it's stupidity

the back is NOT attractive

and it is actively harmful

Agreed. I don't know who decided the backs needed to be sloped

Well, there are unofficial breeds often that try to correct those, or preserve something they feel is lost

yeah

there was a whole scandal with dalmatians...

Didn't they go deaf? Or is this another scandal?

like, I forget the exact genetic issue - but a lady crossbred out, then back in - got the spots back and consistent, without the health issues, but the BKC refused to acknowledge them as dalmatians

Bulldogs can't even conceive naturally

Oh that's dumb (RE the Dalmatians)

BBL *Zzzzz*

and yeah, knew about the Bulldogs. Poor bastards.

If I were going for a flatter faced breed, I'd probably go Boston Terrier, not as bad face wise and smart as a whip

Cavalier King Charles have skulls that are too small - literally, a good portion of them suffer terribly because their brains are literally squished

And, again, Kennel Club knows this, but covers it up - allows afflicted dogs to win titles and to breed

Growing up, my next door neighbor had a Boston

SO MUCH personality!

Oh didn't know that*(Re the CKC) Darn. They ARE cute.

But it aint' worth THAT

ANd yeah, I knew a grizzled old boston one of my grandfathers had. Pepper had loads of personality

They are cute and sweet-tempered

it's super cruel. Not all of them have it, but... oy.

Got a friend who is insane about Corgis, Pembroke. I'm like "It has hardly any tail, how can you trust em?" 🙂

Mostly to rile him.

ha

Corgis are cute

even without a tail, you get butt wiggle

Yeah. I like the looks of the Cardigans better, but both have personality

SO cute

I actually did make a Pembroke Corgi Pooka grump who would go rattling on about his Time among her majesty's Beefeaters

I also like poms, but do not believe they are actually dogs.

ha!

Ditto on Poms... I'm like "Anything I can snort like a party drug shouldn't count"

But they are cute and fluffy and funny

Yup. I've met some Pom mixes I liked

Heck, I met a very sweet Pom Chihuahua mix and I don't like Chihuahauas 8 times out of ten. hateful little beasts

Chis are awful

shaky anger rats

Yup. I mean, if I were that small , scared and cold I'd be hateful too, but damn.

My brother had one... she was tolerable...

and a bit amusing- that dog worshiped him like a dark god

I think he brought out the aztec in her... she wanted to carve a heart out and offer it to him

he was perfectly nice to her, mind, but when displeased he woud give an exagerated scowl and point and she would go

ha

Aztec Priest Pooka.

Unseelie, of course
