard. Sure it's lineage is barely 100 years old but it has done so much for police work and protection that it should not matter that they are a young breed. This goes for Dobermans and Rhodesian Ridgebacks as well. Just because a dog is adorable and purebred does not mean that any mutt could do what it was designed to do as well.
***** Yes, he did, but he's also leaving out the fact that just about EVERY breed was created for a purpose. Rottweilers were originally cart pulling dogs, GSDs were bred to protect flocks of sheep and goats. Westies were bred to kill moles and rats, Doxens were bred to go after badgers in their holes... Pretty much every breed had a purpose at one point or another and were very healthy dogs. It's the shitty breeding that's happened over the past 100 years that's killed our breeds in terms of health, not the fact that they're purebreds.
Joelle Sullivan THANK YOU! you said it better than I could. But I must add that (from personal experience) even the lap dogs a lot of people think are worthless are also being trained for service work of all kinds, yes, the crazy small toy breeds are helping humans with medical and emotional disabilities. Breeding coupled with training has it's place, it really does.
Lionbruh which still leaves him in the wrong, unless it's opposite day. Because the majority (globally speaking) of pure breeds are healthy, useful animals that can't be traded out for just any mutt breed. Ask any First Responder or Rancher or Police unit on that.
While I do agree that there are healthy purebred dogs and that we do need them and that they do have their purpose, I love my "any ol' mutt". She's my service dog and is a registered therapy dog. The only K9 officer in my hometown (he's a drug sniffer, not schutzhund trained) is a sweet old shepherd/hound mix. All dogs are wonderful creatures and should be treated and respected as such.
As a vet nurse I can tell you that pretty much everyone in the field hates seeing "Bulldog" of any kind on the patient's chart. They're incredibly difficult to restrain due to their restricted breathing, and we've had to perform CPR on a Frenchie that turned purple and tried to die during a nail trim
Maybe for the Malfoys or Riddles who are pure blood supremacists who would never tolerate any muggle blood in their entire family, yes. But the term pure blood in Harry Potter isn't really that pure, because it somehow resets every generation. Harry himself is a pureblood, but he has two muggle grandparents. His mom Lily is muggleborn.

My dog was an “accident” in a kennel club, so they booted her and her siblings to a local shelter. We got her because she was the sweetest dog at said shelter, but soon she was riddled with liver disease and for a long time, she had to have a feeding tube. Thats why i always kinda get mad when people talk about dog breeds like they’re beautifully healthy dogs, when really, they aren't.
I agree with most of what's being said here, however he does leave out the fact that mixed breed dogs have their own cons. 1) Just because they're mixed doesn't mean they're necessarily healthier. If they have a parent with health problems, those problems can still be passed down to the puppies, and mixing two dogs with different coat types could make it harder for their coats to be maintained. 2) Their personalities can be unpredictable. The thing that makes purebreds desirable is the fact that you can usually predict how they're going to behave, but getting a mixed breed without any knowledge of their prior behavior can make training and socialization difficult and is what leads to many dogs getting rehomed several times. 3) Mixed breeds like doodles can be exploited just as badly as purebreds. With purebreds you can at least find some truly ethical breeders that make sure their dogs pass health tests like OFA, have polices in place that in the event their dogs don't work out for you they must be given back to the breeders, and they will educate you on what to expect from their dogs and will make sure their applicant's will be responsible enough to care for those puppies and won't give their dogs to just anyone with enough money. Most doodles are not bred ethically and are an unfortunate result of the "designer dog" craze, and many people have false expectations of them because of bad breeder marketing. Again, all the problems I've already listed with mixed breeds apply to most doodles. With all of this being said, I don't discourage getting a mixed breed dog, nor do I think purebreds are the only way to go. My hope is that when you go to get a dog, be cautious about the way you go about it. If you get a purebred make sure you do your research on what breed suits you and your family best, read a list of green flags and red flags to look for in dog breeders. I discourage buying a mixed breed dog from a breeder, and instead encourage rescuing a puppy or adult dog from the shelter, or better yet fosters who know the dogs first hand and tell you their experience with their dogs, and be prepared for any potential bad behaviors from a mixed dog that may be hard to train out.
I feel bad for the bulldog because the mother has to have a C-section by a vet to give birth to puppies. And they have trouble breathing because of their smooshed noses.
My purebred dog, a keeshond, was only like $600. I don’t think he’s too unhealthy and my family has had keeshonds for years. Tho if there are any major problems with this breed anyone knows about, please tell me.
Jalissa Jal Hi! If you’re looking for info on your breed, I’d recommend getting a book about it. The AKC website also offers some good resources, and if your family has had Keeshonds for years, then they’re probably a good resource as well! Just a side note, I think Keeshonds are adorable! I try to watch them showing every time we travel to show our Cavaliers. And the price of purebred dogs varies depending on the breed and registration level, so it’s really nothing to be sure of anyway.
my whole family have gotten nothing but mixed pits since I can remember. They are some of the sweetest, smart, and well behaved dogs i've ever met. We've taken our pits out on camping trips from fall to spring for years and never once have we lost one or had it get bitten by a snake.
Go get a lurcher, they're really nice and generally healthy, but hey do need alot rof exercise (Lurcher is a term for non-specific sight hounds which are not purebred, they're mostly crosses of greyhounds with other large dogs)
+PlayingGoji What differentiates a wolf and a Husky (and other dogs) is that wolves don´t have that domestication build in them. so getting a pet wolf is very risky.
+PlayingGoji How about adopting a family member that is more natural? It is possible to get ''healthy'' dog breeds, but it is rare these days. Besides, their are a ton of different kind of pets to adopt. You could always a adopt from a shelter and not buy from a breeder?
+PlayingGoji We've essentially spent centuries breeding dogs to mentally remain puppies their entire lives. Dogs truly never "mature". They retain their puppy-like thinking, behavior, and reactions through their entire lifespans. This is why dogs are unlikely to ever challenge a human for dominance. Puppies are naturally submissive to the adults in their lives. Litters of puppies will often have loose hierarchies amongst themselves, but they are all submissive to adult dogs. Dogs view humans as the 'adults'. They may push their limits to see what they're able to get away with, but almost never will a dog treat a human the same way they would another dog that they consider lower in the food chain. They may decide they don't have to listen to what a human tells them, or not have to obey them, but this is not the same thing as considering themselves higher ranking, and expecting submission from you. This is not the case with wolves. Wolves go through their puppy stage, and then they mature mentally as well as physically. Wolves become adults, and gain an adult view on the world. It takes considerable skill, knowledge, time, and experience to raise a wolf to behave anything at all like a dog, and even then they can never truly be trusted with strange humans and especially strange animals. People have had much better luck encouraging the wolves to be wolves, and instead working themselves in around the wolf's lifestyle rather than trying to fit a wolf to a human (or dog) lifestyle. Wolves have been raised with dogs and cats in the household that they were as sweet and gentle as could be with, and then they still turn around and rip any trespassing animal to pieces. 'Pet' wolves are extremely dangerous to have around children, or anyone who is not capable of handling themselves comfortably, confidently, and cooly around the animal at all times. Wolves are very much not like dogs. They may have similar body language and features, but that's about where the similarities end. If you raise and treat a wolf exactly the same as you'd raise and treat a domestic dog, someone is going to get hurt, period. Be it you, the wolf, your child, a stranger, etc. Someone is not coming out of that situation on top.
Except for certain breeds like those of herding dogs like Collies and shelties as smart breeders actually mingle both breeds for sustainable development.
I think it's fun rewatching now that I'm in the livestock breeding world. I do have a few addendums for modern discoveries and differences. 1. Some breed clubs actually allow non purebred dogs to apply to be part of the breed. If they look right and have the right temperament. I know this is a thing with a couple different collie breeds. 2. With the popularity of mutts and designer mixes now being a real issue, not all mutts are healthier. It's more a gamble with them while purebreds tend to have more predictability. (And worse outcomes depending on the breeder.) 3. It is good to take breed into account (since mongrels/mega mutts aren't super common) when adopting a dog. This is for temperament instead of appearance though. For example, I have pet rabbits. I'd want to look for a mix of a common livestock guardian dog who is known for being gentle with small animals, while I'd want to heavily avoid spitz/sled dogs because they have very high prey drives and tend to be brought to shelters for killing cats.
***** Teaching the people would imply you covered some more breeds to give a more rounded look into the breeds we have today. The healthy ones, and of course the ancient breeds which were bred for working tasks and are for the most part virtually unchanged from the dogs they were hundreds or thousands of years ago. Following on from the PETA propaganda and "Pedigree Dogs Exposed" bias isn't doing dogs in general or responsible breeders any good at all.
no, but they think it's good. everytime i see a dog i wonder how much change had to be done to get this shit out of a wolf. it's a pretty good indicator of how fucked a certain breed is
ya, why would a wolf have fur like a Lamb, or so tiny they can't even take on a rat. I have an American bulldog and a mini dachound and I must admit they are adorable, but are canine mutants.

