    So then we just let them loose to procreate on their own? Or you saying we should just let the breeds humans create die out, and let the wolves thrive naturally in our society?

      Yes, we loose them to procreate on their own. “Pure-breeding” often leads to many genetical defects. Dog breeds are not genetically distant enough to he considered species; “mutts” are real dogs.

        I think that’s an even worse idea. It wasn’t always a good thing, but those dogs have bad traits that we are aware of, and know how to fix through proper fixing dames to studs. We can systematically remove problem breeds that way so that they are healthy, well rounded dog breeds created by a design to undo all of the errors of designer dogs and stupid ass “dog trainers” for fighting has done.

        Good breeders know to keep their genetic stock wider and look out for resessive traits, etc. They’re not the same as puppy farms.
