Selective breeding has been a way of enhancing preferable genetic qualities in mainly dogs, cats and horses . Often the results can cause mild to severe problems.For example ;breeding for the flat face of the pekingese can cause breathing problems and jaw and teeth deformities. The English Bulldog has been bred to exhibit a certain conformation and in doing so , many of this breed suffer the above conditions as well as reproducing naturally.Artificial inseminations and caesarians are not uncommon. Selective breeding done by qualified professionals can certainly maintain and even improve a breed,as long as the results sought aren't exaggerated.
