Good reputable breeding is suppossed to take the best of the best of that breed to make healthy pups. The problem is there are very few reputable breeders and more bad breeders and puppy mills so we have more unhealthy dogs. It is actually very rare that a dog will peafully pass on their own. When a dog starts getting in pain and suffering it is best to be kind and put them to sleep and not continue to let them suffer. Most breeds that have terrible health issues even when bred perfectly it’s due to the standards like to have a German Shepard that is show winning normally has a terrible time walking because of what the show standard has done to the breed. Sadly show standards are not often what is best for the dog. People have also bred to make these terrible changes in the bred. Smaller dogs have a much longer life span then giant breeds and that is even if they are bred perfectly.
