I like the historic versions of dogs vs the modern ones. The modern versions of dogs are a lot less healthy, and it shows. :/
Yeah this is quite true, which is why I am proud of the breeders and shops out there that now advertise that they are mixing their purebred dogs to some degree with dogs of other races, making dogs that are 1/4 something else, 3/4 Golden Retriever, or some such.
This is how it should be done to make the breeds collectively healthier by consistently injecting more genetic diversity.
