"Pure..."One purebred toy poodle..."<br /><br />"Purebred" was the wrong word for me to use. What I meant was that this particular toy poodle has been examined by a reputable breeder who did lots of sensitive tests and identified her as a toy poodle. This does not mean she doesn't act like a chihuahua on occasion, or that she doesn't get read as a Pomeranian or a Doberman Pinscher sometimes.Terahttp://sweetperdition.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794893825407092443.post-45404046053420330892009-10-07T15:08:03.091-04:002009-10-07T15:08:03.091-04:00"Toy poodles are not dogs," insists cani..."Toy poodles are not dogs," insists canine advocate WTF, even though the American Kennel Club has never said that a toy poodle is a type of dog. (Although it's early yet, the AKC seems to think that "toy poodle" is a hunting style found in some dogs and other non-dog animals, such as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambian_pouched_rat" rel="nofollow">Gambian pouched rat</a>*). Nevertheless, WTF uses the argument that toy poodles are not dogs in discussions where most of the animals are cocker spaniels, greyhounds, Rottweilers and German Shepherds.<br /><br />It's extremely difficult to know what a toy poodle is, because acording to WTF all the breed books about them are wrong. Also, all the toy poodles except hers are really cocker spaniels, greyhounds, Rottweilers and German Shepherds. (One purebred toy poodle who doesn't fit WTFs definition of "toy poodle" responded to the controversy by taking a nap inside Paris Hilton's purse). <br /><br />So, if all the toy poodles in the breed books are really Jack Russell terriers, cocker spaniels, greyhounds and Rottweilers, doesn't that disprove WTF's argument that these breeds are not all dogs? <br /><br />WTF could not be reached for comment.<br /><br /><br />*I know Gambian pouched rats are herbivores. But they are cute, and some of them are about as big as very small dogs, if not bigger.Terahttp://sweetperdition.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794893825407092443.post-40864342270703469542009-10-07T08:27:37.141-04:002009-10-07T08:27:37.141-04:00I'll never again be able to look at a photo of...I'll never again be able to look at a photo of a certain "advocate" without picturing Squawkers in wig and pearls.<br /><br />Fantastic satire!abfhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228622726560993968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794893825407092443.post-62457668429440876352009-10-06T20:14:25.218-04:002009-10-06T20:14:25.218-04:00Something tells me Mr. Hogarty is not going to be ...Something tells me Mr. Hogarty is not going to be amused.
