I drove past a dog play park during nearly hurricane levels of rain. All of the dogs were hiding under a tent except for one husky which was posed in the rain like the most majestic dog you’ve ever seen.
It was a good acknowledgment of the issue, but I wish he went into the importance of specific bloodlines amongst a breed. Like a GSD from Staatsmacht is going to be much more different temperamentally/physically than some random ASL German Shepherd. There’s too much criticism of breeders in general and not enough criticism of the specific problem which is back yard breeders, puppy mills, and show line breeders.
@@gracemarion5961 Quardes Von Der Staatsmacht lived to be 15 years old he was an 85 lbs GSD bred by line breeding. Meanwhile, many mutts of that size don’t live to be 13-14 years old but Stefan Schaub’s dogs live to be like 13-15 consistently. There’s a gene common amongst an Amish community (I believe in Indiana) that when homozygous decreases the affects of aging and increases the carrier’s life span by 10 years on average(Though when heterozygous it causes a Von Willbrand’s like disorder where their blood doesn’t clot) it regularly shows up in that tighter community but the average American has a like 1/70,000 chance of a mutation. Having decreased genetic diversity isn’t as bad as ya’ll make it out to be for animals in society as long as you effectively cull deleterious alleles. Dogs don’t exactly need to have phenomenal fitness especially considering there’s about 500 effective subspecies in Canis that despite most having low fitness could fairly easily cross with each other and easily become some of the most fit creatures in the world. Now yes, French Bulldogs are nothing more than genetic monstrosities and quite frankly disgusting, ugly, and utility wise useless and the majority of Frenchie owners are exceedingly annoying and the types of people I’d actually laugh at if an anvil fell onto their heads, but the brachycephalic breeds don’t represent all purebred dogs and I’m sick of people pretending they do. For that matter show dogs in general don’t represent pure bred dogs.
you also missed one important things about French Bulldogs: ALL OF THEM ARE BORN VIA C-SECTION. They're a breed that literally shouldn't exist, but we went full Jurassic Park and needed to get involved for some reason
Actually that is the english bulldog. With the french bulldog it is 50/50 c section vs normal birth. (Way too many) I never met a french bulldog without serious food allergies tho and they all cant breath. Also hd...
Man we got so insanely and ridiculously lucky with our French bulldog and it makes me sad how most frenchies aren't like her. She has had 0 health problems in 6 years, was given birth too naturally and also gave birth naturally. Literally one in a million dog.
Our family dog is a mutt and a rescue. He was found in a garbage bag at the side of the highway as a puppy. He is the absolute most silly, adorable, loving, compassionate, tender hearted little dude you could ever meet.❤
I got a rescue dog,had him DNA tested,and he’s a mix of 22 breeds. He was also tested for genetic disorders,and I was happy to see he wasn’t at risk of any of them. He spent his first eight years abused,neglected,and tied to an extremely short chain. Now he’s a happy,loving,energetic boy who’s living his best life! Vet says he’s the picture of health. Rescue dogs are always the best way when you want to get a dog!
@@thalmoragent9344 the rescue place I got him from do work at helping the rescues with behaviour,along with treatment for health issues. They do recognise that after the trauma these dogs have suffered,it can have mental and emotional effects. In the case of my dog,he was kept in the facility to care for him,then when he was ready,he was fostered by the CEO,along with other dogs,to help him adjust to day to day life. He still has things to work on,but he’s coke so far since I got him over a year ago.
@@thalmoragent9344 Adoption is extremely stressful for dogs. They've lost everything they used to know (good or bad) and are surrounded by everything new, with no control over where they're going or what's going to happen. If you were in such a situation, you would have issues too. The issues are not in the dog, they're stress induced. I'd say it takes about 6 months for a dog to fully settle, and I would advise everyone who adopts a dog to get mentally ready for a bumpy ride at first. It's so worth it though. But if someone is not ready to invest the effort, then it's best not to get a dog, rescue or not. Dogs are demanding animals, they're some of the most demanding pets you can have. That's one of the reasons why there are so many 1 year olds in shelters, someone got a puppy but couldn't manage a dog.
@@frusia123 My rescue dog ( bully breed mix of some kind ) has been extremely aggressive towards small children ever since I got her, and I have no practical way of socializing her with small children especially because of the bite fear factor. On top of the human aggression, she also has pretty bad separation anxiety that has thankfully improved with training. If I could go back in time and choose a purebred from an ethical and trustworthy breeder instead of impulsively getting a shelter dog, I would. This is not to mention the fact that a lot of dogs with behavioural issues have those issues from genetics, so no matter what, they *cannot* be trained out of the dog, even with hugs and kisses.
Inbreeding is a HUGE issue with labs and retrievers. Thats why when I got a black lab as a kid, my mom was talking to the owners (she was a 50/50 mix, parents were pure breed black lab and yellow lab) but they had all of the papers to prove they were not related and there wasnt any inbreeding in their family trees, along with DNA testing showing that they didnt have any of the big markers of inbreeding
I can attest to inbreeding being common with labs. My ex got a lab from his friends who were breeders(after getting to know them it came out that they knowingly inbred their dogs too). One day we ran into a neighbor with a lab and we very quickly realized our labs were first cousins, he got his from a breeder a state away from ours. It made me so sad and disgusted.
@@lookouthill11 It always makes me so sad. Labs have a special place in my heart, they always have so much love to give and an unbreakable spirit. The definition of "Mans best friend". They dont deserve the health issues they incur when inbred.
It absolutely sucks what we've done to labs. I'm looking into getting one as a service dog, and the price for a non-inbred working line puppy is 4-5k where I am if you self-train the tasks. Getting one that's been watched for 6 months and selected for SD aptitude is 15-20k. I don't know ANY disabled person with an extra 5k, let alone 20k
Used to have an Australian shepherd. She had an insane amount of health issues, pretty much all of the issues Aussies are known for having. She lived to 8 or 9 years(she was adopted, we weren’t exactly sure how old she was when we adopted her). We have a new dog, a mix breed. He has had 0 health issues beside some seasonal allergies. He’s an absolute sweetheart
@@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 I always assumed she was a rejected show dog. She had a unique appearance, and most unfortunately never knew how to play. She was bounced around a lot before she came to us
I made sure to buy an Aussie that had a good genetic bloodline. He's a wonderful dog. However, the breed does fall into this sad category of quick breeding with no regard for genetics at all.
My dog is a mutt from a rescue, and despite spending the first 10 years of his life neglected and malnourished, he is now the sweetest, happiest little creature I've ever met after living with us for 6 years.
It's because you are exciting your brain. It's like taking a depressant and a stimulant. Snorting coke as you sip your rum. It seems the same as a baseline existence, but it's actually a pretty stable rollercoaster.
There is tragic history of pugs in my family for literally no reason, my aunt had a pug that ate a little ceasears pizza (with box) and then died and then my cousin left her dogs home (German shepherd and pug) who were also perfectly fine together btw, alone to go run errands and she came back to the pug all chewed up and had to take it to the ER. Pug is still alive somehow.
The shit we did to pugs always makes me sad. I've never understood the appeal of how they look now, and then seeing old pics it's just like "oh, but that's fine and nice tho?" Modern dog breeds just feel like something out of a very particular era of history that I'm glad we've moved past elsewhere.
The whole disease part was so so fucking on point🤣 as someone who studied vet stuff for a while i can confirm that pugs feel like if you touch them wrong they will implode.
On a happier note, there are breeders in europe that are working hard to breed pugs to have longer snouts so that when you buy one you wont have to automatically consider the cost of having its air ways surgically opened in its first year of life.
those breeders are extremely unethical. i have not seen a single one prove their dogs, fully health test, and purchase their dogs from ethical stock. the issues pugs face can be avoided with ethical breeding, same as any other breed
Sorry but thats not a happy note. That just means they are stil breeding pugs when they should just stop, why keep breeding? Money!! And thats sad no matter how you look at it.
My family's dog (foxie x cavalier) was a runt and since she wasn't a pure cavalier, the breeders left her alone in their garage. Luckily my mum spotted her when visiting and immediately fell in love, the breeders literally gave her to us for like 20 bucks. Jokes on them, she was the smartest, kindest dog, and looked after my mum while she was going through cancer treatment. They've both passed since then, but my family agrees that she held onto life just to look after my mum. We really don't deserve dogs 💕
We rescued our German Shepard from a family that kept him in a kennel 24/7 except to take him outside on a leash. They had another dog that roamed free and he'd bite at the Shepard feet. When we brought him home,he was a mess, scared of all the room he had, and you couldn't go near his paws without him freaking out. We've had him for close to a decade now and he's seriously the best dog that's ever lived. All our cats love him, he's so gentle with our kids, an excellent guard dog, and just smart as hell. He also uses his paws to get attention now, he's not sensitive about them being touched. He's a little clingy, probably because of his puppy-hood, but that suits us just fine. I don't think id ever buy from a breeder, especially when the ones that really need us make the best dogs anyway.
The bone disorders for collies is VERY true. My collie (rest in peace) had one of the most violent cases of arthritis I've ever seen, she was such a trooper though she never let that get to her! Miss her every day ❤
Sadly where you get your collie matters hugely. I've worked with and had several collies over a 15 year period, and none had joint issues even into old age. They all came from loving breeders that did genetic testing and bred for health. Many of the issues Tugg mentioned for collies only happens in poorly bred dogs or from people who didn't care to do the proper research. which is why I never like videos like this. just lumps everyone into the same boat.
@@nanashiwolfIt might be slightly more nuanced but eugenics gets a bad rap for a reason For every dog rejected from the kennel club and neutered for having a hip with a 2-year warranty there's hundreds of perfectly healthy dogs whose tail didn't curl right that we're also neutered for that 1% That perfectly matches the breed standard and only carries the genetic disorder without displaying symptoms. Hell there's literally a genetic condition inherent to border Collies because there's not a suitable healthy population to maintain the breed standard without spreading the gene. Like 70% of them have this gene that That makes them over sensitive to all heartworm medications and many others.
@@nanashiwolf i don't think he intended to lump good and bad breeders together, since to me, this video was more about bringing awareness to the health issues dogs face because of how they're bred. it's great that you got healthy dogs from good breeders, unfortunately, it's not the same everywhere or for everyone. despite the many breeders who prioritize health and the dogs' wellbeing, we still have many who don't, and even more buyers who can't be bothered (either due to unawareness or ignorance) to do their own research.
