It's been a while since I have updated my blog :)

I'm probably just an irritable person but there is one thing I simply do not understand. That is the people who buy mutts because "they're the best pets" but the first question they ask about that mutt is "what breed is it?" Doesn't that defeat the entire point of owning a mutt? It's not a breed. It's a mix of breeds, most of which are unidentifiable as to which breeds contributed to that mutt. If you want a mutt why can't you be happy with a mutt? Why must you play 24 questions regarding which breeds it resembles the most? What is important is, whether you like the animal or not. I did a study where I made a cross bred litter out of three distinct breeds and had breeders guess what breeds they were at different stages of their life. Not a single person guessed correctly any of the breeds that went into those rabbits and those were people who have been in the rabbit industry long enough to be able to spot and name specific breeds. Now a pet person asking a bunch of other pet people what breed is it is guaranteed to be wrong.

Also if you don't buy a purebred from a reputable breeder that gives you a 4 generation pedigree attributing to the fact it is indeed a purebred, chances are it is A.) Not a purebred or B.) Not a decent example of the breed. Often times I see something like the following scenario Bobby goes to a farm, Bobby buys a baby bunny for $5. Baby bunny is black and white, of unknown origin. 1 year later Bobby is selling it as a "Rare English Spot Rabbit" and wilfully denies that this black and white rabbit is anything but an English Spot even when repeatedly told this rabbit is in fact a Dutch.

Lack of knowledge is one thing, it can be corrected. Ignorance is a whole other story. If you choose to ignore  advice and proceed to go on about certain things you don't really know it makes you look like a fool to those who chose to educate themselves on what they didn't know. I learned to sex rabbits at 1 week old when I was twelve. There is no excuse for an adult to not be able to properly sex a rabbit when it's 6 weeks old.
