Years of Breeding Ruined Popular Dog Breeds

- In this video, we will discuss how years of selective breeding and human influence have drastically changed and damaged some of the most popular dog breeds.
The Pug
The Pug has been selectively bred to feature an extremely flat face and curly tail.
Pugs’ pushed-in face makes them susceptible to breathing difficulties, low oxygen levels, overheating and dental problems.
Pugs’ desirable double-curl tail is actually a genetic defect that results from their spinal deformity. It often causes back pain.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Years of breeding for a prettier head has resulted in too small of a skull in Cavaliers.
This means their skull is too small for their brain. As a result, their brain squeezes through the opening leading to the spinal cord, causing pain and sometimes facial nerve paralysis.
The bull terrier
The Bull Terrier's head have transformed drastically over the years due to serious impaired breeding.
In the past, the bull terrier had a slim torso and well-proportioned head.
But modern bull terriers have an egg-shaped head and thick body. Because of their unnatural head shape, they suffer from dental problems as they have too many teeth in their enlarged jaws. These dogs also picked up mental deficiencies such as a habit of compulsively chasing their tails.
Dachshund
Dachshunds were originally used to hunt rabbits, foxes and other tunneling animals.
Thanks to altered breeding, their back has stretched out and their legs have shrunk to a point where they can hardly maneuver over obstacles a few inches off of the ground.
These changes have made Dachshunds at huge risk of intervertebral disc disease and spinal damage which can lead to paralysis.
English bulldog
Today, Bulldogs’ unnatural proportions make them incapable of mating or giving birth without medical intervention.
These dogs also suffer from overheating and breathing problems because of their pushed-in face.
Boxer
Earlier in their existence, Boxers had pointy ears and long snouts. But today, they have floppy ears, and flatter noses that are more compact.
Their shortened snout is a cause of some serious breathing problems.
Modern Boxers also have more flesh in their mouths so they don't pant as efficiently. This means they overheat more quickly.
Poodles
Originally, the Poodle was considered a water-retriever, meaning they were used to retrieve water-birds and ducks for hunters, mainly because they had a water-resistant coat. Poodles had long, stranded coats that almost resembled braids.
However, years of selective breeding has drastically changed the shape and texture of their fur.
Today’s Poodles suffer from a skin disease called Sebaceous adenitis.
Loss of fur, scaly patches, and itching to the extent of pulling out hair are common problems for many poodles.
German Shepherd
Before evolving to fit modern standards, the German Shepherd was considered to be a medium-sized dog with strong legs, a deep chest and straight back.
Today, the German Shepherd is much heavier, and features a back that slopes drastically, making them prone to hip dysplasia - a condition where the leg bones don’t fit properly into the hip socket.
The Basset Hound
Researchers have determined that the Basset Hound's short legs are a result of an extra copy of a certain gene, which produces growth protein.
Prior to this genetic mutation, the Basset Hounds had smaller ears and a less droopy face.
Unfortunately, these changes have made the breed suspectable to many health problems. Their excessive skin can lead to dermatitis in the skin folds. Their droopy eyes are prone to serious eye problems, and their short legs can cause spinal problems.
The St. Bernard
St. Bernards were originally used to rescue lost travelers buried by snowstorms and avalanches.
today’s St. Bernards have bigger skulls and a more squished-in face and longer fur.
They now suffer from a variety of health issues such as overheating and entropion, a condition in which the eyelid is rolled inward against the eyeball.
The Bearded Collie
Modern Bearded Collies are shorter and much stockier than they used to be. Many Bearded Collies are prone to skin allergies.
The White Terrier
After years of genetic alteration, today’s White Terrier is not nearly as athletic as its ancestors. Their coat has become longer and their legs have been stunted. This has made them very susceptible to luxating patella, a condition in which the knee cap moves out of its natural position.
Chow Chow
It is believed that the Chow Chow dates back to 206 BC of the ancient China because of the similarities found in Chinese potteries.
However, today’s Chow Chows developed a drastically dense coat and excessive skin, which results in reduced peripheral vision, and sometimes, skin allergies and coat issues
Salukis
Salukis originated in the Middle-East.
Archeologists have even uncovered mummified Salukis in ancient Egyptian tombs. The Saluki is now suspectable to heart defects and certain eye problems. - Навчання та стиль

