This animal lover certainly did not expect that by revealing on the web the photos of his puppies born of a cross between a German shepherd and a golden
retriever. If many Internet users have cracked in front of these adorable hair balls, not all of them are of the same opinion. And some have castigated this “So-called” breed who would be contrary to ethics, as the British newspaper told Mirror.
“Race? He’s a dog. Stop raising dogs voluntarily and calling them races. Adopting, don’t buy; anyone who pupils dogs like that should be ashamed.”said an anonymous. He was expressed in commentary on the publication of the account @lifewithgoldenshephas which is devoted to the adventures of Bear and Nala, two puppies golden shepherds. This is a crossing which appeared a few years ago between a German shepherd and a Golden Retriever.
Crossing between a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd, the Golden Shepherd does not have only friends
Golden Shepherds are more and more
popular In Anglo-Saxon countries and in particular in the United States. And that does not only make people happy as it is possible to see. “It is not a race (…). Ethical breeders do not
bastards.”dropped a surfer. Quickly joined by another: “There is absolutely nothing to love your puppies, but do not promote breeding practices
opposite to ethics.”
Some point out that many crossed dogs are available to adoption in refuges. For them, this kind of publication only encourages unscrupulous breeders to exploit animals even more. In fact, the debate rages around the publication (see the video below) which quickly became viral by combining more than 2.4 million views And more than 90,000 “I like” mentions. Indeed, many fell in love with these hair balls which have everything ideal companion. “Loyal as a German shepherd, affectionate like a Golden Retriever”also summarized the owner of Bear and Nala.
The Golden Shepherd has everything of the perfect combination
He does not hesitate to highlight this “race” which, for him, is “a perfect combination loyalty, alert, protection and sweetness. “ And obviously, he is not the first to be convinced by this original crossing. Besides, among the comments, some admit without embarrassment that they were won over by the Golden Shepherd. “I have the impression that mine, which I adopted at 9 months, has the overflowing energy of a shepherd, the intelligence of a Golden and the courage.”, told a surfer about her faithful companion.
If the Golden Shepherd makes many masters happy, it is in fact only a crossing. Indeed, the
reconnaissance of a race by the international cynological federation is a long and complex process. The characteristics must be stabilized over several generations. The FCI is responsible for establishing the standards that will make it possible to differentiate dogs belonging to this breed. The very first to have been recognized is the English Bulldog. And lately, new breeds of dogs have been added such as the Valencian ratier or the continental bulldog for example.