Also surprised he didn't mention the Exotic Bully here, which is the biggest genetic dumpsterfire under the sun and should be high up on the high-costs-list. Doodles belong there too. Overprized mutts that are unpredictable, very high maintenance, backyard breeders and puppymills sell them for outrageous prices and will cost an arm and leg in the long run (especially when it comes to training and grooming costs).
god, i hate doodles. every dog that has bitten me when i worked at a kennel were labradoodles. labs are big babies, poodles are usually sweet, but put them together and you make a monster.
I never knew they were called exotic bullies. They are beautiful dogs, but some of them kind of remind me of the dog creatures from the original Ghostbusters .
Adopted a street puppy.. best decision of my life! Now I feed 10 of them from my colony too because strays give you so so much love, I have found a reason to live through them ❤
The random mutts I've had that were born in trash have had barely any health issues before they got old. On the other hand my purebred black lab is literally allergic to tap water and breaks out in hives constantly (especially with chicken and dog food without chicken is hella expensive) he's always itchy and gets scabs from scratching himself. It's not directly breed related but I just feel like there's a suspicious connection
@@R3DR0PE it was a friend of a coworker who decided to breed their dogs once before getting them fixed because they were akc. The puppies got all their shots and dew claws and removed and check ups so I don't think it was the breeders fault
I don't if my comment can help you, but my parent's lab has the same problem with itching. Food based on salmon helped, but it is expensive. Special shampoos against itching worked pretty as well
I spent a whole semester in college doing research and writing multiple papers about this exact topic and you summed it all up in an 11 minute video. Still, I’m happy the word is getting out there
that is quite often the case, inbreeding is one factor, the other is awful, unhealthy breeding aims and bad parent selection, over-exaggerating features, like ultra short or long snouts, heavy ears with too much fur, and not selecting well mannered based healthy dogs but well, multiplying what sell well and what people do not realise, a lot of the "exotic" rare colors like silver/blue, tan, that pale brown or Merle often come with a mix of genetics disorders attached or rather hidden Dalamtios often are/turn deaf because there is a link bewteen ear function and color pattern etc all the sh*t is driven by folks who want to own a "cool dog", no matter what and buy poorly bred animals
My family had this wonderful dog, and he was a show yorkie's litter reject. His mom's owners were my dad's acquaintances, they were breeding yorkies competitively and my dog was in the first litter. He and a few other pups didn't fit the breed standards, so the breeders gave them out for free, very grateful, in retrospect, that they didn't euthanise him and the other unwanted puppies, or did something else rather cruel. But our wonderful buddy and at least one other "reject" lived 'till almost 16, our dog was an active, bright, sassy, fantastic friend. And at the same time, the people who gave him to us, told us that all the other show puppies were gone before they reached 10, and they were very surprised ours lived that long
your videos are AMAZING dude. im so glad i came over to your long form stuff after seeing your shorts all over the place. you are absolutely hilarious and i see and appreciate how much effort you put into your content. KEEP IT UP MAN!!
When I was a kid, we had a boxer. At about 18 months old, my parents started noticing that she seemed to be in pain and took her to the vet. The vet would just pet her from her head down her back, as you would with a pet, and she screamed in pain. The vet looked at my parents in a "are you horribly abusing this dog" kinda way. After an x-ray (I think?)they discovered that she was chock full of cancer in her entire bone marrow.
My family has had a few dogs over the years. All of them have been mixes of some kind, but our tiny stray mutt from Tennessee is the most paradoxical. She had a had a number of injuries and issues that required vet visits, meaning that she has probably cost us more than the others, but she is also at least 16 years old, but still looks acts and is as healthy as she was when we got her.
I say it all the time. All my dogs have been shelter rescues, because I want zero part in that gross funhouse breeding that takes place. And since I like dogs 100+ lbs the most, which are much less likely to be adopted where I am, it works out even better. I get a new dog, they get socialized and trained in ways their former people couldn't handle, and I get an intimidating guard dog who really loves play time. It's a win win. My current dog is a Pyrenees Mountain Dog/boxer mix. I was warned about her "terrible attitude" and special hatred of bearded men (like me) more than a half dozen times before I even made it into the meeting room. The damned dog was standing on my lap licking the top of my head like she was searching for its candy center before I even knew she was in the room. She has rarely left my side since, has turned from a dog that half the rescue was terrified of into a love bug that enjoys everyone, and I still have the safest home on my street. All from a random, spur of the moment trip to the same shelter I've used for years.
1) a cockapoo is NOT a purebred dog. 2) rage syndrome is associated with spaniels, I believe Springer Spaniels. So the fact that it is a spaniel mix may have something to do with that. 3) rage syndrome is different than sleep startle reflex, which it sounds like you are describing.
Vet student here, I just attended a presentation on the evolution of dogs 2 weeks ago and pretty much everything you said here was said there. We are destroying man's best friend.
I have a mutt, and he is in fact the sweetest, happiest guy known to man. He’s super food-motivated, loves to hang out with us and play and never seems to get tired. We’ve had him about four years now. Best decision we ever made.
You posted this on my three year anniversary of adopting my own little mutt! Hes so sweet, loves cuddling, and loves being carried around like a human child (hes 9 lbs, part chihuahua but has nothing of the temperament). The worst hes ever done is sit and judge me from afar lol. Everyone who meets him falls in love. Like seriously i can't take him anywhere without getting a comment like "hes so well behaved!" mostly cuz hes adorable and just vibes instead of barking or something
Ok so my mom is a dog groomer and she recently got certified to give dogs massage therapy in order to calm them down for grooming and relieve tension. Especially for older dogs who could literally kill themselves because they get too stressed during grooming. And if they have hip displasia or anything like that, providing some joint relief and stuff like that. Now, in hindsight it’s a little ridiculous, but wayyyyy more understandable than a dog water park lol
That's amazing! Not ridiculous at all because it helps with multiple health problems. It's been a staple in the equine world with race horses as part of their upkeep. I'm a dog groomer who has been thinking about getting canine and equine massage therapy certified. Where did your mom get her training/certification? I've looked into the college route which would mean me going to school out of state, which is impossible right now. I also have been looking into the Equissage school which is in my state and has two accessible programs, a week long course and a weekend course where they send you a huge study packet prior to the weekend training/testing. I just don't know anyone who has been through either. I just need some insight. Thanks!!
The picture that you showed for “old collies” is actually a border collie. Two very different breeds. Collies are also a pretty healthy and stable dog breed when bred ethically, so I don’t see how humans “ruined” them?
As a veterinarian, I can tell ypu that french bulldogs and pugs have the worst nowadays. Thank you so much for the last message, if it reaches just one person you will have helped 2 lifes ❤
I believe french bulldogs just became the most popular dog (2022) in Uk and sickly ones are suddenly everywhere in NZ. I talked to a vet who was sick to be forced to do cesarians for backyard breeders. He wanted to close his practise to those breeds. But what to do when the breeders keep impregnating? Animal welfare legislation is needed. There is so much money in it. I have seen french bulldog puppies for sale for $11,000 NZD
Unconditionally love us? I like when ppl say this and totally forgot that their evolutional strategy is to get free food, safety and companion in exchange of some tasks they do for us. But with time they don't even need to do that we basically feed them, provide them a home, safety and they just cute. So they have a lot of conditions to love us
I feel lucky, because my mom bought a standard poodle from a trailer park, and he’s the most robust dog honestly. He’s the prissiest poodle stereotype ever, but he doesn’t have the slumped back and and metabolic issues that are so common.
Appreciate this! One of the many reasons I've had border collies is because they were bred for herding rather than some idiotic AKC standards. I was dismayed when they were allowed into the AKC. My sweet boy lived to be 17 with no health issues until the very end. Any dog that has extreme features (too big, too small, flat noses, weird coats, etc) is very likely going to have health problems because of intensive breeding for specific features while disregarding general health, intelligence, and emotional stability. This is genetics 101..
I think this is how it should be done. Dogs for a purpose with a purpose. Needs careful planning, and knowledge about gemetic and with today's technology we can gene test for the most common genetic issues, which can then be avoided with proper planning.
Yeah, shar pei are an ancient dog breed yet have gotten so screwed up in the past 60 years! The version of shar pei that was accepted into the AKC in the early 90s (despite proof of their breed existing in 200 BCE) is the bad version of them. I've seen one person claim that it was the dog fighters that bred dramatic wrinkles into the breed, but literally everywhere else says that the wrinkles were bred into them by unscrupulous breeders wanting to sell to Americans after the TIME magazine article released (early 70s). Either way, the wrinkles are a bacteria trap and I'm pretty sure are the reason shar pei will have eye problems. It's not uncommon for puppies to need surgery on their eyelids just to be able to open them! That meaty muzzle is possibly connected to a condition called *shar pei fever*! However, in Hong Kong, there are still some breeders dedicated to what's called the "bonemouth" shar pei and they look so much better! They're sleek, beautiful, and regal looking! If someone told you that was their guard dog, you'd 100% believe them! (Thankfully, my shar pei mix looks more like this version than the version draped in wrinkles.)
Thanks for this video. Regarding Samoyeds, according to what I had read before getting mine, Samoyeds are not particular prone to genetic deseases. This breed is supposed to be genetically quite close to the first ever dogs.
I grew up with a cockapoo, everything you listed is 100% accurate. He managed to live to 15, but yeah towards that point he was experiencing a lot of those issues you listed. I'll never forget him.
I need everyone to know that there’s a place in my town called “Laundromut” which is basically a laundromat but for your dogs, and it’s as adorable and ridiculous as it sounds. You can either drop off your dog and they’ll wash them for you, or you can wash them yourself in their big dog showers which is by far the more fun option
I work at a shelter and I don't necessarily agree with the "adopt don't shop" mentality. If you want a dog for a specific task, dog sport, or work, I think picking out a breed that is naturally inclined to do the chosen thing and starting young would be the best move. It can also be hard to find dogs that are dog, cat, and kid friendly. I understand it's very different on other places but I live in New England where we have to transport dogs in from other states because we don't have enough of them!
@@toriosbourne5837that’s true. For example, if you’re ever looking for a good bird hunting dog, I’d recommend looking for a rescue from a German shorthair rescue operation, like Southeast German Shorthair Rescue if you live in the south-east United States. My family fosters dogs through that organisation, and there’s a lot of dogs in need of homes just in that one specific niche of a dog breed. It’s very easy nowadays to find a dog that suits your needs through a shelter or a specific rescue organisation.
omg yeah definitely. If you do the proper research on the breed AND the breeder, getting a pure breed isn't the worst. You might have pet allergies, and want a dog that won't shed as much/is allergy friendly. And yes genetics play a role: get a collie if you want a herding buddy. And as someone who works with "problem dogs" at my local NE shelter you are so right. It pays to visit, check to see if your shelter has the right fit, but sometimes you can't drive/ship/fly that perfect shelter dog to you. It's all about where you live, and what you're willing to pay. ALL dogs deserve a good fit (I would die for the ones at my shelter). Just be responsible and always check a shelter FIRST.
