Dog genetics is a very complex thing.

You can try and improve one thing and wind up making something else exponentially worse.

It sucks.

This is an accurate statement. Breeding is not exactly as cut and dry as people sometimes think it is, and sometimes it’s not as simple as just bringing in or eliminating dogs, either. The only good thing is with scientific advances, there are certain genetic tests you can have done to determine if dogs have or are carriers of certain things, but not all diseases/issues are a simple dominant/recessive.
