    All that breeding has to be a type of cruelty.

    I get liking corgis, but giving the CORGIS a "bloodline"? What kinda fashy cracker shit is this?

      I mean, everything Royal has to do with bloodlines, so it makes sense that if you think certain people should rule by virtue of their bloodline, you might as well extend that to their royal pets. Also, white europeans fucking love doing the bloodline shit with dogs specifically. I have no fucking idea why they bother, but :shrug-outta-hecks:

      It absolutely is cruelty, many dog breeds are bred specifically for deformities that risk the health of the animals.

      The actual reason for keeping track of bloodlines (aside from brainworms) is mainly to reduce inbreeding - not many dogs get to have offspring since most end up as pets or in shelters. But yea if people didn't give a shit about dog breeds in the first place and just let them mix it up, it wouldn't be as big an issue in the first place.
