“Anyone who buys one buys it as a vanity piece, and has gotten an animal in effect bred to have a shortened life with much suffering, PERIOD.”
But there’s plenty of Belgian Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds, Heelers, and similar breeds that live to be 16 years old. The longest lived dog on record was an Australian Cattle Dog named “Bluey” she lived to be 29 years of age. It’s entirely illogical to say that all purebreds are less healthy than all mutts, when the average Australian Cattle Dog lives around 13.40 years of age whereas the average mutt lives 13.2 years of age. In the end it all depends on if the dog is bred for conformation/appearance or workability and health. Dogs like Malinois, Heelers, Kelpies, Dutch Shepherds, and Coonhounds that are typically bred more for workability than show will inevitably have stabler temperaments and better genetics. Same with mutts they’ll typically be healthier than show dogs, but nonetheless if you mixed a Cane Corso with a Neapolitan Mastiff there’s a high chance they’ll have more or less the same health risks as a purebred because they have similar health risks either way. Now once again with purebred dogs you know what health problems they’re prone to and thus can prepare to have regular screenings for those health problems, but with your typical super mutt although the chance of them having health complications are minimal there’s still that small chance. Now I hope you’ve realized the absurdity that you’re arguing that because hybrid dogs have a lower chance of getting genetic disorders you’re saying that mixed breeds are superior, but that same absolute logic doesn’t go towards the minimal amount of pregnancies that are actually in legitimate need for abortion. The argument that easy access abortion is a need for extremely uncommon circumstances, is the same as saying purebred dogs are needed because if a mutt has older parents either way they’re at a larger risk of genetic mutation. Just ‘cause theoretically an older sire or dam would put the dog at a higher risk of genetic mutations even if they’re out crossed doesn’t negate the risks of inbreeding. So just ‘cause theoretically there’s a very very small chance that an abortion is in fact needed to save the mother’s life, should not mean that it’s justified to have easy access to it.
