Since it’s the dreaded middle of the week and I’ve hit you with a lot of text lately, please enjoy this wonderful black comedy staring a black and tan mutt named Mars and the stars from TV’s Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis. A Dog’s Breakfast.

I never knew raw feeding could be so much fun. And useful. What do you think Mars is? One of his websites suggests a Rotty-terrier mix, but I’m not convinced.

Anton: Many years later……..Researchi ng something and came across Chris’s article and realised I never replied to you UCC. Yes exactly, ridges are found in the general pariah type dog population. Which would be a...
Christopher: And easily corrected? Psh. There’s nothing easy about getting eugenicist morons to open their stud books and bring in new blood. History shows just how rarely it has been done.
Christopher: Having been around a lot of border collies, the show bred dogs are much more neurotic. Heck, the only aggressive nasty border collies I’ve met were inbred show dogs. I’ve seen plenty of game border collies from...
Christopher: Taking it out on the dogs? What? Border Collies are smart but they don’t read and can’t browse the internet. I don’t think a single one of them could possibly be offended by what is printed here. LMFAO.

Christopher: I’m not sure that you can so easily say that wild animals eat a more varied diet than domestic. We might see kibble or whatnot as mush, but the realities of the modern market mean that what goes into pet food are...
Essere: Wild animals eat a varied diet and are exposed to more viruses than captive animals as viruses are airborne. Food and Viruses don’t change our genome and offer protection against inbreeding continuously in the long run?
