A new future for dog breeding by Helle Friis Proschowsky, Maja Louise Arendt, Brenda N Bonnett, Camilla S Bruun, Irena Czycholl, Merete Fredholm, Dan O’Neill, James A Serpell, Peter Sandøe

“…We argue that newly invented designer breeds and mixed breeds also have worrying health and behavioural problems, and that the predictability of purebred dogs with respect to body size, basic behaviours, known need for grooming, disorder profiles and other attributes may well offer some benefits for a satisfying human-dog relationship seen from both sides. The optimal future seems to lie in the middle ground, where the future organised dog world (i.e. kennel and breed clubs or their successor organisations) will need to re-open the breed registries, remove wording from breed standards that currently promotes extreme conformation, support selection against disease-predisposing genotypes and phenotypes and refocus dog showing and breeding to promote health and appropriate behaviour.…”
