  1. I love looking at vintage dog images. Interesting to see how many breeds have changed (not always for the better) over the decades.
    I’d like to see several breeds bred back to previous forms, especially “short snouted” breeds

    1. I always find it interesting how much the lack of widely available/advanced veterinary services motivated breeders to produce dogs that could breathe, reproduce and otherwise function on their own around the turn of the century. Now that those “limiting factors” are gone, some breeders feel free to produce dogs that require veterinary intervention to survive.