Is it possible and is anyone looking into trying to fix these breeds?
Some ugly dogs
The fact that most of these changes cause severe breathing problems, spinal issues and various skin diseases just to be *aesthetically* pleasing to us is truly heartbreaking
Heartbreaking and very disgusting.
And a lot of them don't even look as good as they used to back in the day
Pushed in faces isn't restricted to just dogs. Rabbits were breed to have the same thing to make them "cuter" but has resulted in a lot of breathing issues. The drooping ears in many animals has been found to coincide with a more docile temperament, explaining why upright ears are less common now.
@@bunnywarren This! Lop eared bunnies are very cute but are so susceptible to ear infections because of their droopy ears. And munchkin cats are bred to have short legs like corgis and dachshunds but it causes them so much pain.
I have a boxer and a German shepherd and I can say they both have hip problems. My boxers ears aren’t up because we didn’t want her ears to be clipped not because it was cuter but because we felt that would have been better for her, since by the time we got her they had already cut her tail. She’s a boxer/German shepherd mix and she’s adorable her nose is a lot longer than normal boxers which I’m not sure but I think helps with the breading issue? Not all breeders are horrible but there’s too many who are 😭😔
If I'm being honest a lot of the dogs looked better before they were bred to have a certain look
agree
I yelled, "put them back!" when taking a good look at the thumbnail
Probably because they are visibly healthier.
the focus of breeding simply changed. Every dog used to be a working dog, because humans wanted and needed them to work for us. All changes shown in the video where breeded from the 18ths to today, a time where human society drastically changed. Just think of the way farming works nowadays, how many dogs are used to herd? So I guess poeple stoped thinking and wanting a worker but a pet
Well, they were certainly healthier. Ever heard of William Hogarth’s painting “The Painter and His Pug”? Look it up and compare to a photo of a modern pug...
Personally, I think the older generations of all these breeds are cuter. And, they were healthier, more athletic, and more helpful. So- the breeding seems to have made these dogs more unhealthy than they were before.
Look at some older generation pugs. Look at their elbows. They were horrific.
@@kpina2081 Look at them now. They shouldn't even still be being bred. Lol
@@ClearKnowingFeelingHearing I feel like it's animal cruelty to keep breeding them. I mean their face is iconic and kinda cute. But Jesus, does the veil really come off when you actually get to know what it feels like for a pug to simply exist. Must be harsh.
@@humanity_moment. I agree :/ it’s very sad, especially for pugs because with a face so smushed they really take the brunt of it, but all of these breeds in the video I feel sooo sad for. I remember having seen that white dog with the weird swollen looking nose irl and being like, “What the daaamn hell is that??” But now I know it’s just shitty breeding practices at work 😔 so much done for aesthetics that aren’t even desirable, smh 😞
That's because most of the changes weren't intentional. The problem with selective breeding isn't the traits being selected for, most of the problem traits were accidental. The problem was that around the late 19th and early 20th centuries, breeders were *obsessed* with maintaining the "purity" of their lines and so *massively* inbred their dogs. The resulting genetic messes became the breed standards.
My first dog I owned as a child was a purebred Samoyed. My mom bought her for me because she'd also owned a Samoyed as a kid and wanted another one. I was very excited to get my puppy because I'd looked at the pictures in the Samoyed book that my mom had kept for years, which was probably published in the 70s or 80s. All the dogs in that book looked like fluffy white wolves. Wolves are my fav animal so of coarse I was thrilled to be getting a dog that looked similar. Our Samoyed grew up to have a wolfy looking face but her stature was not quite like the ones in my mom's book. She was a wonderful dog and I had her until she got old and developed cancer and I had to put her to sleep. She always had some chronic health issues.
I realized as I got older how much overbreeding was taking place even with Samoyeds. Rather than resemble a fluffy white wolf or look similar to a white husky, most of them have started looking very teddy bear ish - Shorter legs, bigger eyes, shorter snouts, rounder ears, etc. They no longer look like a dog bred for athetecism and endurance and sled pulling. Instead, so many of them today are starting to look similar to what Chows have become (another totally ruined breed)
That's sad
Damn..... never knew that .... that samoyeds suffered from deformities like that
There are still "original" chows around here and there ("open face" type.) Just the closed face type became too popular because they have fatter puppies that look cuter to some people, unfortunately. ☹️ If you want to see "original" working type Chows in China, look up Guangdong bear dog. They kinda do look like old style Samoyeds. I think the biggest problem with Sammies is not the structure, which still seems ok for now despite everything, but that they have been bred for waaa~~~y too much coat. 😕
Same! Samoyed used to be my favorite dog breed, but without the wolf-like build, and not so athletic, I handed “favorite” over to the Border Collie, which I own presently.
I had a Samoyed, when I was a kid. And he didn't have any kind of health issues or anything like you described in the comment. Although he was born in 1987, so maybe that's the reason he was healthy all his life.
We need a strong movement of "back breeding" to make them healthy again. It's been done with horses.
@@DAMNDANIELLL Yes, often. It is done with horses a lot since horses are still primarily work animals.
@@itlh6296 yes but in this case we are the selective pressure. ‘Standards’ for breeds have changed over time, and so only desirable traits are bred for. If humans disappeared yes dogs would likely eventually become one breed with good health, but as it stands we are the ones who have to do the back breeding.
I think the key is to not support backyard breeders and to only support responsible breeders who are concerned with improving the breed
Yes
THIS
It’s ironic that so called “animal lovers” are the ones that bread these dogs into a miserable existence full of Heath issues for cuteness sake.
By animal lover they mean selfish human that doesn't care about the health of other animals, and only care about how cute they find them
I think a lot of these animal lovers are just ignorant. A big reason a lot of these dogs are bread this way is cause of commercial demand (granted it’s also due to dog shows). Many people buying dogs may not know that selective breeding results in all of this. Actually chances are a lot of people don’t realise that dogs were selectively bred to be this way.
Girls fault...✌️... Cuteness is in demand
While you can find bread on bakeries, breeds on the other hand are a result of demand. As such there will always be people trying to make a living from that demand. Like the circus. We should stop the stupidity of admiring the "pure" races (yes, even in humans), because the natural way is to interbreed which has as a result to fix genetic problems.
Yes I wonder if there’s some way to reverse this nasty breeding that caused them to look like that.
This is a weird list... it starts with one of the most "broken" dogs of all: the pug at no. 14 und somewhere at no 7 or something there's one of the healthiest purebred dogs, the poodle. Honestly, I'm a vet nurse, poodle are, generally speaking, a very healthy breed.
Rule of thumb: the extreamer a dogs features are, the more problems occur. Some of the worst breeds are French and English Bulldogs and Pugs. Like... for real, don't get them. These dogs suffer their entire life. It blows my mind we're still allowed to breed so many dogs that obviously suffer for bizarre beauty standards.
Standard size poodle was originally water retriever, & hasn't changed structurally ,
The clip was already done back in 1600s, rear shaved, bc of heavy coat, less drag, poms protected joints .
First poodle go BIS, Westminster, 1935, a standard looked like today's , except for lenghth of hair, gotten longer topknot, & ears. Guess was no hair spray, to puff it up !!
( poodles have hair, not fur!)
I didn't understand it as though the health problems are getting worse as the list progresses
Agree, i have/had 5 poodles in last 15 years, and all of them was/are perfectly healthy. Also non of the fur issues.
I really wish vets got a say in breeding standards to finally make it so they discourage traits that cause health issues like droopy eyelids and squished in faces. If a breed has no eligible animals left once all of those individuals are disqualified then show breeders would have an incentive to fix their breeds to stop being that way.
@@taiga738 That's a nice thought, but here's the catch: There are veterinarians at dog shows checking the animals. There are also vets who breed dogs like pugs and boston terriers.
I could never quite figure out what breed my terrier mutt was, and now I realize he looks very similar to the comparatively "original" breed of westie
edit: also, he always gets a lot of attention when we're outside, so that goes to show that selectively breeding for aesthetics doesn't necessarily mean you get an objectively cuter dog
Westie s. are off shoots from Scottus, & Cairns. There are no pure white Scott is, or Cairns, & no black Westie s
Also crossbreeds tend to live longer, We have a GSD crossbreed that is now nearly 3 years old. Probably crossed with a (greater) Sennendog, that is from looking at his ears and the white patches on his chest and toes. 40kg male that looks a lot more like the before photo (straight back, black saddle and all, except for the droopy ears, but if you ask me that only makes him look cuter).
@@yoeriw7099 There's no evidence of that. The longest living dog was pure bred

