So do I. But this is how you fix them, a looser definition that out crosses for the dog’s well being or working ability/disposition as needed.
The catch 22 of it is that untracked, unregulated breeding within a breed is just as responsible for the problems with pure bred dogs as the whole pedigree system. You’re neighbor who breeds pure bred labs without papers, or by breeding siblings together is causing a lot more damage than reputable pedigree breeders who actively try to avoid that if possible. Unfortunately the system as it currently stands doesn’t allow (or kindly regard) the former crossing in related or disparate dogs. Or bringing mutts to the party to fix the actual problem, which is all inbreeding and genetic bottle necks. Those extreme aesthetics are almost entirely mutations forced by deliberate inbreeding.
