some has, some hasn't. Personally I'm very pleased to read your comment about bread and milk as a staple in the diet; these simple, nutritious and relatively cheap foods have been maligned in parallel with the take over by ultra processed foods (coincidence?).Sorry if any of this has all been said before, I just discovered the thread and couldn't resist jumping in. I am just full of opinions when it comes to this topic!
As well as 'fashion'. The SOP for a lot of animals causes more harm than good. Breeders push that 'perfection' to the point it becomes unhealthy for the animal.
One hundred years ago, animals could breathe. Now, a lot of the flat nosed ones need surgery to be able to do this. This is NOT perfection, it's an atrocity.
I've made nutrition for my animals (more than for myself *hides head in shame*) a priority for years. I've read many reports, watched many videos, and tried to implement many changes over the years.some has, some hasn't.

There is quite a lot of good stuff in those 60+ pages (and some dross and irrelevance of course) if you can be bothered to wade through from the beginning!
That's all well and good if the human is eating a decent diet but otherwise not so much. I've seen plenty of people who feed their dogs leftover boxed mac and cheese, chickens nuggets and such. That's not fit for anyone or anything.
As it happens, dog food must be fit for human consumption in the UK (required by current regs, and some dog food manufacturers use human tasters to develop their recipes ), so these concepts are a bit blurry, at least in this country.
I have an American Foxhound, lol! An unpopular breed (so not overbred) that actually looks like a dog. And chosen specifically for those reasons.I agree, I was referring to more to genetic maladies rather than physical attributes.
The problem is that's what a lot of people want today, big eyes, domed heads, smooshed faces. Oh they're so cute! That's why the #1 most popular dog right now is the French Bulldog.
Personally I've always appreciated more natural looking and athletic type dogs.
