While I am sympathetic to the idea of dog breeders being custodians of native breeds, particularly in countries that were or are oppressed by colonialism, I don't really understand why the concept of "purity" is accepted, as it is just part of the colonial machine. The thing about dogs is, there is no such thing as purebred. There never has been and there never will be. Dogs have always been types, and those types should certainly be carried on, but the obsession with purity is only impeding that goal. There is no real need to have a distinction between Irish Terrier, Kerry Blue Terrier and Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier, for example. They are all extremely similar Irish terriers with slight differences. Their sustainability is far less guaranteed as three discrete breeds with closed studbooks than a general type of Irish terrier with some regional differences.

A whole THIRTEEN weeks old!
