The average eighteen-month-old autistic child who is exposed to 40 hours of ABA per week will be expected to surpass the severe
threshold of the PTSD criteria within six weeks, given 1.5% lifetime exposure. The average three-year-old autistic child who is exposed to twenty hours of ABA per week will be expected to surpass the severe threshold of the PTSD criteria within five months of ABA exposure. The average five-year-old autistic child who is exposed to ten hours of ABA per week will be expected to surpass the severe threshold of the PTSD criteria before their seventh birthday.
from kupferstein, 2018, "evidence of increased ptsd symptoms in autistics exposed to applied behavior analysis"
like, i knew this, but actually looking at someone having done The Math about it is staggering.

The vibe today is trying to take a shit in a bathroom at a trailhead while also keeping an eye on your dog

Along the way home from visiting losech I stopped at the Cleveland Public Library, which had this very cool exhibit, an underground tunnel to a second building of the library, AND most crucially the reason for the stop there; three copies of Primitive Breeds, Perfect Dogs. Someday ill get my own physical copy of it, but for now I have a digital copy of it that I made by. Sitting photographing every page for like two hours. I asked the author before even taking this trip if he was okay with that, as there are no more copies being made ever, and he gave me his direct and explicit permission.
Also there were SEVERAL other cool books there, I could spend months in this library reading. Why is it in Cleveland of all places.

Hello,
A while ago I found a video online featuring a coydog breeding project using small spitz breeds (I think it was either a klee kai or pomeranian or some kind of german spitz) and I was wondering; do you know anything about that project? Are there any other coydog breeders you know of? Do any of them health test and select for temperament the way I've seen some responsible wolfdog breeders (including you) do?
Coydog breeders out there currently seem to be pretty firmly in the "exotics breeder" category for husbandry and breeding practices, if it's not just a one-off oops between a pet coyote and a dog. So no, there's not really any testing, maybe an Embark, parents being enclosure animals, etc.
It sounds like you're talking about either Mark Klemperer's "Mini North American Indian Dog" line of coydogs with Mini American Esk*mo Dog in the mix, or the guy in Ohio who's name escapes me who's a large scale mill of dozens of different breeds and species and who's been publicly called out for abhorrent husbandry and is working on a coydog program with pomsky mixes.
I'd say temperament wise Mark's got something good going on, he's selected hard for sweet and human social for a few generations in the mid content range, they do run very SSA if left intact (especially the females) and are big escape artists, but again, no testing of any sort and a pretty 80's approach to things.
I know people who have tentative litter plans in the works and a much more modern breeding and husbandry approach, but any of those ideas are still years out, lol.

I bet anon is an outdoor cat owner who thinks "cats need to run free and be untethered!" too and buys a new cat every year bc they keep getting eaten by wildlife, run over, poisoned or stolen but still thinks this is better than leash training
Probably 😭🤣
