I don't think you have to crossbreed to get desired traits. In the case with the bostons, if they decide to change the standard to the longer muzzle they could just breed the bostons that have longer muzzles and eventually you'd change the appearance. |
I use that exact same argument when show breeders insist that they are bettering the breed.
I'm sure many do want to better the breed, but when you are breeding for one particular trait withut considering the health of the dog, it is just not right.
You have to blame the idiots who set the stndards, and the judges who choose those dogs over the others.
