Depends entirely on amount of land, lifestyle, and type of dog

Dogs size matters so much

It really depends on land area. If you own a farm, it’s def over 5. An apartment? Prob 3 would be MAX if it’s a big apartment. Average working family, 3 is probably the max

0, I think it’s unethical that just because we domesticated ourselves that we continue domesticating and using dogs for human benefit when they’d be thriving much more if they weren’t bred for aesthetic rather than letting natural selection take place. I think there’s a way to fix the problem without further domesticating them but it’ll take a few generations who really want to make a difference

I respect your right to have that opinion, but I completely disagree. I think the relationship between dogs and people is largely (not entirely) symbiotic. I agree that breeding for aesthetics is inhuman and has fucked up some breeds, but I don’t think we can (or should) undomesticate dogs.

Out of curiosity, do you think we should undomesticate other domestic animals? Like horses or cats?
