Mixed Breed Pets
Mixed-breed dogs may not be allowed in dog competitions, but they are still suitable to be household pets. According to Josie F. Turner in her article for the AnimalWised, mixed-breed dogs are dogs with two or more dog breeds as descendants. They are born without human intervention or selection. “Litter of mixed-breed puppies can be found in virtually any country in the world,” Turner mentioned. Dogs that are not neutered are the common cause of it. On the other hand, crossbreeds are bred to attain particular qualities or appearances. For example, the Labradoodles are bred to have the Labrador’s temperament and the Poodle’s hypoallergenic coat.

“Mixed-breed dogs are, in general, much healthier and live longer than dogs with a definite breed,”

    Six months ago, almost to the day, my best friend and her new puppy were attacked. She was dog sitting her grandmother’s Mastiff, whom at the time had no previous violent history. She kept the Mastiff and her puppy in separate rooms in order to make sure there were no problems, but that wasn’t enough. One day, out of nowhere, the Mastiff broke down the door separating them and went on a full-fledged attack toward the puppy. My friend tried to make it out of the door of the house, but to no avail. The Mastiff bit her by the arm and dragged her to the ground forcing the puppy from her arms. He then proceeded to viciously rip apart her puppy right in front of her with her unable to do anything about the attack. Because this dog had no previous history of being violent, he was only quarantined for a short time period. But if this dog had been a Pit Bull, he would have been euthanized immediately whether there was a prior history or not. According to my audience analysis 87% of the class does not believe that there is such thing as a breed of dog that is born naturally violent and dangerous, but for the 13% of the class that does, when asked to name that breed, did not identify only a single breed. Working at a vet hospital, I see all different breeds of dogs and their temperaments. Although there are some nervous Pit Bulls that come in, there are also very sweet and gentle ones as well. On the other hand, I see many dogs of different breeds that are more on edge and prone to bite; Huskies, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, and Mastiffs. So what makes one breed any more dangerous than another? Today I am here to talk to you about the discriminating, Maryland law that states the dog breed, Pit Bulls, based on the court ruling reported in the Baltimore Sun by Ian Duncan, are deemed “inherently dangerous”…

    In about a quarter of fatal dog-bite cases, the dog owners were previously involved in illegal fighting. The dogs that bite people are, in many cases, socially isolated because their owners are socially isolated, and they are vicious because they have owners who want a vicious dog. The junk-yard German shepherd -- which looks as if it would rip your throat out -- and the German shepherd guide dog are the same breed. But they are not the same dog, because they have owners with different intentions. (qtd. in Argument in support of breed bans).…

    Mixed Race In Ruby

    Race is clearly a defining factor to residents of Ruby, but gender also plays an important role in the actualization of paradise. Mixed race interactions both within Ruby and outside of the town seem to bother the residents, however, women seem to truly fuel the Ruby men’s hatred. This loathing seems to stem from the pact the original Ruby founders make with God that relies on an “‘unadulterated and unadulteried’ bloodline,” which means what the men value most, the exceptionality of their town, relies on and “emanates from a worship of the purity of women” (Mayberry 88). This continued sentiment perpetuates the belief that men should take care of and respect only the women who embody the ‘right femininity’ in Ruby, but those who violate…

    Breed Specific Laws Essay

    • 978 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Due to media hype and over sensationalism of so called “dangerous dogs” breed specific laws have become an issue within today’s society. Breed specific laws are laws that restrict or completely ban the owning of a dog breed, some owners of the breeds must have their dog complete tests as to whether or not it is vicious and the owner must acquire permits to keep possession of their precious family pet. A typical person may think that a breed specific law does not acquire the town that they may live in but virtually all cities, counties, or states have a law pertaining to a certain breed of dog. These laws vary from ownership to having the dogs spayed or neutered, which is a wide range of laws but also a very complex range of laws. While some of these restrictions and laws may seem extreme some are very lax when it comes to enforcement.…

    Pet shops give many people the impression of happy, eager, and healthy puppies that are in desperate need of a home and family. Sometimes people feel bad for the animals stuck in the small cages and decide they’re going to save or rescue them. People who buy these animals don’t realize that they’re supporting the commercial dog-breeding industry. Commercial dog-breeding facilities treat animals as a product; they are concerned with quantity and the profit they’ll receive instead of quality and the animals’ health. These facilities need to be banned for three reasons: to prevent further health deterioration of the animals; to preserve the lowering of breeds’ genetic traits which result from unregulated breeding; and they give reputable breeders a bad name.…

    One dissimilar result we found was fact that 47 out of 77 respondents who took the survey said that Pit bulls are misunderstood by society. In addition, most respondents said that “dogs develop aggressive behavior through their upbringing and training”. At the same time though- most participants said that Pit bulls were the most aggressive dog out of the group of breeds, in addition to claiming that they are untrustworthy around small children. These responses are surprising because while the public admits that Pit bulls are misunderstood by society, they do not alter their perceptions to view them as being less aggressive or dangerous.…

    When I took oath as president, just four short years ago. Much has changed, though for some of you, I agree it hasn’t been enough. This election isn’t about whether I am the best president, which I do not claim so, this election is about who will perform better in office. That would be me, or my competitor, Governor Romney. I have spent the last four years, trying to get us out of this financial mess that has put unemployment rates as high as 10%, one of the highest rates since the Great Depression. This mess that seems to be the theme of this election is no one presidents fault. There is no point in lowering taxes on people who have no problem paying them. Priming the pump is a long-term plan that will indefinitely help strengthen America’s middle class. With another four years in office, I will get unemployment rates under 6%. I will also decrease the increasing rate of global climate change, something Governor Romney is neglecting. Finally, my position on health care is to make sure all Americans are insured and don’t go bankrupt in the process of paying medical bills.…

    The other implication from selective breeding is the growing genetic diversity in dogs. Genetic diversity is the number of genetic characteristics or variation in a species. The genetic diversity in dogs has grown over the years. It all began with one common ancestor being the grey wolf over 15,000 years ago, and now through selective breeding from humans there is over 400 dog breeds. Dogs today have a wide range of body types, colours and behaviours. Dogs have the greatest variation in size and shape of any terrestrial mammal. This massive variation in this species is a result of humans using selective breeding, with different groups of humans in regions around the world breeding a variety different traits from one common ancestor as seen…

    These countries are New Zealand, France, Brazil, Canada, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, Poland, and Puerto Rico. In the United States instead of saying we have bans on certain dogs we say we have Breed Specific Legislation, or BSL for short. Breed Specific Legislations are laws and regulations enacted at the city or country level, that ban or restrict the keeping of dogs by breed. (Greenwood). The dogs most affected by this law are Chow Chows, Dobermans, Rottweilers, and especially Pit Bulls. Fifteen States in the United States have no Breed specific Legislation. While the other thirty-five states have minimum or maximum Breed Specific…
