Study vet science and you'll learn about the numerous health issues that virtually all pedigree dogs and cats are prone to. Including cross breeds. Things like dobermans, with von willebrands disease, the countless breeds prone to hip dysplasia, countless joint problems, cardiac issues, respiratory distress (particularly your 'squashed face' breeds like the bulldog, pug etc). Its simply not on, if the people sincerely loved the dogs, do you honestly think they would be doing this to them? They're irresponsible, stuck up and self centered, and only give a damn about themselves, their status as a dog breeder and winning shows. Some may seem to be nice and caring for their animals, but honestly, if they breed animals like these? I never want to meet them, and I never want to see them, cause I simply wouldn't know if I'd be able to control myself.
I mean for bloody sake, look at the German Shepherds! you look around here, and they've all got lowered hocks and don't walk normally. A dog is designed to walk upright, its the way the joints were designed and they're only designed to take weight and stressors in that particular way. Sure, animals can re-model their bones to a degree to cope a bit more with modified stressors, but bloody hell, not that much! And that moron in the video that said the show dogs had the correct conformation? If I ever saw tat man... "These dogs are more like the breed standard!?" My ****! Change the breed standard you morons, the dogs can barely walk, let alone work. The dogs should be speyed/neutered and never bred, if they want dogs with correct conformation, use the working lines as stud animals. Even those have faults, but nothing comparable to those show animals.
Its like with horses, how many horses do you see with lameness due to poor conformation which is purposefuly bred into them, to look showy? The movements they are made to perform, which are unnatural and stress their musculoskeletal system in ways its not supposed to?
I'm gonna go before I continue... I think you get my point of view.
