| Chihuahua, German shepherd, frenchie, pug, Arabians, friesians, miniature horses, even clydes... The cute ones and the beautiful ones get the worst overbreeding |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| versa - omg why would they squish shepherd noses??? :( ugh. trend breeding... I mean we could then get into how TBs have moved away from the older, sounder type into the "breaks a bone as soon as looks at an unmanicured surface" but |
| Heartbeat Haven |
| Correct. And it occurs heavily in puppy mills, sadly. Not so much in the people with registered papers and facilities |
| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| If you search it there's plenty of info, I don't want to copy/paste anything that'll upset anyone. It doesn't look nice! |
| forest stables |
| Chimera Oh gosh. . I force myself to avoid my phone at night T^T Never usually works |
| Ruby Valley |
| It's mostly the hip dysphoria I think is the word for German shepherds |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| aaaah okie! I might have to do a little more research, just to see exactly what it is that causes the problem. I think it's a separate test from the standard 6-panel but also very common to test for in lots of breeding stock |
| Heartbeat Haven |
| Depends on the breeder. German shepherds are being overbred in a lot of mills. Dedicated, responsible breeders can make very healthy shepherds. Especially since their muzzle isn't squished in |
| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| Maybe, I'm not an expert in it :) All I know is that it makes foals incompatible with life and a good number of popular WB sires have it |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| echo - that's exactly our point. regardless of the why, the rule is no asking keep/yeet questions in main chat. just remember it for next time and don't argue when someone reminds you |
| Ruby Valley |
| I think German shepherds are reaching that unhealthy standard too |
| Heartbeat Haven |
| Gladius, For real though! Realistically any breed can become that unhealthy (french bulldogs sadly are reaching it too), but there are some that have reached it visually more than others lol Yeah no, though. I wish more people worked on health rather than "beauty" |