Sadly we’ve always gotten mutts and have had bad luck with their health. First pupper passed away due to cancer when he was only 6, and my other doggo had a slipped disc in her spine that paralyzed here from the neck down; she was 7. Luckily my current shitty but cute house guard is 7 and seems to be in perfect health. I pray he lives a long healthy life.
@@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 If you go to a responsible breeder who health tests then the chances of a pure bred dog having all the severe health issues mentioned in this video goes down dramatically and no mutts are not healthier then well bred purebred dogs who have genetic testing.. that's just not how it works
@@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 I personally hate the idea of purebreds… not just because the moral practice of it, and unethical ways it’s conducted, but food doesn’t taste good when it’s all the same flavor, art isn’t pretty when it’s all the same shade of one color. Along with that, every breed has pros and cons… only by mixing them can you end up with dogs like “scout” who’s a great field dog, and dogs like “barkus” who are great snuggle bears who weight 80LB but insist they’re lap dogs. lol
i'm going to assume you have no idea why we have purebred dogs nor have you done any research into the topic, purebred dogs exist because dogs were bred to work for us, to do jobs and aid humans in things such as hunting, protection, herding, fetching, flushing, scenting, digging, ratting, ect ect these dogs were picked for their temperment, their body and physical apperance and also what coat/groom would work best to keep them safest while doing their work. This helped the dogs stay out of injuries and also function properly doing their job. These breeds have existed for over 100 years, and newer ones around 40-50 excluding designer mixes. And have a lot of very rich history that should be preserved because it is our history as people and as a society and specific traits that can only be carried on through members of their own breed this is because these genetic traits can only become ingrained through generations and generations of selective breeding to get a dog perfect for a specific job, these traits cannot be replicated in mystery mixes. people, a lot of people still rely on dogs for jobs and even if they didn't there is nothing wrong with wanting a stable dog. I know for the avarage pet owner it seems like 'well i don't work my dog why are breeds important' but there's a lot more too it than that. When you are buying a purebred you are getting not only a very good dog, but the structure and the temperment for that breed. It is stability, and stable dogs keep the general public safe. The issue is a lot of the education surrounding this topic became out of fashion, people want cute dogs but don't want to actually be involved like they used too. So we get what once was a very good breed completely scrambled because it got popular with people unwilling to actually learn about the dog they're getting. And because dogs with poor temperments flood the market, you get the rise of demand for mixes because they are seen as better and this goes hand in hand with the misinformation that all purebreds are unhealthy and will die early. Adopt don't shop was meant to try and combat this issue before it became what we have now, it used to mean 'don't buy from a petstore/puppy mill' but it didn't stick and we are now reaping the consequences and telling everyone who wants stable dogs to go f* themselves because everyone should rescue which doesn't actually fix the issue or make a dent into what needs to be done for dogs. mutts are good and so are purebreds. but in the end. all dogs deserve to be wellbred. @@congruentcrib
@@congruentcrib I have a purebred shiba because I know what to expect from that particular breed. I don't want to gamble with a mixed breed rescue and then have to deal with the aftermath of it attacking my neighbor's kids unprovoked. You are horribly misinformed over Purebreds.
i have a dog that had heart worms and cost 20$ at a shelter and she’s literally the sweetest thing ever. she’s attached to my mom and they have an amazing bond and she was the only dog at the shelter that didnt try and jump on me. i love her so much and i don’t think i would been as happy with a purebreed dog from a breeder that costed 2000$. shes the goodest girl
Actually our dog was having lower spinal issues for months. She was in so much pain she would yelp all the time, and she couldn’t bend down properly to poop which led to way worse issues. The vet had us take her to a reputable dog chiropractor, and after helping to alleviate the pinched nerve after like 2 or 3 appointments, she’s like a whole new german shepherd. She runs around and plays again!
Exactly. It's not pseudoscience. You literally get a medical degree for it. Our bones naturally move around and sometimes they get stuck and you just need a little extra help. I'm going into veterinarian chiropractics and my papa is a chiropractor and has been for damn near 40 years. Im so happy your dog got help so she could be herself again
I know, dogs have bones just like us and yeah, bones move around lol. When he said Chiro was a pseudo science I'm like, "well then pseudo science helped my back like hell then..."
This makes me think that Jack Russels are some of the best dogs. I have one who is 15 years old, and hasn’t aged a day in her life. She is my life and joy, and is 100% healthy for her old age. I wish everyone would be happy with a dog like her. If you’re looking for a good dog with a long lifespan, get a JRT!
Yeah I grew up with a Jack Russell and they're awesome. I think they're a fairly recent breed right? Up until not too long ago they were primarily bred as vermin hunters so that's probably why they're so healthy. It seems that when people start breeding for looks as opposed to health and temperament a lot of issues happen
This might be moot since I don't care for dogs, but in my experience Jack Russel's are way too hyper, wiggly, barky (and a high pitched annoying one at that), constantly getting into things, digging like crazy (I know what they were bred to do so I get it but, that's again, a reason I don't care for them), they just don't seem like a fun dog to own. I'm glad you guys have had great JR's, there's always a good dog in every dog but---I don't know how you put up with the rest, it would drive me absolutely MAD.
I literally adopted a shelter dog by accident (kinda lol). I had been living with my now-fiancé for a year after moving from home, and was very used to having dogs growing up (we always had at least one). So I was starting to miss having a furry friend around, and I knew my fiancé loved dogs, too, but was scared of the commitment (which, to be fair, our shit was not fully in order at the time so valid). But I really just. Wanted some dog time, so we agreed to go to the local SPCA and see the dogs. We saw many cute dogs and I wish I could’ve taken them all home, of course
Oh don't you worry, I believe you. I have my very own Border Collie mix I got from a shelter and she's just a lazy bundle of pure jealousy. The only times she moves is when she thinks we are petting something else and that has occurred with me literally just reaching for my school bag.

Purposely bred dogs are needed. Ethical breeders are needed. Dog show (Conformation) is to evaluate each breed to their standards. Remember also, purebred doesn’t mean wellbred.
I have an Afghan hound and they’re actually one of the breed that hasn’t been really changed from their original looks. The long coat and the way they’re built is based on their environment and what they were bred for. Please do your research more before judging breeds or purebred dogs in general. 90% of dog owners who have purebred don’t source them from ethical breeders, that’s why there’s so much health issues. Ethical breeders only breed to better the breed’s health and temperament
I always hate when people choose to get pures for their first dog, since it never seems to end well for that pup. Adopting an older dog is always a way better idea for people's first dog, they're way less likely to have issues and my own personal mutt is amazingly behaved!
When I was a kid I had a golden retriever that was adopted from a golden retriever rescue. She was 1 when my family adopted her. Yet by the time a was a junior or senior in highschool she had to be put down due to illness.
I have both a mutt and a pure breed malamute. Both are fantastic dogs so if you are looking to get a pure bred dog make sure it's coming from a ethical breeder that is doing full health testing, temperament testing, OFAs or penhip, and will take the dog back at any point in their lives to keep them out of shelters
I knew about pugs, but I had not heard of labs having that many health issues. Poor things. About the Chiropractors, i dunno. I messed up my back once, and it took months to get back to normal, the next time I pulled something, the doc had me feeling better in a week. This was the type of pain where my legs were giving out, I almost had to call someone to drive me home. Not saying it works for everyone, but it worked for me. I've had some friends that went and it didn't work for them. Some things can't be fixed.
Wellbred labs do not have these issues. When something becomes so popular, the quality decreases. This literally applies to everything, clothes, franchises, food, etc.
The rage syndrome is inherited from cocker spaniels. I had a cocker spaniel that had it, he would randomly snap at any of us and for a few minutes he was like possessed, then back to normal like nothing happened. Oh, and he also had cancer in his later years. Now I'm enjoying my 2 rescue "mutts" that are so lovely and look healthier than any "pure-bred" I got to know. They still get me mad from time to time when they steal the food from cats, while their bowls are full 🙄😄
This feels like such an obvious CLASSIC Tugg topic that I'm surprised there hasn't been a video on one before. Proper Mandela effect territory I swear I've seen this before 😂
Many of these health problems occur due to improper/no health testings and mass breading for profit by puppy mills and irresponsible breeders. Please for the love of God get your dog from a responsible breeder. It will cost more (sometimes less because puppy mills artificially jack up the prices of popular dog breeds) but youre paying for a healthy dog thats not going to have mental/physical problems in the future as well as a connection to a breeder that can provide help with your dog
YES! I have a working english springer spaniel (4 months) and the breeders had all the genetic information posted and a link to a database with the dogs information. AND I found out later that the springer club they bred under is VERY carful with puppies, even requiring breeders to make breeding request for dog pairs to make sure that they genetically (on paper at least) should produce healthy puppies. We paid 1500 euros for him, but so worth it since the breeders have even given us some help with training. NOT all breeders are like this but I wish they were, because Mixed or pure bred we should be doing what we can to make healthy puppies.
Love that this is coming out so close to Christmas when many of these breeds will likely be purchased and in Houston where I live likely added to nextdoor to rehome by April.
Tbh I've always found it so weird whenever my friends or teachers had a perfect, fluffy dog while I was happy with my 14 mutts, half of them being fosters. Quantity over quality guys 👏👏👏 (no but seriously why get only one dog with a million health problems when you could get ten that are probably cheaper as a whole to take care of anyway)
I wouldn't even call it a quantity over quality tbh. Mutts are healthier and can also be cute; with less of the diseases that pure breed dogs get. Literally better quality of life. So it's both quality and quantity.
My step mom has been trying to breed her French bull dog for the past year now and it honestly disgusts me. It's gotten to the point where she will show me the cutest dog ever and I'll be like "oh that's cute" and her response is "pff!! That dog is so ugly? Do you not see it's color and it's this and that and blah blah blah?" And she'll show me the most ugly, smashed face, bug eyed dog I've ever seen and say "oh they're supposed to look like that" and I guess for frenchies, to breed them they can't have sex. The cannot preform the physical act of having sex to reproduce. They have to inject the ball juice into the female dog and half of the time, the females can't give birth and need C-Sections. The entire dog breed is an abomination to the species
When I heard the part about the water park I could just imagine my beagle mix there. My dog is literally scared of rain, I couldn’t imagine him being in a full on water park 😂
My aunt used to have a cockapoo and his name is Remy and he would always act so sweet around me but when my aunt would get near him he would lash out. When she eventually had a kid she had to get rid of him because she was afraid that he would attack the baby.
