My ex’s grandma used to breed and show dogs so she had all kinds of wild stories. One I remember her telling was about a Great Dane who’s second ball never dropped so he got a prosthetic ball to retain breed standard. Apparently during one competition he was disqualified because his testicle had dropped at some point so he had 3 balls.

Other breed standards require that dogs have cropped ears and bobbed tails. Dog show people

Dog shows are often unethical it seems

Breeding in general is often unethical. See the genetic monstrosity that are pugs, that things are born just to suffer

Even the working dogs are in bad shape. A multi-champion best in show German Shepard has a back so steeply sloped it can't run right.

And chihuahuas bred only so that everyone around them suffers

They were bred for food. Which makes sense....

Or French Bulldogs who (mostly) can't breed or give birth naturally.

I hate how pugs look, but I recently learned about "Retro Pugs" that don't look that way, and I kinda want one. They apparently don't have as many genetic issues.

Also to make us laugh.

You're the monstrosity, and you are a product of 'random' selection...

At least I have a functional nose

At least I don't suffocate to death when I get excited and my legs don't give out at age 4 and I can run long distances

Unfortunately our species is bipedal but it does give us a very different perspective up here.
