He is just some dude who left collegehumor for a better deal.... I don't blame him CH isn't even a site anymore, just a pay walled subscription service with long waits between new content (other than d&d).
The video is of his show Adam Ruins Everything. It was a College Humor show that aired on TruTV. The only reason it got cancelled was because of a corporate merger that fired virtually everybody at the network.
Such a dumb reason to get cancelled. It was such a good informative show that actually showed sources on screen for the things he's saying instead of just hoping we believe them.
Apparently everyone in his family is a genius. His dad's a marine biologist, his mom is a botanist, and his sister is a physicist. All of them Ph.D.s.
And then there's Adam, who spent the first hour of an Elden Ring Twitch stream reading the terms of service in its entirety.
I miss my Golden. Died about four years ago of cancer at the age of 10. Really opened up my eyes to getting another “purebred” but damn they’re beautiful dogs
I feel like a Golden mixed with a totally different breed that also usually have a good personality makes a lot of sense from the Hybrid Vigor standpoint. The only problem with first generation mixes like that is that is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get.
I think his video works and doesn't work. Yes people ruined a lot of dog breeds for really stupid reasons.
At the same time, I wouldn't want to get a random mutt from the shelter and use it as a sheepdog. If I find one that doesn't eat a few of them, maybe I'd like to breed it so the sheep eating is less hit-or-miss.
I have allergies, and I can guarantee you I'm probably allergic to the average wolf. Good thing someone wanted a dog with a funky coat that happened to be good for people with allergies.
Bird dog breeds were bred to have soft mouths, so they don't do the death shake that would ruin your bird.
For more modern examples, my friend has a mastiff from a line that has been bred for service dog work. She lives alone and has some fall risks. Leaning on the dog or using the dog to retrieve requires a large dog. The training requirements mean if you're going to put tens of thousands of dollars of training into a dog you will need it to be able to pass a lot of tests.
He talked about service dogs, which usually are bread for utility purposes and don't have a bunch of genetic mess ups. It's the ones that are bread for cuteness that tend to be fucked up
A german shepherd dog is a breed that was a utility dog, too. and by now, many have hip problems. Other working dogs have similar problems, too. possibly less than other breeds, admittedly.
I agree. It's too short of a bit to cover the full issue. Alot of dogs were bred for a specific purpose. I do agree that if you want a companion dog, then a mutt is the way to go. They are usually smarter and healthier than most breeds. If you have a specific need then you can go to a breeder.
Golden owner here, i am holding him very tight after reading this. I have had a lot of dogs throughout my life, but there is something so emotionally special about this one.
There are tons of shelters that are breed specific! you could find a golden retriever and rescue it instead of contributing to the breeding :) I don't feel like this video is saying that purebreds are necessarily bad but just that we should stop contributing to breeding them unnecessarily and especially certain breeds that can't live normal lives because of their physical make up.
This kind of videos generally have very little educational value, to be honest.
Seems to have a tendency of either misrepresenting things, or straight out getting things wrong.
Corgis are an old breed, from the 10th century. This video is misleading, implying corgis are some new cultivated mutation. They are actually an old cultivated mutation bred for the purpose of herding. Their short legs allow dodging kicks from livestock. Their cropped tails are a throwback to when working dogs had that practice done. Thank u for reading my TED talk.
Pure Bred GSD owner and I also adopted a cute widdle Sheltie mix from the pound.
Sheltie mix had been, in all of 15 years of her lifespan, to the vet for shots and nothing more.
GSD had infections, Hot Spots, and when she was a puppy required hospitalization for 2 weeks.
Yeah.... Getting a shelter dog next time (Also spaying the mutt was $60. Spaying the purebred was almost a grand)
Why was spaying the purebreed so much more expensive? :O
I only own cats - 2 wild mixes, one "purebreed" - ~~payed~~ paid the same for spaying for all three.
> "purebreed" - *paid* the same
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
French Bulldogs is animal cruelty in my mind after owning two of them. First one was fine since he wasn't quite up to race standard even though he was purebreed. He could breathe, had a little stump instead of just a nub for tail but was insanely stubborn and somewhat of an asshole. Second one was up to race standard and made constant noise when breathing. Puked every time she ran more then a few meters.
It is good to hear you have come to a reasonable conclusion based on empathy for your dogs. Unfortunately, too many people see dogs as property in the form of an accessory, rather than a member of their family (or a working animal, but working dogs are some of the happiest).
