I'm personally cool with breeding working dogs such a huskies and such, as long as a sufficiently wide variation in appearance is allowed.

You get spotty coats and curled tails just from breeding canids to be sociable with humans. Also, inbreeding depression is hugely overstated as a risk to long-term species survivorship. Humans are, as a species, from a small stock and there's poo poo tons of us around.

Pick posted:You get spotty coats and curled tails just from breeding canids to be sociable with humans. this is actually a very good point. breeding animals based on their reaction to us changes the way they look pretty dramatically. now breeding animals based on the way they look can andwill surely have equally dramatic effects on their other attributes.

rabbits do not illicit the same sympathy in me as dogs because rabbits are either game or varmints, depending on the season

Dogs are not representative, as they have a high degree of plasticity not found in most other animals. That's why people default to dog breeds as their examples, even though we've been domesticating sheep and cats far long enough to see similar characteristics if it were possible. Also, to make them more sociable, dogs are intentionally bred for neotony, which is where most of the genetic problems such as dental deformities derive. Angora rabbits are bred for fiber, as are sheep, not for "infant" characteristics. The mini rex and the Jacob's sheep are not morphologically afflicted.

I really love the bunnies, but I wish they didn't poop so much. They are literal poo poo machines. I didn't believe it until I had a roommate that kept a couple of miniature bunnies of some sort, and god, they shat so loving much. Every time I turned around it was time to clean their loving cage. They also pissed a whole bunch, especially when they got comfy. Have you ever had an animal just settle down with you, get comfortable and PISS? It's terrible! The worst! And their piss was super milky-looking and sticky and you had to scrub and scrub and....Just gently caress, man. For a while after that, I hated bunnies. I have been able to recover. So... You can train a rabbit not to poo poo everywhere, can you train one not to piss?

They also pissed a whole bunch, especially when they got comfy. it's easier to train them to piss in one place, and also it's easier to buy a second litter box to put down in a spot the rabbit decides MUST BE PEED ON, but that only happened to me with elderly rabbits. they will still dribble poos everywhere, but at least all it takes is a dustbuster to clean up if a bunny pees on you they did it on purpose, they usually save it for their spot to pee even if they arent trained

DicktheCat posted:So... You can train a rabbit not to poo poo everywhere, can you train one not to piss? Yes, it takes time though. Just like any other animal. Find a treat it prefers, use positive reinforcement and you can train them. Success is of course limited by the animal's natural ability to learn. Some things are just "gently caress stupid". Others pick poo poo up quick.
