That article was absolutely disgusting. I wonder how much the writer was paid by the broker to write that. Quote:

Hahaha sorry aren't pigs supposed to be as smart as dogs, couldn't they just train service pigs, then when you are done with it you can have a bacon sandwich, oh that's terrible.... but really I did hear that, if people are not allergic to pigs couldn't that work? I wonder if they have ever considered it |
I think it'd be harder to get away with bringing a pig into a supermarket than a service dog...specially in the meat section. |
I have a "designer breed." Let me just say that my designer breed (Shorkie) will never end up in a shelter. EVER! When I refer to her in public, I call her a Yorkie mix so that I don't increase interest in this "breed." The issue for me is that any breeder that deliberately crosses is probably a crappy breeder to start. in fact, I've never seen any reputable, quality breeder offer mixes. |

That may be another reason the man who was allergic couldn't have just a standard poodle. He may have needed a bigger dog to do what he needed them to do. Some service dogs need to be able to support their owner. If the guy was really large, a poodle may not have cut it. In addition, labs are notoriously good service dogs. You don't really see a lot of poodles and there may be reasons for that I am unaware of. They have also done research where certain dog breeds are more attuned to things like seizure disorders and such. I'm not sure which they are, but the point is that the breed of dog can make a difference depending on the service you need. Just throwing my two cents in on that. :) |
I definitely support the concept of breeding/crossbreeding. If not, then we wouldn't have all the wonderful breeds out there which are able to assist and focus their spatiality for our needs. I however, think WE'RE THERE, we don't need any more breeds. And I vigorously object to someone just stirring the pot, to get a cute little animal, where they can line their pocketbooks, and have no regard at all, to the medical issues, which they create. |
My main issue, besides breeding more dogs, is calling them "designer" dogs and then selling them for a premium price. My aunt paid a hefty fee for her labradoodles that are basically just another mix breed. She has 2 of them and they both look and act completely different. |
I don't see why mixed breeds needed to be created for people with disabilities in the first place. There was already a SMART, hypoallergenic breed- the Standard Poodle- poodles are already trained as service dogs. When you mix, you have no idea what you are getting anyway- the dog may not even be hypo allergenic. If you think a poodle is "too girly or prissy" then you shouldn't get a service dog. |