You can have a pug, just get it from a shelter or rescue it and make sure it gets good medical care. Just DO NOT buy from a puppy mill. Don't feel bad about your dog that you have.
I've never had a problem with a dog that I've adopted as a stray or as a rescue! In fact, the only time I ever had a problem with a dog was when my father purchased a Staffordshire Terrier puppy from a breeder, and gave him to my sister as a gift. By the time he was a year old, he bit the tip of my nose off and killed one of my cats. The nose I was pretty forgiving of; I was being stupid and he bit me, but the fact that he killed my cat, who had been around him pretty much since the day he was born, was my last straw. We took him to the shelter the next day, and I don't know what became of him. Watching this video pretty much confirms what I was speculating about dogs after that day.
@@Romeothedoggy I know, the previous dog I had was part german shepherd part coonhound, and she was the runt of the litter, didn't know when to stop eating, had bad hips and arthritis, allergies, and in her later years she had two experiences of seizures, the last ones being the end of it... she was a lovely dog, though. 100lbs lapdog who just wanted to lay down and snuggle.
Pacific Signs they aren’t informed of proper breed u line breed and inbreed you also out cross but aye and the original bulldog went extinct they were trying to recreate it but ended up adding pug that’s why the Face Is like that he doesn’t know his stuff to bad dogmen are overlooked and uneducated people can talk shit
Sukanya Mukherjee I mean kennel clubs preserve the breed and promote a certain healthy standard, technically. I’ve never shown pugs or terriers or anything, so I wouldn’t know about that, but my local club will take away your registration if you knowingly breed dogs with a ~20% risk of hip dysplasia or other breed specific disorders.
Our two dogs were adopted from the Humane Society. Paid $90 for each adoption and these mutts are loving and great watch dogs. Please adopt a rescue and she/he will love you for the rest of their life.
I love this video and I stand behind what it's saying but, chihuahuas are actually one of the healthiest breeds because they have been around 100 AD (and their predecessors the techichi have been around since at least 300 BC). Because they were a naturally developed breed and not created by European weirdos they are very healthy and have the longest lifespan of any dog breed (they can live up to 20 years). So yes they are tiny, but they're actually quite healthy and natural, as long as you don't inbreed them.
laura doyle That's spaniels and there is some debate on whether it's true. Chihuahuas are hardy, intelligent dogs but almost every one I've met has been an untrained mess. They were bred for independence and rat killing, so they really need the same level of socialization and training as any high prey drive dog such as a malinois. When they don't get it they turn neurotic.
Janet Brock Vet assistant here and I disagree with you. Chihuahuas have troublesome joints and also they are mental wrecks. The latter one is for two reasons: Firstly, they appear not to understand that they are small. They behave as if they were mighty like a German shepherd even though they are not. The second reason obviously are the owners. Chihuahuas are cute, if they destroy stuff or act agressively, that's cute and owners do not train their dogs. That is why they quite often are agressive and devious rats.
Actually many peoples are trying to stop some bulldogs breeding, and if you would report to it for the right peoples those peoples would be considered as animal abusers. This also depends on where you live.
Actually your point about the inbreeding isn't entirely correct. When a purebreed is considered a "pedigree", the breeders have made sure that the dog's genetic ancestry is as pure and consistent as possible while having as little amount of inbreeding as possible. This is actually a pretty serious issue among breeders of working dogs, I'm pretty sure. They come with a certificate if they're pedigree. For example, the German Shepherd, used by police forces all over the world, is bred specifically for their fitness and intelligence (but more so looks if they're bred to be a show dog). If a GS was even slightly genetically inaccurate compared to other GS's, this could show up in it's level of fitness and intelligence. If it was inbred, this can show up in it's health. The police can't use a dumb, unfit and unhealthy dog, so they won't take anything that isn't meeting an incredibly high standard. Moral of the story: get German Shepherds. They're awesome. They're also pretty cheap, at like $700 or so for a pedigree working-class puppy (in Australia), which are the ones you want to get. The show dogs are pretty much useless if you want intelligence (I think, don't quote me on that).
Actually German Shepherds have plenty of defects, and don't live very long without problems, especially hip dysplasia. The dogs purchased by military & LEO are selected and trained (at great cost) whilst you don't see the undesirable dogs represented. These dogs are far from perfect & exhibit aberrant behaviour, in some cases they must be euthanized. www.upei.ca/~cidd/intro.htm Inbreeding is important to "fix" characteristics in a population which is why it's done. After 4 generations of free (cross) breeding dogs revert to their standard morphotype resembling wolves. Learn more about this here (the PBS Nova episode "Decoding the Dog" is not available to stream at this time): www.terrierman.com/russianfoxfarmstudy.pdf
I see someone mentioned the hip thing on the german Sheppard breed don't forget digestive problems, skin problems, spinal fusion and abscess on pads so while they cost less the medical and special food costs add up fast as does the carpet cleaning from their constant diarrhea
German Shepards are still pretty cool though even if they have health defects. They are one of the most loyal dogs around and are some of the best companions to people.
I agree the health of pure breeds are generally fucked up BUT breeding "random mutts" ain't a good idea either. Breeds generally exist for a reason (hunting/herding/shepherding/guarding/and the fairly recent lapdog) and have been bred for hundreds if not thousands of years for these qualities (even if there was no 'breed standard' back then you till bred the best herding dogs with the best herding dogs). Mixing breeds without knowing what you're doing can get you a dog that isn't fit for any category. Yes, it might be healthier - MIGHT - because genetic variation is good for any species, but it might also end up being a 'nightmare' for a pet. For example, pitbulls are generally people-friendly but dog aggressive. Guess what happens when you mix that with a guard dog like the rottweiler, which is naturally inclined to be wary towards unknown people? It's so easy to end up with a dog that's aggressive towards humans. Mix a high-energy (very loud) husky an intelligent but i-do-what-i-want afghan hound? great, now you have a dog that will get out of any enclosure, will chase anything moving, can run for miles for 40 mils/h, and won't listen to a single word you say. Of course, the puppy can also end up getting all the good qualities and be a wonderful pet. But really, why would you try it? If there is one thing breeds are good for, it's that you know what you're getting.
Mutts don't need to be completely random. You can still selective breed while still mixing up the gen pool a bit. I see why some breeds are kinda okay. Such as a hypo allergenic, and those bred for jobs that require a certain ability and mindset. But even some of those breeds would be better off with a little outside gene now and then. I understand it's nice if you want a specific temperament. But if your like most people; just looking for a furry buddy to add to the family so you can take them on walks and adventures. Why not consider a rescued mutt? I find pretty sad how many people treat getting a dog like picking out a dream item.
@@silverdaledrizzle780 of course, I agree with you. It was mainly the sentiment in the video that mutts are automatically healthier and "better" dogs I found a little lacking. I could also point out that I used to have a rescued pit/rottie and they definitely don't need to be aggressive, but it was easy to see "how" it could have turned out that way and you never really know beforehand. Sometimes the trigger is an accident that you don't have control over. There's also loads of purebred dogs in rescues too that need loving homes that understand their needs.
Are you a chihuahua? If so then yes very aggressive. As a wise man once said, “the only good thing about chihuahuas, is that, if they get rabies, you won’t be able to tell th fucking difference”
My bulldog is a healthy 12 year old dog that's still very active, but has seizures about 3 times every 2-3 months. We love him, and have since bred him for another bulldog that has a breathing problem, but humans did this. Bulldogs have a tragic history of bullfighting where they were bred to hang on to bull's noses the longest, hence the name, bulldog. Bulldog owners smashed their face to hang on to the bulls longer. Bulldogs would be a lot better off if we didn't screw them over. The human race as a whole just sucks. We act like the world is our playground and I really hate it.
I really like this comment as I hate some parts of the human race too. While so many parts make me happy, much more things can make me angry. Also, I really hope your bulldog is doing OK. I didn't even know people did that to the poor dogs. SMH.
stolen memes you are part of them problem. just because you can doesn’t mean you should. You clearly don’t care about the breed and just in it for the money. no better then a puppy mill breeder.
My dog is half Australian Shepherd and half beagle. When we were looking for dogs my mom was very specific to get a mutt. It's really sad how demanding and inconsiderate people can be by being so selective of breeding. When my mom was little she had a purebred German Shepherd and by the time Bambi was 11 she had no control over her bladder and could barely walk. As cute as they are, we should stop purebred breeding.
Raptor With a Gun You're missing the point. By pure breeding dogs, we're pretty much damming them to sickness and flat out horrible lives. I'd rather have a dog that isn't "special" and will live longer than a dog with cancer and maybe only six years.
Master Arcanine It's not necessarily pure breeding that's creating these problems, it's irresponsible breeding. While what's being said in this video isn't exactly untrue, it is exaggerated at times, such as King Charles Spaniels having skulls that are too small for their brain and Great Danes being too large for their heart, those aren't common breed traits, that's backyard breeding at it's finest.
Valid point. Unlike Raptor With a Gun over here, you give reasonable point. Dogs aren't supposed to have specific jobs, they're either supposed be are loyal and loving pets or allowed to roam wild in seclusion.
No, what I meant by that is that you have so many different breeds of dogs, such as Border Collies, valued for their intelligence and herding ability. Or the Saint Bernard or Bernese Mountain Dog, bred to withstand harsh temperatures to rescue people trapped in avalanches. Or the Belgian Malinois, used in the military to aid soldiers in various ways. It would be such a waste to demolish each breed despite their talent and individual prowess.
I've had three dogs in my life. Lady who was a lab mix, Otto, a Vizsla that we adopted after his previous owner's dogs started bullying him. He was mixed with something, we'd heard whippet, bulldog, boxer and several others that I can't remember. Our current dog, Pippin is a meximutt. All crossbreeds and all adorable.
It actually is a good idea to adopt rather than buy. Some shelters euthanize animals that they have for too long because they're taking up to much space. the above video also explains why it's a good idea to adopt from shelters rather than buy from a pet store. Believing that it's better to get animals from shelters doesn't make you part of peta.
+CluckyCluck Did I post a link of animals being skinned and boiled alive? Claiming that every time you buy an animal, this is what happens to the animals in shelters? No, no I don't think I did. Get off the internet.
The only issue I have is that the little dog is healthier and will live longer (on average) than larger dogs. It’s kink if a mean assumption that the Chihuahua is not “happy.” That is a human emotion- look at the behavior.The Chihuahua can at least breathe and move around whereas the pug is is in visible distress.
One of the last lines. She was just so fed up, “GIMME THE PUPPY.” And he just immediately hands it over I love this show

