Pooches

Hey, there! In this post, I'll talk about pooches. First of all, I'll declare that they're the type of dog I like the most and, honestly, the type I most know about, since both my dogs are pooches. "Pooch" can be another word for "dog", but it's normally used to refer to the so-called "stray dogs", but that's not a very good term, so to define better what type of pooch I'm talking about I'm gonna use "a dog that does not have a pedigree or a defined breed". Got it? Yes? Good! No? Then comment your question and I'll try to eliminate it! Okay, now that it's all clear, let's continue. Now, I'm gonna say some of the reasons I really LOVE pooches: the first is that they're extremely resistant to sickness. But before I explain why I think that, I'll remember everyone: every dog is different, even though a certain group of dogs has certain resemblances (I think that's the word), there's always an exception. So let me explain why I think pooches are the most resistant dogs: I have a bitch (hey! Not what you're thinking! The other type!) that, when she was a puppy, got a serious disease of witch the name and all the exact symptoms I can't remember right now, but the thing is: she could have died, but, instead, she lost most of her teeth, and the few that remained are totally yellow, but the bright side is: she survived! And she's not a super sick dog that never get out of bed because she can't. On the contrary! She's super healthy (or at least she makes a real good impression of it), and if she spends a lot of time lied down, the only reason for that is her extreme laziness. The thing is, it isn't scientifically proved that pooches are more resistant than other dogs, but I have an hypothesis that says they are, and I base it in the fact that most pooches live in the streets (I said most, not all), so they have to adapt to diseases. But maybe I'm totally wrong, because I'm not a scientist (2017 UPDATE: Though I am still not sure if my hypothesis is correct, a most significant reason for why pooches are normally more resistant to certain illnesses than breaded dogs is that, as I explained a bit superficially in my post about 'puppy mills', normally when breeding dogs there is little concern for their "genetic quality". That is, breaded dogs, in account of having supposedly "pure genes" of their breed, are not genetically diverse, and, because of that, are more inclined to have certain weaknesses or diseases characteristic to their breed, whilst pooches are very genetically diverse, in account to being "mixed" and not "purebred", and, as a result, are less susceptible to weaknesses and diseases. This might sound a bit confusing, and to be honest I have to do more research on the subject, so I might write a brand new post about it after I have researched a bit more into it). Now, the second reason I like pooches the most is that you can't sell them! What I mean is, if you have a pooch and she has a puppy, you're forbidden to sell that puppy, so if you don't want to keep all the puppies (which is normally the case) then your only option is to donate it. As everyone knows, I'm against selling dogs, so I think that's awesome (repeating, I'm just saying my own opinion, if anyone has a different opinion feel free to say, because I don't have any problem with it, as long as you have a good argument). The last reason I like pooches is only the fact that, as I said before, my two dogs are a mixture of different breeds, so I am naturally inclined to prefer pooches. Okay, so I said my position in relation to pooches, if anyone has any doubts about the subject please comment and I'll see what I can do about them (the doubts).

I'm not sure if all the dogs in these pictures are pooches (the ones with no defined breed), so if you figure out any of them isn't, please say.
