Many dogs have been so heavily modifed thu.




Just look at the pug!... what the hell?...

Mmm-- Yes.  And the English Bulldog (American version).




I will also say, there are several reasons Great Danes are favorites, besides the obvious (not the subject of this thread); behavioral and intuitive.




But I agree somewhat with above; I don't like the "Greyhoundy" look that has arisen with the obsession with "Tallest", and I totally despise seeing spinal processes showing (which has become prominent enough in some lines that no amount of feeding will fix it).




My favorite Dane, the lost love of my life, was athletic and muscled enough that water could puddle in the middle of her back.