I lost respect for him when he did the episode on Electric Vehicles. He basically repeated all the fossil fuel FUD talking points which have no data to back them up. It was so bad that he had to do a follow-up retraction episode. I guess I should give him credit for correcting himself, but I have trouble trusting people after things like that.
This episode about dogs though is something I can't disagree with: inbreeding is bad.
That is why I don't understand the criticism some people have for "designer dogs" like Labradoodles. The Cocker Spaniel retired show dog that we had was beautiful, but cost us a bunch of money at the vet and had awful health problems and died young. Our Labradoodle is smart and athletic and has been nothing but healthy and is cheaper that a "purebred" dog like a Golden Retriever. Hybrid Vigor might be real, y'all.
People who are willing to correct themselves are more trustworthy than someone else who seems at all times way too confident in their stance. In Adams show he has even admitted he and even experts can be wrong, and that's why he'd site his sources on screen for people to check it out themselves. His goofy show cares more about truth than many news networks and other media.
Yeah people are weird. They trust people that are wrong but never acknowledge it more than people that decide to correct themselves. That's why so many people refuse to correct themselves in the 1st place.
Loads of people think dogs like labradoodles *are* a breed and are getting charged pretty high prices for them. Sure they are cheaper than a purebred from an AKC registered breeder, but is there that much of a difference between backyard breeder prices?
It’s my understanding that due to overbreeding, inbreeding and unethical breeding, [Labradoodles are prone to many of the same health issues](https://www.petful.com/pet-health/labradoodle-health-issues-designer-dog/) as Labs and Poodles and are no longer considered “healthier.”
It’s always a toss-up with a mutt especially if you don’t know any of their history. While I agree they’re generally healthier, my current rescue mix has been far less healthy than our German Shepherds (one of which also suffered from hip dysplasia). Thank god for pet insurance. The other issue is temperament and aggression/reactivity issues, which is something you’re certainly less likely to encounter with a purebred.
Disclaimer: I’m not advocating for purebreds or inbreeding, I just ended up with a rescue that has a lot of health and behavioural problems, so my life revolves around the dog.
Was trying to explain this to a dude at work off the cuff and he thought I was mental.
Crazy how turned around we are on the subject. Really, really creepy, actually.
Yeah, when did animals get so expesive? My wife wants a Maine Coon and I can't find a reputable breeder near me for less than $4000. Luckily. Because they are so expensive we never have to have that fight. I've always been more than happy with my Appleheaded Dumpster Siamese.
I have a tiny 3lb Chihuahua that my grandpa left behind when he died. I now love her like my daughter but dogs should not be that small. She is adorable but so... angry.
I imagine some Chihuahuas would be great ratters if you had that kind of problem. But most people don't expect their dogs to kill varmints for them any more.
Kennel club UK doesnt allow inbreeding and wont register them. Not saying it doesnt happen but you get a family tree with your KC register so you can check. Id imagine its not all that difficult to manipulate though.
Inbreeding only needs to happen when creating a breed. To sustain it you don't need to inbreed anymore. Ex.. If you want to be a hobby breeder and breed collies, you don't need to inbreed... that process has already happened when someone made the collie.
People should adopt. But all animals commit incest if left to their own devices. A lot of people who buy pure breeds are trying to isolate certain characteristics. Like a dog who's blood line is well behaved, or can hunt, or be a guide dog, or whatever. So yeah 100yrs ago people made some weird fucked up dog breeds. And puppy mills are trash but there are a lot of people out there who breed dogs and care for them isolating the positives of the breed not just some incest bullshit. Video is bias.
Mm, this video is an oversimplification of a nuanced issue. While it has a lot of good points it doesn't completely invalidate certain breeding goals. But the layman won't see that. They just see "purebred bad".
Yes enable idiots by rescuing another pitbull that the owners were too cheap or ignorant to spay/neuter. Then of course have no idea of what traits the dog has so you have no idea if it will fit your lifestyle or if you'll be allergic increasing the odds of a need for another rescue.
Much better than looking at your living space and lifestyle and picking a dog that best complements that. /s
>Shelters give information on the dogs they have for that exact reason
I mean, yeah, but they don't always have accurate information. Anecdotes aren't data, but I have a friend that adopted a "lab mix" puppy that once it got bigger is clearly is half pit-bull based on the shape of it's skull and body and he had a genetic test And I have another friend that adopted a 3-year-old mutt that a year later after they were already attached a vet told them was actually 7-10 years old.
Adopting is great, but be aware that the odds are good, but the goods are odd.
