Just had a thought all dogs are “descended” from wolves aint it cruel to go from a wolf to a mexican hairless, how much inbreeding must there have been there. Oh and the kennel club and their standards … bastards
Am not sure, but I think dogs split off from wolves a long time ago, but modern dogs are bred until their backs break, their kidneys shut down, they can’t breathe. They have their tails lopped off for no good reason (traditionally to stop them getting caught in coach wheels, but that doesn’t apply anymore). Breeding for specific useful traits is one thing, but breeding for looks when it causes significant inherited defects is cruel.