Dogs: no
Breeders: would you like too?
Dogs: um no

Stop overbreeding. All of these original dogs are gorgeous and it seems healthier. Sad.
Its even worse in cats
Stop *backyard* breeders,
You mean.
@@OatmealPancake-ej8ky You're right.
Yea, cat with short leg? What the fk is that
@@OatmealPancake-ej8ky Adopt don't shop, stop breeding at all till we find homes for all the dogs and cats being put down because someone would rather buy a family member instead of adopt. Smh.
I'm a dog groomer and just about every bulldog i do makes me want to cry when i groom them. They're so horribly shaped and have the worst skin. There was one thats legs were uneven, her anus was where her tail should be and she couldn't hold her head straight because she would stop breathing. They bred her with her brother. When i asked why, they said 'the gene pool is so small it won't make a difference.' Wanted to punch their face in. It's not the only time I've seen siblings being bred either.
I like it when people adopt dogs that just happen to have a deformity or miss a leg, but I hate it when people adopt (or further-breed) a dog that is clearly not supposed to be alive and is in pain or unable to live a normal life.
Dogs are not humans, they cannot talk for themselves and you have to ignore your emotions sometimes and set a boundary, especially for animals that don't have an owner yet and aren't loved by anyone yet.
A puppy born with legs that are deformed and will most likely never walk and seems to have severe healthproblems next to it, should not be raised. And the mother should not be bred again.
So many people are breeding cute-looking sick dogs and spreading troubled puppies throughout their neighbourhood and buying them from Romanian breeders because 'they are cute' and honestly, I get called cruel when I say it, but you need to be strict and set a boundary and euthanize the sick ones and stop accepting illegal sick dogs from other countries.
One eye missing is no reason to euthanize, but a deformed spine is. No matter how much money the future owner is willing to spend on the painkillers.
Would you recommend a amstaff pug mix?
Poor baby.
You missed the part about the "selective inbreeding" that has caused all but the original 2 colours of the *Dachshund* that has lead to an increase in heart, joint, shorter life span, and other health issues previously not there or rarely seen let alone the issues that come with trying to make them ever smaller and smaller.
the old photos of these dogs look amazing and i don't understand how not being able to breath right is cute, how spinal problems and pain is cute, and how more fur and shorter legs are cute.
Historically, those types of dogs were notably for the rich or the nobles who could afford to own a dog that had no actual use. Shorter legs meant they did not need as much excersize, more fur to pet and touch, and the spinal and pain problem weren't things properly understood during the times of their historic developement, around the 1800's for the pug for instance. It really was a result of human need and unforseen consequences mostly.
@@LaughingJokerProd Good information!
That’s why I love mutts
@@jesusllanas9318 agree
Some people cut the tails of some dogs, idk if it's better....
Humans: pugs are lazy and don’t like exercising
Pugs: your the one who made me have a harder time breathing
I know someone who has a pug and he breathes so loud, he is just gasping for breath and I feel sorry for how he has to live like that for the rest of his life just because people like my cousin and former best friend keep supporting the breeding of pugs and other dogs with severe problems

@@rinibunny4576 I'm kinda worried about spend cats
My pug is far from lazy, he loves running and playing .... he is super energetic but yes he does snore without even being asleep from time to time and it scares me, like he is choking or something :(
I do love my pug though ❣
I'm a dog groomer. I've worked with MANY, of poodles in my years of all sizes. Sebaceous adenitis is an exceedingly rare health problem, I've only seen it once and it was a poodle mix. It's much more common for them to have epilepsy, though they are usually a fairly healthy breed. Also, they have always had tightly curled hair. That photo depicts a dog with a corded coat (basically controlled matting.) Modern poodles can still be corded, though it requires a special type of grooming and meticulously separating the cords regularly so it doesn't affect the health of the dog.
It’s sad that humans have put so many breeds of dogs at risk of death
Just to make them “prettier”
Exactly, and they don’t even look better, they just look deformed and/or dysfunctional
Yeah, the funny thing is they were so much prettier before, I seriously don't like most of the looks and knowing how much damage that does to them just makes me want them less.

