Breeds that suffer a lot
In reality, trying to preserve suffering breeds of dogs and cats is objectively cruel, it may not be so obvious because we are used to it, after all for thousands of years we have molded the species canis familiaris and felis catus for different uses that we They have served in different contexts.

If you already have a pug or Japanese bobtail cat or in general any breed cat or dog, take care of it, check it and give it the best life you can, but if you were thinking of getting one there are things you should know, all breed cats and dogs They have problems, this is because to highlight the characteristics of a breed they have to be crossed with animals of that same breed and since it is a smaller population of animals that share those characteristics, the genetic variety is reduced.

While researching this topic, I came across a book about the predisposition of purebred cats and dogs to certain diseases, and I was impressed with the ridiculous amount of diseases to which Pugs are predisposed. In review, they can suffer from dental mycosis cysts. , adverse effects to vaccines, diabetes, portosystemic shunt, which are two connected veins that should not be connected, overweight, vascular necrosis of the femoral head, hip dysplasia, patellar dislocation, spina bifida, thoracic vertebral malformations, mast cell tumors of mast cells, corneal cancer, lack of development of the vertebrae, intervertebral disc disease, necrotizing meningoencephalitis, bacterial keratitis, cataracts, conjunctivitis, corneal pigmentation, corneal ulceration, distichiasis... there is more, but that's as far as I'm going, I think that the idea has been understood.
The German Shepherd breed, although it does not have obvious deformities such as the non-existent nose of brachycephalic breeds or the harmfully short legs in proportion along its torso of a dachshund, has a very long list of diseases just due to inbreeding from breeding. that deteriorates its genetics, the German shepherd can suffer from not one but two types of hemophilia just like the European aristocracy.

It is hell especially for the dogs, the breeders' advertisements show you happy dogs playing in large gardens, but that is not the whole story, you would be surprised at the horrible conditions in which some of the best-known breeders keep the dogs. and respectable, unfortunately breeders continue to exist because many people still think that animals are a good gift, especially at Christmas when a person is not prepared to take care of a living being and receives a puppy, a kitten or any animal, no matter how beautiful and tender. That is, when the novelty wears off, it will become a responsibility that they are not willing to have.
