However, not everyone was pleased with the creator’s choice of words in referring to them as a ‘breed’, with one user writing: “Breed? This is a MUTT. stop purposefully breeding dogs and calling them their own breeds. Adopt don’t shop, anyone breeding dogs like this should be ashamed of themselves.”

The reel’s comment section points to a wider dialogue in the pet community about ethical breeding and the importance of adopting pets versus buying them from breeders.
