I do not want to offend:
There is a need for every species to constantly evolve for many reasons that I will not go into here. Most breeds today have these health problems _BECAUSE_ the gene pool is too small. Without outcrossing and bringing in new genes, a breeding of a line controlled by humans is assurred doom.
I did not give my opinion lightly: Go look up the Bernese Mountain dog-
That beautiful dog- is doomed to extinction soon, if some breeders don't get smart and bring in _NEW_ genes to the pool. New genes do not mean from the same breed!
True many dogs were bred for specific purposes, and many of us still use them for those purposes. That does not mean that we through ignorance should create the end of a particular breed of dog.
One day, the lady may be the salvation of the yorkshire breed.
Seek for understanding and tolerance for the love of the earth and its creatures, please.