This is a great list of breeds you shouldn't buy until breeders start to care about the health of these dogs, and not just money and aesthetics.
There’s a slight chance that much of the information presented is dishonest, perhaps an effort to steer people away from buying puppies and toward adopting.
@@juniorvonclaire3576 isn't that a good thing? Supply and demand, if there are no buyers buying dogs that are bred with health problems then that amount of dogs with health problems will decrease
@@khoavo510 Not necessarily. One might claim that all breeds have been inbred to some extent and so therefore no one should ever breed or buy again.
I’m thinking spaying and neutering and are all good, but I raise dogs responsibility from 8-10 weeks old. I’ve been scolded by activists in more than one occasion, trying to shame me for my decision... while I was there with one well-raised Rottweiler or another. I believe in freedom and I take the raising and treatment of my dogs very seriously.
I was told by someone that by buying a puppy I was responsible for the death of a sheltered dog.
@@khoavo510 Supply and demand doesn't work on dog Breeding since dog's were and are not breed like this for resale. They have only been breed to change there features for Dog Shows unless u can shut down these dog shows this shall continue.
Breeding is never about money, unless they're puppy mills. Responsible breeders don't earn much from selling their puppies.
The older version of the Chow Chow is so much cuter than the current version
So cute
My grandparents had two St Bernards, and one of them developed the eye issue, it was incredibly sad to see as a younger kid because I could recall the energy they had when I was younger.
2:07 What a cute and completely accurate looking fox
idk about u but i think that's got to be my favorite fox iv ever seen, especially when i go into town and u see 3 in a couple of trees.. 🤣
Not sure whether it should be called a squox or a firrel (both words are combinations of the words squirrel and fox as that's what the animal in question seems to be)
@@sunshineleith5556 squox surely
My land had quite the acorn infestation, but those foxes quickly took care of them
it is the result of selective breeding
I've been preaching this for years. It's not normal for a dog's eyes to randomly pop out, like with the Pugs
@Bitterman my old dog passed away shortly after I posted my comment. He had heart failure and knee & hip displaysia at only 8 years old as a yorkie mix. Its so sad. People need to stop breeding dogs for looks
@Bitterman australian Sheppards too, those dogs are smart, fast, healthy, and cute.
Finnish Laplandsreindeer dogs are very healthy too🤩
@@MajimeTV Why would anyone still sell a dog that has all those problems. It's cruel and sick. But money talks in this world. And no one is willing to change that. So.
Not to mention how ugly they are...yuck!
It's still baffling that humans have cared so much about how a dog looks to the extent of shortening their life and greatly lessening quality of life for these innocent creatures
This is why we need more mutts, beautiful just how they are
If you breed two unhealthy different breeds, the mutt will still be unhealthy unfortunately. The only solution is to breed for health, which is simply not possible in the current market. I grew up with pp dogs that my family bred (numerous breeds) and I can tell you it’s not possible to breed a healthy dog anymore unless you are specifically breeding for the army or something.
Sorry I should have explained. What happens specifically is something like this: a breed becomes popular, the consumer wants that breed because of the look, then they only want the biggest version or a specific color. Then they want it to act like a lapdog. So they breed from docile (sorry if this isn’t the pc term but ‘low intelligence’) type dogs that have the right look. And the look might come with health issues, that then get accidentally ‘fixed’ into the breed. It’s very sad
@@HkFinn83 That's actually wrong! Most mutts are very healthy dogs, as they might not get the health problems that purebred dogs get. I have a mutt and he's the most healthy dog I've ever had. He's 13 years old now and has never had any health issues.
@@thewildbruce5612 and the two parents of your healthy mutt were themselves extremely unhealthy mutts?
@@thewildbruce5612t depends on the breeder, you can get a well bred purebred with little to no health issues
This is why my family only adopts shelter dogs, as they're often mixed and therefore much healthier. I'll never understand people who think it's okay to do this to *any* animal just for their own shallowness.

Yes we can say some of these problems the ""new"" dog have are really bad, but it can be fix and most pepole can afford the treatment so the animal wont feel anything. The thing about how the dogs had change its complex, now some dog have some problem, but they wont feel anything and now more pepole can have a pet in their house. And again it can be fix.

My dad used to breed cocker spaniels when he was younger and I remember them being muscular and having a pointed snout. They were larger, more athletic, and intelligent. My friend just adopted a purebred cocker and it looked so different. It lacked muscle definition, his snout is short and curved, and he has trouble breathing after playing. It’s sad how much thirty years of poor “fashion” breeding can do to a breed.
so what your saying is your friend got a dog from a bakyard breeder and now that speaks for the whole breed intresting consept
@@crazy_shepherd_lady9676 I did not say that it spoke for the entire breed. There are still beautiful, healthy spaniels out there from people who are doing right to preserve them. I suggest you reread my comment before coming here with that tone, especially since I said nothing to pick a fight or be rude to others. Now THAT, would be an interesting concept.
@@crazy_shepherd_lady9676 yeah what he said😡
Same with German shepherd. Modern ones have drastically sloped spine. In my grandfather's days, they were agile and fierce and had absolutely straight spines
Correct, because dog breeds are continuously adapted to the wants and needs of the current times. It’s been happening since man first domesticated animals.
I had a "friend" get a pug and from the start of its life it was on meds, and she thought that was perfectly normal.
I don’t know exactly where my parents got our German shepherd, but she looks to have a straight back and is a relatively medium size. I don’t remember her weight, but I know she isn’t exactly light. Glad to have had this video to pop up, though.
The old dogs in all the black and white photos look so much better
The one at the 4 minute mark would be cool to play with honestly.
They’re both cool looking!
That Rastafarian looking poodle was awesome looking, a quick bath and a bit of trim would make it a show stopper.
agreed i don't understand people who wanted them to look this way the chow chow was adorable before and now it looks like its perpetually overweight
Bulldogs and pugs were always mistakes. Same with dachshunds. All dogshit breeds
Its really sad how all of this dogs had a job, a purpose, and that their instincts still tell them they should do their job, but their humans don't even want them to touch dirt nowdays ....

