This is why testing in so very important before breeding. It is possible to get a dog that closely fits the standard without compromising the health if the proper testing is done. With that being said Alot of what is seen in the video you posted is because some breeders want a specific look or trait and they breed for just that specific thing and in doing so can and does cause other issues to come to light. I get tired of hearing cope outs that this is what the public wants, just utter nonsense, the public wants what it sees. So if they see a different color or look they will want it. If more people would stop indiscriminately breeding what they assume the public wants and start breeding for health and more towards whatever standard their breed has then maybe just maybe we wouldn't have so many dogs in shelters or rescues and we could make better progress in eliminating alot more genetic diseases without compromising the health of our dogs.
