 I hate doodle breeders. So every day I will post another doodle dog breed until I run out of them. Feel free to ask me why I hate the people that breed doodles any time.

Irish Doodle (Irish Setter /Poodle) hurts my soul. Nothing was added to the animal's temperament, nothing added to their health, you just took a beautiful Irish Setter and made it look exactly like a red golden doodle. Like most poodle mixes, you'd never be able to tell these were half irish setter. Irish Setters aren't all that easy to come by, either. 

When ripping pics online, I really do try to look for 'pet' pictures, ie this was a photo some person took of their pet Irish Doodle. I try NOT to get pictures from breeders or stud services, etc. Just so I can give y'all an idea of what these dogs will actually look like in a normal family home, because breeders are going to be getting there dogs professionally groomed and photographed to look their best. I have the hardest time finding normal pet photos of adult doodles, so much that most of my pics are indeed breeder pics. 

Here though you can see the last pic is a normal 'home' pic. Look at the difference lol

 What breed? 
 In this case it was bassets. 
 The breed.... White? 
 Guess the predominant breed! I'll post results in comments when I remember.

Half points if you guess a breed that's in the genetic make up of this mutt.

 @Zettour got it right, the dog is 1/2 American Pit Bull Terrier





Am. Pit Bull Terriers actually can carry dwarfism, so a lot of dogs that are considered basset/corgi/dachshund mixes could actually be pit bulls with dwarfism, especially since it is much more common. 

While pit bulls have short single coat, when a short coat is mixed with a long coat there's often the result of a wirey type of coat. The result is not unique to American Pit Bull Terriers (just the cattle dog and golden retriever mix would likely result in a similar hair coat).

 The difference between indoctrination and a genuine belief system, is that when it is constructively criticized, indoctrinated people get very defensive and upset. 
 I always give it my 110% 
 "There could be SALMON here" he thought. "I've never been to this creek before. there could be SALMON anywhere." The current felt good against his hairy chest. "I LOVE SALMON" he thought. Sweet Dreams are Made of These reverberated the entire riverbed, making it pulsate even as the salmon nutrients circulated through his weak body and washed away his (merited) fear of not getting his fix. "With a bear for a dad, you can do anything you want" he said to himself, out loud.

 Believe it or not, media made for kids used to also be made for adults because the adults used to read/watch this shit with the kids. It's ok to like some of the kids stuff because it was also made for moms and dads to an extent.

Some shit though is utter garbage, because nowadays parents will plop their kids with a tablet and forget about it.

 I'm trying to get fired. I really am. My bosses are really good at ostracizing people, humiliating them and degrading them in public and getting said person to quit on their own.

I honestly think that has been going on for a while honestly, as people with less experience & less education in my field are being silently promoted to be my superior in my field. I think I'm just too stupid and stubborn to take the hint. 
 I found out I missed out on a $2 pay raise that everyone else got, even literal retards that can't read or write. Then I was told that I get paid more than I'm worth. 

On top of other bullshit I'm considering putting in my 2 weeks. But I doubt I'd find any place I enjoy better.

 Yeah they were pumping that shit out left and right ,and somehow TWD is still going. 
 I think they were trying to hit that vampire hype which peaked with Twilight. Vampires can be much more interesting and complex though. The whole point of zombies is not being sentient.
That being said like you mentioned, TWD is going strong and idk of any ongoing vampire shit. Zombies must be doing something right. 
 Do you ever lean into that and consume zombie content for that reason? 
 No.
I watched my first zombie movie when I was 13 I think. I only recently stopped intrusive thoughts of what I'd do in a sudden zombie apocalypse when I was in a new place. I still have to play Minecraft with the zombies sounds edited to be a different sound. Whenever I start really watching zombie shit again, the nightmares start coming back.

2010ish era was terrible because everything was zombies  Zombie games, zombie books, zombie movies. They were even making zombie romances and zombie heart throbs. I'm glad we're largely over the obsession, for now 
 that's a great username you have there 
 Thank you I appreciate it.