@Evil Pimp inmates also get fed, they get a medic whenever they get sick and they always have a roof over their heads. You should go to jail yourself and be happy about living such an unnatural life too! dummy
@Evil Pimp living inside a tiny apartment, waiting for your owner to allow you to take a piss or poo: wow such a great life! A dog that lives outdoors, that can run, piss whenever it feels like pissing or pooping, being able to chase birds and vermin, that is a dog that lives in a happy NATURAL environment. People who own dogs and live in apartment are the worse, a 10 minute walk is no replacement for outdoor freedom; it's comparable to the daily breaks that inmates get in prison if anything.
I bet you also feed your dogs a kibble diet and think that's natural for them to eat. I feed my dogs raw meat, bones and organs from the deer, moose and bears I hunt. They also love pork, chicken and eggs from the farm. My dogs hunt rabbits and other vermin alongside my ferrets, they do what they were bred to do: that's how you spoil a dog. Not my problem you have an issue with how mother nature works.
their was a documentary called "The extinction of dogs " that was aired about 2 decades ago but was sued by the kennel clubs , now its been completely removed from media .

The video sounds as if the author took all this information from an fb post.
It's sad when a dogbreed becomes 'popular' and everyone wants one..... at the cost of their health. Besides that... people should also know what the limits and what the needs of a bred are. To give their dog the amount of exercise they need and deserve.

For Dachshound, German Shepherd and Bassett there are still working bred dogs available that are functional and healthy.
GSD is healthy 😂😂😂🤡
@@link_junior Nope, the frogshape bred GSDs all get joint problems when older. These are heavy dogs and the back and hind leg formation of these show bred GSD is in no way functional to carry that weight. You can see videos of young show dogs in the ring in high ranking shows that have pathological ataxic movment. Instead of working back and forth under the dog like a pendulum the hind legs wobble in all directins when the dogs moves. When they get older that only gets worse.
@@petrairene It was an ironic comment, if you want a healthy Shepherd, get yourself a Malinois or a Dutch Shepherd
My German shepherd was fine but got back and hip problems we found out through the vet that its normal for the breed
@@AutisticPigeons it's not normal for the working bred ones, here both parents need to have x-rays of their joints that are free from any issues to get breeding license. The result of the parents x-rays is on the pedigree papers of each dog.
Breeders need to start returning to breeding the old types of dogs. Some breeds are revivals such as the Dorset bulldog which is a copy of the 1800s bulldog. I have a flat back working line GSD and aswell as being healthier than sloped backed dogs I also prefer how she looks. Tbh she's a bigger dog than the earlier breed (42kg instead of around 25kg) but is very agile. Most old style dogs on this list look better than newer versions as well as being healthier.
“sloped back” doesn’t exist, unless you mean roached back. all standards, including showline standards, call for a straight back with rear angulation
My mother raised dogs in a kennel. Mostly Golden Retrievers but for a while also German Shepherds. However she stopped due to difficulty in finding healthy heritage lines, both physically and mentally.
Now imagine what is about to happen when we decide to "improve" human beings with genetic intervention.
I think that’s already happening where you can get your eye color or hair color a certain way but I’m not sure
@@bucketboy8461 I don't believe what you're referring to is genetic
@Bits海 I don't think changing eyes or hair colour after you're born changes the actual genetics of the eyes or the hair
@Bits海 we all know that hair and eye color is genetic, but when you change your hair or eye color using dye it doesn't change your genetics. It doesn't change your genetic code and you can see this because you continue to grow new hair which is you're natural color. That is what I assumed the original guy meant in their message because I've never heard of people changing their genetics for hair and eye color although selective breeding has existed in the past.
You can change your eye colour through contacts similar to wearing a wig or dyeing your hair. Your not actually changing the color of your hair or eye but are putting another color on top. Now you could undergo gene therapy but whether or not your traits will continue on to your kids I dont know.
Looking at bulldogs and pugs just hurts my soul. I also hate what's happened to the GSD. If I ever buy a GSD I'd get a working line never a show line.
It really sucks that this happened wish it could be reversed and made illegal to breed dogs this way
40k+ for a dog out of a good working line
intelligent
@@TheAgeOfLyrics I'm not against breeding itself. I'm against breeding for things that some people perceive as cute is detrimental to the dogs health or away from what the dog was intended for. Looking at the GSD there is a big difference between the show lines and the working lines. If I ever bought a GSD I would definitely get a working line not a show line. It's not only the structure of the dog either, it's the difference in temperament as well.
THANK YOU!
@@ninarain9422 I really do think we should stop breeding dogs and cats how we are as there's so many in shelters that need homes terribly bad but instead of adopting people choose to pay for a family member instead and it's terribly sad.. Please, please adopt don't shop!
I have talked to over 70 people who got mixed breed dog from shelter abroad and we all have healthy dogs who have no allergies, disabilities or disfigurements. Adult dogs just needed dental cleaning which is recommended here to be done by vet regularly anyways. With unconditional love, care and good food (lots of raw meat with veggies etc.) and dogs will do anything to please their owner. My 3 year old dog wasn't trained at all in any language and he learned everything in dog training right away, refused the treats and rolled over asking tummy scratches as a reward. He volunteers in kids events and visits care homes. He would never escape when free in nature and I can trust him 100%
Only thing he hates is teeth cleaning but chooses it every day to get thick meaty bone or one made from meat and skin (I hold it from the other end and clean his teeth switching the side he bites the bone daily). Works every time.
My lord, the photos of the older versions look so much better than our bastardized modern ones.
Agree. Also they can do the job they were bred to do. I can't imagine a British Bulldog fighting a bull now haha.
No poodles always had soft curls. The reason they looked like that it's because they were matted, and actually they were more in pain before because their fur was left uncared! Poodles weren't kept like the picture in the video, they wore the classic short cuts we see in dog shows today for function. I was really surprised and didn't expect to see poodles in this video, these dogs didn't change much, they're still healthy, athletic, and really active and smart
He was definitely wrong about poodles .
I immediately thought that too when I saw that coat, no dog just grows dreadlocks lol. The coat was totally matted!!
As a groomer, it has always amazed me when spot shaving a matted poodle how it left hair behind in the pattern of these classic show styles! It definitely still requires maintenance if an owner wants it extra poofy/dramatic, but it's easy to see how the pom pom style evolved from shaving those peskier areas for upkeep. Also good to note that any curly coat can hypothetically dread if allowed to grow out and kept like the Puli is. Shaved, non-dreaded Pulis have same dense curly coat as their cousins 🤷♀️
Don't they have a nasty temper by nature?
@@fearlessjoebanzai I don’t think so. I have a 4/5 month old cockapoo and he’s the sweetest dog ever, the kids in my neighborhood love him and kiss his face and grab his tail but he does not snap even in this phase where he is teething a lot
Dogs are just supposed to be your friend and buddy. They aren't supposed to be your beauty models or whatever! Try squishing your face and see how you feel about it! Each dog has it's own unique features and I think all of them are beautiful.

