Any Ideas About His Age/breed

Should we let only the fit breed? Why is this a bad thing?

We’re not on the verge of extinction. There is no need or purpose for greater overall fitness. It might be nice to create such a thing, but since it is not the immediate concern for our species, there is no point in sacrificing things like the ability to reproduce in order to make it happen.Also, eugenics tends to be based on incredibly shitty science as a result of being supported by people who have scientifically narrow, uninformed, and quite frankly unimaginative ideas of what “better” means in regards to human beings. The idea of eugenics is difficult to trust as a result of this inevitable complication that accompanies it.

Do dogs relate to dogs of their own breed than others?

You must have the wrong definition of the word species. In this situation, I assume you mean breed. Dogs are all canines they are all of the same species. They however have different breeds, but genetically they can all inter-breed therefore they are the same species. A great game in a Chihuahua can reproduce. You can artificially inseminate any two dogs (wise to have the female be the larger breed).For dogs, age & size seems to play a role in recognition and with whom they like to play and interact. However very many small dogs have large dog companions and vice versa. I have a three legged Yorkie-poo that weighs 4 pounds, my group of dogs includes blue heelers, German shepherds, border collies and cairn terriers, all of them accept him and play with him, he doesn't like being stepped on and goes to his own area or comes to me if the bigger dogs get to playing too rough. I have long said that most dogs aren't sure that pugs are dogs… but pugs fit in the dog world just fine. All dogs move at their own pace when it comes to new dogs, some never accept other pets. Just like we people get along with some people well and others, not so much.

Is it a good idea to adopt a street dog as a pet? If so then what all should I consider before getting one?

Street dogs are damn smart + Zero maintenance!I have 8 street dogs, you can play with them (don't expect to play like golden retriever), no need to worry about food you can feed what you eat!It's OK if you don't spend time with them but freedom is must for them, it's in their genetics to roam freely!One of my dog opening the gate like a pro and going for a walk!Ticks are very common and dangerous, ₹400 for anti-ticks drops(for one time,for one dog)! Every time you see Ticks you should apply.Vaccination should be done when it's a puppy ! Don't force them to get it done after they are grown up definitely they will bite (it's their reaction to external force they don't do it on purpose, again it's in their genetics).They don't share food with each other so its little difficult to maintain multiple dogs.Street dog is for you,If youAre Ready to give 100% freedom for the dog!Are Ready to spend money on anti-tics medicines frequently!Don't force them for any reason !Pros:Zero maintenanceHigh resistance for diseaseZero drama compared to golden retrieversEdit 1 : Recent eventMy golden retriever : Wait Mr, Cuddle me for two minutes and goMe : only two minutes right?Him : Yeah! Paw promiseMe : Alright bud :)After 2 hours….Him : I think you need a break, go get some ice cream.Him : Wait!!! Too much sugar is not at all good for you lazy fellow, I'll eat your ice creamMe : You are the best dog ever! :/

What is wrong with the concept of Eugenics in human breeding? We practice it quite often with other animals.

We practiced eugenics in the USA before WWII. On its face it seems like a perfectly reasonable idea: we selectively repeat positive traits in humans and selectively reduce negative traits in humans.Eugenics - WikipediaBut “breeding” these good traits into humans and breeding out the bad takes a long, long, long time. And that only works if you can control the breeding partners. Controlling breeding partners is impossible to do in a free society.So how did we do it back before WWII?Basically, anyone we deemed “unfit” for breeding we sterilized. This included people with mental disabilities, physical disabilities, epilepsy, criminal history, or, sometimes being from a different country. Not all were sterilized. Some were just denied the opportunity to breed. But by the 1960s the US had sterilized 60,000 people.Eugenics in the United States - WikipediaBut we, this wonderful United States of America, did not just stop at selective breeding or sterilization. We also entertained the idea of, and some doctor’s practiced, euthanasia. That’s correct. We killed people to improve the quality of the people in our society.If you aren’t asking, WTF? then there is something wrong with you and you may need to go before the board of judges to determine your fitness for breeding in our society.Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, wants the population to be healthier and stronger. But the real problem with eugenics is that, while the people who first suggested it MAY have been interested in improving the health of the population, the movement was quickly adopted by groups that wanted to weed out undesirables, including those of different faiths and races.In fact, during the Nuremberg trials some of the Nazi’s pointed to the eugenics programs in the USA and other allied nations as a defense for what they did to the Jews.So it comes down to this issue, while we all want to be stronger and more “fit,” who gets to decide what makes a person “fit?” And who gets to decide what happens to those deemed “unfit?”

At what age can I bring a puppy home?

The ideal time depends on the breeder and the new owner and the future purpose of the dog.A puppy physically needs it’s mother until at least 5–6 weeks old to be fully weaned and able to regulate it’s own temperature, etc.6 weeks is about the time that the crucial socialization window opens, and it stays open until about 12 weeks, and half open until about 16 weeks. During that time, the puppy needs to learn “how to dog” as well as how to interact with humans, what things are and are not “scary” in the world, etc.Pups that leave their dam at 6 or 7 weeks and go into a typical pet home generally end up unable to properly interact with other dogs - they missed that vital interaction with mom and litter. But working-dog pups going to experienced trainers with a kennel or house full of well-trained adult dogs generally do just fine leaving the litter at 6 or 7 weeks.On the flip side, if the pup is in a large litter with any but the most dedicated breeder, saying beyond about 10 weeks means a dog that can dog but that may never properly bond with humans and may perceive much of the world as terrifying when it is separated from its littermates. The best breeders will do things like have an “upstairs puppy” and a “downstairs puppy” if they are keeping multiples from a litter and will arrange socialization with the pups individually every day. If the breeder can’t or won’t do that… then waiting too long means getting a pup that doesn’t know how to face the world, and particularly doesn’t know how to face the world without it’s mum and litter beside it for the rest of it’s life.So… for a pet home, anytime between 8 and 10 weeks is the ideal time to get a puppy. For a working dog purchaser, a little earlier can be OK. It is rarely a good idea to get a pup that has experienced nothing but life with mum & litter past about 10 weeks.
