Dogs. No one knows where they come from but they're here and they're here to stay. For the most part this has been a good thing! Dogs are cool. They can run and jump and sit! They can eat and be your friend. But then some clown decided to transform them into something horrible and now I'm personally stuck having to see an occasional bichon frise. Yuck! How is it an animal can elicit such range of emotion? If I see a St. Bernard, a Bernese mountain dog, a Samoyed, a retriever etc, I am filled with joy but when I see a dog like a bichon frise I actually feel repulsed? I'm the kind of idiot who isn't bothered by critters like maggots, house centipedes, wasps or parasitic liver flukes but then someone's beloved pet makes me all grossed out. seriously their eyes get all crusty and stained and I've never met one that wasn't a complete annoying growling twit. I know it's not their fault and they only exist because people decided to smash increasingly ugly dogs together. Maybe a goon owns one that isn't a complete sack of crust? Can dogism be overcome?

i would argue that 90-95% of dogs are cool.  the dog in your avatar, for example, is cool.

 i'll grant that this one may have been cleaned up for the photo, but it's equally likely the owners you've met just all suck at taking care of their dogs cats are better anyway

They're definitely more acceptable when they let the fur grow out and they just end up looking like a funny person but yeah, I've known a family that had just the worst bichon frise ever. Visually and behaviorally. It'd pee on anything brought into the house. Was very yappy and growled when approached. It would get pissed off if you went into the hallway to go to the bathroom. It shat all over their basement. His stupid wiener would always be out and he'd try to hump you. It was not a pleasant creature to be around. They gave it away to someone who seemed like they knew what they were doing and ended up with a cat who was way way way way way way more pleasant.

That's like when a cat that's mostly sores and testicles that wants to be really really nice to you. v: yeah, small white curly dogs are gross. I'm imagining a grey one and it's not so bad.

I think the only other animals we may have hosed around so much with very little regard for the actual offspring are pigeons and goldfish. People have basically bred them to have incredibly malformed skeletons. Pugs are funny because they can't breathe.  Turrurrurrurrrrrrr posted:I wish aliens would do to us what we have done to dogs. ouf, well. There's definitely speculative fiction out there if you really have to scratch that itch. It's definitely a freaky thought experiment.

People have basically bred them to have incredibly malformed skeletons. if you tried to breed subspecies of rats that have as much difference from each other as a chow-chow does from a chihuahua you could not do it it kind of seems like historically we breed dogs for traits and their skeletons and fur just morph insanely in the process for no reason

Colonel Cancer posted:Chihuahuas fuckin suck and are bad dogs While I feel chihuahuas are fairly well known as nippy little psychos; Dachshunds can also be aggressive little shits. They tend to attract the same sort of owner who thinks they are cute, and wants a "small dog" because they equate small with "easy to care for". They don't realize these lil suckers are energetic, stubborn, scent hounds that were developed to drive badgers out of their burrows. Just the other day on the elevator I had one frothing to take a chunk out of my calf muscle while its bejeweled phone, canary yellow track suit wearing, giant sunglasses, knock off fendi bag carrying owner feebly attempted to control it while on a phone call. I was essentially pinned to the corner of the lift and she just made the white person smile face at me:  and mouthed "sorry" while I contemplated what my future would be like if I ended up on twitter as "guy who kicks cute wiener dog on elevator".

Brachycephalic breeds like pugs and shih tzus are revolting and should be allowed to go extinct. Dogs that can't breathe properly aren't cute.

Its one of the best ways for an owner to bond with their dog.

smoobles posted:Hey gently caress you #notallchihuahuas are bad, mine is super chill and friendly Chihuahuas generally have good temperaments, so do Bichons (which is one of the most well mannered breeds). There's just an odd stereotype against them because, as usual, chihuahuas were (and still are) a popular breed, and when a breed is popular the amount of incompetent owners increases proportionally. I've known as many heinously poorly trained Pirs, Labs, Retrievers, Shibas, etc. as any other breed. If the breed is popular it will have tons of examples of irresponsible owners. People buy and adopt dogs on a whim. People just project weird personal poo poo onto animals. From all the vet tech work I've done I've known a staggering amount of people with animus against small breeds because they consider them "gay" or effete. People who treat dogs as status symbols are uniformly garbage. So do people who instinctually loathe breeds because of the owner's stupidity. At least have some awareness of your own brainless bias before getting bizarrely mad at small dogs. Honestly if most people realized that they can't have a loving Pit in their tiny rear end apartment and just got a small breed the world would be a much better place with way less Pits in shelters because people just always want the hot-ticket status breed instead of something that actually suits their circumstances.
