I’m Not Gonna Lie. When I Just Learned The Truth About Dogs, It Made Me Sick.

Anything humans do can be taken too far. I do put the fault on dog shows, and the artificial standards they invent and purport to uphold.

I agree with Karen on this.

The destruction of the German Shepherds as a breed is sad, but my father told me years ago that they "Bred the brains out of them". There's a reason my uncle Fred got his shepherds from Germany instead of getting them from a "reputable" breeder in the states.

Ayup - even if his Trooper ended up with "ears so big his brains fell out" (as Uncle Fred used to joke), at least his hips were fine, and he was a gorgeous, healthy dog!

Or his last Shepherd, (Kaiser?) who was a big goofball.

Kaiser was his dog when I was little, Ki for short always was put in the basement when I was visiting, as he was not fond of little kids*. Then was Sergeant (Sarge), then was Trooper.


*Especially ones who insisted on hugging dogs as soon as one encountered them!

He had one after Trooper he was really proud of, that's the one I'm drawing a blank on the name.
