By identifying which traits are the strongest and better looking, such as size, coat and demeanor, we have designed at least 167 different breeds with unique physical and mental characteristics,according to the Science of Dogs.
This breeding is slowly mutating and disfiguring dogs and some of these changes have caused these animals unbearable pain.
The pressure to create the perfect canine derives from American Kennel Club standards, which is the official guidelines for show dogs.
These standards can be from the colour of the dog's eyes, size of their paws to the curve of its tail.
'Nowadays, many breeds are highly inbred and express an extraordinary variety of genetic defects as a consequence: defects ranging from anatomical problems, like hip dysplasia, that cause chronic suffering, to impaired immune function and loss of resistance to fatal diseases like cancer.
