Fris ๐Ÿ’› Turning 12 this year, and his face is still as dark as ever ๐Ÿ˜

A picture taken after a 4-hour hike ~ the first thing he did when he got home was bring a toy. ๐Ÿ˜œ

I canโ€™t help but find it so special that I recognise these same characteristics in his mom, and that the owners of his siblings recognise them in their own dogs ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป I love these family connections and similarities.

He resembles his mother in many ways, but most of all in how seamlessly he fits into his ownerโ€™s life through all its chapters. Definitely a special soul ~ so loved and appreciated. ๐Ÿฉท

Itโ€™s not All Black & White: The Hidden Bias in Dog Breeding

๐๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ.
A lot can be lost when appearance becomes the goal - working ability, structure, sound temperament, health.

๐˜ˆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ญ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ช๐˜ง ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜จ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ.

But thereโ€™s another side to this story. One we speak of far less.

As awareness around the pitfalls of colour breeding grows, so too does a quiet kind of prejudice - ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ž ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ฌ, ๐›๐ฎ๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐š๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ ๐š๐ญ ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐œ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ.

But hereโ€™s the truth: ๐›๐ข๐š๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐š๐ง๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐›๐ข๐š๐ฌ.

When we overlook a dog because of how they look, we are doing exactly what we condemn.
We stop seeing ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ.

If those answers are yes - ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ž๐ฌ ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ?

We must hold two truths at once: ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐›๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ... ๐š๐ง๐ ๐›๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š๐ ๐š๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐š๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ž๐.
Because excellence isnโ€™t found in one shade.

Look closer. Look deeper.
Donโ€™t let your eyes make decisions your heart and mind should be responsible for.
