Some of the most popular dog breeds today are shadows of what they once were. In this video, we examine five breeds that have been fundamentally altered by poor breeding practices; German Shepherds, Dachshunds, Border Collies, Cocker Spaniels, and French Bulldogs. We break down what each breed was originally developed to do, how modern breeding has prioritized aesthetics and trends over health and function, and what the consequences are for the dogs themselves and their owners. From crippling structural issues to behavioral problems rooted in genetic decline, this is an honest look at how we've failed these breeds and what needs to change. ✔️ How breeding ruined five iconic dog breeds ✔️ The health and behavioral consequences of poor breeding ✔️ What these breeds were originally meant to be ✔️ Why show standards and trends harm dogs ✔️ What responsible breeding should look like
