I do not like the argument that they're trying to "improve" the breed. There are so many animals with health problems because of this. This is what I'm talking about: https://dogbehaviorscience.wordpress.com/2012/09/29/100-years-of-breed-improvement/
I have issues with people that would knowingly breed these animals with lifelong health problems because they're "cute" or because it's their "namesake". It's not just dogs, either; Scottish flop cats live their almost their whole lives in pain because the of the flop in their ears. Micro pigs are purposely underfed and malnourished when they're bred so people will say "how cute!" Roan and Dalmation pigs are bred because they're cute, but produce lethal whites with so many health problems.