My family owns 2 German shorthair pointers, both from different breeders. We also foster rescue GSP’s. If you ever buy from a breeder (however I don’t recommend because there’s plenty of dogs in shelters that you could adopt. We were fairly ignorant when we got our dogs about all the shit that comes with pure bred dogs.), make sure you know the medical records of the parents and preferably grandparents of the litter you’re wanting to get a puppy from. Also if you’re able to meet the parents of the puppies in person to get a feel for how big the dog is gonna get, their build, temperament and everything. If those dogs have been treated well, if they don’t have any issues on their records, if you think the breeder is a genuinely good person, that is the only time you buy from a breeder. There are way too many unethical backyard breeders out there who treat their dogs like shit. We’ve fostered enough rescue German shorthairs and I’ve seen some of the mother pups they throw out when they’re no longer useful for breeding, it’s so disheartening to see the state they’ll come to us in. We had a 3-4 year old foster a few months ago that had at some point probably been pregnant 2-3 times, and had just had a litter before she was abandoned. TLDR: get a dog from a shelter. If you really want a dog from a breeder, do all of your due diligence on the breed and the breeder beforehand.
Really nice comment, thank you. I got my dog from a breeder 4 months ago and did just the things you advise. The little girl has good health, good temper, and the last but not least I like the breeder as a human, also she still asks me about how the puppy she sold me is doing, after few months, and says to contact her without hesitation if I need advise. She even helped me to get big packs of dog food with a discount couple of times.
My family had this rescue dog who was a Rottweiler/black Labrador mix and she was one of the nicest dogs; actually beings, I've ever known. She was found wandering along a highway and had ran away from her previous owners, they didn't want her back so she was sent to the pound. My dad then adopted her and brought her home. Everybody loved her so much, despite her unusual habit of constantly eating shit, like actual fecal matter, and she did it till the day she died. She'd always watch over me and my siblings when we were little and my dad when he worked on the house. She lived for 16 years, 14 with us, and we miss her every day. So, like Big Tugg said, always adopt shelter dogs; they have so much love to give.
Also, the chiropractors part is kainda true but holy Jesus when you have an actual back injury that does not let you sit without having pain, they are life savers.
The sad part is that even in shelters are filled with pits/pit mixes. The dog breed bred for bloodsports and known for mauling people (Fifth Estate - Pitbulls Unleashed), most are also backyard bred by criminals. 🤦♀️ (I saw two guys crossing the road near my house with two female pits who look liked they barely birthed a litter) 😔 There was a crackhouse near my cousins, they had three just roaming around the street! 🙀 Thankfully, our city trapped one and raided them.
In addition to the golden retriever problems caused by poor breeding, is Golden Retriever Uveitis. Essentially it causes vision loss and severe eye pain and often leads to Glaucoma. Our family Golden Retriever named Ada was diagnosed with this when she was about 8 or 9 years old back in 2016 and ended up having her eyes removed in 2017 as they no longer functioned and were only causing her pain. She was so much happier to not be in pain and with some special tools such as an intella structure made from zip ties attached to her collar to allow her to detect objects before she hit them and a tennis ball with a bell inside of it to play fetch and a new command "steps" to tell her that she was approaching a set of stairs she was able to still fully enjoy a mostly normal life for a dog even without her eyes. I swear she still knew when people were looking at her because anytime someone looked at her she would look right back at them. She also had no trouble finding the geese, ducks, or seagulls in the water... except when she touched the water realized it was water and hightailed it out of there. She ironically never liked to swim or be in any sort of water even when she could see. She was an amazing dog, she passed away in 2021 from cancer. She was loved by everyone that met her.
if you just really, really want a specific breed like pug or cockapoo, there are breed-specific rescues. puppies even, but benefits of getting a dog that is out of the puppy stage: usually housebroken, know basic commands, and their personalities have become more stable and recognizable so you can have a better idea of which pup fits your home best.
Yeah, I hate the advice to new dog owners that's just "get a puppy! You can train them to be whatever dog you want". It's super dismissive of how hard it can be to appropriately raise a puppy! And some puppies get removed from their mothers way too soon. Dogs end up at shelters or rescues for a variety of reasons from "rescued from bad people" to "we're moving to somewhere this dog can't come" to "I just don't want a dog anymore" to "a ton of bad things happened to me and I can no longer take care of my dog". I ended up adopting a 5 year old shar pei/husky cross (didn't know about the husky mix at the time as only 2 people have ever guessed that she was a husky mix) and she has been such a wonderful dog! She's well socialized with strangers, other dogs, and children. She knows some basic tricks and is housebroken. She's relaxed in the apartment and also a tireless hiking companion (we hiked over 10 miles in one day and she was still raring to go). She's also very quiet! She's got some foibles like pulling and just absolutely should not be left alone with other animals, but I find those to be acceptable for my life. I'm thinking of trying some light sledding with her this upcoming winter to satisfy her need to pull.
@@Noone-d6u if you choose to have such a breed there is no way around that, it IS the breed. but they still need homes and love and have those special needs on top, which a new home can provide without paying irresponsible breeders.
I have only one dog from a breeder. A $700 dollar catahoula who is more healthy than our newest catahoula mix and our senior aussie mix. Our catahoula mix is missing an eye and deaf, but she is currently healthy otherwise. My step mom just got a yorkiepoo named Chip. We have an aggressive staffy mix. Holy shit, was I terrified for this poor baby. He got attacked by Dory today and is somehow not dead or bleeding. I hate that they thought they could get another dog.
My mom had a mini poodle when I was a teenager that definitely had rage syndrome. He growled a lot when he wasn't angry, and one time when he was just waking up on my mom's lap he bit her so hard that he broke a couple of bones in her hand. He was a good boy though.
I have adopted two dogs. My 1st dog was a ShiTzu Yorkie mix. Even being a mix, he had a lot of health issues. Our first rescue, Lucy, was a pitt bull mix. She was very reactive and had a lot of issues, including violent outbursts. We spent thousands on training for her. She was very traumatized by her early life experiences. 2nd rescue is a German Shepard mix mutt, and she is the sweetest dog I have ever had. My recommendation to anyone wanting to adopt, is to go through a pet rescue who uses fosters and has a good reputation. It was great to have some background on our rescue and more information about the kind of dog we were adopting. Labradoodles are supposed to be very difficult to train, from what I hear.
you forgot to bring up the king charles cavalier spaniel, who are often borne with BRAINS TOO BIG TO FIT IN THEIR SKULLS, resulting in agonizing dog migraines, seizures, paralysis, and death
Awww thank you for this video tugg! You’re making me miss my fur baby. We adopted him and he gave us the best 10 years ever, he was so lovable and sweet.
My dog was a mutt, mixed between husky and golden retriever. He was very beautiful, he had perfectly snow white hair as a puppy, until he started developing golden strands of hair where a husky's normal pattern would be. Because of the golden retriever side, he caught cancer at ten years, a couple months ago. I felt I'd have more time with him because he was a mix breed, but those cancer causing genes still passed on from the golden retriever side, and he caught an aggressive form of cancer that just hit us by surprise. Mix breeds often live longer, but do be mindful that some things can still be unpredictable, so love them as much as you can while you have em, which should just be a rule with all dogs.
Goberian? 😅 hope your cutie makes it through. Our dog had cancer at 12years old and we started to play her healing subliminals on YT and she lived another 3 years with the cancer dissolving but then came back at 15years and she passed. X
I kinda wish a bit more research had been put into the first part of this video about purebred dogs. For example, a picture of a Sheltie was used for a Rough Collie, and the picture of what Collies "used to look like" was actually of a famous Border Collie, Old Hemp.
I understand your message, but you kinda skipped the part where you talk about the dangers of mixbreeding dogs, it's not all sunshine and roses either. If you want to get a mutt, go for it. If you want a purebred dog, buy it from an ethical breeder who proves and health test his dogs. Don't get a "purebred" from backyard breeders, please, I beg you. Don't get dogs from shops either, dog shops buy puppies from dog concentration camps.
Thanks so much for this video! The rampant breeding is insane. And yes, people have gotten WAY too crazy with the animal love. Humanizing them to insane levels has made people just do THE most. And it's not good for the dogs.
I drove past a dog play park during nearly hurricane levels of rain. All of the dogs were hiding under a tent except for one husky which was posed in the rain like the most majestic dog you’ve ever seen.
That husky must've been the chosen one. The hero we don't deserve, but the one we need

As a vet, thank you for this message. We talk about this all the time and it feels like we're just screaming into the void.
It was a good acknowledgment of the issue, but I wish he went into the importance of specific bloodlines amongst a breed. Like a GSD from Staatsmacht is going to be much more different temperamentally/physically than some random ASL German Shepherd. There’s too much criticism of breeders in general and not enough criticism of the specific problem which is back yard breeders, puppy mills, and show line breeders.
I feel like if we said what we mean and call them 'incest bred dogs' to their faces instead of 'pure bred dogs' it might get through to people
@@gracemarion5961 Quardes Von Der Staatsmacht lived to be 15 years old he was an 85 lbs GSD bred by line breeding. Meanwhile, many mutts of that size don’t live to be 13-14 years old but Stefan Schaub’s dogs live to be like 13-15 consistently. There’s a gene common amongst an Amish community (I believe in Indiana) that when homozygous decreases the affects of aging and increases the carrier’s life span by 10 years on average(Though when heterozygous it causes a Von Willbrand’s like disorder where their blood doesn’t clot) it regularly shows up in that tighter community but the average American has a like 1/70,000 chance of a mutation. Having decreased genetic diversity isn’t as bad as ya’ll make it out to be for animals in society as long as you effectively cull deleterious alleles. Dogs don’t exactly need to have phenomenal fitness especially considering there’s about 500 effective subspecies in Canis that despite most having low fitness could fairly easily cross with each other and easily become some of the most fit creatures in the world. Now yes, French Bulldogs are nothing more than genetic monstrosities and quite frankly disgusting, ugly, and utility wise useless and the majority of Frenchie owners are exceedingly annoying and the types of people I’d actually laugh at if an anvil fell onto their heads, but the brachycephalic breeds don’t represent all purebred dogs and I’m sick of people pretending they do. For that matter show dogs in general don’t represent pure bred dogs.

I dunno, some rescue dogs can come with issues that may have been problematic for a long while that most don't know about.
