OXBALLS DOT COM posted:To be fair, we humans did this to ourselves first Yeah we went from baboon-looking motherfuckers to having a tiny, dainty child-like face, at least by primate standards. However it wouldn't be a fair comparison unless we humans didn't evolve that way naturally but some superintelligent beings thought we should look a certain way and kept on breeding past what nature would do until we had gigantic eyes and a tiny narrow anime nose that was impossible to breathe through. Pugs, Boston Terriers, German Shepherds, etc. all can have healthy bodies if bred right...aka not AKC style. The dogs can't breathe and Pugs can even have their eyes fall out of their sockets.  They really need to reform some of the breed standards for the welfare of the poor dogs. Like I love me some squishy faced bulldogish breeds but it's not worth sentencing them to a lifetime of pain and suffering.Here's an example of a French Bulldog with a standard nose (aka high chance of breathing issues) and a healthier, longer nosed version bred by a kennel who cares about that sort of thing.

vandalism posted:dog shows own mane go to one and tell me they dont Dogs are cool. Seeing all the different breeds of dogs is cool. Dog shows that judge dogs for their looks rather than function inevitably end up selecting dogs with more and more extreme breed characteristics, until the dog show-ers are breeding hosed up mutants that can't even live a healthy life, much less do whatever the breed was originally bred to do. Dog shows suck. edit: beaten to this post like a pug with too long of a snout by a million other posters

Somehow he is still alive even though he is like 14 now I hope reincarnation is real and that pug was really bad in a former life, because otherwise it lived 14 years in agony for no good reason at all.

I don't understand why anyone would try to make a dog without a snout. That's like the second best part of a dog! (the best part is the whole dog, which is greater than just parts of a dog summed together)

My aunt's pug sneezed its eye out of its socket one day, lol That thing was hosed up. Now she and her husband breed short-lived and ill-tempered cocker spaniels.

poverty goat posted:akc ruins the breeding of good working/hunting dogs by encouraging breeders to breed for aesthetic traits that have nothing to do with why the dogs and breeds exist, with the exception of useless toy breeds. if you don't hunt rabbits you shouldn't be breeding beagles because you can't possibly evaluate which ones are the best and strongest Exactly. They shouldn't have pitbull shows if they don't have a child eating competition

I can understand, in principle anyway, wanting to breed for aesthetic traits to make the dog cuter, but all of the traits breeders seem to like just make the dog uglier and weird looking. Modern-day pugs are monstrosities, german shepherds look better without sloped backs, and that bulldog with the longer snout is cuter than the one with the "proper" snout. What is going on with these people.

vandalism posted:The whippet Whiskey was favored to win the whole thing, but his sister beat him in the breed ring so he never made it on tv. The sporting group judge bred 2 of the best of breed winners in that group so they could not show in the group. Also, Bean's grandpa was bred by the sporting group judge. The woman handling the havanese is the wife of the guy won handled last year's best in show winner. Goodness. It's like a small town kiddie pageant.
