To use another example, I personally doubt there is any way to breed a healthy hairless dog. I happen to think these dogs are beautiful in a weird way, but I also think that whatever blocks the hair growth is the same thing that causes bad teeth, bones and eyes. Actually, for hairless dogs, I'm not sure these dogs should be bred at all. I think there our standards for how much suffering we're willing to let the average dog endure have changed over the past one hundred years.
I also don't know how to feel about the extremely large breeds that only live 8 years. Is it fair to breed a dog you know will have an exceptionally short life?