Glad you got lucky though
@@thalmoragent9344 the rescue place I got him from do work at helping the rescues with behaviour,along with treatment for health issues. They do recognise that after the trauma these dogs have suffered,it can have mental and emotional effects. In the case of my dog,he was kept in the facility to care for him,then when he was ready,he was fostered by the CEO,along with other dogs,to help him adjust to day to day life. He still has things to work on,but he’s coke so far since I got him over a year ago.
@@thalmoragent9344 Adoption is extremely stressful for dogs. They've lost everything they used to know (good or bad) and are surrounded by everything new, with no control over where they're going or what's going to happen. If you were in such a situation, you would have issues too. The issues are not in the dog, they're stress induced.
I'd say it takes about 6 months for a dog to fully settle, and I would advise everyone who adopts a dog to get mentally ready for a bumpy ride at first. It's so worth it though. But if someone is not ready to invest the effort, then it's best not to get a dog, rescue or not. Dogs are demanding animals, they're some of the most demanding pets you can have. That's one of the reasons why there are so many 1 year olds in shelters, someone got a puppy but couldn't manage a dog.
@@frusia123 My rescue dog ( bully breed mix of some kind ) has been extremely aggressive towards small children ever since I got her, and I have no practical way of socializing her with small children especially because of the bite fear factor. On top of the human aggression, she also has pretty bad separation anxiety that has thankfully improved with training. If I could go back in time and choose a purebred from an ethical and trustworthy breeder instead of impulsively getting a shelter dog, I would.
This is not to mention the fact that a lot of dogs with behavioural issues have those issues from genetics, so no matter what, they *cannot* be trained out of the dog, even with hugs and kisses.

Me too, buddy, me too
Inbreeding is a HUGE issue with labs and retrievers. Thats why when I got a black lab as a kid, my mom was talking to the owners (she was a 50/50 mix, parents were pure breed black lab and yellow lab) but they had all of the papers to prove they were not related and there wasnt any inbreeding in their family trees, along with DNA testing showing that they didnt have any of the big markers of inbreeding
I feel like this should be the standard and not the deviation
I can attest to inbreeding being common with labs. My ex got a lab from his friends who were breeders(after getting to know them it came out that they knowingly inbred their dogs too). One day we ran into a neighbor with a lab and we very quickly realized our labs were first cousins, he got his from a breeder a state away from ours. It made me so sad and disgusted.
@@lookouthill11 It always makes me so sad. Labs have a special place in my heart, they always have so much love to give and an unbreakable spirit. The definition of "Mans best friend". They dont deserve the health issues they incur when inbred.
It absolutely sucks what we've done to labs. I'm looking into getting one as a service dog, and the price for a non-inbred working line puppy is 4-5k where I am if you self-train the tasks. Getting one that's been watched for 6 months and selected for SD aptitude is 15-20k. I don't know ANY disabled person with an extra 5k, let alone 20k
I have a border collie and a Labrador mix, I don't know what to say more.
Used to have an Australian shepherd. She had an insane amount of health issues, pretty much all of the issues Aussies are known for having. She lived to 8 or 9 years(she was adopted, we weren’t exactly sure how old she was when we adopted her). We have a new dog, a mix breed. He has had 0 health issues beside some seasonal allergies. He’s an absolute sweetheart
Yea, we had a mixed-breed dog who was fucking immortal, he lived for 25 years with no health issues right until the very end.
@@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 I always assumed she was a rejected show dog. She had a unique appearance, and most unfortunately never knew how to play. She was bounced around a lot before she came to us
I made sure to buy an Aussie that had a good genetic bloodline. He's a wonderful dog. However, the breed does fall into this sad category of quick breeding with no regard for genetics at all.
it sounds like a poorly bred aussie.
„It looks like they strictly chase parked cars“ made me laugh so hard for some reason

There is tragic history of pugs in my family for literally no reason, my aunt had a pug that ate a little ceasears pizza (with box) and then died and then my cousin left her dogs home (German shepherd and pug) who were also perfectly fine together btw, alone to go run errands and she came back to the pug all chewed up and had to take it to the ER. Pug is still alive somehow.
The shit we did to pugs always makes me sad. I've never understood the appeal of how they look now, and then seeing old pics it's just like "oh, but that's fine and nice tho?"
Modern dog breeds just feel like something out of a very particular era of history that I'm glad we've moved past elsewhere.
I want an old pug. I've read about breeders trying to make "retro pugs" (aka pugs with an actual snout) and I hope that's successful

On a happier note, there are breeders in europe that are working hard to breed pugs to have longer snouts so that when you buy one you wont have to automatically consider the cost of having its air ways surgically opened in its first year of life.
Retro Pugs.
those breeders are extremely unethical. i have not seen a single one prove their dogs, fully health test, and purchase their dogs from ethical stock. the issues pugs face can be avoided with ethical breeding, same as any other breed
Sorry but thats not a happy note. That just means they are stil breeding pugs when they should just stop, why keep breeding? Money!! And thats sad no matter how you look at it.
We have a Chihuahua-Pug mix (Chug) and her snout is extended out because of the Chihuahua side. She is also very small.
Not happy, those retro pugs actually have just as much issuee
My family's dog (foxie x cavalier) was a runt and since she wasn't a pure cavalier, the breeders left her alone in their garage. Luckily my mum spotted her when visiting and immediately fell in love, the breeders literally gave her to us for like 20 bucks. Jokes on them, she was the smartest, kindest dog, and looked after my mum while she was going through cancer treatment. They've both passed since then, but my family agrees that she held onto life just to look after my mum. We really don't deserve dogs 💕
We rescued our German Shepard from a family that kept him in a kennel 24/7 except to take him outside on a leash. They had another dog that roamed free and he'd bite at the Shepard feet. When we brought him home,he was a mess, scared of all the room he had, and you couldn't go near his paws without him freaking out.
We've had him for close to a decade now and he's seriously the best dog that's ever lived. All our cats love him, he's so gentle with our kids, an excellent guard dog, and just smart as hell. He also uses his paws to get attention now, he's not sensitive about them being touched. He's a little clingy, probably because of his puppy-hood, but that suits us just fine. I don't think id ever buy from a breeder, especially when the ones that really need us make the best dogs anyway.
I am sorry you lost both of them, but I am glad they had each other ❤
The bone disorders for collies is VERY true. My collie (rest in peace) had one of the most violent cases of arthritis I've ever seen, she was such a trooper though she never let that get to her! Miss her every day ❤
Sadly where you get your collie matters hugely. I've worked with and had several collies over a 15 year period, and none had joint issues even into old age. They all came from loving breeders that did genetic testing and bred for health. Many of the issues Tugg mentioned for collies only happens in poorly bred dogs or from people who didn't care to do the proper research. which is why I never like videos like this. just lumps everyone into the same boat.
@@nanashiwolfIt might be slightly more nuanced but eugenics gets a bad rap for a reason
For every dog rejected from the kennel club and neutered for having a hip with a 2-year warranty there's hundreds of perfectly healthy dogs whose tail didn't curl right that we're also neutered for that 1% That perfectly matches the breed standard and only carries the genetic disorder without displaying symptoms.
Hell there's literally a genetic condition inherent to border Collies because there's not a suitable healthy population to maintain the breed standard without spreading the gene.
Like 70% of them have this gene that That makes them over sensitive to all heartworm medications and many others.
@@nanashiwolf i don't think he intended to lump good and bad breeders together, since to me, this video was more about bringing awareness to the health issues dogs face because of how they're bred. it's great that you got healthy dogs from good breeders, unfortunately, it's not the same everywhere or for everyone. despite the many breeders who prioritize health and the dogs' wellbeing, we still have many who don't, and even more buyers who can't be bothered (either due to unawareness or ignorance) to do their own research.
aw poor girl. I fear from my mom's collies. they already got the collie eye problem
@bagelisdead We are lucky to have health tests available. Dogs get heath tested before breeding.
This video has taught me that the Beverly Hills Chihuahua movies were probably some of the most accurate movies about dogs ever.
Also surprised he didn't mention the Exotic Bully here, which is the biggest genetic dumpsterfire under the sun and should be high up on the high-costs-list.
Doodles belong there too. Overprized mutts that are unpredictable, very high maintenance, backyard breeders and puppymills sell them for outrageous prices and will cost an arm and leg in the long run (especially when it comes to training and grooming costs).
Bullies are AN ABOMINATION
- APBT owner 😂❤
Exotic bullies are even worse mutts than doodles, especially when they are merle 😭
god, i hate doodles. every dog that has bitten me when i worked at a kennel were labradoodles. labs are big babies, poodles are usually sweet, but put them together and you make a monster.
He did mention doodles, he talked about cockapoos. But he seems to be under the wrong impression that it's an actual breed and not a mutt.
I never knew they were called exotic bullies. They are beautiful dogs, but some of them kind of remind me of the dog creatures from the original Ghostbusters .
Adopted a street puppy.. best decision of my life! Now I feed 10 of them from my colony too because strays give you so so much love, I have found a reason to live through them ❤
The random mutts I've had that were born in trash have had barely any health issues before they got old. On the other hand my purebred black lab is literally allergic to tap water and breaks out in hives constantly (especially with chicken and dog food without chicken is hella expensive) he's always itchy and gets scabs from scratching himself. It's not directly breed related but I just feel like there's a suspicious connection
The big question is: was the breeder registered in any way, or was it a backyard breeding operation with no health testing just for the money?
@@R3DR0PE it was a friend of a coworker who decided to breed their dogs once before getting them fixed because they were akc. The puppies got all their shots and dew claws and removed and check ups so I don't think it was the breeders fault
Have you had your tap water analyzed? That's really concerning
purebred isn’t well bred. that sounds like a concern with the breeder themselves, not purebreds as a whole
I don't if my comment can help you, but my parent's lab has the same problem with itching. Food based on salmon helped, but it is expensive. Special shampoos against itching worked pretty as well
Not me getting a puppy insurance ad as soon as i start the video-
Lmao
I spent a whole semester in college doing research and writing multiple papers about this exact topic and you summed it all up in an 11 minute video. Still, I’m happy the word is getting out there
good job!!!
You made pure bred dogs sound like they'd fall apart like an R rated lego man within a week
Not necessarily just pure breeds, he was talking about inbreeding with pure breeds. Inbreeding causes health issues, not being a pure breeds.
@@yourstrulli9089 Even if they weren't directly inbred there's so much inbreeding in their family trunk they're basically fucked regardless.