ok we don't consider it an insult....not all of this is true. The way they said it is messed up. Mutts are mixed from purebreds. ..so how can they be any healthier? seriously its just trying to make purebreds look bad its really not like that.Mixed breeds have genetic disorders aswell because each time they breed in the streets or their owners breed them because they want to make designer breeds its worst than breeding a purebred dog because those dogs are so mixed that you dont know with who they mated and what breeds are mixed in making tons of health problems. At least we can determine what problems the purebred dogs will jave and it can be bred out...but with mixes there really isnt much of a way out. In yhe purebred dogs there are different types in the breed some are bred to the looks they use to have and others to the evolved looks which are really not to be considered looks for show its looks for the breed supposedly . Mixed breeds arent bad I just want to state out a really important point that nobody is mentioning because they are too busy criticizing the purebred dogs. Find a good responsible breeder and you'll gind that none of thise mentioned things are going on....choose the wrong breeder and you'll start one of the world's hardest battles to get over with
+Paz Hernandez I call bs. It's simple; small gene pool = less genetic diversity = more health problems and more frequent and severe genetic disorders. All "purebred" breeds have chronic health issues due to inbreeding, often linked to the traits for which they were bred and thus impossible to breed out. Mutts are always more robust and healthier than their purebred ancestors because mixing separate bloodlines together always results in more genetic diversity and lower chances of genetic disorders, unless both parent lines are so riddled with severe genetic defects that they're on the verge of extinction, anyway. Learn population genetics.
I heard a veterinarian say the same thing. She said she wished people would stop breeding them because of how much they suffer. She spoke especially about the bull dog.
the bulldog is the most exemplary inbred breed there is bc there's no denying that there is something wrong with their physical appearance so It really forces the person you're talking to to hear you out
I had a dog my entire childhood who was a crossover between 2 breds. The vet always told us that he will live 10 years. He lived 16, surviving 2 cancers, a lung disease, a traffic accident, and chocolate.
That was some kind of a dog...

i have a dog from the streets that we took, never ever got sick, just once from accidentally eating rat poison (?) but a quick visit to the vet fixed him up. eats virtually anything (sometimes picky) but the biggest con of having one is they are hard to train.
My family has generally had mutts in the family. And they are the best part of waking up .
Now I feel much better about how to breed. DOn't be brainwashed to stick with those "purebreds". Because do you think dogs care what breed they are when they want to have a fling? It is just another form of racism upon dogs.

