6. The German Shepherd Dog has been mutated into a dog that can barely walk, compared to its predecessor. The German Shepherd used to be a large, muscular dog that could jump and run without any issue. Now, it is an angulated, barrel-chested, sloping back, ataxic breed. The breed changes serve no purpose and only hurt the dog.

7. The St. Bernard has always been a large dog, but now the modern breed has been oversized, had it’s faced squished in, and bred for abundant skin. The dog quickly overheats and cannot work like the breed was meant to. Their common diseases include entropion, ectropion, Stockard’s paralysis, hemophilia, osteosarcoma, aphakia and fibrinogen deficiency.

7. The Pug is another dog that was bred to be extremely brachycephalic breed (with its nose squashed in) and it has all the problems associated with that trait; high blood pressure, heart problems, low oxygenation, difficulty breathing, tendency to overheat, dentition problems, and skin fold dermatitis. Even the double-curl tail is actually a genetic defect, in more serious forms it leads to paralysis.

And if new puppies don’t fit these ridiculous (and often harmful) breed standards? They are culled by breeders, which means completely healthy puppies are euthanized, just because they don’t look perfect.
This is sick.
