Collapsed trachea is a common problem in little dogs but it's said if they have one that they should not be bred. For small breeds they reccomend a harness over a collar because of many small breeds being prone to this condition. I'm not sure if it can also come from bad breeding but my guess is yes it could. Maybe, someone else can add more about the breeding end and whether it's also a cause of a collapsed trachea.