@@AhsanShere beat me to it 😂
Adam is that bully but he really smart and ruin what you like with facts i guess lol
It breaks my heart because Corgis and Golden Retrievers are some of my favorite breeds, but Adam's right. Breeding "pure bred" dogs like that is borderline animal abuse.
Also, hearing about 60% of golden retrievers dying from cancer makes me wanna cry god damnit
I feel the same. I love Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and their "sister" breed King Charles Spaniel. And being within the Cavalier community, I kept wondering what exactly is causing these health defects? I know it isn't genetic.
Me to, I love corgis and golden retrievers but it breaks my heart to hear that pure breeding is wrong. But I'll change for the corgis to be happy!
But you have to except it
I know what I'll do. I get a half golden reciever and half corgi and a half cocker spaniel and half king charles spaniel. BREATHE MY FUTURE PUPPIES!!!!!
I had a golden retriever that died of cancer only half a year after I got her :(
My family has a 9 year old mutt and he's never got sick once. We feed him nothing but scraps from our meals (bones, pieces of meat, leftover rice from beef stew, etc) and he always was and is extremely healthy, other than being one of the fastest and smartest dogs i've ever met. We adopted him out of the local shelter and we all love him dearly.
You may have to change his diet as he gets older but my family had two pedigree old English sheepdogs with their tails loped off and one was put down because of cancer (it was where my dad kicked him as well so...)
I would trust dog food over scraps but you know your dog better than i do. Hope he lives a long happy life
What School Doesn't Teach You Wolfie while dog food does have all the nutrients a dog needs, human food is put to much higher standards and would have better stuff in it. So I personally think it’s good for dogs to have scraps every so often. But you do what works best for you
Ik u love him but try makeing your own dog food it really helps keep them alive for like 3 more years just like a egg and pumpkin hope he loves it
Your not alone my cat is extremely healthy and she is a mutt around 6 years old though you can’t tell the difference between her now and when she was 1 she never gets sick a doctor even pointed out how beautiful and healthy she is
@@dustyrose192 wtf is wrong with your dad
as a veterinarian, I am so glad the truth about breeding is being shared
Can inbreeding cause behavioural issues I know it causes very bad health conditions but is it true it causes behaviour issues and low IQ ?
@@melhummad9925 It can. It created a neurotic German shepherd dog - I am talking mainly about the show lines. Generally, if I were looking for a purebred dog, I would look in the working lines, or the "less popular" breeds. That way there is less chance of overbreeding (and less inbreeding) because of the popularity of the breed.
@melhummad9925
Outcrossing can causes as many, if not more, problems than inbreeding.
Some bloodlines like to be inbred more than outcrossed. Some don't like inbreeding at all.
@@jaredleicht1656 stop lying
@@sirtajgill4754
I'm not lying.. I'm a professional breeder of hunting dogs. This has been my personal experience.
I have bred as close as half brother/half sister and had great success. Every pup was healthy. 3 of the 5 pups are now foundation dogs of new kennels.
I have also had success with aunt/nephew. Made this cross 3 times in a row. Each litter produced high quality individuals. Several of these pups became great dogs that started their own kennels.
I have also tried outcrossing. The bloodline I crossed to was totally unrelated. All 8 pups in the litter suffered from complex focus seizures. They also call them sugar fits.
Sometimes mixing different bloodlines is like oil and vinegar. They don't mix.
There is no magic formula. Each bloodline will tell you what it likes from trial and error.
This is why cats usually live so long, we dont breed them like this, and the ones we do (like siamese) have medical issues and are proven to live shorter lives. If we keep doing this to dogs, theyll barely live long at all. Horrible! No wonder pets die so quickly, weve done it.
- Simplicity Cats have a different lifespan because they are a completely different species. You can have a healthy purebred and a healthy mixed dog, it’s just responsible breeding. Wolves have a lot of a shorter lifespan than dogs do, especially after domestication.
My Abyssinian lived to 18 years which is above average for a cat. Siamese cats are known to have a lifespan of up to 20 years.
My cats are random abandoned kittens. Our first cat was attacked by its mum and the other cat we found stuck abandoned in a drainage. Both had to undergo a ton of medical things to get them to normal and my oldest cat is allergic to a ton of things. Can’t even use regular cats sand. Have to use this tofu stuff, as after experimenting that seems to cause problems. But cat breeds are a thing. I see these ugly flat faced cats. As much as I love how a Bengal cat looks, I know it’s wrong. Actually the whole pet business is wrong, and sad. Although we adopted stray animals left for dead, still part of the problem, but people into special breeds are worse.
what about hypoalergenic im bad a spelling (none alergies)
NO. I CAN'T LET DOGGOS DIE.
Most of this is true. But he forgot to mention there are good breeders out there. Very rare thou... Sadly.
I know a breeder who puts the dogs health first! She gets them teated for everything and makes sure their NOT related. She doesn't make much money because money isn't a priority. It's the dogs health. When people are interested in her pups she makes you sign forms to spay/neuter the dog when it's an adult and asks a million questions. She won't give you the dog unless she knows it's going to a forever home. After her female gives her 2-3 litter with long gaps in between; she spays them because she doesn't like breeding them anymore after that. She's been doing this for 30+ years and only has great reviews. Her dogs live very long lives too of 15+ years.
It's just sad there aren't many good breeders, and a lot of puppy mills
they aren't that rare. there are nowhere near as many purebred dogs in shelters as mutts. Alot of breeders take their dogs back if they can not be re homed. Not that there anything wrong with mutts, but no one talks about those stats. I go to shelters and see purebreds often but the mutts from irresponsible breeders who dont give a shit are rampant., its pretty obvious even if people are breeding for aesthetics they do seem to look after their dogs way more than mutt breeders as a whole.
Well no, most of this is wrong. Better, it starts from the wrong assumption that there's natural and unnatural dogs. Primitive dogs weren't muts, but Spitz and so called "primitive dogs"
Does the breeder only breed in an area without dog over populations and does she totally disregard the idea of purebreed to instead maximize the pups health? If not, no, not an ethical breeder.
Good breeders are still inbreeding animals, no matter how many waivers they have customers sign and no matter how carefully they choose the mating pairs, which are still closely related by virtue of being the same breed. With the number of strays that exist, it's far and beyond more ethical to not breed at all.

This shouldn't be called Adam Ruins Everything. It raises a point to the things that people have been to naive to see. It makes me sick to think that the human race has done such cruel things to a species that has been loyal to them for so long. The existence of purebred dogs is a sad one.
GnarlyGuy You should watch Vsauce's video called, "Why Are Things Cute?". Cuteness is a survival mechanism in the human world, and that's why dogs are our "best friends". They're hideous and horrible in nature, but in the human household, they've "evolved" and "adapted" perfectly. ...Except for the American Bulldog. That poor poor creature.

+TheGoldenDunsparce wrong.
JohannaMueller57 It's true. Why do you think people are so eager to keep the giant panda alive, but not he purple pig-nosed frog? Because the latter isn't very cute.
***** ... That exists?
Mutts are awesome. My grandparents had a dog that was pretty much a mix of everything and it was cute despite not being trained at all, but that was my grandparent's fault. The dog could swim like a fish, he could run very fast until a very high age and he was extremely intelligent, for example he learned how to open doors by jumping up and pressing the handle down without ever being shown how to and he would often go on extremely long walks by himself and return home. Often he walked all across the village to a water channel to take a swim there. And if he didn't like people he showed them by barking very meanly. That damn dog was officially banned from the property of a company in our town because the CEO didn't like him after he barked at him :D
He lived until it was 20, then my grandma decided to put him down because he refused to eat and he couldn't really walk stairs anymore and she lived upstairs. It was also impossible to carry him because he hated being picked up and would try to bite.
If she hadn't taken him down, that dog would have probably lived longer than everyone else in our family :D
I hope my Chiweenie lives a long time. I adopted him when he was 3. He already was potty trained and he’s very smart. I trained him to use a pad in a bin in case. He still lets me know when he needs to go so we go outside, but a backup is good. He’s also portable. The reason I got a small dog is because I can’t lift 45 lbs. so if he’s injured or I have to carry him for whatever reason, it’s easy.
I've always preferred mutts. They are cute and unique :)
ya😊
the new line "pure breeds" are more health than other "pure breed" lines as they have rejuvenated genetics but it takes a little while for them to be recognized. yes, mutts are the way to go if you want a good dog that is going to last. if you want the pride and prestige of having one of the prime specimens of the hyper inbreed lines, get a "pure breed". simple as that. it goes for all animal breed lines.
This is literally like saying "our dogs are now less franken because we played around with their genetics a little more." Down the line, it still doesn't change the fact that they are inbred. Any pride and prestige from having a purebred dog is entirely superficial due to the fact that these animals are only given prestige by people like you.
The argument for "all animal breed" lines is pretty damn far out there when most animals that have been humanly inbred these days are not meant to be pets. They were meant to be beasts of burden or food. At least their purpose is based on something that we have a function for. Purebred dogs for the sake of purebred status is truly animal abuse in its purest form because you have no good reason to do it. At all.
a dog does not care about genetics as much. cross breeding lines may not make dogs less "frankenstines" but it does strengthen their genetics. just allowing a cross breeding one time can reset a genetic counter as to how inbreed the offspring are. the more you do this the stronger the line is as you diversify the genetic material in the off spring.
They're cute and unique, kinda like you.
My mut that I rescued from the pound always has been healthy. Stupid, but healthy lol.

