I agree, it is sad. I know with our breed, in just the 24 years we've had them, they've gone from being a medium sized dog to a small to medium sized dog. Our first dog was above standard size, but would have been standard size 20 years before that. Poms used to go 30lbs in size.
What about breeds like danes? Harlequin breedings commonly result in blind dogs......IMO then Harlequin danes should not be a registerable breed with any kennel club.
There are ways to fix these things, but the kennel clubs need to start being part of the solution IMO.
