I think if a animal is so deformed it cant walk correctly, or inbreeding has led to it having massive health issues. That should be disqualifying. The point shouldn't be just to breed to a look no matter the cost, health should be a major factor. A breed of animal that looks pretty but is prone to blindness for instance, should be disqualified, and that propensity for blindness should be bred out of the bred as aggressively as they breed for long hair or whatever.

I think you’re on the right track. You have some details wrong i.e. inbreeding doesn’t cause health issues. I’m not sure what you mean by disqualifying a breed or what breed is “prone to blindness”. I do know that some breeds have color varieties that carry problem recessive genes. Collie people for instance don’t cross two merles together but it’s safe to cross a merle with a sable. People who buy puppies need to do health research before buying and insist on only buying from mature and certified healthy dogs.. Buyer and seller have a responsibility. If this happened there would be a lot fewer health problems.
