facts verse presents how 100 years of
breeding changed these popular dog
breeds the bull terrier
the bull terrier has changed a lot over
the years due to seriously impaired
breeding while breeders think that
they're making these dogs look better
they don't realize the amount of damage
that they're doing to the dog
since the drastic change in appearance
created by improper breeding these dogs
often suffer from problems with their
teeth this is because they have too many
teeth in their enlarged skulls improper
breeding has also caused mental
deficiencies one is the dogs will often
chase tails that are no longer there
this can be frustrating for the dog who
just wants to see his tail when he can't
find it he can get frustrated and that
can lead him to acting out or becoming
dangerous the German Shepherd in 1915
the German Shepherd was considered to be
a medium-sized dog and weighed about 55
pounds today the German Shepherd is
considered a large dog over the years
breeding has made this dog a complete
distortion of what he used to look like
today's German Shepherds are 30 pounds
heavier than their ancestors they have
sloping backs drunken gates and a barrel
chest all of these changes have caused a
variety of problems for many German
Shepherds as they age the most common
issue is painful leg problems the pug
the Pug is a dog who is in high demand
over the years this dog has been
seriously genetically modified
unfortunately he is the one who had to
pay the price this dog has been bred to
exaggerate some of its traits especially
his curled tail these tweaks in the
breeding have made these dogs very
susceptible to high blood pressure low
oxygen levels breathing problems and a
tendency to overheat dental problems
heart problems and dermatitis in the
folds of their skin while the curly tail
is what makes people love these dogs
it's actually a genetic defect which can
cause the dog to become paralysed with
age the boxer the boxer naturally has a
pushed-in face over the years breeders
have tried to make their snouts even
more pushed in this is what people
wanted in a boxer
unfortunately the breed itself is paying
the price for these changes
today's boxer has a shorter upturned
muzzle because of the changes the boxer
is prone to breathing problems and they
have trouble controlling their body
temperature it's not uncommon for a
boxer to have serious limitations put on
his physical abilities because he's
unable to control his body temperature