@@yourstrulli9089 Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, “Pure bred” is just another, nicer was of saying “inbred.”
that is quite often the case, inbreeding is one factor, the other is awful, unhealthy breeding aims and bad parent selection, over-exaggerating features, like ultra short or long snouts, heavy ears with too much fur, and not selecting well mannered based healthy dogs but well, multiplying what sell well
and what people do not realise, a lot of the "exotic" rare colors like silver/blue, tan, that pale brown or Merle often come with a mix of genetics disorders attached or rather hidden
Dalamtios often are/turn deaf because there is a link bewteen ear function and color pattern etc
all the sh*t is driven by folks who want to own a "cool dog", no matter what and buy poorly bred animals
My family had this wonderful dog, and he was a show yorkie's litter reject. His mom's owners were my dad's acquaintances, they were breeding yorkies competitively and my dog was in the first litter. He and a few other pups didn't fit the breed standards, so the breeders gave them out for free, very grateful, in retrospect, that they didn't euthanise him and the other unwanted puppies, or did something else rather cruel. But our wonderful buddy and at least one other "reject" lived 'till almost 16, our dog was an active, bright, sassy, fantastic friend. And at the same time, the people who gave him to us, told us that all the other show puppies were gone before they reached 10, and they were very surprised ours lived that long

When I was a kid, we had a boxer. At about 18 months old, my parents started noticing that she seemed to be in pain and took her to the vet. The vet would just pet her from her head down her back, as you would with a pet, and she screamed in pain. The vet looked at my parents in a "are you horribly abusing this dog" kinda way. After an x-ray (I think?)they discovered that she was chock full of cancer in her entire bone marrow.
That is so sad. 😢
My family has had a few dogs over the years. All of them have been mixes of some kind, but our tiny stray mutt from Tennessee is the most paradoxical. She had a had a number of injuries and issues that required vet visits, meaning that she has probably cost us more than the others, but she is also at least 16 years old, but still looks acts and is as healthy as she was when we got her.
everything this guy says is the the thing we all think about but never say-
you should say it, stay obnoxious
This comment is on all his videos 😒
I say it all the time. All my dogs have been shelter rescues, because I want zero part in that gross funhouse breeding that takes place. And since I like dogs 100+ lbs the most, which are much less likely to be adopted where I am, it works out even better. I get a new dog, they get socialized and trained in ways their former people couldn't handle, and I get an intimidating guard dog who really loves play time. It's a win win.
My current dog is a Pyrenees Mountain Dog/boxer mix. I was warned about her "terrible attitude" and special hatred of bearded men (like me) more than a half dozen times before I even made it into the meeting room. The damned dog was standing on my lap licking the top of my head like she was searching for its candy center before I even knew she was in the room. She has rarely left my side since, has turned from a dog that half the rescue was terrified of into a love bug that enjoys everyone, and I still have the safest home on my street. All from a random, spur of the moment trip to the same shelter I've used for years.
1) a cockapoo is NOT a purebred dog.
2) rage syndrome is associated with spaniels, I believe Springer Spaniels. So the fact that it is a spaniel mix may have something to do with that.
3) rage syndrome is different than sleep startle reflex, which it sounds like you are describing.
Vet student here, I just attended a presentation on the evolution of dogs 2 weeks ago and pretty much everything you said here was said there. We are destroying man's best friend.
I have a mutt, and he is in fact the sweetest, happiest guy known to man. He’s super food-motivated, loves to hang out with us and play and never seems to get tired. We’ve had him about four years now. Best decision we ever made.
You posted this on my three year anniversary of adopting my own little mutt! Hes so sweet, loves cuddling, and loves being carried around like a human child (hes 9 lbs, part chihuahua but has nothing of the temperament).
The worst hes ever done is sit and judge me from afar lol. Everyone who meets him falls in love. Like seriously i can't take him anywhere without getting a comment like "hes so well behaved!" mostly cuz hes adorable and just vibes instead of barking or something
sounds exactly like a chihuahua to me
Ok so my mom is a dog groomer and she recently got certified to give dogs massage therapy in order to calm them down for grooming and relieve tension. Especially for older dogs who could literally kill themselves because they get too stressed during grooming. And if they have hip displasia or anything like that, providing some joint relief and stuff like that. Now, in hindsight it’s a little ridiculous, but wayyyyy more understandable than a dog water park lol
What's ridiculous about it? Calming them makes sense to me
That's amazing! Not ridiculous at all because it helps with multiple health problems. It's been a staple in the equine world with race horses as part of their upkeep.
I'm a dog groomer who has been thinking about getting canine and equine massage therapy certified. Where did your mom get her training/certification? I've looked into the college route which would mean me going to school out of state, which is impossible right now. I also have been looking into the Equissage school which is in my state and has two accessible programs, a week long course and a weekend course where they send you a huge study packet prior to the weekend training/testing. I just don't know anyone who has been through either. I just need some insight. Thanks!!
The picture that you showed for “old collies” is actually a border collie. Two very different breeds. Collies are also a pretty healthy and stable dog breed when bred ethically, so I don’t see how humans “ruined” them?
by breeding them between brothers and cousins
Thank you for uploading tugg ❤
You don’t know how much this means to me 😊
As a veterinarian, I can tell ypu that french bulldogs and pugs have the worst nowadays. Thank you so much for the last message, if it reaches just one person you will have helped 2 lifes ❤
Animals are best seen in their natural habitat. Unfortunately we have destroyed every single forest.
Bulldogs literally can't even give birth anymore.
I believe french bulldogs just became the most popular dog (2022) in Uk and sickly ones are suddenly everywhere in NZ. I talked to a vet who was sick to be forced to do cesarians for backyard breeders. He wanted to close his practise to those breeds. But what to do when the breeders keep impregnating? Animal welfare legislation is needed. There is so much money in it. I have seen french bulldog puppies for sale for $11,000 NZD
Unconditionally love us? I like when ppl say this and totally forgot that their evolutional strategy is to get free food, safety and companion in exchange of some tasks they do for us. But with time they don't even need to do that we basically feed them, provide them a home, safety and they just cute. So they have a lot of conditions to love us
I feel lucky, because my mom bought a standard poodle from a trailer park, and he’s the most robust dog honestly. He’s the prissiest poodle stereotype ever, but he doesn’t have the slumped back and and metabolic issues that are so common.
Probably a doodle. Very good dogs 🐩
Appreciate this! One of the many reasons I've had border collies is because they were bred for herding rather than some idiotic AKC standards. I was dismayed when they were allowed into the AKC. My sweet boy lived to be 17 with no health issues until the very end. Any dog that has extreme features (too big, too small, flat noses, weird coats, etc) is very likely going to have health problems because of intensive breeding for specific features while disregarding general health, intelligence, and emotional stability. This is genetics 101..
I think this is how it should be done. Dogs for a purpose with a purpose. Needs careful planning, and knowledge about gemetic and with today's technology we can gene test for the most common genetic issues, which can then be avoided with proper planning.
Yeah, shar pei are an ancient dog breed yet have gotten so screwed up in the past 60 years! The version of shar pei that was accepted into the AKC in the early 90s (despite proof of their breed existing in 200 BCE) is the bad version of them. I've seen one person claim that it was the dog fighters that bred dramatic wrinkles into the breed, but literally everywhere else says that the wrinkles were bred into them by unscrupulous breeders wanting to sell to Americans after the TIME magazine article released (early 70s). Either way, the wrinkles are a bacteria trap and I'm pretty sure are the reason shar pei will have eye problems. It's not uncommon for puppies to need surgery on their eyelids just to be able to open them! That meaty muzzle is possibly connected to a condition called *shar pei fever*! However, in Hong Kong, there are still some breeders dedicated to what's called the "bonemouth" shar pei and they look so much better! They're sleek, beautiful, and regal looking! If someone told you that was their guard dog, you'd 100% believe them! (Thankfully, my shar pei mix looks more like this version than the version draped in wrinkles.)
Thanks for this video. Regarding Samoyeds, according to what I had read before getting mine, Samoyeds are not particular prone to genetic deseases. This breed is supposed to be genetically quite close to the first ever dogs.
Not saying you're wrong, but then where is he getting his info from? Seems to be two opposite sides of the spectrum here.
i need the chiropractor rant to be its own video because ever since ive went to a chiropractor my back just hurts randomly
for no reason
Same! I went to a chiropractor once and I now have the ability to pop my shoulder at will.
I love how you can see tucker's dissapointment in the thumbnail as he tries not to laugh at the situation he was in . Truly a big tugg classic
I grew up with a cockapoo, everything you listed is 100% accurate. He managed to live to 15, but yeah towards that point he was experiencing a lot of those issues you listed. I'll never forget him.
I need everyone to know that there’s a place in my town called “Laundromut” which is basically a laundromat but for your dogs, and it’s as adorable and ridiculous as it sounds. You can either drop off your dog and they’ll wash them for you, or you can wash them yourself in their big dog showers which is by far the more fun option
This was a needed video, don’t spend too much money on dogs *me watching this with my 5 dogs*
I work at a shelter and I don't necessarily agree with the "adopt don't shop" mentality. If you want a dog for a specific task, dog sport, or work, I think picking out a breed that is naturally inclined to do the chosen thing and starting young would be the best move. It can also be hard to find dogs that are dog, cat, and kid friendly. I understand it's very different on other places but I live in New England where we have to transport dogs in from other states because we don't have enough of them!
buddy there are rescues for specific breeds, ADOPT DONT SHOP
@@toriosbourne5837that’s true. For example, if you’re ever looking for a good bird hunting dog, I’d recommend looking for a rescue from a German shorthair rescue operation, like Southeast German Shorthair Rescue if you live in the south-east United States. My family fosters dogs through that organisation, and there’s a lot of dogs in need of homes just in that one specific niche of a dog breed. It’s very easy nowadays to find a dog that suits your needs through a shelter or a specific rescue organisation.
omg yeah definitely. If you do the proper research on the breed AND the breeder, getting a pure breed isn't the worst. You might have pet allergies, and want a dog that won't shed as much/is allergy friendly. And yes genetics play a role: get a collie if you want a herding buddy. And as someone who works with "problem dogs" at my local NE shelter you are so right. It pays to visit, check to see if your shelter has the right fit, but sometimes you can't drive/ship/fly that perfect shelter dog to you. It's all about where you live, and what you're willing to pay. ALL dogs deserve a good fit (I would die for the ones at my shelter). Just be responsible and always check a shelter FIRST.
Sadly we’ve always gotten mutts and have had bad luck with their health. First pupper passed away due to cancer when he was only 6, and my other doggo had a slipped disc in her spine that paralyzed here from the neck down; she was 7.
Luckily my current shitty but cute house guard is 7 and seems to be in perfect health. I pray he lives a long healthy life.
