Is training dogs as pets wrong? Should they only be kept for hunting, farming or as food?

It seems cruel to break their natural instincts and remove their sexual characteristics.Is training dogs as pets wrong? Should they only be kept for hunting, farming or as food?
some breeds were bred for hunting, some were not, it's the way it is and has been. Afterall who wants to take a yorkie hunting?Is training dogs as pets wrong? Should they only be kept for hunting, farming or as food?
Dogs can be perfectly happy being just a family pet if that's how they were raised.


Removing their ';sexual characteristics'; does far more good than harm.


Quit anthropomorphizing animals, it only makes you look unintelligent.
And what do you suggest we do with the toy/companion breeds? Wouldn't get much meat off those rats!
Leaving them intact in a world where they can not satisfy their sexual instinct as much as they need would be cruel.
no because humans enjoy dogs as pets and dogs enjoy being spoiled. best for both.
well my dog is a hunting dog. we let him go outside and sniff around while on a lead...we really dont want him to run away. but there are some kinds of dogs that aren't placed in any of those catagories. they are there for people to train to be the best dog.
lol ';as food'; ?
Food? Thats mental, mate. Dogs make great pets, they are used to it. if you let a domesticated dog live in the wild, it's not likely to survive.
Some dogs are bred only as pets. Some dogs should not be bred. If you are used to hunting dogs than you understand that there are good characteristics that should be bred into animals and ones that need to go away. Neutering a pet is never bad (wish we could do that to some people). It saves you and the animal much frustration.





Dogs have been domesticated for hundreds of years. I dont think you can take away their instincts even if you tried. Alot of people make the mistake of thinking that you can treat a dog like a human. They are not and are not happy or healthy under those circumstances. Dogs are pack animals and do best when they understand who is in charge and who is more and less important than them. This does not mean that you can not have a dog as a pet, but it means that you are more responsible for thier emotional and physical well being than a farm dog....

Neutering domestic animals is a kindness. They do not do recreational sex. Dogs enjoy being pets, I think. At least all of them I know seem to have great lives and love the people they are with.