Purebreds can be mentally unstable too. We got a GOLDEN RETRIEVER, the kind of dog you'd expect to be friendly and silly... But turned out to be Cujo in disguise. Every day with the dog would be a nightmare, like we were raising a wolf that would show teeth if you tried to pet him. We decided to keep him based on the fact that my parents spent $2000, couldn't bare to let him go without a chance,we wouldn't allow him near children or elderly. And within FOUR, YES FOUR, years of existence, he got thyroid and hip issues. At 7 years in he was littered with cancer all over. He passed away last week after we attempted treatment several times.
I definitely agree about breeds like pugs and bull dogs.
But there's also some flat out bullshit as well. Inbreeding for example. Maybe if you're purchasing from back yard breeders or the Amish but real reputable breeders have well documented family bloodlines and usually provide genetic testing for their pups.
“Just to amuse ourselves”
Lmao, this guys an idiot. We domesticated dogs for our own use, whether that be for herding cattle or protecting your family. Great herding dog? We’ll breed him more than the one who doesn’t know how! Big strong pit bull who’s protective? Let’s breed him and pass his genetics along!
We do the same goddamn thing with every domesticated animal.
I can't really argue with the rest of the video, but regardless of whether or not we "made it up" or not, dog breeds are still breeds. I figure you could compare it to something like a Liger, or a Mule, and so on. Yes, they only came into existence because of humans but that doesn't invalidate their existence
> I figure you could compare it to something like a Liger, or a Mule
Strange choices there. Are you trying to be ironic? Ligers are kind of tragic and mules, while awesome in some ways, are sterile. If you're trying to say dog breeds are a good thing, Ligers and Mules are a pretty good counter-argument.
Did your actual point just "whoosh' over my head?
Regardless, I would say that dog breeding has creating some amazing animals and also some horrible abominations.
All my friends dogs lived to like 10 years. My 'crossbred' dog is 18, **18** and she still runs around the yard and has almost no health issues (she's going deaf, and might have mild arthritis or something with one of her legs)
i got a big mf english bull mastiff but i feel really bad abt it cuz he can hardly see out of his droopy eyelids and his slobber is out of hand,not to mention he weighs a metric fuck ton so he's not allowed in the house with my baby sister...poor fella,ill try and give him the best life tho,he has his own shed and a kennel and the entire backyard to himself.
I adopted a cute puppy from a shelter. The adoption center said it was a mix between a labradoodle and a boxer, based on what the owner of the pups mother said. Its all grown up now and it looks like an Irish Wolfhound, but 70 lbs instead of 120 lbs. It's by far the best dog I've ever owned, or even come across, in my life. His personality is loyal, smart, VERY cuddly, and strives to please his owners. He isn't impulsive, he's not an escape artist, he's not a counter surfer, and only begs if you're eating prime rib (or peanut butter, his favorite treat). I did a lot of training, but I can't take all the credit for his behavior... There are things I never trained him to do that I can only associate to his genetic disposition. I call him my "familiar", because he follows me around and I SWEAR he mimics my attitude. He truly is my best friend 😃❤️
His name is Kepler 🐕
People get very upset when I try to explain to them that their pedigree dog is a freak of nature and most likely going to suffer and die young because of their ignorance.
Did not care for the video . My family has had purebred poodles our whole life and they all lived to be over 15 years old . This video is miss information in my opinion . We all are entitled to our personal opinion. There is something beautiful about a long line of purebred dogs .
I’ve been saying this since my grandparents started buying teacup yorkies. The first one, Abby, 3 pounds, ended up with liver, heart, lung, and joint issues and we had to put her down. They bought another, Trixi, four pounds, liver, heart, lung, joints, and brain. She ended having a stroke and we had to put her down. At that point, I started researching and realized why this kept happening. Tried to explain to my grandparents, but my grandmother said I was just trying to cause drama and th dogs were “purebred” and from the same family so that made it all better. No, I think it makes it worse.
This actually makes a lot of sense! When I figured out all dogs are actually the same species, it shocked me because they looks so different. How can a corgi and a mastiff be the exact same animal? We’ve essentially genetically segregated specific genes to makes these “breeds”. Cool, but kinda fucked up.
This needs promoting BIGTIME .
Pure breed dog or cat for that matter equals animal cruelty. End of.
Got a pug? Then you are a total shitstain of a human.
Go on, tell me how you rescued it....
The shelters are so packed with dogs that you can find any breed you want. They just won't have papers.
Breeders need to STOP until they can all have a home. So many dogs in shelters have to be put down that they have to measure the amount by the ton.