What I truly don't understand is how people find dogs like pugs "beautiful". They're absolutely fugly.
@@eno2870 Dude by this comment u have stepped into hell
When you hear "purebred", what is really meant is "inbred".
Thank you for this helpful info. I enjoyed the soft background music.
The Kennel Club in the UK is one of the reasons for this gross treatment of pedigree dogs. Their breed standards encourage more and more extreme inbreeding and dogs with medical defects have won championships and are encouraged to breed against veterinary advice. Members who tried to advocate for the Club to look at dogs' health were thrown out. They only care about money.
That isn’t true in the slightest bit. Backyard breeding is the reason these changes occurred. Responsible breeders have been trying to speak out against this for decades but people still keep going to BYB. Responsible breeders put health first and strive to better their dogs.
@@entitledbobcat Maybe watch the two documentaries about the Kennel Club and do some research. The KC only changed some of its guidelines when faced with public revulsion at the exposure of their practices. Breeding for appearance has outweighed health and inbreeding has reduced the wellbeing of dogs. Just look at photos of breeds from 50-60 years ago and now and you can see the extremes which are being promoted as ideal - especially for the flat faced breeds. And it is not the backyard breeders who are the judges at Crufts awarding prizes to unhealthy dogs.
@@ravikhan5945 I appreciate the response, I’m assuming you are referring to “Pedigree Dogs Exposed”, which yes I have watched both of those. Those documentaries are actually what got me interested in the world of dogs. Since then, looking at genetic research done on dogs from actual studies, inbreeding in itself isn’t what causes issues unless it’s done too widely or too frequently. Poplar sires can ruin a breed. Genetic diversity is what is important, and as long as that is maintained, then a healthy population can be as well. One study in particular I had looked at had shown that although Labrador retrievers had less instances of inbreeding, they had less genetic diversity than American Akitas. The American Akita population had more genetic diversity, but also more instances of inbreeding due to having a smaller population. Part of what contributed to this is the same few male dogs being used to stud multiple litters of puppies. Eventually this does result in wide spread inbreeding which then in turn causes genetic bottlenecks due to lack of genetic diversity.
The breed standards themselves do not encourage more and more extreme breeding and many places are implementing bans on such practices as well. Sadly, there are judges who award extreme examples of breeds, and these extreme examples often times do not necessarily fit within breed standard as standards are generally written with health in mind. At least this is so for the AKC and FCI.
Sadly, the documentary does not look at the breeders who do prioritize health in their dogs and instead paints a very negative light on pedigree dogs and the show dog world. It only shows a very narrow scope that does not encompass the vast majority of responsible breeders. Even breeders of brachycelphalic breeds. I also used to be very much against them until I had actually started to talk to the people who breed them and see the test results the dogs have and what the breeders do to prevent certain health issues like BOAS.
BYB do not have any kind of health testing or healthy stock majority of the time, if it all. Responsible breeders strive to improve their dogs and the health of their dogs whereas BYB will focus on pumping out fad puppies. This is why researching your breeder is so important. If you find a breeder who practices unethical procedures, then they need to be called out so others can avoid them. I hope this helps explain it better.
@@entitledbobcat Thank you for taking the time to respond in such detail - much to think about. I still feel that judges who award extreme features have caused a lot of problems and shows like Crufts have contributed to that - it's a point we probably agree on. I recall the public outcry over the German Shepherd with a back so sloped she couldn't walk properly yet winning in 2016. I volunteered in an animal rescue in London and so many pedigree breeds are dumped when the health issues inevitably appear - French bulldogs for example. Definitely unscrupulous breeders are a huge problem but their puppies are still registered with the Kennel Club here and have all their papers. I don't think the KC is doing enough personally and what it has done has mostly not been of its own accord but because of the bad practices being exposed to the public. Money talks I guess. Clearly you are a dog lover and I am impressed by your knowledge and depth of research. Of course, there are excellent breeders but the fact that they are probably outnumbered by BYB as you call them means the organisation that should be keeping tabs on this is not doing the job it should. The general public's desire for the latest fashionable breed is also to blame.
Disgusting and sad☹️

Now, my cousin's German Shepherd looks cute but it's not that athletic. I'm fine with that but seeing the difference between the two dogs kinda disappoints me. the breeding process really fucked it all up.