@@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 If you go to a responsible breeder who health tests then the chances of a pure bred dog having all the severe health issues mentioned in this video goes down dramatically and no mutts are not healthier then well bred purebred dogs who have genetic testing.. that's just not how it works
@@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 I personally hate the idea of purebreds… not just because the moral practice of it, and unethical ways it’s conducted, but food doesn’t taste good when it’s all the same flavor, art isn’t pretty when it’s all the same shade of one color. Along with that, every breed has pros and cons… only by mixing them can you end up with dogs like “scout” who’s a great field dog, and dogs like “barkus” who are great snuggle bears who weight 80LB but insist they’re lap dogs. lol
i'm going to assume you have no idea why we have purebred dogs nor have you done any research into the topic,
purebred dogs exist because dogs were bred to work for us, to do jobs and aid humans in things such as hunting, protection, herding, fetching, flushing, scenting, digging, ratting, ect ect these dogs were picked for their temperment, their body and physical apperance and also what coat/groom would work best to keep them safest while doing their work. This helped the dogs stay out of injuries and also function properly doing their job.
These breeds have existed for over 100 years, and newer ones around 40-50 excluding designer mixes. And have a lot of very rich history that should be preserved because it is our history as people and as a society and specific traits that can only be carried on through members of their own breed this is because these genetic traits can only become ingrained through generations and generations of selective breeding to get a dog perfect for a specific job, these traits cannot be replicated in mystery mixes.
people, a lot of people still rely on dogs for jobs and even if they didn't there is nothing wrong with wanting a stable dog.
I know for the avarage pet owner it seems like 'well i don't work my dog why are breeds important' but there's a lot more too it than that. When you are buying a purebred you are getting not only a very good dog, but the structure and the temperment for that breed. It is stability, and stable dogs keep the general public safe. The issue is a lot of the education surrounding this topic became out of fashion, people want cute dogs but don't want to actually be involved like they used too. So we get what once was a very good breed completely scrambled because it got popular with people unwilling to actually learn about the dog they're getting. And because dogs with poor temperments flood the market, you get the rise of demand for mixes because they are seen as better and this goes hand in hand with the misinformation that all purebreds are unhealthy and will die early.
Adopt don't shop was meant to try and combat this issue before it became what we have now, it used to mean 'don't buy from a petstore/puppy mill' but it didn't stick and we are now reaping the consequences and telling everyone who wants stable dogs to go f* themselves because everyone should rescue which doesn't actually fix the issue or make a dent into what needs to be done for dogs.
mutts are good and so are purebreds.
but in the end.
all dogs deserve to be wellbred.
@@congruentcrib
@@congruentcrib I have a purebred shiba because I know what to expect from that particular breed. I don't want to gamble with a mixed breed rescue and then have to deal with the aftermath of it attacking my neighbor's kids unprovoked. You are horribly misinformed over Purebreds.
i have a dog that had heart worms and cost 20$ at a shelter and she’s literally the sweetest thing ever. she’s attached to my mom and they have an amazing bond and she was the only dog at the shelter that didnt try and jump on me. i love her so much and i don’t think i would been as happy with a purebreed dog from a breeder that costed 2000$. shes the goodest girl
Actually our dog was having lower spinal issues for months. She was in so much pain she would yelp all the time, and she couldn’t bend down properly to poop which led to way worse issues. The vet had us take her to a reputable dog chiropractor, and after helping to alleviate the pinched nerve after like 2 or 3 appointments, she’s like a whole new german shepherd. She runs around and plays again!
Exactly. It's not pseudoscience. You literally get a medical degree for it. Our bones naturally move around and sometimes they get stuck and you just need a little extra help. I'm going into veterinarian chiropractics and my papa is a chiropractor and has been for damn near 40 years. Im so happy your dog got help so she could be herself again
I know, dogs have bones just like us and yeah, bones move around lol. When he said Chiro was a pseudo science I'm like, "well then pseudo science helped my back like hell then..."
This makes me think that Jack Russels are some of the best dogs. I have one who is 15 years old, and hasn’t aged a day in her life. She is my life and joy, and is 100% healthy for her old age. I wish everyone would be happy with a dog like her. If you’re looking for a good dog with a long lifespan, get a JRT!
Yeah I grew up with a Jack Russell and they're awesome. I think they're a fairly recent breed right? Up until not too long ago they were primarily bred as vermin hunters so that's probably why they're so healthy. It seems that when people start breeding for looks as opposed to health and temperament a lot of issues happen
This might be moot since I don't care for dogs, but in my experience Jack Russel's are way too hyper, wiggly, barky (and a high pitched annoying one at that), constantly getting into things, digging like crazy (I know what they were bred to do so I get it but, that's again, a reason I don't care for them), they just don't seem like a fun dog to own.
I'm glad you guys have had great JR's, there's always a good dog in every dog but---I don't know how you put up with the rest, it would drive me absolutely MAD.
I literally adopted a shelter dog by accident (kinda lol). I had been living with my now-fiancé for a year after moving from home, and was very used to having dogs growing up (we always had at least one). So I was starting to miss having a furry friend around, and I knew my fiancé loved dogs, too, but was scared of the commitment (which, to be fair, our shit was not fully in order at the time so valid). But I really just. Wanted some dog time, so we agreed to go to the local SPCA and see the dogs. We saw many cute dogs and I wish I could’ve taken them all home, of course
Oh don't you worry, I believe you. I have my very own Border Collie mix I got from a shelter and she's just a lazy bundle of pure jealousy. The only times she moves is when she thinks we are petting something else and that has occurred with me literally just reaching for my school bag. Which she somehow mistook as me petting the bag, which made her jealous... AT A LITERAL BAG!!
@@xavier8169 How could you pet anything besides her?? xDDD Betrayal of the highest caliber, truly (bags count, ofc. Even if they're inanimate lol) That is really cute and funny though xD thank you for sharing!
Purposely bred dogs are needed. Ethical breeders are needed. Dog show (Conformation) is to evaluate each breed to their standards. Remember also, purebred doesn’t mean wellbred.
I have an Afghan hound and they’re actually one of the breed that hasn’t been really changed from their original looks. The long coat and the way they’re built is based on their environment and what they were bred for. Please do your research more before judging breeds or purebred dogs in general. 90% of dog owners who have purebred don’t source them from ethical breeders, that’s why there’s so much health issues. Ethical breeders only breed to better the breed’s health and temperament
My sister-in-law loves her french bulldogs. Didn't appreciate me going, " WHO'S A CUTE LITTLE ABOMINATION?! YOU ARE!" upon meeting them.
I always hate when people choose to get pures for their first dog, since it never seems to end well for that pup. Adopting an older dog is always a way better idea for people's first dog, they're way less likely to have issues and my own personal mutt is amazingly behaved!
When I was a kid I had a golden retriever that was adopted from a golden retriever rescue. She was 1 when my family adopted her. Yet by the time a was a junior or senior in highschool she had to be put down due to illness.
my dog from an ethical breeder was an amazing first dog. i will be purchasing from ethical breeders from now on
ethical breeders are definitely the way to go if you want a pure! @@xAspenn
He's so real for this, humans have gone too far
Watching Tugg makes me feel like Im getting a Big Hugg
Well, that’s adorable.
I have both a mutt and a pure breed malamute. Both are fantastic dogs so if you are looking to get a pure bred dog make sure it's coming from a ethical breeder that is doing full health testing, temperament testing, OFAs or penhip, and will take the dog back at any point in their lives to keep them out of shelters
I knew about pugs, but I had not heard of labs having that many health issues. Poor things.
About the Chiropractors, i dunno. I messed up my back once, and it took months to get back to normal, the next time I pulled something, the doc had me feeling better in a week. This was the type of pain where my legs were giving out, I almost had to call someone to drive me home.
Not saying it works for everyone, but it worked for me. I've had some friends that went and it didn't work for them. Some things can't be fixed.
Wellbred labs do not have these issues. When something becomes so popular, the quality decreases. This literally applies to everything, clothes, franchises, food, etc.
The rage syndrome is inherited from cocker spaniels. I had a cocker spaniel that had it, he would randomly snap at any of us and for a few minutes he was like possessed, then back to normal like nothing happened. Oh, and he also had cancer in his later years. Now I'm enjoying my 2 rescue "mutts" that are so lovely and look healthier than any "pure-bred" I got to know. They still get me mad from time to time when they steal the food from cats, while their bowls are full 🙄😄
This feels like such an obvious CLASSIC Tugg topic that I'm surprised there hasn't been a video on one before.
Proper Mandela effect territory I swear I've seen this before 😂
"The more expensive a puppy is the closesr it is to death"😭💔

Many of these health problems occur due to improper/no health testings and mass breading for profit by puppy mills and irresponsible breeders. Please for the love of God get your dog from a responsible breeder. It will cost more (sometimes less because puppy mills artificially jack up the prices of popular dog breeds) but youre paying for a healthy dog thats not going to have mental/physical problems in the future as well as a connection to a breeder that can provide help with your dog
yes thank you i hate when people say mutts are better
I’m so glad someone said this. Purebred =/= well bred, and it’s a mistake to confuse the two
YES! I have a working english springer spaniel (4 months) and the breeders had all the genetic information posted and a link to a database with the dogs information. AND I found out later that the springer club they bred under is VERY carful with puppies, even requiring breeders to make breeding request for dog pairs to make sure that they genetically (on paper at least) should produce healthy puppies. We paid 1500 euros for him, but so worth it since the breeders have even given us some help with training. NOT all breeders are like this but I wish they were, because Mixed or pure bred we should be doing what we can to make healthy puppies.
Ima be honest Tugg, I’m at 10:15 of the video and realized I forgot to actually pay attention to it. Im high as shit, my apologies big man
Love that this is coming out so close to Christmas when many of these breeds will likely be purchased and in Houston where I live likely added to nextdoor to rehome by April.
That's because the breeders didn't offer to take the dog back in the contract.
Tbh I've always found it so weird whenever my friends or teachers had a perfect, fluffy dog while I was happy with my 14 mutts, half of them being fosters. Quantity over quality guys 👏👏👏
(no but seriously why get only one dog with a million health problems when you could get ten that are probably cheaper as a whole to take care of anyway)
I wouldn't even call it a quantity over quality tbh. Mutts are healthier and can also be cute; with less of the diseases that pure breed dogs get.
Literally better quality of life. So it's both quality and quantity.
@@justalex8502 yeah that's pretty fair
I'll take the one mutt and be super cheap thank you very much lol
@@justalex8502 False! well bred dogs by responsible breeders are incredibly healthier than the average mutt you get at the shelter :)

When I was a teenager I was told I looked like a pug, I was so fucking offended. I still get pissed whenever I think about it over a decade later.
