I know, some pug-type dogs can hardly breathe it seems

That's before we even look at the less extreme breeding which we've known for years can be responsible for genetic defects e.g Alsations and their weakened hind legs, golden retrievers and cancer more likely to develop at a young age.... Boxers are prone to epilepsy and a few other things that slip my mind at the moment. I hate the selfishness of it all

Nothern Inuits haven't been around long enough for any thorough research to be done. I know they're bred to have strong back legs, despite having Alsation ancestors, and a calmer temperament than a Malamute. My Kya defies this though!
Sorry for threadjack!
