This article proves that it can be very useful for supporting a refutation as well as other…

selection- both lead to changes in allele frequencies while artificial selection is controlled breeding with the intent of perpetuating individuals with a particular phenotype 28. Why do purebred dogs suffer from so many genetic diseases? The main problem with purebreds stems from the simple fact that to create a purebred puppy you need two dogs from the exact same gene pool. This gene pool is already limited, As many of these gene pools are limited or closed, the risk of genetic defects rises…

the passing down of recessive traits from parents to offspring. One reason that recessive alleles cause offspring to differ from their parents is shown an experiment conducted by Gregor Mendel. In this experiment, Mendel crossed a purebred tall plant with a purebred short plant. The resulting offspring, or the first filial generation, was entirely tall. The first filial generation was allowed to self-pollinate, and the second filial generation, to Mendel’s surprise was approximately one-fourth…

programs to kill dingoes as they cost people 50 million Australian dollars (R$138 million) in livestock losses per year.) Mainly, the dingo is becoming more endangered is because of breeding with other type of dogs, there are becoming less and less purebred dingoes alive. It is because of humans, other animals and themselves.

A blog written by Helene, an English teacher wrote a blog about why she and others chose to adopt from breeders. The first reason Helene explained for the reasoning behind adopting from a breeder was the fact that she wanted a purebred dog and not a mutt or mixed breed (1). Helene explained from her blog post on September 23, 2014 that she chose her dog because “he comes from a long line of well bred, award winning, working Dobermans” (1). The idea that she can have a dog from…

they were found on the streets or maybe even rescued from an abusive home. Shelters put down thousands of animals every year when they are unable to find a home. Pet stores do not have this problem. Dogs from shelters are often not as appealing as purebred dogs because they usually don't look as cute and cuddly. In order to prevent the death of more dogs who need help, shelters need to experience more business, resulting in more dogs being adopted and lives being saved. Pet stores distract from…

So a couple of weeks ago I was at a horse show, and keep in mind, horse show people are the most extra group of people I've ever known in my life. A lot of people bring their dogs to these shows, and on this specific day someone had brought their little fluffball. So obviously, I was obligated to pet it because it's law that you have to pet the tiny fluffy thing, and then his owner, completely unsolicited, goes "ah yes, this is Francois. He’s a Meagle-poo". First of all, who names their dog…
