Yeah; "not held to breed standard" working dog breeds/types that still help herd sheep or whatever will last so long as their jobs do, but show-winning purebred dogs whose whole existence is about looks and pedigree and exclusivity are so often insanely expensive bundles of neuroses and health issues that even if I had the money, I'd rather adopt.

And if I had serious money, I might throw some at the breeders working to undo the effects of decades of (in)breeding to standards that doom whole breeds to short lives full of pain. Eyes that pop out, heart problems, cancer, breathing problems, brachiocephalic breeds being delivered by c-section because we've recreated the human "hips too narrow for big heads" problem in dogs, hip dysplasia, skulls too narrow for brains causing lifelong headaches...

If breeders aren't working to give the breeds they steward back their quality of life, they deserve to go broke, and kennel clubs can preserve frozen sperm and ova of extinct breeds or something until someone wants to actually fix those problems.

Working dogs are insanely expensive too, but for good reason! And the most important things are still health and intelligence, not a horrific and unethical breed standard.
