Another interesting thing is that cats have not responded to similar breeding programmes anywhere nearly as well. They are all pretty much the same size, their fur doesn't grow as long, and it has taken until quite recently to breed the short-legged munchkin cat (which I deplore).
That sound horrible. It's a shame that people abuse dogs so much just to make them look "better" in their eyes.
