Why? Why MUST we have a certain rare breed? How does this benefit us?
|
It doesn't rise to the level of a "must," but it certainly benefits humans to have particular breeds of dogs. Mine are border collies, which breed has a long and distinguished history of being a tireless sheepherder. Bloodhounds benefit us by being able to track down everything from escaped criminals to lost children. German shepherds benefit us by working as drug detection dogs and police dogs. The list goes on and on.

How is this rare breed of dog any better than the mutt that was put down 5 minutes ago?

It isn't, necessarily, but of course that also ignores the fact that rare breeds of dogs are put down in shelters right along with mixes.

Dogs are dogs. We are way to fixated on physical appearance, whether it with animals or other people. It is so petty.

You don't seem to be aware that many of the differences between dog breeds aren't based on looks but on working ability.
