Can The Bulldog Be Saved? is a thought-provoking article about the future and fate of the bulldog as a breed. There are also other breeds that are in a similar state. I think that there are a number of breeds that have been bred beyond the point where they can be healthy (either in the sense of physical health, or the sense of behavioural health, or both). By our design, we have created dogs that have trouble breathing, overheat too easily, have hereditary diseases, and can’t mate or give birth, among other problems. And temperamentally, there are many breeds that are known to be genetically fearful. I hope that the bulldog, and the other dog breeds that we have designed into disaster, can be saved.
