this has been an eye opening documentary about the misuse of dogs
it talks about the British Kennel Club and the inbreeding health problems of the dogs
inbreeding makes dogs that conform more to the breed standard but health problems are not really taken into account
most common issues include hip, elbow problems, cancer (usually bone or brain tumor), heart, breathing problems, shorter life span etc.
I personally like dogs and have thought about getting a pure bred dog or two, maybe starting a breeding business but after seeing this I have doubts…
I guess working dogs and mixed dogs, those that aren’t bread for beauty, are much healthier and should be a choice when getting a dog
as one person said in a movie, if you punch a dog in the head with a stick and the dog develops head problems you’d probably get arrested or something but if you breed a good looking dog with visible genetic health problems and pass on those genes that replicate the problems to the puppies you are not held responsible
think about it…
