I can remember watching a program on PBS about just how far away from the original breed the "modern" bulldogs are, and I for one find the breed appalling-
just an example of humans desire for extremes to show off, for their egos & for profits, without regard for the health and life quality of the dogs. So I'm totally
with you, Crowfingers. "Teacup poodles" are another aberration we could do without: my sister had one & it was prone to having her hips dislocate, causing
excruciating pain & disability. If you want a dog the size of a rat, get a rat...don't make a dog that suffers for your abysmal desires. Why isn't what nature does
ever enough for some people?
In a "perfect world" we could depend upon breeders to have common sense & to know when to stop...but alas, it's not a perfect world.
