| Is the kennel club really making yorkies better or worse? While watching a program called pedigree dogs exposed on youtube it really highlighted how much certain breeds have changed due to the kennel club and show standards such as bulldogs and pugs with squashed faces,Im worried about yorkshire terriers as there seems to be quite a few yorkshire terrier that have heart murmur all have the same stud as father am i worrying over nothing. |

YT 1000 Club Member | Interesting...I'm an owner of a bulldog and must say that the breed description is having an effect on the breeds well being. Imo. I love my bully to death but I can't see myself purchasing another in the future due to the potential health risks that go along with that particular breeds correct structure guidelines given by the AKC. |

| I am no expert but it always makes me nervous to know that several purebred breeders believe in inbreeding to get the perfect look they are in search of.

| I think it all comes back to good breeding if your a good reputable breeder then your not going to continue to breed a male who keeps having puppies with health issues. There are a lot of people out there who just put two dogs together and don't care about there health.
