Puppies vs. Adult Dogs and Breeders vs. Shelters/Rescues

Dr. Ian Dunbar  |  Thu, 10/31/2019 - 13:08

I am often asked, (actually, “criticized” and “chastised” might be more accurate terms): 1. Why most of my seminars, articles, books and DVDs focus on puppy raising and training rather than adult dog training? and 2. Why I promote (which I don’t) buying pure-bred puppies from breeders instead of adopting adult mixed-breeds from shelters?

 

Litter Longevity Index

Dr. Ian Dunbar  |  Tue, 10/22/2019 - 15:27

Breeding for Longevity

Initially, dogs were domesticated and bred as working dogs, for hunting, herding, draft and protection. Later they were bred for competition in their working abilities, plus conformation, obedience, agility, etc. In the past century or so, many of these dogs were invited into our homes as companion dogs.

 

Eugenics or Dysgenics

Dr. Ian Dunbar  |  Mon, 10/21/2019 - 14:13

Natural Selection is nature's fail-safe method to maintain eugenics (good genes and fine offspring). All dogs are different; individual variation is an inherent characteristic of sexual reproduction. Different dogs fair differently in different situations: those dogs best suited to the immediate environment (the genetically fittest) do well; the less fit do less well; and the unfit usually die.

 

All Puppies Deserve a FIRST Chance — an EDUCATION!

Dr. Ian Dunbar  |  Fri, 08/02/2019 - 13:04

Owners and their new puppies are still getting the short end of the stick. Dog problems are invariably blamed on “irresponsible dog owners” BUT they are simply at a loss for what to do, and, no one is telling them. Consequently, their puppies develop predictable and preventable, relationship-destroying, behavior, temperament and training problems and sadly, many are surrendered to shelters in search of a “second chance”.
