Both dogs and cats are bred to the point where they have breathing problelms, hip problems etc....
With millions of animals being put down every year no one needs to breed for show.
If you breed for police work or for seeing eye dogs or such I can understand that but to breed for show. I think that needs to end now.

That will never happen, and it shouldn't happen. Breeds will just go extinct, and we cannot allow that to happen, especially when some breeds are being persecuted now. Dogs are not only bred for show, many show dogs do more then that and many breed dogs who serve people on farms, serve the public in some way (like the ways you mentioned), etc. Breeds, especially the best of those breeds from reputable breeders going extinct or becoming none-existent is the last thing we need now. That could spell out the end for all dogs as we know it.