@@joshmorgan4790 or don't get a "breed" at all, because breeds are not a thing.

And, while shelters are a wonderful option, they are not for everyone. Retail rescue is an unfortunate reality.

I'm not a pet person, and always thought competitive breeding was snooty, but since my hubby is a dog guy and we'll end up with one eventually, I figured I should learn about breeds and find out which I like.
Now I'm adamant I want a mutt!
I even explained genetics and in-breeding / cross-breeding to my 9-year-old and made her watch this video, lol! She's convinced she wants a mutt too; she said, "having different breeds is only a good deal for the people selling, but not for the dogs."
Exactly! I'd rather have something "ruined" and being exposed to the truth than keep living unaware that pure bred dogs are in fact INbred and that most of their genetic diseases and problems are in fact OUR fault :S It's definitely better to adopt than to buy a dog...
Well it depends on how you see it. He "ruins" how we used to see these topics and presents the truth behind them
Everything he said is true. I remember the first dog I got to take care of. They found it in front of a coffee shop and paid the guy inside 20 bucks to take it from him. He was a small puppy and we called him Charo (Tscharo) and he was so energetic and happy all of the time and he looked like a big fox with long beautiful fur.
Meow it is not a good video as it only talks about dogs looks and not their psychological traits, which is what truly matters. People originally started breeding not because they wanted cute dogs, but because they wanted dogs who could retrieve/hunt/pull/guard/herd better and more easily. Sadly today dogs are more often than not treated like objects or accessories to show off down the street. They are not given a chance to work, to behave as they should (see Labrador Retrievers: they are meant to be retrievers, but today people buy them just because they're cute and happy. And then they wonder why they are so destructive: they're frustrated!). So because people no longer care about a dog's temperament and purpose, but only about their looks, it's easy to end up criticising breeders, calling them criminals and preach about how adopting is better (when mostly people adopt so they can get a dog for free, without anybody interviewing them to see if they are the right owners for that dog type, as responsible breeders do).

I'm so glad that this video exists. I've been saying this for years. GET A MUTT and enjoy the delights of hybrid vigor!!
No such thing as hybrid vigor. It has been disproven that mutts are healthier. This is largely because the people who breed mutts don't do genetic testing. Many dogs in the shelter have hip and joint issues.
first dog I have ever had that doesn't have a joint issue- from a breeder.
Thank you Lauren!
Gamer Couple Reviews Yeah my dog is a mutt from a shelter and his hips are displaced. I still think we should adopt from shelters though.
i half agree that mutts may seem healthier and generally that can be true,not because its a mix breed though,it is because of what 2 dogs the puppies came from. good pure breds should have a health guarantee,which the breeder can back up with proof of the dogs ancestors health.but i agree that breeding dogs just for looks at the cost of their health is wrong. but if you want to see what pure breds where ment to be look up "Belgian malanois" and also "presa canario" they are pure bred working dogs that arent generally found in puppy mills :) p.s.i have 2 pound mutts :)
Hybrid vigour doesn't apply when mixing within a species, and because the range of mutts is so broad, no one focuses on the health issues. Of all the dogs I've met with hip dysplasia and luxating patellas (all things health testing can identify so dogs which are prone to these conditions won't be bred, by good breeders anyway), only one was a purebred. The rest of them (and I worked in a boarding kennels, so it was at least 20-25 dogs I met over those years) were your "healthy" "hybrids". And, just because, I had a lovely purebred for over 14 years. Never had any health issues in his life and was happy and healthy up until the week his renal system started to fail. Not genetic, not something that could have been prevented, and not something his breeder had ever seen in any of her dogs before, just bad luck that meant we had to say goodbye to him. From his litter, I know three of the others who are still continuing to do well. But god forbid a purebred be healthy right? It's called responsible breeding, and it works damn well.
"The fact that it exists is borderline animal abuse" finally someone said it.
It’s about time someone said this
We've been saying it for decades, it doesn't matter though as there is money to be gained from their suffering.
Frank Harrison barely any money, that is. For the people who aren't puppy Mills, they make... Let's see.. ALMOST NOTHING. Because they care to care for their puppies, and that totals to like 5-6000 dollars for one litter, and they only have one or two a year.
I'm confused, are you saying there isn't money in breeding? lol maybe amateur or casual breeders, but puppy mills and mass production facilities with poor standards and cost-cutting policies are what I was referring to.
Frank Harrison I said people who are not puppy Mills
puppy mills and mass production facilities can't get a pedigree
Yay Mutts!!! I keep telling people that they are the best. I think there is some sort of stigma because people associate mutts with being shelter dogs and shelter dogs often have anxiety or trust issues because of abuse or abandonment. And yes, a lot of shelter dogs do take time and effort, but isn't that what having a pet is all about? My dog Annie, she's no purebred and she is definitely neurotic and a little screwed up, but earning her trust and love has been rewarding. She's not some pretty little accessory, she is a person with her own thoughts, fears, and personality. Mutts are the best because they are often unexpected, you can't look up on a chart and see how they are "supposed to act" with their specially designed temperaments, you actually have to get to know the individual dog.
I have strong feelings about the ethics of dog breeding practices.

+kmsa21 Actually Pugs got it worse. I'm surprised he didn't mention the fact Pugs eyes will literally pop out of their head. The Irony being that this is caused by any pressure on the neck such as holding, petting or simply taking them for a walk on a leash.
You know being an affectionate dog owner. Not saying the Bull Dog isn't a genetic wreck. But think about it. A dog whose eyeballs could literally pop out of their sockets when just holding. That is sad on so many levels.

