I’ve noticed this with purebred enthusiasts. They can get borderline yikes with how they see things.

I have two shiba inu who I love dearly, but I’ve had so many people make comments that are so hung up on the breed that they fail to see the dog. Both of them have completely unique personalities and temperaments.

I’ve even had people comment that it’s “too bad” the one is cream colored, which is not an “accepted” coat color by whatever society blah blah blah. Like either pet my dogs or get the fuck out my face.