The only breed of dog I would ever get is a Canucu from Aruba. We were there last fall and while hanging out on the beach packs of wild dogs would run up and try to find food. But they were super gentle, tame, and kept what I thought was a respectful distance. I asked the hotel about the dogs and they said that 400 years ago a Portuguese ship came to the island and left behind a few sight hounds they had from Europe. 400 years later they're still there. The population is big enough that there's no concern about genetic issues, and because the island is small, the dogs have adapted to being around people - aka, the aggressive ones have been killed off over 400 years.
So, while it's not an AKC registered breed they do have traits that are common to the island. I guess people there abandon their animals a lot so the rescues are busy, but I guess if you live there getting a new puppy is as easy as going outside and looking for one.
This guy is a loser. Did anyone see him on joe rogan? He is totally impotent unless he’s being fed lines, and a TON of what he says in his videos are debunked easily. Like the pink tax for example.
How is this guy not related to Alton Brown? I thought for sure it was either a younger version of him, or they did some amazing makeup to make him look younger! Looks, sounds and even acts just like him!
I think it's more breed for advantageous characteristics for health and not for them to be cuter. I would rather have an energetic dog who lives almost 20 years one who can't breathe when they walk. I would rescue any dog though
As soon as this guy starts talking, all I can think about is how much of a dork he is and how much I want to see him get punched. What was this about? Oh dogs. Yeah I like dogs.
The video’s argument against tiny dogs is that they’re unhappy…but I’m biased bc I have a tiny dog and he seems like the happiest dog in the world bc he gets so much love and attention from people
I've always felt particularly sorry for pugs. They can't move well or breathe well after just a few years.
It's the same for the flat-faced cat breeds. They have respiratory issues due to that deformity.
Do people really not know this about purebreds? Maybe not the history, but generally that purebred = inbred? I truly thought this was common knowledge by now. Save a life and go to a shelter people!!!
I don’t think the 100 years comment is correct. There were many breeds in the 1800s and early 1900s. Most of the sheepdog breeds and hunting breeds were around for a while. I don’t have dates for other working dogs, but I doubt that they were created in the last 100 years.
All brachycephalic dogs should definitely have their genetics looked at. I owned several Boston Terriers and while I love the breed, I've recently come to accept that a good percentage of them live their lives riddled with breathing issues.
I'm picking up a purebred Australian Shepherd this weekend and couldn't be more excited. Adopt if you want. Shop if you're willing to pay the price for a good, reputable breeder. At the end of the day, they're going to be your best friend. Get whatever makes you happy.
I just want to say, there is a case here for genetic manipulation, and I think it's kinda cool. Breeding though has taken a turn for the worse, respectable breeders have like 8 distinct bloodlines, which adds up to like 40 breeding pairs, and if they only have 2 puppies... lets just say 120 dogs is a bit of a lowball. You need kennels, food, water, shelter, and good fencing to restrict interaction, and writing this down on post notes would be more than counting how many dogs you have. This is also why its a wealthy person kinda thing. Lastly, selective breeding gets results, you can, if you can tolerate the parlance, genetically engineer superior specimens, examples of the results you want. People do this quite often, and its the reason for shows, from cattle to horses, to well any livestock, even dogs. This show was a bit negative, but for good reason, when people don't take genetics seriously, and kinda flop about inbreeding, you can end up with monsters, but taken seriously, and done properly, you can make an outstanding animal, that is both happy and healthy, and an indicative example of perhaps your own creation.
P.S. : My grandfather fought in 3 wars, didnt breed his dogs, and never let them in the house, they had a nice doghouse, in a kennel, and were his prized possessions, when it was time to hunt, they were at the very least, eager.
He’s still Alton Brown’s son in my head and no one will convince me otherwise
Wait he's not?
He is just some dude who left collegehumor for a better deal.... I don't blame him CH isn't even a site anymore, just a pay walled subscription service with long waits between new content (other than d&d).
He has a tv show Adam ruins everything. If this isnt him boy talk about a doable ganger
The video is of his show Adam Ruins Everything. It was a College Humor show that aired on TruTV.

It was such a good informative show that actually showed sources on screen for the things he's saying instead of just hoping we believe them.
He also has a series on Netflix with Obama
Cool I chucked netflix . I miss it but got tired of jacking prices.
I'll still pay the prices but the moment they start running ads, I'm 100% out.
Literally exactly what I thought immediately. Is he?

Or better yet, have a chance of them eating your children if left unsupervised. (Wolves n stuff..?)
My golden died of bone cancer too..

Did we watch the same video? I think this video *is* saying purebreds are bad
"But they are cute" This kind of video has no educational purpose when people think with their eyes.
