Yes they do, and perhaps in past millenia, it was the survival of the fittest that knocked them out. These days however, they simply survive because of us humans.
I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel....great dog....lots of problems. I even knew that before I bought her. those dogs are notorious for spinal problems and respiratory problems, but I knew that....and live with that.
Perhaps that particular designer breed (being only a handful of centuries old) could never survive ourtside the domestic home.
