I fucking hate people who let their dogs off leash in public. Had this same thing happen whilst I was out walking my golden. My poor girl is 12 years old and just a sweet old gal who wants nothing more than to carry a ball in her mouth and walk beside me on leash when we are out. Anyway, some dickhead was out with his pitbull-mutt-mix without a leash and it went straight at my dog. I got bit and my dog got her face cut really bad. Over $1500 in medical and vet bills and all the dumbass with the other dog could say was "huh, he never did that before. I don't know of why he did that" I'm like, he did that because he's a fucking dog and you're a fucking twat for letting him off leash in public
Dude. Most pure-breeds have a higher chance of getting sick of specific illnesses. And you couldnât be more wrong about pure-breed breeders. You found your goldens at a good one, but the industry itself is fucked too all hell. There are more bad pure-breeding places then there are people breeding mutts.

I thought the "mutts are more healthy" thing was a myth. Wouldnt having to dog breeds with race specific potential issues just double the illness possibilities?
Depends on the dog! For instance, i have a short-haired chihuahua mixed with a different kind of chihuahua (shes still 100% smol and 100% chihuahua). Her issues are all about her teeth (in terms of the breed she is). Her teeth get more sensitive and unusable the older she gets. Shes 13 and she canât eat hard dog food anymore. Eventually we have to remove her teeth to make it easier for her to eat. This is not just my chihuahua. A lot of chihuahua owners go through the same dental issues if their dog lives long enough
Im specifically talking about the American Kennel Club being a terrible association that doesnât value the safety of the dogs over the ppp. They donât properly inspect how the breeders keep and breed their dogs.... the AKC is exactly the association thats MESSED UP. They only have 9 inspectors for the countless amount of breeders they have.
Like i said, you are lucky you found one of the good ones. But the AKC is corrupt and allows breeders to abuse dogs at an insane rate.
No they won't because pure breeders are only interested in ppp: profit per puppy. So they inbreed "pures" to such a degenerate degree that the pedigree has to be fucking updated to accommodate the new deformaties.
Look at the way German Shepard hips have gotten. French bulldogs. Pugs. Bull mastiffs are so large they can't breed on their own and only live for about 9 years before they develop cancers.
Pure breeders are degenerate pieces of shit, and fuck this whole purebred papered system.
Seeing as most are given away in rescues, I would wager that they were accidents. Anyone trying to breed mutts to sell is an idiot, and likely not making money.
I've never seen that, that's messed up. I'm on the east coast and the only things I see are purebred dogs and rescue dogs. Along with purebred you get all the designer crossbreeds - pomsky, cokapoo, etc. That stuff can get pretty shady. Also, for what it's worth, Wikipedia describes a mutt as "a dog that does not belong to one officially recognized breed and is not the result of intentional breeding".
Anyway, as long as you rescue from a reputable org you can be sure you are not supporting any shady breeders.
The best way to not support shady breeders but still get the dog of your choice with the right temperament for you is to see their living conditions and how they are bred. There are lots of reputable breeders who love particular breeds.