Breeding pugs and Bulldogs should be animal cruelty. They can't breathe from the time they're born to the time they die. It's horrible and I've met more Bulldogs with tracheotomies than without while working at a vet clinic
Anna Skupin my pug struggles, she runs around happy but every single second you hear it's loud breathing.
Anna Skupin I have a pug and he doesn't have much trouble breathing. You just need to keep them healthy and they will be happy little doggos.
LOLguy lol, you have never had a pug on an operating table. The great majority of them have airways f*cked up so badly we only do surgery if it is life saving. Something as little as kennel cough can kill them. There is no way to keep something healthy that was born sick.
jackalot irl vids That, my friend, is the sound of constant borderline asphyxiation. Do a little crossbreeding so they can breathe properly and then you will know what "running around happily" for a pug means.
Anna Skupin In many countries it actually is. The German Tierschutzgesetz bans breeding of animals if such breeding would imply unnecessary pain or suffering ("Qualzucht" - "cruel breed"), even though over here they are quite lame in actually enforcing that. Austria specifically mentions troublesome airways (among others) as a criterion to determien a breed a "Qualzucht" and apparently they are actually getting stuff done.
Have you seen a pugs skull, it looks like it's been bashed in with a bat.
Sara B So it’s Glenn in dog form?
_Lets get back to it_
William Wilkinson pug is going to kill a lion... 20 pugs couldn't kill a year old female.
Thanks for the future nightmares!
Pugs can barly breath there whole life
DANIEL your right there. I know of a pug whose owner has to shove a catheter down its throat, by passing the fucked up airways in its head, in order that it can go to sleep. British Bulldogs are in a far worse state than pugs. I looked after 2 B Bulldogs once for someone and I noticed that when it tried to sleep it would lie down with its legs folded up under it. This would stop its breathing and it would have to wake up. I had to shove a cushion under its chest just so that it could get some sleep. All brachycephalic dogs are in bad trouble.
I definitely find it amusing that he says they'll be happy and healthy.
Most trainers days are filled with fixing rescues with anxiety, reaction issues and resources guarding.
And no shelters do real screenings. We don't have OFA data on them
The difference is that has very little to do with genetics and everything to do with trauma that a rescued (remember the definition of the word rescue?) animal has to recover from. And aren't you glad people are bringing those dogs that need training to be safe in society to professional trainers rather than doing a haphazard job themselves?
100%. Dude doesn't understand that byb "purebreds" are NOT the same thing as a well bred dog.
And? That's what a trainers job is literally for in the first place, are you really rallying against shelters right now bro? And I can tell you this, I got a rescue dog and although he's had issues with anxiety he's now completely fine and happy. It honestly only takes a little time for the dog to get adjusted and learn that things aren't going to be like the past.
In the end, they are far more happy and healthy than any purebred abomination will ever unfortunately be.
@poppythedogofwonders
1. Nope, like I can personally promise you S&R trainers don't like wasting their time like that
2. You literally can't prove it, because they don't keep data. Until shelters start keeping data at as even half as widespread the rate as the rest of the dog world everything you say is just sound and fury signifying nothing.
@@poppythedogofwonders You miss the point of what was said. Many trainers now have to deal more with very messed up dogs because people do not know how to train them right in the first place, then dump them at the shelter. Then the dog becomes a worse mess because of the stress and neglect at the shelters. I can't stand to watch the video as I do not appreciate someone who is NOT in the dog world making judgements on it. Yes, there are problems with dogs that have been breed for too long with health issues. Yes, that should be addressed. And some breeders are doing so. But to say that mutts are soooo much better than a purebred is telling a lie. I have purebreds because I want to know what to expect from my dogs. I won't know that with a mutt. Can mutts be good? Yes, if you happen to get lucky and those traits that you can live with happen to be bred into that dog. I feel sorry for those people who adopt a dog that is all cute and cuddly, and they are told that it will be just a small dog, but it grows up to be Great Dane size. Or they get a mutt puppy that is cute and so attentive, then they find out that it is part Border Collie and requires MUCH more exercise and attention than the owners can provide. Why do you think that most dogs in the shelter are young dogs and are mutts??
Unfortunately, this is the same for cats too, purebred cats are nothing more than the mixing of other breeds and then continuous inbreeding to keep them "pure"
Also: Dude, just shut up and play with the puppy.
I never owned pure bred cats. The cats I had were mixed breed. Usually the vet refers to them as domestic long or shorthairs. I personally think that mixed breed cats are prettier then the pure breds.
As an insane cat lover, I'm sad to say, this is very true

We got a purebred dog for free because the man who had her couldn't care for her anymore due to work so he gave her to my dad. She even had official papers. She had a lot of problems. For the record, Daphne was a Boxer. Namely her claws had to be trimmed at the vets office because what the provide in pet stores arent strong enough. Her teeth got gnarly after about 7 years.
She developed mastitus with her first litter (purely accidental, she got out one night and didnt find her until 2 days later, next thing we know there's puppies. Which all died because Daphne couldn't feed them and it was only my mom who could feed them as I was only 8 at the time).
She developed warts that turned into tumors. She developed hip dysplasia then "doggie ALS" as the vet called it. After 13 years we finally put her down. She couldn't walk up or down the stairs without falling and she'd be crying in pain most of the time.

Jeez that’s dark
So all those dog breeds are actually just disabled dogs? Thats horrible. I would still get one of them from a shelter regardless of their genetic disability,
DogeWolfRocket Gaming not all dogs have genetic problems. I mean labradors and retrievers that have health defects aren't allowed to become guide dogs for obvious reasons. Clearly the likelihood of a dog having a genetic disorder is not as large as it seems in some cases
Some breeder cross breed or their dog so they can live longer
Yeah the probability is the same as some inbred monarchs had. If you breed with your siblings the chance of your child being prone to genetic disease will increase but it doesn't mean he will 100% get defects.
It’s ok if you adopt a dog and it happens to be a rescue, just don’t buy a purebred.
mimachu is adorable it’s actually highly likely. That’s why you can’t find a golden retriever that’s lived over 10
I have a "mut" that I adopted from Forever Homes New England Rescue. He is half beagle, half pointer, and he may even have some springer in him. He is extremely, loyal, loving, affectionate, and I wouldn't trade him for the world!
When my family gets a dog we choose the mutts from rescue centers always and usually the less cute ones because they're less likely to get adopted.
Utter Otter CHOICE how often y'all get dogs?
So you adopt dogs occasionally? Jeez, how many dogs do you have?
I love how he glosses over the fact that dozens of purebred dogs were once made with a purpose. Humans didn't do the shit for fun all the time. Poodles and Border Collies are two of the most intelligent dog breeds because they were bred to be smart. These breeds have history over hundreds of years.
Then take a more recent dog breed like the German Shepard. Sure it's lineage is barely 100 years old but it has done so much for police work and protection that it should not matter that they are a young breed. This goes for Dobermans and Rhodesian Ridgebacks as well.
Just because a dog is adorable and purebred does not mean that any mutt could do what it was designed to do as well.
***** Yes, he did, but he's also leaving out the fact that just about EVERY breed was created for a purpose. Rottweilers were originally cart pulling dogs, GSDs were bred to protect flocks of sheep and goats. Westies were bred to kill moles and rats, Doxens were bred to go after badgers in their holes... Pretty much every breed had a purpose at one point or another and were very healthy dogs. It's the shitty breeding that's happened over the past 100 years that's killed our breeds in terms of health, not the fact that they're purebreds.
Joelle Sullivan THANK YOU! you said it better than I could. But I must add that (from personal experience) even the lap dogs a lot of people think are worthless are also being trained for service work of all kinds, yes, the crazy small toy breeds are helping humans with medical and emotional disabilities. Breeding coupled with training has it's place, it really does.
Maybe that's why he said 90% of purebreds are bad Huh?
Lionbruh which still leaves him in the wrong, unless it's opposite day. Because the majority (globally speaking) of pure breeds are healthy, useful animals that can't be traded out for just any mutt breed. Ask any First Responder or Rancher or Police unit on that.
While I do agree that there are healthy purebred dogs and that we do need them and that they do have their purpose, I love my "any ol' mutt". She's my service dog and is a registered therapy dog. The only K9 officer in my hometown (he's a drug sniffer, not schutzhund trained) is a sweet old shepherd/hound mix. All dogs are wonderful creatures and should be treated and respected as such.

Motto of my life
I liked "is borderline animal abuse"
Literally would be something I'd say
My dog was an “accident” in a kennel club, so they booted her and her siblings to a local shelter. We got her because she was the sweetest dog at said shelter, but soon she was riddled with liver disease and for a long time, she had to have a feeding tube. Thats why i always kinda get mad when people talk about dog breeds like they’re beautifully healthy dogs, when really, they aren't.
I agree with most of what's being said here, however he does leave out the fact that mixed breed dogs have their own cons.
1) Just because they're mixed doesn't mean they're necessarily healthier. If they have a parent with health problems, those problems can still be passed down to the puppies, and mixing two dogs with different coat types could make it harder for their coats to be maintained.
2) Their personalities can be unpredictable. The thing that makes purebreds desirable is the fact that you can usually predict how they're going to behave, but getting a mixed breed without any knowledge of their prior behavior can make training and socialization difficult and is what leads to many dogs getting rehomed several times.
3) Mixed breeds like doodles can be exploited just as badly as purebreds. With purebreds you can at least find some truly ethical breeders that make sure their dogs pass health tests like OFA, have polices in place that in the event their dogs don't work out for you they must be given back to the breeders, and they will educate you on what to expect from their dogs and will make sure their applicant's will be responsible enough to care for those puppies and won't give their dogs to just anyone with enough money. Most doodles are not bred ethically and are an unfortunate result of the "designer dog" craze, and many people have false expectations of them because of bad breeder marketing. Again, all the problems I've already listed with mixed breeds apply to most doodles. With all of this being said, I don't discourage getting a mixed breed dog, nor do I think purebreds are the only way to go.
My hope is that when you go to get a dog, be cautious about the way you go about it. If you get a purebred make sure you do your research on what breed suits you and your family best, read a list of green flags and red flags to look for in dog breeders. I discourage buying a mixed breed dog from a breeder, and instead encourage rescuing a puppy or adult dog from the shelter, or better yet fosters who know the dogs first hand and tell you their experience with their dogs, and be prepared for any potential bad behaviors from a mixed dog that may be hard to train out.
I wish more people realized this
In what world is a Bulldog considered cute?
They look like my obese aunt wearing her early spring clothes.
`CyberCocoa ` in THIS world. Lots of people think they are.
Yep
I feel bad for the bulldog because the mother has to have a C-section by a vet to give birth to puppies. And they have trouble breathing because of their smooshed noses.
Harry Potter approves of this message
The cutest dogs are the ones who are ugly
I like how dog people post pictures that say "pure breed dogs protect historic breeds"
And purebred puppies cost like $1000 to $4000. Adopting a mutt is about $75.00.
Bill Olsen And that’s why there are so many (way too many) dogs in the world.
My purebred dog, a keeshond, was only like $600. I don’t think he’s too unhealthy and my family has had keeshonds for years. Tho if there are any major problems with this breed anyone knows about, please tell me.
Jalissa Jal Hi! If you’re looking for info on your breed, I’d recommend getting a book about it. The AKC website also offers some good resources, and if your family has had Keeshonds for years, then they’re probably a good resource as well! Just a side note, I think Keeshonds are adorable! I try to watch them showing every time we travel to show our Cavaliers. And the price of purebred dogs varies depending on the breed and registration level, so it’s really nothing to be sure of anyway.
Amen.

