Do you know any of the 19th century experimental breeds that still exist?
- lynguist 4y agoTwo famous examples: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saarloos_wolfdog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saarloos_wolfdog The goal here was to recreate a fictional original German Aryan dog, untainted by modern degeneracy. The breeder thought to recreate the original heroic character by introducing the wolf into the breed, resulting in unbalanced, untrainable hybrids. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovakian_Wolfdog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovakian_Wolfdog This was supposed to be another version of a better German Shepherd, better suited to the mountains. The result was the same as above. The takeaway message is that every dog breed has its purpose, and that its character is inherited. There are dangerous dog breeds just bred to kill dogs or bulls (pit bull terrier). Some dog breeds were created without regard for the dog’s physiology (pug). Others were created without taking into account the temperament.
