DS: New breeds vs. Old breeds? Dog Breed Discussions
This link shows the 6 new breeds of 2012....officially recognized and registered with kennel clubs.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2091282/6-new-dog-breeds-ready-dog-eat-dog-world-annual-Westminster-Kennel-Club-show.htmlMy questions:Do you support new breeds? Why or why not?For the extinct breeds (or becoming extinct ) or rare breeds, would you support breeders and scientist that are trying to bring them back with strict breeding programs?http://www.dogbreeds.net/extinct-dogs.htmlhttp://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Extinct_dog_breedshttp://listverse.com/2007/11/20/top-10-rare-dog-breeds/For the older breeds, do you support the breeders and animal scientist that are trying or fix, expand, or shorten the genetic pool of many breeds?I can't find the article, but there was a breeder trying to fix a genetic issue with Pugs. And mandatory spay and neuter laws are taking some well bred dogs out of breeding programs ( which could help future breeding and genetic issues ). Which leaves people producing "genetically challenged" purebreds.......if someone can find the article, please post...it was from January 2012.When I say fix, I mean alter or curve genetic traits in breeds, like aggression, intelligence, and overall traits that are associated with specific breeds.Sisyphus....it makes sense to me. Rayven answered properly....the "new breeds" ....officially recognized.....means the list in the link are not necessarily new breeds but newly recognized.And WTH....I think curve is a better word though we are not in the English class but on YA.Again SISYPHUS....breeders aren't scientist and vice versus, but research the issue yourself before trying to be a smart as*. I could've sworn I said breeders and scientist....scientist ( able to study the gene code in dogs ) and breeders ( actually mating the specific dogs together AFTER the DNA testing and such.....
