Should Dogs Be Bred for Beauty?
Praising adorable purebred puppies and dogs puts them into a Miss or Mr. Universe dog show pitting ideal looks, size and breed standards. This kind of cultural dog show thinking causes over-breeding and inbreeding. Several popular dog breeds require all puppies being delivered under surgery at veterinarian hospitals. I think this practice is harmful to dogs. Many purebred puppies die in their first few weeks because of inbreed weaknesses.

Do You Have a Mutt Full of Personality?
Do you have one?

- Tell me why your mutt should win a basket of healthy goodies from Dog Leader Mysteries?
So far, Pierson’s mom Dawn has officially entered.
1- “Pierson is my mutt.”
2- “I found him at Pierson Park in Kansas City, Kansas. The word was that he had been living there for at least half the month of December and part of January, possibly longer. He had no tags, no microchip, and was full of fleas and ticks. He was also very shy. It took me three days to catch him, but when I did it was the best day ever. He is a fantastic dog and everybody loves him, especially me. ❤”
3- “Why should he get a basket of healthy goodies? Because even though I captured him in a park, he is the one who captured my heart. ❤❤❤”
Go see Pierson on his mom’s American Dog Blog.
Contest is LIMITED to mutts living in the USA.