Go get a lurcher, they're really nice and generally healthy, but hey do need alot rof exercise (Lurcher is a term for non-specific sight hounds which are not purebred, they're mostly crosses of greyhounds with other large dogs)
+PlayingGoji What differentiates a wolf and a Husky (and other dogs) is that wolves don´t have that domestication build in them. so getting a pet wolf is very risky.
+PlayingGoji How about adopting a family member that is more natural? It is possible to get ''healthy'' dog breeds, but it is rare these days. Besides, their are a ton of different kind of pets to adopt. You could always a adopt from a shelter and not buy from a breeder?
+PlayingGoji We've essentially spent centuries breeding dogs to mentally remain puppies their entire lives. Dogs truly never "mature". They retain their puppy-like thinking, behavior, and reactions through their entire lifespans. This is why dogs are unlikely to ever challenge a human for dominance. Puppies are naturally submissive to the adults in their lives. Litters of puppies will often have loose hierarchies amongst themselves, but they are all submissive to adult dogs. Dogs view humans as the 'adults'. They may push their limits to see what they're able to get away with, but almost never will a dog treat a human the same way they would another dog that they consider lower in the food chain. They may decide they don't have to listen to what a human tells them, or not have to obey them, but this is not the same thing as considering themselves higher ranking, and expecting submission from you.
This is not the case with wolves. Wolves go through their puppy stage, and then they mature mentally as well as physically. Wolves become adults, and gain an adult view on the world. It takes considerable skill, knowledge, time, and experience to raise a wolf to behave anything at all like a dog, and even then they can never truly be trusted with strange humans and especially strange animals. People have had much better luck encouraging the wolves to be wolves, and instead working themselves in around the wolf's lifestyle rather than trying to fit a wolf to a human (or dog) lifestyle. Wolves have been raised with dogs and cats in the household that they were as sweet and gentle as could be with, and then they still turn around and rip any trespassing animal to pieces. 'Pet' wolves are extremely dangerous to have around children, or anyone who is not capable of handling themselves comfortably, confidently, and cooly around the animal at all times. Wolves are very much not like dogs. They may have similar body language and features, but that's about where the similarities end. If you raise and treat a wolf exactly the same as you'd raise and treat a domestic dog, someone is going to get hurt, period. Be it you, the wolf, your child, a stranger, etc. Someone is not coming out of that situation on top.
Everyone knows that dog breeds are artificially created. They are bred for looks or characteristics.
AxelQC that’s the point, it will eventually fail
Except for certain breeds like those of herding dogs like Collies and shelties as smart breeders actually mingle both breeds for sustainable development.
The average person does not know this.
retrievers and herding dogs are bred for specific reasons in hunting and such. most dog breeds are bred because they look cute.
I think it's fun rewatching now that I'm in the livestock breeding world. I do have a few addendums for modern discoveries and differences.
1. Some breed clubs actually allow non purebred dogs to apply to be part of the breed. If they look right and have the right temperament. I know this is a thing with a couple different collie breeds.
2. With the popularity of mutts and designer mixes now being a real issue, not all mutts are healthier. It's more a gamble with them while purebreds tend to have more predictability. (And worse outcomes depending on the breeder.)
3. It is good to take breed into account (since mongrels/mega mutts aren't super common) when adopting a dog. This is for temperament instead of appearance though. For example, I have pet rabbits. I'd want to look for a mix of a common livestock guardian dog who is known for being gentle with small animals, while I'd want to heavily avoid spitz/sled dogs because they have very high prey drives and tend to be brought to shelters for killing cats.

Psychic Hedgehog me too
I've never had a problem with a dog that I've adopted as a stray or as a rescue! In fact, the only time I ever had a problem with a dog was when my father purchased a Staffordshire Terrier puppy from a breeder, and gave him to my sister as a gift. By the time he was a year old, he bit the tip of my nose off and killed one of my cats. The nose I was pretty forgiving of; I was being stupid and he bit me, but the fact that he killed my cat, who had been around him pretty much since the day he was born, was my last straw. We took him to the shelter the next day, and I don't know what became of him. Watching this video pretty much confirms what I was speculating about dogs after that day.

Because they were a naturally developed breed and not created by European weirdos they are very healthy and have the longest lifespan of any dog breed (they can live up to 20 years). So yes they are tiny, but they're actually quite healthy and natural, as long as you don't inbreed them.
Janet Brock isn't there a condition that chihuahuas can have where their brain becomes too big for their skull?
laura doyle That's spaniels and there is some debate on whether it's true. Chihuahuas are hardy, intelligent dogs but almost every one I've met has been an untrained mess. They were bred for independence and rat killing, so they really need the same level of socialization and training as any high prey drive dog such as a malinois. When they don't get it they turn neurotic.
you forgot how aggressive they can be.
Janet Brock prove it.
Janet Brock Vet assistant here and I disagree with you. Chihuahuas have troublesome joints and also they are mental wrecks. The latter one is for two reasons: Firstly, they appear not to understand that they are small. They behave as if they were mighty like a German shepherd even though they are not. The second reason obviously are the owners. Chihuahuas are cute, if they destroy stuff or act agressively, that's cute and owners do not train their dogs. That is why they quite often are agressive and devious rats.
I've always kind of thought that about bulldogs... they just looked off to me.
B Elliott same, I always knew that humans made dogs to look a certain way, but the bulldog... The bulldog is like a toy to practice on
Actually many peoples are trying to stop some bulldogs breeding, and if you would report to it for the right peoples those peoples would be considered as animal abusers. This also depends on where you live.
B Elliott same here
I thought they were just cute fat dogs
why do people like the look?
Actually your point about the inbreeding isn't entirely correct. When a purebreed is considered a "pedigree", the breeders have made sure that the dog's genetic ancestry is as pure and consistent as possible while having as little amount of inbreeding as possible. This is actually a pretty serious issue among breeders of working dogs, I'm pretty sure. They come with a certificate if they're pedigree.
For example, the German Shepherd, used by police forces all over the world, is bred specifically for their fitness and intelligence (but more so looks if they're bred to be a show dog). If a GS was even slightly genetically inaccurate compared to other GS's, this could show up in it's level of fitness and intelligence. If it was inbred, this can show up in it's health. The police can't use a dumb, unfit and unhealthy dog, so they won't take anything that isn't meeting an incredibly high standard.
Moral of the story: get German Shepherds. They're awesome. They're also pretty cheap, at like $700 or so for a pedigree working-class puppy (in Australia), which are the ones you want to get. The show dogs are pretty much useless if you want intelligence (I think, don't quote me on that).
Actually German Shepherds have plenty of defects, and don't live very long without problems, especially hip dysplasia. The dogs purchased by military & LEO are selected and trained (at great cost) whilst you don't see the undesirable dogs represented. These dogs are far from perfect & exhibit aberrant behaviour, in some cases they must be euthanized.