My step mom has been trying to breed her French bull dog for the past year now and it honestly disgusts me. It's gotten to the point where she will show me the cutest dog ever and I'll be like "oh that's cute" and her response is "pff!! That dog is so ugly? Do you not see it's color and it's this and that and blah blah blah?" And she'll show me the most ugly, smashed face, bug eyed dog I've ever seen and say "oh they're supposed to look like that" and I guess for frenchies, to breed them they can't have sex. The cannot preform the physical act of having sex to reproduce. They have to inject the ball juice into the female dog and half of the time, the females can't give birth and need C-Sections. The entire dog breed is an abomination to the species
When I heard the part about the water park I could just imagine my beagle mix there. My dog is literally scared of rain, I couldn’t imagine him being in a full on water park 😂
My aunt used to have a cockapoo and his name is Remy and he would always act so sweet around me but when my aunt would get near him he would lash out. When she eventually had a kid she had to get rid of him because she was afraid that he would attack the baby.
Goldendoodles are SO MUCH like horses. Mine even RUNS like one.
My family owns 2 German shorthair pointers, both from different breeders. We also foster rescue GSP’s. If you ever buy from a breeder (however I don’t recommend because there’s plenty of dogs in shelters that you could adopt. We were fairly ignorant when we got our dogs about all the shit that comes with pure bred dogs.), make sure you know the medical records of the parents and preferably grandparents of the litter you’re wanting to get a puppy from. Also if you’re able to meet the parents of the puppies in person to get a feel for how big the dog is gonna get, their build, temperament and everything. If those dogs have been treated well, if they don’t have any issues on their records, if you think the breeder is a genuinely good person, that is the only time you buy from a breeder. There are way too many unethical backyard breeders out there who treat their dogs like shit. We’ve fostered enough rescue German shorthairs and I’ve seen some of the mother pups they throw out when they’re no longer useful for breeding, it’s so disheartening to see the state they’ll come to us in. We had a 3-4 year old foster a few months ago that had at some point probably been pregnant 2-3 times, and had just had a litter before she was abandoned.
TLDR: get a dog from a shelter. If you really want a dog from a breeder, do all of your due diligence on the breed and the breeder beforehand.
Really nice comment, thank you.
I got my dog from a breeder 4 months ago and did just the things you advise. The little girl has good health, good temper, and the last but not least I like the breeder as a human, also she still asks me about how the puppy she sold me is doing, after few months, and says to contact her without hesitation if I need advise. She even helped me to get big packs of dog food with a discount couple of times.
I guess we all agree that we need an uncut version or even an entire video about why you hate quiropractors
My family had this rescue dog who was a Rottweiler/black Labrador mix and she was one of the nicest dogs; actually beings, I've ever known. She was found wandering along a highway and had ran away from her previous owners, they didn't want her back so she was sent to the pound. My dad then adopted her and brought her home. Everybody loved her so much, despite her unusual habit of constantly eating shit, like actual fecal matter, and she did it till the day she died. She'd always watch over me and my siblings when we were little and my dad when he worked on the house.
She lived for 16 years, 14 with us, and we miss her every day. So, like Big Tugg said, always adopt shelter dogs; they have so much love to give.
Also, the chiropractors part is kainda true but holy Jesus when you have an actual back injury that does not let you sit without having pain, they are life savers.
The sad part is that even in shelters are filled with pits/pit mixes. The dog breed bred for bloodsports and known for mauling people (Fifth Estate - Pitbulls Unleashed), most are also backyard bred by criminals. 🤦♀️ (I saw two guys crossing the road near my house with two female pits who look liked they barely birthed a litter) 😔
There was a crackhouse near my cousins, they had three just roaming around the street! 🙀 Thankfully, our city trapped one and raided them.
In addition to the golden retriever problems caused by poor breeding, is Golden Retriever Uveitis. Essentially it causes vision loss and severe eye pain and often leads to Glaucoma. Our family Golden Retriever named Ada was diagnosed with this when she was about 8 or 9 years old back in 2016 and ended up having her eyes removed in 2017 as they no longer functioned and were only causing her pain. She was so much happier to not be in pain and with some special tools such as an intella structure made from zip ties attached to her collar to allow her to detect objects before she hit them and a tennis ball with a bell inside of it to play fetch and a new command "steps" to tell her that she was approaching a set of stairs she was able to still fully enjoy a mostly normal life for a dog even without her eyes. I swear she still knew when people were looking at her because anytime someone looked at her she would look right back at them. She also had no trouble finding the geese, ducks, or seagulls in the water... except when she touched the water realized it was water and hightailed it out of there. She ironically never liked to swim or be in any sort of water even when she could see. She was an amazing dog, she passed away in 2021 from cancer. She was loved by everyone that met her.
if you just really, really want a specific breed like pug or cockapoo, there are breed-specific rescues. puppies even, but benefits of getting a dog that is out of the puppy stage: usually housebroken, know basic commands, and their personalities have become more stable and recognizable so you can have a better idea of which pup fits your home best.
Yeah, I hate the advice to new dog owners that's just "get a puppy! You can train them to be whatever dog you want". It's super dismissive of how hard it can be to appropriately raise a puppy! And some puppies get removed from their mothers way too soon.
Dogs end up at shelters or rescues for a variety of reasons from "rescued from bad people" to "we're moving to somewhere this dog can't come" to "I just don't want a dog anymore" to "a ton of bad things happened to me and I can no longer take care of my dog".
I ended up adopting a 5 year old shar pei/husky cross (didn't know about the husky mix at the time as only 2 people have ever guessed that she was a husky mix) and she has been such a wonderful dog! She's well socialized with strangers, other dogs, and children. She knows some basic tricks and is housebroken. She's relaxed in the apartment and also a tireless hiking companion (we hiked over 10 miles in one day and she was still raring to go). She's also very quiet! She's got some foibles like pulling and just absolutely should not be left alone with other animals, but I find those to be acceptable for my life. I'm thinking of trying some light sledding with her this upcoming winter to satisfy her need to pull.
@@elfdragon1227 exactly, the vast majority are not given up for behavioral or even health problems :(
@@elfdragon1227 sounds like you made the right choices, too ☺️❤️
So they don't have any of the bad stuff that will make me feel like I am going to hell for owning one?
@@Noone-d6u if you choose to have such a breed there is no way around that, it IS the breed. but they still need homes and love and have those special needs on top, which a new home can provide without paying irresponsible breeders.
Glad to see one of your videos after a super tiring day ! (It was a good day just had some really really annoying times)
I have only one dog from a breeder. A $700 dollar catahoula who is more healthy than our newest catahoula mix and our senior aussie mix. Our catahoula mix is missing an eye and deaf, but she is currently healthy otherwise. My step mom just got a yorkiepoo named Chip. We have an aggressive staffy mix. Holy shit, was I terrified for this poor baby. He got attacked by Dory today and is somehow not dead or bleeding. I hate that they thought they could get another dog.
My mom had a mini poodle when I was a teenager that definitely had rage syndrome. He growled a lot when he wasn't angry, and one time when he was just waking up on my mom's lap he bit her so hard that he broke a couple of bones in her hand. He was a good boy though.
I was worried when you mentioned chiropracters but I'm glad you brought the appropriate degree of rage to the topic.
I have adopted two dogs. My 1st dog was a ShiTzu Yorkie mix. Even being a mix, he had a lot of health issues.
Our first rescue, Lucy, was a pitt bull mix. She was very reactive and had a lot of issues, including violent outbursts. We spent thousands on training for her.
She was very traumatized by her early life experiences.
2nd rescue is a German Shepard mix mutt, and she is the sweetest dog I have ever had.
My recommendation to anyone wanting to adopt, is to go through a pet rescue who uses fosters and has a good reputation. It was great to have some background on our rescue and more information about the kind of dog we were adopting.
Labradoodles are supposed to be very difficult to train, from what I hear.

Another reason I look forward to the weekend
Glad you are feeling better. Agree with what you said. We need more mutts.
also glad to be a tugglet lol
you forgot to bring up the king charles cavalier spaniel, who are often borne with BRAINS TOO BIG TO FIT IN THEIR SKULLS, resulting in agonizing dog migraines, seizures, paralysis, and death
Grew up in an akc home… you nailed it. Mixed breed dogs are severely underrated
I would watch you yell about chiropractors lmao
Awww thank you for this video tugg! You’re making me miss my fur baby. We adopted him and he gave us the best 10 years ever, he was so lovable and sweet.
My dog was a mutt, mixed between husky and golden retriever.
He was very beautiful, he had perfectly snow white hair as a puppy, until he started developing golden strands of hair where a husky's normal pattern would be.
Because of the golden retriever side, he caught cancer at ten years, a couple months ago.
I felt I'd have more time with him because he was a mix breed, but those cancer causing genes still passed on from the golden retriever side, and he caught an aggressive form of cancer that just hit us by surprise.
Mix breeds often live longer, but do be mindful that some things can still be unpredictable, so love them as much as you can while you have em, which should just be a rule with all dogs.
Goberian? 😅 hope your cutie makes it through. Our dog had cancer at 12years old and we started to play her healing subliminals on YT and she lived another 3 years with the cancer dissolving but then came back at 15years and she passed. X
@@lilithfrances1011 Goberian (Golden Retriever Husky Mix,) I did use past tense for a reason.
Miss him a lot but your kind words are appreciated
so sorry for your loss!! I skimmed through the message. aww bless you.. much love @@coldsobanoodle7407
I kinda wish a bit more research had been put into the first part of this video about purebred dogs. For example, a picture of a Sheltie was used for a Rough Collie, and the picture of what Collies "used to look like" was actually of a famous Border Collie, Old Hemp.
time for a therapy session with bigg tugg (as in we watch this video and then go seek therapy afterwards)
I understand your message, but you kinda skipped the part where you talk about the dangers of mixbreeding dogs, it's not all sunshine and roses either.
If you want to get a mutt, go for it.
If you want a purebred dog, buy it from an ethical breeder who proves and health test his dogs.
Don't get a "purebred" from backyard breeders, please, I beg you.
Don't get dogs from shops either, dog shops buy puppies from dog concentration camps.
This video is like therapy for my boyfriend's mistake of buying a purebred. The damn dog cost as much as a child in the end every month.
Thanks so much for this video! The rampant breeding is insane. And yes, people have gotten WAY too crazy with the animal love. Humanizing them to insane levels has made people just do THE most. And it's not good for the dogs.
Nothing like a tugg vid to lift our moods….😊
Oh wait
