@Repzion you bitch play Mordhau with me
what makes us get umbilical hernias and not other animals
or do they and i jus dont know
like i wonder why we havent found a better way to optimally close that spot so ppl stop havin issues with it even late into life
and its not like ppl have wierd traditions keeping it a certain way like circumsision
dogs can have umbilical hernias as well, so i figure dogs and us aren't the only animals that can have that happen @MySatellite
is that naturally or after humans snip it the same human way
some dog breeds seem to inherit it, like i think pekingese are predisposed to it.
but trauma can cause it too.
so i'd figure humans snippin' it our way would be a form of trauma.
Why you guys are talking about dogs?
why not
pekingese is a toy hyper domesticated dog, prolly less about the nature and more about inbreeding for 300 years
fuck u
Oof
tbh that's probably true. a lot of purebreds have problems. like english bulldogs, dachshunds, bull terriers...
It really depends on the breed. Certain dogs were bred entirely differently than others. Some were definitely bred to show specific traits, which is the case that tends to cause the most issues. Because it leaves room for indiscriminate breeding if it gets you what you want. Other dogs were bred to say, have a job. Or do a specific task. So it's less about appearance, and more about intelligence and disposition. They tend to overall be healthier dogs. Say like Border Collies and other breeds bred to purely do a job. Border collies vary a LOT in how they can look. Hence why they have one of the most loose definitions in AKC. They also wouldnt recognize them until somewhat recently compared to many other breeds, in part because of that. But then you have dogs like pugs or certain kinds of chihuahuas, bred to have mishapen skulls in order to meet a standard. Their skulls are literally "squished". They have the same amount of bone in their heads as other dogs of the same size. It's pretty cruel. But there's a lot of push-back because of said cruelty. Anyway, sorry for being a bit long winded 😅
There is lot of misinformation about breeding, is all I mean to say. Selective breeding can just as easily be a good thing, as bad. It just depends on what the intent is behind it. So having purebred dogs isnt really "cruel". Unless someone bred them indiscriminately. Although shelter dogs are still the better option purely because we already have enough dogs to go around, and they need homes.
I also hate the narrative that shelter mutts are inherently more healthy. When that simply isnt true. A dog mixed with a bunch of unhealthy breeds could easily end up with quite a few negative defects from other breeds they are mixed with. A mutt =/= healthy. A healthy genetic line = healthy.
i learned a lot from this! thank you!
@Farunel thanks for all the info, very helpful! that's why i brought up bull terriers. their skulls can 'cave in' for lack of a better term (it's 3am for me so i apologise) and dachshunds can experience very problematic sway back. but that's so true about mutts, i never understood that logic that they're more 'healthy'.
also, i adore border collies
i'll play with you tonight @Sir Aggie
school has been keeping me busy
Yeah me a group of buddies from the 12e have been playing it like a religion.
Good afternoon everyone
hi
How art thou?
Border collies are fun as long as you have a job for them, they have soooooo much energy. Poodles are around the same intelligence too but a bit more mild. I was considering them as a truffle hunting dog maybe. But well see. Whatever it is it will be a shelter dog.
I'm good, sorry I have other servers to go to as well
@💙 Ashley Nowzaradan 💙 absolutely no problemo :D
