I’m generally in favor of humanity bending mother nature to our will, but when it comes to breeding dogs, we’ve gone too far (OK, also with regard to climate change).
Dog breeding is already a deeply problematic undertaking, especially when there are countless very good dogs in shelters just as deserving of a home as that little puffball of a pomsky. But then there are the dogs that simply shouldn’t exist—because all the breeding we’ve done to create them has also gifted them with innumerable health and behavior problems. Some are prone to injury. Some are hard to train. Some are simply an affront to all that is good and holy.
(Seriously, just go to the pound and get a lovable mutt. They tend to be healthier, friendlier, and just cooler overall.)
