    Breeding dogs, or the inbreeding story is sad...in that in the quest for that perfect breed, they are doing more harm to the dogs than good.

    And for that fella that bought that insect off of eBay...I bet the seller is cursing himself out now!!!

    Yes, a very disturbing story about the 'dog inbreeding', I mean why would you breed a dog that has a skull too small for its brain ? Im surprised that the owners are aloud to get away with this ie putting their dogs through a huge amount of pain etc.. Terrible.
    The eBay story was weird wasnt it ? A new species sold via the online auction site ... wow !