Aw some of my fav dogs and some dogs that I’ve known are here in this list. They rlly looked good back then but too much cross breeding caused this problems to the dog breeds. This is truly heartbreaking.
Luckily some people are trying to breed these issues out of the dogs, if you still want one you should try looking for any that are mixed breed with something else!
For example: People have been breeding pugs and terriers to undo the smashed snout and apparently it's had great effect!
My German shepherd is closer to its ancestors and being a athletic dog id say his parents and family line are rather healthy from what I've seen and he's able to easily jump very high.
Having worked with poodles for several years now, I’m pretty certain their coat rarely has a negative effect on them. Yes, it can happen, but you’re more likely to get a perfectly healthy poodle than one with sebaceous adenitis. More common issues are bad teeth (on mini and toy poodles) or elbow dysplasia. One thing to consider too is that they have constantly growing hair with no undercoat so it’s important to have them groomed regularly and to protect them from extreme temperatures. Compared to how much other breeds suffer, these issues can be almost completely ruled out quickly with responsible ethic breeding. Btw doodles suck though. Don’t cross breed a poodle, EVER!
Hello Sophie how are you doing today
I agree, I have a standard poodle and I work at a vet clinic. When they mention sebaceous adenitis. I've never seen a standard poodle have it or any toy or miniature poodle. Not saying they don't get it. I've seen where they get allergies. But just give them a bath maybe once a week and store there food in the freezer can help that and that's for any dog because a lot of dogs get allergies. But I think poodles are pretty healthy breed. Also I agree with you on mixing poodles with other breeds. Even the guy that first invented the goldendoodle regrets it.
Responsible ethic breeding? That's an oxymoron.
@@jmtimmons There are excellent breeders out there who are breeding because they love the breed and want to preserve or improve the health and working ability of their breed.
Most breeders don't fall into this category, and most people don't know how to identify a responsible breeder, but they do exist. Responsible breeders are incredible assets for both the dogs they breed and the owners who buy the dogs.

I had German Shepherds back in the 80's/90's and back then their hind legs weren't short and they had a straight back. They were also either really short haired or really long haired. Now they all have the short hind legs, sloping back and they all seem to be semi long haired now, at least where I live. These days I have Ridgebacks, I still love shepherds, but would never get one of these "Hybrid" dogs
There are long haired shepherds, Shiloh, King, Caucasian, but are not Akc recognized
"The white terrier" as you called it, is a West Highland White Terrier. They were mostly bred for ratting, not fox hunting. I have had 2 in my lifetime and neither of them experienced knee problems - it was mostly skin conditions because of their white fur. A good video that raises awareness for truly awful breeding such as the pug, but the Westie part obviously wasn't researched very well 😂
I thought there were barely any information about the English Bulldog. The English Bulldog has WAY more health issues than the pug! The pug only has issues with their snout, while the English Bulldog has issues with EVERYTHING!
This video honestly made me so self conscious of dogs now, I can't help but look at a pug and then the owner of a pug and be like "Why would you get a pug". These poor dogs being breed for certain looks, when almost always, their looks looked WAY better before than they do now, especially the bull terrier, pug, basset hound and Chow-Chow
Be careful not to judge the owners too harshly, many dog owners today are adopting these dogs from homeless shelters...
@@karenmarkroark1551 are they pure breeds tho? Because I find it hard to believe you'd manage to find a pure breed pug at a shelter. Most dogs there are always mixed
So there’s a difference between a well bred purebred and a purebred. A well dog is going to be from proven lines, with extensive health testing. They aren’t going to bend to feds (like larger GSDs) and will stick to the original standard.
I hear a lot about people adopting purebred pugs, so it's definitely possible. Maybe the original owners realized all the health issues and didn't want the dog anymore.
@@IllusionQueen4Eva thats when purebred VS well bred come into play and why it’s so important to do research on your Breeder. A well bred pug will be free of BOAS and genetic issues. Reputable breeders also make their clients sign a contract that has a lot of things on it concerning the wellbeing of the dog, but one of those things on the contract is that if the breeder finds out you dropped the dog off at the shelter, that they can take you to court and sue you for violating the contract and get the dog back.
Anyone can breed purebred dogs, that isn’t hard. Breeding a well bred dog is hard though.