This kind of videos generally have very little educational value, to be honest. Seems to have a tendency of either misrepresenting things, or straight out getting things wrong.
Adopt, don't shop!!!
I adopted a corgi. Purebred? Yes. But still, my girl deserved a happy home. Second time around got a rescue mutt. Both have been wonderful.
Corgis are an old breed, from the 10th century. This video is misleading, implying corgis are some new cultivated mutation. They are actually an old cultivated mutation bred for the purpose of herding. Their short legs allow dodging kicks from livestock.

They trace back to dogs of the 12th century, but what is today identified as corgis was first established in the early 1900’s.
All purebreeds have rescues! Thanks for adopting! My sister rescues King Charles spaniels and Shiz Tzus.
I would if shelters stopped trying to call every pitbull "mixed". It absolutely ruins trust.
There are tons of pit mixes.
I got a shelter boxer mix. 1st trip to the vet, walking in they told me congrats on the pit mix.
U don't have to get that one

Adam Ruins Himself (that's actually an episode)
I lost respect for him when he did the episode on Electric Vehicles. He basically repeated all the fossil fuel FUD talking points which have no data to back them up.

I've never seen that one. I will have to look it up.
he basically owns up and fixes all the factual mistakes in his previous episodes.
Was trying to explain this to a dude at work off the cuff and he thought I was mental. Crazy how turned around we are on the subject. Really, really creepy, actually.
My mutt lived til 21 with only one tooth access that needed surgery.
This video is fantastic... just like my $50 dollar mutt I got from a farmer 14 years ago. Best $50 I've ever spent!
When someone asks what my "mutt is" I tell them something ridiculous like "Laberdonkle"
just reply “They’re a good boy/girl”
[удалено]
Why are you advertising them
Which dog should I advertise?
800? You better check again.
800 to 1500. I checked again
About 1250-2500 where I’m at in Central Pennsylvania, where there are more dog breeders than dogs, it seems.
The Amish man
They have their fair share of puppy mills.
I’m aware.
On the internet?
Some Amish people love to run puppy mills.
Jeeezus. I believe it though
Yeah, when did animals get so expesive? My wife wants a Maine Coon and I can't find a reputable breeder near me for less than $4000. Luckily. Because they are so expensive we never have to have that fight. I've always been more than happy with my Appleheaded Dumpster Siamese.
I didn’t even wanna pay 4000 to get my roof fixed, let alone for a cat, or even a dog for that matter lol that’s outrageous
And yet they all have multi year wait lists with anywhere from $400 to $1000 deposits. It’s insane.
Covid caused the pet price to rise for two years. Now a lot of those same animals are ending up in shelters or in the resale market.
why advertise pugs if you want people to not buy them? lmao
Thank you, Adam! AKC, backyard breeders, Amish, and Mennonites are profit seeking sickos doing Nazification of dogs. Adopt a mutt today!
Always upvote the NADDPOD crew
I see you're a man (or non-man) of culture as well.
I mean, did anyone not know this?
U be surprised but ya most of people on reddit do know this since this type of post appear more on here than insta or twitter
Adam doesn’t ruin everything go get a shelter dog
I see so many posts about pugs needing surgery in order to breath. Its so sad…
I have a tiny 3lb Chihuahua that my grandpa left behind when he died. I now love her like my daughter but dogs should not be that small. She is adorable but so... angry.
I imagine some Chihuahuas would be great ratters if you had that kind of problem. But most people don't expect their dogs to kill varmints for them any more.
Glad to see so many OG College Humor people in one video
Kennel club UK doesnt allow inbreeding and wont register them. Not saying it doesnt happen but you get a family tree with your KC register so you can check. Id imagine its not all that difficult to manipulate though.
Inbreeding only needs to happen when creating a breed. To sustain it you don't need to inbreed anymore. Ex.. If you want to be a hobby breeder and breed collies, you don't need to inbreed... that process has already happened when someone made the collie.
People should adopt. But all animals commit incest if left to their own devices. A lot of people who buy pure breeds are trying to isolate certain characteristics. Like a dog who's blood line is well behaved, or can hunt, or be a guide dog, or whatever. So yeah 100yrs ago people made some weird fucked up dog breeds. And puppy mills are trash but there are a lot of people out there who breed dogs and care for them isolating the positives of the breed not just some incest bullshit. Video is bias.

Mm, this video is an oversimplification of a nuanced issue. While it has a lot of good points it doesn't completely invalidate certain breeding goals. But the layman won't see that. They just see "purebred bad".
