How about not breeding dogs to their own detriment? I suspect dogs will have no problems self-selecting mates and having pups.

- flir 3y agoWill there be selection pressure, too? I imagine you'd end up with something a lot like the dingo - a lightweight opportunistic hunter/scavenger.
- graphe 3y agoWhat about food animals? That's what domestication does.

- shiroiuma 3y agoSelecting breeding is what made dogs into creatures useful for people somehow, whether for working (herding etc) or as pets. Without breeding, you just get wild animals unsuited for human companionship. However, I still agree with you: I think selective breeding of dogs is wrong. If they don't make good companion animals as they are naturally, then maybe people shouldn't try to turn them into such animals.
