Re: Pedigree/Purebreds then and now To be honest I think a lot of the 'before' photos were already pretty bad....
Re: Pedigree/Purebreds then and now I feel very sorry for some of today's pedigree dogs. It is a topic that has created huge divisions between dog breeders and the public and I don't really understand why. Some of the comparisons in the link were a little odd. The German Shepherd for example, didn't at all illustrate the extent to which these beautiful dogs have been damaged Here is what some of today's modern show ring GSD s actually looks like, http://www.border-wars.com/2010/12/bracketts-formula-for-failure-1.html Very sad indeed
Re: Pedigree/Purebreds then and now Very sad. Although, I'm not at all sure some of the "then" dogs look great. The angle of the bulldog's legs don't look right to me at all - in any of the pictures. And I can't say I think the "then" Basset Hound looks good for a day's work either - was it ever right to deliberately breed a dog this short at all?
Re: Pedigree/Purebreds then and now Just found this vid by an American comedian that tells a few hometruths. Good on him for getting it out there as they say .... http://pedigreedogsexposed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/adam-ruins-purebred-dogs.html
