>>2595233You know, now that you describe the likely scenario, it all makes a lot more sense. I haven’t lived in a household with dogs for a long time so I totally forgot how much chaos and neglect comes with it.
I don’t understand people that won’t crate, either. I haven’t lived a friend of a friend with dogs and she’s always saying she has to go leave early to make sure her dog doesn’t rip the place apart from its separation anxiety. I thought it was common to put them in crates while they weren’t supervised so they didn’t damage everything, but I guess that’s
abusive or something now since we’re turning dogs into little people.
>>2595157Wow and it’s even mounting other dogs in clear dominance language but it’s all brushed aside by the doggo experts who say “just keep it away from other dogs and people and everything should be fine.” This is insane.
>>2595253I think their genetic mutations are just catching up with them. Dogs used to live 15+ years when I was a kid and now people think they’re seniors at like 9. I breed show chickens and culling heavily is just part of it. It’s not a very happy part of it, and a lot of them just grow up into meat birds which you obviously can’t do with dogs, but that’s how you keep to a breed’s standards of perfection.