(poodles never had corded coats, they were always curly. The corded/braided coats was a hairstyle that humans would do on the dog)
(the picture of the jumping German shepherd was actually a Belgian Malinois)
(The "White Terrier" is actually called a West Highland White Terrier, and the animated clip used was actually an Old English Sheepdog)
Belgian Malinois look very much like the old German shepherd. They were bred to look like that for who knows why. BUT, German shepherds actually looked like that.

luckily they are breeding retro pugs
My deepest condolences
The original dogs in China that were crossed with European small dogs to create pugs were just small mutts in their own right; they are still healthy and you can see modern dogs that look like that in China still. One followed an Australian traveler in a long distance race for miles and miles, much longer than any modern purebred pug could manage. Look up Gobi the dog: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobi_(dog) Cute, right? 😁
I would like to know exactly which years these selective dog breeding was most prominent because my hunch is that the selective breeding was done in the 1900s or earlier where we also didn't care about human health during industrialization.
The German shepherd is an especially sad case. I’ve known several people who’ve had them and all have had severe hip problems. One was crippled by 8 years old and had to be euthanized. The AKC needs to intervene and stop recognizing some of these breeds totally.
The cruelty of some so-called "animal lovers" has no boundaries.
Breeders are not all animal lovers, it's a business. Puppies that don't match their strict criteria (the one driving all the defects) as laid down by the Kennel Club are often drowned in a bucket. We bought a white German Shepheard which was considered a defect, the breeder told us that we could never say it came from them or be linked back to their stud as it would ruin it's reputation. We only got it as we had been after one for so long and the breeder was a friend of a friend, later found out the other two whites in that litter went in the bucket. Animal lovers???? Not all are.
Animal lovers have the worst behaved dogs .
@@davesmith9844 if you go by that criteria what percentage of pet owners are animal lovers? 10-20%?
@@jozefj4273 they didn't say "owners", they said "breeders". Big difference. People who own "show dogs" probably aren't very far removed as a rule, I'd wager. But by my experience, anyone I've known that owns a dog or 5 very obviously loves their fur babies. So I'd say 70-80%.
Pedigree is all bullshit. Circus of biology. What entertainment we decided to have.
This is what true animal cruelty looks like

Honestly though it makes sense since the kind of people who get hard core into breading are also the kind that will constantly feel the need for lip injections and boob jobs. they can't just accept that things look a certain way they have to take things to the extreme.
Breeding needs to go back to the farmers and hunters that created the breeds for a functional purpose, not the fucking Karens that run kennel club to prance around an arena.

Quite a few of the breeds actually nearly went extinct during ww1 and 2 I beleive thats how we ended up with the flopping look of the british bulldog as there simply werent enough of them in the UK alone to not inbreed them. same thing probably happened with german shepards considering their use in Nazi Germany i excpect lots where killed in the fighting or over bred or left to go feral and either died or got shot by farmers etc. Same kind of thing happened with alot of horse breeds in WW1 because of their heavy usage.
Money
Many reason, some pepole wanted money, some dogs may gone extinct and most important, most dog never would be able to be own by normal pepole, because of the time, money, size, etc. Most dogs need. For example a farmer can give a german sheepar the space and time they need to exercice, some how live in a house and work in a office may dont and if you live in the big city, where find a house with space for a dog have a 0% be found, you never would have a dog. Even if the dogs now have healt problem, it can be fix, its not that big of a deal, they wont go extint and many because of the lives they have woudnt notice they healt problems
Us? Ha I don’t know who you think you can blame but I don’t even like dogs as pets, I rather them just be left alone but nope humans have to be weird.
My great grandmother had a “hot dog” when she was younger and always said how they didn’t look how they do today and I always thought she remembered it wrong but maybe I’m the one who didn’t know
This is not a ranked list . It's just a list to highlight what humans have done to poor dogs just for their pleasure.
I have a question did Sheltie change over the year (sheltie do look like collie but medium)
my aunt and uncle have a german shepherd, and apparently he did something bad, but whenever my family goes to see him, hes not a bad dog. hes actually very sweet. he just gets out a lot more when my family is around, since my aunt and uncle are really busy and dont have time to play with him. hes a really good boy, he just has too much energy for his own good
My friend has a German shepherd. Sadly he just take him for a short walk twice a day and that's it... The dog is very energetic and it's visible he needs much more activity... People shouldn't buy/adopt pets if they cannot provide enough care and doesn't matter is it a dog, a cat, a rabbit, a rat, a horse. An animal is a living thing and every single one of them has their needs. Lack of exercises leads to frustration and boredom, frustration and boredom lead to aggression and destructive behaviour.
@@lepusistlich6930 same as me Lol
@@lepusistlich6930 Sometimes people have no idea that the breed they’re looking at is a working dog - lack of research plays a part, as does social media these days. A dog whose genetic instincts are to work sheep or retrieve game are often difficult to manage in suburbia let alone in the heart of a city. My son’s Kelpie would run all day, given the chance. No way could he be left unattended, indoors or out, for more than a short period. I do feel for the ones who see their owner leave, knowing they’ll be alone for hours. People just really need to look into what is involved in taking good care of whatever living, breathing creature they’re interested in, whether it’s a fish, a reptile, whatever. As you said they have specific needs & if we’re going to take “ownership” we should bloody well do it right!
@@lepusistlich6930 insects too
People really need to adopt pets to fit their life styles. If you’re very active and have time get an active dog but if you aren’t then you need to find a pet that isn’t as active as others
The sausage dog is a bad case. They have trouble walking. I see some with their owners and their backs are further down than their knees. It’s so sad
Some of this is kind of like changing the natural course of evolution, n a very bad way.
They should live freely..so called animal lovers should stop animal abuse
My mom owns a dachshund and I tell you now it's not good for them now a days to be walking up and down stairs because it's not good on their backs. We carry ours up and down the stairs
@@AshKai1223 sometimes my dachshund does it without us looking and other times we bring her downstairs
@Daniel Blumberg It's disgusting when their nails grow so long that their legs become even more crooked...
8:24... What does it mean by coat issues and how does reduced peripheral vision affect a lap dog?
The fact that we did this to them is even more heartbreaking...
