I am hoping that she is not a "purebred" but am at least aware and able to plan for the possibility that she may have a shrtened lifespan. My previous dog was a GSD mix who lived until 16 with few issues othr than arthrtis and the occasional GSD allergies. AKC has gone too far and would do well to encourage new bloodlines.

For one thing, the AKC is simply setting a "standard" and what people do is actually up to them. It's a bit like me putting up a post on how to make a bomb or a zip gun or how to mix up a batch of poison Koolaid. That's protected free speech, no matter how irresponsible.<br /><br />A straight ban on certain breeds is a better move. We can define brachycephalia with great precision, and if a state like California or New York banned brachycephalic dogs, there would be an immediate and rapid flip. Just introducing the legislation would result in a massive discussion about intentional dog breeding for deformity and the ethics of the same.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-28654072274016557032016-09-02T05:33:48.643-04:002016-09-02T05:33:48.643-04:00Dear Patrick,
