Are Humans Born Or Cross-Bred?

Great Essays
Have you ever wondered, which dog breed best suits your personality? I bet you sure did. Do you think, even dogs would like to have their way of choosing a human based on its personality? Dogs have an inbuilt ability of reading human’s facial expressions. They have a great gift to interpret human’s emotions, moods, feelings and they act accordingly. BBC research says that since most of the domestic dogs are accustomed to spending time amongst people, they tend to develop an instinct of recognizing human’s feelings. When these intelligent creatures don’t get to choose their master’s, do we really need a choice on deciding the pure bred or cross bred?

Since the time we were kids, we admired all those pedigreed dogs, their hair texture, their

Four years ago, when I was planning to give away two stray puppies, that I have rescued, I could not find a single Vet or breeder who was willing to take them. I was horrified to learn that there are hardly any organizations for mutts, mongrels while there are so many breeders for A-Class pure breeds in the same society. People have been showing keen interest only in the pure bred. If only everyone knew, how this process would lead to fatal health conditions of animals. As long as it is in the reach of human, one should consider the health conditions of the dog, regardless, of the fact that, pure breeding/inbreeding can occur naturally too. I would also like to shed some light on the Heterosis of …show more content…
The main tool that I have used is the Intellectual comparative opinion of the dog rescuers. I have gathered my primary data by conducting an Interview with experts and dog care takers. For my quantitative analysis, I have executed a survey and analysed the Pros and Cons.
Above all, I have gathered my secondary data through Wikipedia, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Encyclopaedia of the Dog, K9 Magazine, Dog Breed Facts for Fun by Wyatt Michaels, About Dogs by Bruce Johnson, The New Complete Dog Book by American Kennel Club, The Mixed-Breed Dog by Phyllis DeGioia, Dogs by Design: How to Find the Right Mixed For You by Illene Hochberg. Most importantly the online sources, editorial articles, research papers by experts have helped me in carrying out my study.

After choosing the topic, I have requested my family and friends (7 Adults, 8 Children) who are looking forward to bring a pet home, to take part in my interview to help me with my research. I have designed a spread sheet survey of 4 simple reasoning questions. The questionnaire was such that, an answer with yes to the first question would direct them to second question and an answer with a no to the first question would direct them to fourth question. If any is their answer, they would be directed to the second question and

    They hypothesized that Pit Bulls would be in a shelter longer compared to dogs who looked similar, known as the lookalikes, but given a different breed label (para 19). Individuals who were interested in adopting a dog were shown pictures of the Pit Bulls and the lookalikes (para 21). They were asked to rate the dogs on adoptability and attractiveness (para 23). It was found that the dogs that had the label Pit Bull had a shelter stay of 47 days, while the lookalikes had a shelter stay of only 12 days (para 26). Interestingly enough, when looking solely on attractiveness, both Pit Bulls and lookalikes had the same score (para 28).…

    Jessica Yun J. Lindberg English 1101 6 April 2016 Don’t Bully a Breed The media has given pit bulls a bad reputation and states have begun to support Breed Specific Legislation laws (BSL), but there are many owners who raised their pit bull breeds in correct environments resulting in strong, loyal, and sweet lap-dogs. Although pit bulls have had a few issues that caused deaths or injuries on others, banning pit bulls does not change the fact that all breeds have had incidents of attacking humans and animals. Pit bulls have a history that leads to their companionship, loyalty, and easygoing nature.…

    Dogs from breeders are typically young, unsocialized, puppies with little knowledge of how to act in the real world (Stilwell). One major problem with dogs that came from breeders is that they tend to have more health problems due to them being purebreds. Due to inbreeding, there is a higher chance of ailments and congenital disease among dogs of this kind. Inbreeding does not provide the offspring of a mated pair with the substantial genetic variation necessary to produce an animal that has a full range of health and behavioral attributes (VetInfo). This means more money will have to go towards paying off medical bills for their…

    The segregation of humans was a problem that has only in the few hundred years actually been solved; however, now the segregation is not among us humans but rather, through dogs. The pit-bull breed, like any breed was bred for ‘…different jobs over centuries…(Enos 3)’ and as ‘…family companions…(Enos 3).’ Though, in recent years, pit bulls that had once been thrown into rings to kill one another were now being adopted out to families in order to help shelters make room for more dogs in need. Pit bulls, having the image of being aggressive and potentially dangerous, caused some states and counties to bring the laws known as the BSL or breed-specific legislation to take place. With these newfound laws, came stricter restrictions on this breed…

    While buying purebred puppies can be a tempting and aesthetically desirable purchase, a majority of puppies bought from pet shops are directly from puppy mills. These puppy mills are known as large-scale commercial dog breeding facilities which give revenue priority over the well-being of the dogs and puppies, ultimately resulting in sickly and unhealthy animals. Due to this, many of the dogs that pet stores carry today have faced a life of malnutrition, disease, and abuse. Despite the immense abuse the dogs and puppies of the puppy mills endure, the large scale breeding of animals is still legal, forcing innocent animals to live in cruel conditions until they are ultimately moved to pet shops, or killed. Altogether, in order to protect the lives of innocent animals, puppy mills…

    In the United States, there are approximately 5 to 7 million dogs or cats that enter animal shelters every year. 3 to 4 million of those are killed by euthanasia. If you do the math, the statistics are shocking to say the least. It is important for humans to love their pets as much as they love another person or family member. The American Veterinary Medical Association says that dogs and cats are the most popular pets in the United States.…

    It has been stated that, “Approximately 7.6 million dogs and cats are euthanized yearly” (Bell 3). Due to the large capacity of commercial dog-breeding operations, there are more pets offered than customers desire. Stray animals come in all different shapes and sizes, and any breed could struggle mentally through this disastrous environment. Veterinarians and animal shelters have to make room for new incoming pets, and have no choice but to put down pets that are not claimed by an owner for a restricted time period.…

    Topic: Adopting and Rescuing Animals Specific Purpose: To persuade my effective speaking class the benefits of adopting a pet over buying one from a breeder or pet store. Central Idea: Adopting animals and rescuing is much more beneficial than buying an animal from a pet store because you won’t be unknowingly or knowingly supporting a puppy mill, you will be saving an animal’s life, and you will feel better overall in the end about rescuing your new pet rather than buying. INTRODUCTION Attention-Getter: According to Humane Society of the United States organization’s website I accessed on December 6, 2016, “Each year, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States, simply because too many pets come into shelters and…
