tkhunny · Answer

Idiotic mankind has decided that some features are required in the breed and foolish mankind has forced the breed in an unnatural direction.

Look at Pug respiratory systems for one of the worst examples.
Various hounds' (blood hound, basset hound) eyes are also pretty pathetic.

Just my opinion.

Are you serious?  Did you read what I wrote?  I used the word "unnatural".  I utterly exposed the LACK of diversity.  Think about it again.

Unwillingness to think about it is not helpful.

INBREEDING!!!  Congratulations.

Come on!  You have to think about these...

"same father and mother" - How is that hybridization?
"same variety" - How is that hybridization?
Gene Splicing - Is a GMO a hybrid?
"different breeds" - Finally!  A hybridization?

Seriously, just stop and think for a second instead of hoping the answer will drop out of the sky.