Your name is quite good as well. 
 Zombie stormtrooper outbreak on a Star destroyer , and the virus is sentient I think . I've heard... 
 It sounds like a very interesting premise. However I am genuinely terrified and disturbed by zombies so I'll be giving that a pass. 
 I'm thinking people in those countries have to work longer to afford to feed their family, so I guess not wrong? 
 I'm still trying to figure what costume to wear for a party. I'm thinking of glowing body paint a... 
 Maybe they have a glow in the dark green suit! Sometimes that glow in the dark shit sucks though. I know they have glow in the dark paint but IDK how bright it glows. I love the idea though. 
 What's on your spooky month to-do?
I want to watch a few 'scary' movies. Last year it was night of the lepus. I'm thinking this year bunnicula. 
I was thinking of reading some genuinely scary novels though. Maybe Lovecraft. 
 It looks so proud!
Be proud little guy. You'll grow big and strong and fuck people up 
 im actually kind of surprised it's so bad. Most tiktok videos I see have subtitles like this, that actually move really fast. And I feel like people spend a lot of time texting each other. You'd think their reading and writing would at least be decent if they're gonna understand one another. I'd get not knowing math and science, but writing? Really? 
 On today's list of Oh God Why Does This Exist

Bully cats!

'Bambinos' is NOT a slur for italians (maybe it is idk), it is a mix of a Sphynx cat which is a breed of hairless cat, and a Munchkin which is an unrecognized breed of cat where 1/2 of offspring have dwarfism. Bambinos are therefore hairless dwarf cats. 

BUT THEN there is King Racks, a Bambino with excessive wrinkles and a wide stance that you may recognize in Exotic Bullies. This kind of Bambino has been called Bullbino, unsure if that will stick and be the official title.

 I played games with a self titled 'girl gamer' before. It was fucking awful. Not only did they actually suck at the fucking game, but they blamed literally everything and everyone else. Wouldn't listen to any plan of attack. Beat down every other person they possibly could. Then cried sexism when they got called out for being needlessly cruel. Not even in a humorous way like tyler1. She'd actually try to ruin you any way she could.
I doubt they have any self-awareness.

 oh hey friend o/

haven't seen you in a while. i pray all is well <3 :hammer_corgi: 
 I have been busy is all. When I get busy, usually internet is the first thing I put to the side.

Hope everything is well with you, too

 Wish I had wood floors in living room instead of carpet. Fucking stain sponge bullshit. 
 There is a small 2x2in square of my carpet that my dog just licks and rubs his head on incessantly. I am terrified of the secrets that lie in the fibers of that patch of carpet. 
 It's official. I can't play MMOs on Fridays/Saturdays because that's when the actual adults get on, and I get steamrolled.

 I used to read a lot when I was younger but I have such a short attention span for books now days... 
 Maybe try starting small with short stories. Maybe even kid's books.

For me it was sherlock holmes - lots of easy to digest and interesting shorts.

Afghan hounds are a really ancient working breed, and as such the breed clubs allow most colors and variations, and colors that aren't accepted were bred out ages ago. But there are some exceptions.

Small white spotting may be permissible, but large areas of white like in pic 1 is highly undesirable. This is the only ACTUAL fault for color in kennel clubs.

Afghan hounds never had merle coloration in their breed - as such, a merle afghan hound is assumed to be a mix.

Dilute, like in pic 2 with the dilute black (blue) coloration, was lost long ago in the breed (hence the old shitty pic). Liver, tan saddle, and white spotting were also lost in these these guys. Although not technically mismarks, if you see it today, it was likely outcrossed somewhere down the line. 

Regardless of color or pattern, these dogs should have a black nose, black eye rims, black lips, and black paw pads. Pic 3 shows a white/cream with a light colored nose. Unsure if pic 3 is simply faded (cell damage, sun exposure, aging) or is actually pink but i'll take it.

Eye color should also be dark, ranging from a dark brown to black. Pic 4 *maaaay* be an amberish color, or maybe just a trick of the lighting. 

Another undesirable outcome are shorthair dogs - while rare, it can happen in purebred afghans and it is unknown why (Pic 5).

 So I get that nature plays a part in dog behavior. However I genuinely do believe nurture plays a fucking huge part. Case in point, the Papillion. 

The Papillion was literally bred for fuck all. They were meant to sit on people's laps and warm their hands.

Check this Papillion doing better than border collies at agility trials

Here is a pappillion jumping 16ft7in into a pool - for the record that would be like a labrador being able to dive about 30ft into water

Were pappillions bred as ratters, herders, or retrievers? No, they were never bred for these and are still not bred for them today. But look at them excel at these sports, outcompeting dogs that have been bred for centuries to do this shit.

 See that's the issue. How do you get them to fire you for no cause?

We have a point system. Any mistake you make, any day you call out or ask off, any time you take, if you're not early, if you accrue overtime, any 'occurrence' is a point. You get 3 points in 6 months, and you're eligible to be fired. I think I have like 3 or 4 points now, for mixing up names and calling out sick.
