My concern, of course, is for the Border Collies, but surely there are other breeds that are being tampered with also..<br />Janet KoehlerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307306929667026270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672816027548497434.post-11526478884101326362010-10-11T16:27:31.434-07:002010-10-11T16:27:31.434-07:00Wow.

It's bizarre to watch that graceful, elegant dog evolve into the longer back, the longer stifle, the shorter hocks, the heavier body, the proportions getting stranger and stranger as they go. Then the topline starts changing, the rear end start sinking, the tail sags to hang in an un-animated droop ... The final dogs look like something that survived a car accident. Barely.<br /><br />How could anyone in their right mind think this evolution is a good thing? GAH! It's sickening and saddening to watch.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this, Amelia.<br />Cheers ~<br /><br />GloriaG. M.

The AKC lines are even more damaged than these dogs. WHAT are people thinking???