Inbreeding is important to "fix" characteristics in a population which is why it's done. After 4 generations of free (cross) breeding dogs revert to their standard morphotype resembling wolves. Learn more about this here (the PBS Nova episode "Decoding the Dog" is not available to stream at this time):

Britt Childress Ah well, I'm probably biased haha
I see someone mentioned the hip thing on the german Sheppard breed don't forget digestive problems, skin problems, spinal fusion and abscess on pads so while they cost less the medical and special food costs add up fast as does the carpet cleaning from their constant diarrhea
German Shepards are still pretty cool though even if they have health defects. They are one of the most loyal dogs around and are some of the best companions to people.

I agree the health of pure breeds are generally fucked up BUT breeding "random mutts" ain't a good idea either. Breeds generally exist for a reason (hunting/herding/shepherding/guarding/and the fairly recent lapdog) and have been bred for hundreds if not thousands of years for these qualities (even if there was no 'breed standard' back then you till bred the best herding dogs with the best herding dogs). Mixing breeds without knowing what you're doing can get you a dog that isn't fit for any category. Yes, it might be healthier - MIGHT - because genetic variation is good for any species, but it might also end up being a 'nightmare' for a pet. For example, pitbulls are generally people-friendly but dog aggressive. Guess what happens when you mix that with a guard dog like the rottweiler, which is naturally inclined to be wary towards unknown people? It's so easy to end up with a dog that's aggressive towards humans. Mix a high-energy (very loud) husky an intelligent but i-do-what-i-want afghan hound? great, now you have a dog that will get out of any enclosure, will chase anything moving, can run for miles for 40 mils/h, and won't listen to a single word you say. Of course, the puppy can also end up getting all the good qualities and be a wonderful pet. But really, why would you try it? If there is one thing breeds are good for, it's that you know what you're getting.
Mutts don't need to be completely random. You can still selective breed while still mixing up the gen pool a bit.
I see why some breeds are kinda okay. Such as a hypo allergenic, and those bred for jobs that require a certain ability and mindset. But even some of those breeds would be better off with a little outside gene now and then.
I understand it's nice if you want a specific temperament. But if your like most people; just looking for a furry buddy to add to the family so you can take them on walks and adventures. Why not consider a rescued mutt?
I find pretty sad how many people treat getting a dog like picking out a dream item.
@@silverdaledrizzle780 of course, I agree with you. It was mainly the sentiment in the video that mutts are automatically healthier and "better" dogs I found a little lacking. I could also point out that I used to have a rescued pit/rottie and they definitely don't need to be aggressive, but it was easy to see "how" it could have turned out that way and you never really know beforehand. Sometimes the trigger is an accident that you don't have control over. There's also loads of purebred dogs in rescues too that need loving homes that understand their needs.
Well we are one of the cruelest and most aggressive races on the entire planet
FyreAndEis universe*
GenericAsian nope just planet. universe is a bit of a stretch
Are you a chihuahua? If so then yes very aggressive. As a wise man once said, “the only good thing about chihuahuas, is that, if they get rabies, you won’t be able to tell th fucking difference”
FyreAndEis cruelest maybe but not the most aggressive
Bit late on that one
My bulldog is a healthy 12 year old dog that's still very active, but has seizures about 3 times every 2-3 months. We love him, and have since bred him for another bulldog that has a breathing problem, but humans did this. Bulldogs have a tragic history of bullfighting where they were bred to hang on to bull's noses the longest, hence the name, bulldog. Bulldog owners smashed their face to hang on to the bulls longer. Bulldogs would be a lot better off if we didn't screw them over. The human race as a whole just sucks. We act like the world is our playground and I really hate it.
Not to mention we barely take him to the vet, we just give him worm and flea pills every now and then.
I really like this comment as I hate some parts of the human race too. While so many parts make me happy, much more things can make me angry. Also, I really hope your bulldog is doing OK. I didn't even know people did that to the poor dogs. SMH.
Thankful Square and that has to do with ?? I can still breed.
stolen memes you are part of them problem. just because you can doesn’t mean you should. You clearly don’t care about the breed and just in it for the money. no better then a puppy mill breeder.
stolen memes it would probably be better if humans were just gone
My dog is half Australian Shepherd and half beagle. When we were looking for dogs my mom was very specific to get a mutt. It's really sad how demanding and inconsiderate people can be by being so selective of breeding. When my mom was little she had a purebred German Shepherd and by the time Bambi was 11 she had no control over her bladder and could barely walk. As cute as they are, we should stop purebred breeding.
Why? So we can have dogs with unpredictable tempers, who aren't specialized for specific jobs, and used for specific purposes?
Raptor With a Gun You're missing the point. By pure breeding dogs, we're pretty much damming them to sickness and flat out horrible lives. I'd rather have a dog that isn't "special" and will live longer than a dog with cancer and maybe only six years.
Master Arcanine It's not necessarily pure breeding that's creating these problems, it's irresponsible breeding. While what's being said in this video isn't exactly untrue, it is exaggerated at times, such as King Charles Spaniels having skulls that are too small for their brain and Great Danes being too large for their heart, those aren't common breed traits, that's backyard breeding at it's finest.
Valid point. Unlike Raptor With a Gun over here, you give reasonable point. Dogs aren't supposed to have specific jobs, they're either supposed be are loyal and loving pets or allowed to roam wild in seclusion.
No, what I meant by that is that you have so many different breeds of dogs, such as Border Collies, valued for their intelligence and herding ability. Or the Saint Bernard or Bernese Mountain Dog, bred to withstand harsh temperatures to rescue people trapped in avalanches. Or the Belgian Malinois, used in the military to aid soldiers in various ways. It would be such a waste to demolish each breed despite their talent and individual prowess.
I've had three dogs in my life. Lady who was a lab mix, Otto, a Vizsla that we adopted after his previous owner's dogs started bullying him. He was mixed with something, we'd heard whippet, bulldog, boxer and several others that I can't remember. Our current dog, Pippin is a meximutt. All crossbreeds and all adorable.
Mutts are the best. Confirmed.
Horseluver4ever 1234 All dogs are equal. Confirmed.
Sniper Cat a mutt can come from literally anywhere...
I have a mutt. Lol
behold... THE CORGI!!!
Yo my dawg.
Love the profile pic
Corgis are actually not a newly created breed and are traditionally herding animals.......somehow
Interesting. How can you know if a breed is traditional ?
The destruction of mankind is coming, for the destroyer of worlds
THE CORGI!! *thunder*
ADOPT, DON'T SHOP
This!!
Exactly!!
Hi peta! How are ya?
It actually is a good idea to adopt rather than buy. Some shelters euthanize animals that they have for too long because they're taking up to much space. the above video also explains why it's a good idea to adopt from shelters rather than buy from a pet store. Believing that it's better to get animals from shelters doesn't make you part of peta.
+CluckyCluck Did I post a link of animals being skinned and boiled alive? Claiming that every time you buy an animal, this is what happens to the animals in shelters? No, no I don't think I did.
Get off the internet.
The only issue I have is that the little dog is healthier and will live longer (on average) than larger dogs. It’s kink if a mean assumption that the Chihuahua is not “happy.” That is a human emotion- look at the behavior.The Chihuahua can at least breathe and move around whereas the pug is is in visible distress.
can you actually see the pug suffocating?