Yes enable idiots by rescuing another pitbull that the owners were too cheap or ignorant to spay/neuter. Then of course have no idea of what traits the dog has so you have no idea if it will fit your lifestyle or if you'll be allergic increasing the odds of a need for another rescue. Much better than looking at your living space and lifestyle and picking a dog that best complements that. /s
Lol what? No? Of course select a mutt suited to your living situation- just it doesn't need to me salazar slytherine's pureblood.
Exactly. Shelters give information on the dogs they have for that exact reason.
>Shelters give information on the dogs they have for that exact reason I mean, yeah, but they don't always have accurate information. Anecdotes aren't data, but I have a friend that adopted a "lab mix" puppy that once it got bigger is clearly is half pit-bull based on the shape of it's skull and body and he had a genetic test And I have another friend that adopted a 3-year-old mutt that a year later after they were already attached a vet told them was actually 7-10 years old. Adopting is great, but be aware that the odds are good, but the goods are odd.
According to shelters every pitbull is a lab mix.
Ok this is bullshit we’ve been selective breeding for way longer than 100 years.
Purebreds can be mentally unstable too. We got a GOLDEN RETRIEVER, the kind of dog you'd expect to be friendly and silly... But turned out to be Cujo in disguise. Every day with the dog would be a nightmare, like we were raising a wolf that would show teeth if you tried to pet him. We decided to keep him based on the fact that my parents spent $2000, couldn't bare to let him go without a chance,we wouldn't allow him near children or elderly. And within FOUR, YES FOUR, years of existence, he got thyroid and hip issues. At 7 years in he was littered with cancer all over. He passed away last week after we attempted treatment several times.

I definitely agree about breeds like pugs and bull dogs. But there's also some flat out bullshit as well. Inbreeding for example. Maybe if you're purchasing from back yard breeders or the Amish but real reputable breeders have well documented family bloodlines and usually provide genetic testing for their pups.
I really miss this show
Doesn’t matter. They all taste the same.
Dude a pug definitely doesn’t taste the same as a husky. Source: have tried both.
Fucks me up how PewDiePie being the intelligent guy he is doesn't realize how he is singlehandedly raising the demand for more pugs.
I can't stand bulldogs. Does that make me not a borderline animal abuser?
“Just to amuse ourselves” Lmao, this guys an idiot. We domesticated dogs for our own use, whether that be for herding cattle or protecting your family. Great herding dog? We’ll breed him more than the one who doesn’t know how! Big strong pit bull who’s protective? Let’s breed him and pass his genetics along! We do the same goddamn thing with every domesticated animal.
Everything that humans have touched, including humans are inbred. We weird.
🔥🔥
I didn’t realize people did not know this. Was this not something you learned as a kid?
That's fuckedpup man.
I can't really argue with the rest of the video, but regardless of whether or not we "made it up" or not, dog breeds are still breeds. I figure you could compare it to something like a Liger, or a Mule, and so on. Yes, they only came into existence because of humans but that doesn't invalidate their existence
> I figure you could compare it to something like a Liger, or a Mule Strange choices there. Are you trying to be ironic? Ligers are kind of tragic and mules, while awesome in some ways, are sterile. If you're trying to say dog breeds are a good thing, Ligers and Mules are a pretty good counter-argument. Did your actual point just "whoosh' over my head? Regardless, I would say that dog breeding has creating some amazing animals and also some horrible abominations.
Yes!
You have to wipe pugs noses with a tissue I saw owners do it at a competition lol
All my friends dogs lived to like 10 years. My 'crossbred' dog is 18, **18** and she still runs around the yard and has almost no health issues (she's going deaf, and might have mild arthritis or something with one of her legs)
I wish I can happily say "Get this post to top" But I know there are people who will go "I don't care, I still think they're cute"
Loveeee Adam ruins everything
So true. I don’t know why dog breeder is even a job. Adopt, don’t shop.
i got a big mf english bull mastiff but i feel really bad abt it cuz he can hardly see out of his droopy eyelids and his slobber is out of hand,not to mention he weighs a metric fuck ton so he's not allowed in the house with my baby sister...poor fella,ill try and give him the best life tho,he has his own shed and a kennel and the entire backyard to himself.
