Hi, I’m Dr. Karyn! Read my introduction to study extra about me and my 5 humorous canine, Poppy, Bailey, Kodah, Ned, and Fred.
Looking on from the relative security of the UK, I’ve been experiencing emotions of shock, bemusement, and disbelief over a number of the latest modifications which have been applied throughout the pond. But quite 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 after we might merely rename issues to our liking? Take canine breeds, for instance. Who decides what to call a breed? Sure, 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 Club breed teams. No extra Sporting, Working, Toy, Herding, and Non-Sporting teams. Particularly that final one. There is one thing mildly insulting a few group of canine which might be too massive to be categorised as toy canine however too ineffectual to be something however cute. I feel we will do higher than categorizing canine 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:
Obviously, I’m not going to rename each single canine breed right here, however I’m going to present you a style of my imaginative and prescient of the canine future with just some stellar examples from every of my thrilling and descriptive new canine teams.
Scary Dopes – Large, intimidating, and tender as marshmallow
These canine are massive, highly effective, and sometimes have an undeserved dangerous popularity. While you don’t wish to take them without any consideration, these scary-looking canine usually tend to lick your face than chunk your hand.
Short’n’Longs – Long backs, brief legs, massive vet payments
These canine could also be brief however they’re massive on character. But be warned – their additional lengthy size places them underneath the orthopedic surgeon’s knife extra typically than we want.

What’s In a Name?
Whether you name them a Pitbull or Cuddle Monster, a Saluki or Demurehound, I’m fairly certain our canine will solely care in the event you neglect to name them for dinner. Fun as this has been, after all we will’t go round simply renaming issues willy-nilly – the place would it not finish?
Anyway, I’m off to feed my Landsharks, Interrogator, and Happy Fetchers, and whereas I’m at it, I could as effectively type out some meals for the Judgy Purrers, too.
Let me know you probably have any concepts for some new and improved canine breeds!
Member of the Non-Sporting group and Hufflepuff.
