Hello, I’m Dr. Karyn! Read my introduction to be taught extra about me and my 5 humorous canines, Poppy, Bailey, Kodah, Ned, and Fred.
Wanting on from the relative security of the UK, I’ve been experiencing emotions of shock, bemusement, and disbelief over a number of the latest adjustments which were applied throughout the pond. However fairly than give attention to the worrying implications of the liberties being taken – figuratively and actually – by a sure head of state, I’ve chosen to be impressed.
Why ought to we passively sit again and settle for the established order once we might merely rename issues to our liking? Take canine breeds, for instance. Who decides what to call a breed? Certain, there are some actual crackers on the market, just like the Treeing Walker Coonhound or the Nova Scotia Ducktolling Retriever, however I feel that others might do with a little bit of a revamp. And who’s going to cease me?
The very first thing I wish to do is do away with the Kennel Membership breed teams. No extra Sporting, Working, Toy, Herding, and Non-Sporting teams. Notably that final one. There’s something mildly insulting a couple of group of canines which might be too massive to be labeled as toy canines however too ineffectual to be something however cute. I feel we are able to do higher than categorizing canines as ‘non-sporting,’ however maybe I’m only a bit delicate as a result of if I have been a canine, I do know precisely which group I’d be relegated to.
And so, I current my new canine teams:
Clearly, I’m not going to rename each single canine breed right here, however I’m going to offer you a style of my imaginative and prescient of the canine future with only a few stellar examples from every of my thrilling and descriptive new canine teams.

Brief’n’Longs – Lengthy backs, quick legs, massive vet payments
These canines could also be quick however they’re massive on character. However be warned – their further lengthy size places them beneath the orthopedic surgeon’s knife extra typically than we wish.

What’s In a Identify?
Whether or not you name them a Pitbull or Cuddle Monster, a Saluki or Demurehound, I’m fairly certain our canines will solely care in case you overlook to name them for dinner. Enjoyable as this has been, after all we are able to’t go round simply renaming issues willy-nilly – the place would it not finish?
Anyway, I’m off to feed my Landsharks, Interrogator, and Glad Fetchers, and whereas I’m at it, I could as effectively kind out some meals for the Judgy Purrers, too.
Let me know if in case you have any concepts for some new and improved canine breeds!