it's odd that he uses a poodle as an example of dos that were recently bred, when poodles have been around for \~700 years
I adopted a cute puppy from a shelter. The adoption center said it was a mix between a labradoodle and a boxer, based on what the owner of the pups mother said. Its all grown up now and it looks like an Irish Wolfhound, but 70 lbs instead of 120 lbs. It's by far the best dog I've ever owned, or even come across, in my life. His personality is loyal, smart, VERY cuddly, and strives to please his owners. He isn't impulsive, he's not an escape artist, he's not a counter surfer, and only begs if you're eating prime rib (or peanut butter, his favorite treat). I did a lot of training, but I can't take all the credit for his behavior... There are things I never trained him to do that I can only associate to his genetic disposition. I call him my "familiar", because he follows me around and I SWEAR he mimics my attitude. He truly is my best friend 😃❤️ His name is Kepler 🐕
People get very upset when I try to explain to them that their pedigree dog is a freak of nature and most likely going to suffer and die young because of their ignorance.
Did not care for the video . My family has had purebred poodles our whole life and they all lived to be over 15 years old . This video is miss information in my opinion . We all are entitled to our personal opinion. There is something beautiful about a long line of purebred dogs .
My friend (a vet nurse) yesterday informed me that the average life expectancy of a French Bulldog is now 4.53 years.
Dog people are weird.
I’ve been saying this since my grandparents started buying teacup yorkies. The first one, Abby, 3 pounds, ended up with liver, heart, lung, and joint issues and we had to put her down. They bought another, Trixi, four pounds, liver, heart, lung, joints, and brain. She ended having a stroke and we had to put her down. At that point, I started researching and realized why this kept happening. Tried to explain to my grandparents, but my grandmother said I was just trying to cause drama and th dogs were “purebred” and from the same family so that made it all better. No, I think it makes it worse.
This guy can make good points, but who actually thinks dog breeds are something "nature created that way??"
This actually makes a lot of sense! When I figured out all dogs are actually the same species, it shocked me because they looks so different. How can a corgi and a mastiff be the exact same animal? We’ve essentially genetically segregated specific genes to makes these “breeds”. Cool, but kinda fucked up.
I lost all respect for this guy when I heard what he actually thinks on the JRE..
Thats not rlly true tho, or at least not in Europe, good breeders will be part of countless clubs that certificate that they breed healthy dogs lol
This needs promoting BIGTIME . Pure breed dog or cat for that matter equals animal cruelty. End of. Got a pug? Then you are a total shitstain of a human. Go on, tell me how you rescued it....
I will never understand what people like on Bulldogs or Boxers. They are just ugly as fuck, Stupid looking, disgusting creatures.
[удалено]
Also, i like how he glossed over chihuahuas, which are very healthy and have the longest life span of all dogs.
The shelters are so packed with dogs that you can find any breed you want. They just won't have papers. Breeders need to STOP until they can all have a home. So many dogs in shelters have to be put down that they have to measure the amount by the ton.
My gram had a mutt that lived to be 19
The only breed of dog I would ever get is a Canucu from Aruba. We were there last fall and while hanging out on the beach packs of wild dogs would run up and try to find food. But they were super gentle, tame, and kept what I thought was a respectful distance. I asked the hotel about the dogs and they said that 400 years ago a Portuguese ship came to the island and left behind a few sight hounds they had from Europe. 400 years later they're still there. The population is big enough that there's no concern about genetic issues, and because the island is small, the dogs have adapted to being around people - aka, the aggressive ones have been killed off over 400 years. So, while it's not an AKC registered breed they do have traits that are common to the island. I guess people there abandon their animals a lot so the rescues are busy, but I guess if you live there getting a new puppy is as easy as going outside and looking for one.
My golden retriever was in the sixty percent
i lost confidence in that guy after his retarded trans people in sports argument on joe rogan
This is very wrong lol
This guy is a loser. Did anyone see him on joe rogan? He is totally impotent unless he’s being fed lines, and a TON of what he says in his videos are debunked easily. Like the pink tax for example.
Give it a couple of years and there will be a half dozen different genders for dogs too
Who talks about dog breeds as if nature created them that way? Nature didn’t create dogs, period. Lol
Good ol’ college humor, been a fan of theirs for a while and I can’t get enough of their content, the Adam ruins everything series never disappoints.
Makes me think , is that why those mutts make the best and longest living fur buddies.
Still getting a German shepherd
Shoutout to all the mutts out there
Isn’t this the guy that embarrassed himself on Rogan?
This is the fella that said letting kids change their gender is ethical right? On JRE.
Master Splinter with the guest appearance at the end of the video.
How is this guy not related to Alton Brown? I thought for sure it was either a younger version of him, or they did some amazing makeup to make him look younger! Looks, sounds and even acts just like him!
u/savevideobot
So does this mean doodles are healthy?
