I actually prefer the originals, I think it's awful we inbreed defects into dogs because people think it looks cute.
[@1078962,AntisocialTroll] Agreed. There needs to be a collective effort to breed them into healthier forms. Though I know it's not possible for some of them. But those that can be changed, they all may be stuck with their problems now, but we can make it better for the future of the breeds.

Very interesting! But why do humans do this? I have read that pugs suffer from the modifications to their faces, short sinuses.
[@1125727,FlowersNButterflies] To make them look visually appealing. Often short-sighted with no regard for the dog's health.

Very sad. I read german shepherds have hip dysplasia, great danes only live short lives, have heart attacks, cocker spaniels go blind. All to appease the weird human ego. [@1193712,OnceAgainCarver]

That weenie dog with the little helmet lol
[@691329,Talesfromthedarkside] Made into a sort of mascot during the Great War, perhaps? But it shows how much better their mobility was when they had longer legs and less stretched out bodies.
