Dogs

Dalmatians are prone to kidney stones. It means they can’t eat foods that are high in purine. They have the same diet as a human diagnosed with gout.

In the 60s some guy started working to breed that gene out of them and created to versions of Dalmatians. HUA have the gene that causes stones. LUA do not. He did this by mixing in Pointers.

Modern LUA Dalmatians are 99.999% Dalmatian but breeders and the Dalmatian Club of America are still salty about it and refuse to accept it.

TLDR; Dalmatians LUA breed less prone to life threatening conditions, but Kennel Clubs are mad about it.

wtf.

Cartoon dog after running straight into a mountain painted to look like a road vs. the same dog after using a bellows to reinflate themself.

Omq the bby looks so much happier and healthier! Happy and functional snout is far more cute ♡

This sounds good, but is still dumb, somewhat less incestuous inbreeding.

For love of dog just stop breeding. There are so many unwanted dogs already that need homes.

I'll never understand why people even want pugs. They are not cute, they are ugly abominations. Maybe they were cute before people turned them into this.

What's with the thick white borders on lemmy lately? What's the use of adding these? I know there are people who are too lazy to crop their screenshot but in this case someone took the effort of doing the opposite of cropping the image. Why?

Still sort of grotesque in that there are probably a lot of inbetween generations that suffer. Most ethically sound idea is probably to just euthanize these breeds and end them entirely.

Imagine what people would do if they were allowed to selectively breed humans

What will those clever tall bastards think of next?

No need to do them next: "Altdeutscher Mops" is a thing already. I guess you'd call them "Old German Pugs" in English?
