Can't help but think you may have screwed that link up a bit. 
/edit Curses! Well, I still know the truth!
I feel sorry for dogs! They have been selectively bred to make the most 'attractive' specimens that they can be but at a huge cost to their genetic well being. For example, the species used in Turner and Hooch is so fucked up on a genetic level that they are seriously prone to disease and inherited conditions. The same goes for Bulldogs...if I recall correctly, the dogs with the wider, flatter faces are prized more highly than the others and are usually bred to produce offspring with even more exaggerated facial features. The only problem is that the female birth canal hasn't exactly evolved along with these changes to be able to accomodate these wide, flat faced puppies spewing out of her with great ease. Poor dawgies are put in serious discomfort when they give birth.
Anyways, I'm getting off my soap box now. I need food.
