Is there too many dog breeds?

Today, it seems very fashionable to criticize the purebred dogs. Has acceded to the BBC the crowd with a documentary film (detection dogs ratios), which describes the risks of breeding purebred dogs for the health of dogs. They identify two major problems:

This is done – choose purebred dogs standards unhealthy for dogs.

- Very much higher than the inbreeding of the possibility of a hereditary disease.

For the first problem, the solution is easy, and in some cases: Cavalier King Charles and the small nose can not breathe properly, should be amended article to enable them to get more from the nose. In some cases, such as strains Basset, there are some complaints that the selection of them to trick could be arthritis, but is not designed to look like short legs, has proved to be useful to have dogs that can not run very fast, fishing and even companion dogs.

With regard to the second question, the root of the problem seems to lie in the mentality of a fan of dogs. The purity of thoroughbred dogs used both as a marketing gimmick to sell the dogs to the highest price that people do not even bother to question it.

In the past, rates have been manually by the teacher, there was no database that would allow people to search for the ancestors of dogs and there is no way to verify the paternity of a dog through DNA. Therefore, the farmers had new blood in the lines of intersection with other races. Customers and as long as you do not cross open more than necessary and the dogs were still looking and acting like it was supposed to be, happy. For example, in the late nineteenth century, Britain was a small dog dog pointing particularly relevant French and English until the fishermen came to Britain with a group has a high degree of competence in English and indicators. The owners of the French that Britain is very happy to cross their dogs with the champion of English (English was the first to identify dogs and demonstrated the ability). This is the way Brittany spaniel became the number one in the French race.

He called today spaniel breeders in all parts of Britain, with the authors of the indicators or “criminals” than ninety percent of the lovers of purebred dogs. How can govern themselves in a different way, even after a hundred years?

What happens if a fighter? Traditionally, they were always at the bottom of the boxer stolen, aesthetic and practical reasons. During the past decade, has been to apply the ban on tail docking in many countries including the United Kingdom known breeder of English, and Dr. Bruce Cattanach (http://www. Steynmere. Com / Bobtails. Html) discovered that some races were tail Short naturally. Experiment began to pass this gene a short tail and one of these breeds for the boxer. After crossing a short tail with corgi Boxer, and the selection of generators short tail crossed with boxer and so forth, obtained after several generations of some dogs that look like boxers who were born with a short tail. And successfully logged in with the Kennel Club to give a special and difficult to measure the proportions of the impurity purebred dogs (such as your first line).

The experiment was successful and a short tail boxers with less than one percent of the corgi blood that has been exported to different countries. Until he decided to German Boxer Club, which is responsible for determining the level of the German race, to prevent any boxer was born with a short tail, because these dogs were not 100 percent pure boxers. Therefore, the feature is required (short tail) and banned on the basis of ethnic purity. It seems that something has gone wrong, is not it?

Another factor that leads to deterioration of the situation: the emergence of new races of the ordinary. National pride plays a role in this phenomenon, each country wants its own breed of dog, which is usually derived from another race age. Once the recognition of this new type of dog, and it becomes very difficult, even impossible to cross with the original subject of the race. Therefore, the recognition of new strains to create a large number of small dogs and the inbreeding increases with each generation.

As evidence of the fact that there are more breeds, and there is competition in the 313 breeds recognized by the college. Allows you to guess the race of the images. The questionnaire was shown that a lot of people, including some of the judges overall (judges to allow all breeds judge), and none of them can not be recognized by all races in “” It is difficult, as shown by race in particular is to choose among the list of full breeds of dogs as possible.

Is this not evidence that there are many breeds of dogs all over?