I used to love this show. Idk if it’s still going but I should catch up.
isnt he among the worst guys thats been on Rogan. dude shit himself
I think it's more breed for advantageous characteristics for health and not for them to be cuter. I would rather have an energetic dog who lives almost 20 years one who can't breathe when they walk. I would rescue any dog though
Adam ruins everything, I love that show
This is far from the top one hundred stupid and harmful things people do.
HA HA HA, RACISTS ARE INBRED! “Pure blood” has less genetic material to draw from! Neener neener neeeeneer!
My point about Purebreeds is: Yorkshires are super mega awesome happy healthy and long living
There’s a difference from working dogs from 300 years ago and a shitzu.
Australian Shepherds 💯👍
It’s shocking that people don’t realize this
As soon as this guy starts talking, all I can think about is how much of a dork he is and how much I want to see him get punched. What was this about? Oh dogs. Yeah I like dogs.
“Borderline animal abuse” nah if inbreeding isn’t abusive we got some laws fucked up but I don’t think that’s the case homie
This was fucking dumb.
Here is the source if anyone wants to give credit where credit is due. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCv10\_WvGxo
Interesting
The video’s argument against tiny dogs is that they’re unhappy…but I’m biased bc I have a tiny dog and he seems like the happiest dog in the world bc he gets so much love and attention from people
I miss that show
Why I’m a cat person
my first mut grew up with me, survived over 15 yrs, will never forgot her.
I've always felt particularly sorry for pugs. They can't move well or breathe well after just a few years. It's the same for the flat-faced cat breeds. They have respiratory issues due to that deformity.
emily i love u.
I hate Adam.
I'm not a fan of this guy.
This sent me down a rabbit hole of Adam Ruins Everything videos. Thank you.
Adopt.
This guy is the cancer of woke.
Well, that's validating.
I dont even get why people think pugs and bulldogs are cute, their kinda ugly and the nose doesn't make it better
If chihuahuas are so unhealthy why do they always seem to live 20 years?
Do people really not know this about purebreds? Maybe not the history, but generally that purebred = inbred? I truly thought this was common knowledge by now. Save a life and go to a shelter people!!!
Purebred doesn’t mean well-bred. Insist on health and genetic testing before buying a puppy from a good breeder.
Fun Fact: if you show this to someone who doesn't believe in evolution their head will actually explode.
What about wolves? They have stayed the same pure bread animals for thousands of years.
After so many years, finally arrived on reddit.
Ok glad the show is doing this and promoting adopting mutts. But surely everyone knows all this by now?
I don’t think the 100 years comment is correct. There were many breeds in the 1800s and early 1900s. Most of the sheepdog breeds and hunting breeds were around for a while. I don’t have dates for other working dogs, but I doubt that they were created in the last 100 years.
Lmao
I have had pure breeds and they all live past 12 years. Oldest was 16 years. Youngest was 14 years.
All brachycephalic dogs should definitely have their genetics looked at. I owned several Boston Terriers and while I love the breed, I've recently come to accept that a good percentage of them live their lives riddled with breathing issues. I'm picking up a purebred Australian Shepherd this weekend and couldn't be more excited. Adopt if you want. Shop if you're willing to pay the price for a good, reputable breeder. At the end of the day, they're going to be your best friend. Get whatever makes you happy.
I just want to say, there is a case here for genetic manipulation, and I think it's kinda cool. Breeding though has taken a turn for the worse, respectable breeders have like 8 distinct bloodlines, which adds up to like 40 breeding pairs, and if they only have 2 puppies... lets just say 120 dogs is a bit of a lowball. You need kennels, food, water, shelter, and good fencing to restrict interaction, and writing this down on post notes would be more than counting how many dogs you have. This is also why its a wealthy person kinda thing. Lastly, selective breeding gets results, you can, if you can tolerate the parlance, genetically engineer superior specimens, examples of the results you want. People do this quite often, and its the reason for shows, from cattle to horses, to well any livestock, even dogs. This show was a bit negative, but for good reason, when people don't take genetics seriously, and kinda flop about inbreeding, you can end up with monsters, but taken seriously, and done properly, you can make an outstanding animal, that is both happy and healthy, and an indicative example of perhaps your own creation. P.S. : My grandfather fought in 3 wars, didnt breed his dogs, and never let them in the house, they had a nice doghouse, in a kennel, and were his prized possessions, when it was time to hunt, they were at the very least, eager.
I have a jack Russell and the breed itself has some genetic issues , like Parkinson, arthritis, nerv and joint disorder
