This documentry highlights the consequences of inbreeding/selective breeding for certain traits.


BBC iPlayer - Pedigree Dogs Exposed
Although I have not had a chance to look at this as yet.
I am sure I will not be surprised unless they forget to mention that along with pulling the cute genes or the go smaller genes or what ever a breeder does to a dog to make it look great or be more resiliant to something, you take a behaviour gene as well.

All to many say they breed for temperment without a clear understanding that they are already doing so when they change anything in a dogs look.
