Feel the same way about cutting dogs' tails like Rotts.

I would love to see how well you'd handle a tapeworm or lungworm or heart worm infestation acquired from eating dog meat. Or even a proper dose of mange mites.
Some how i feel your tune would be a lot different.

Humans breed dogs for their own use, breeding in traits that are sometimes not beneficial to the animals and with overly exaggerated features that attract sales. Dog breeds have changed characteristics in just the past 100 years, some even changing the shape of the skull and jaw just to suit human preference.
Pit bulls were created by by humans by selectively breeding bulldogs and terriers together to produce a dog that combined the gameness and agility of the terrier with the strength of the bulldog. They were often originally used for game fighting.

Other canids do survive without human input, but their survival is a short one in comparison to that of a cared for domestic canine or even a cared for wild one. On average a wild wolf would have an average lifespan of about 4-7 years before dying from injury, disease, starvation or freezing to death. Some wolves kept in captivity have lived as long as 12-15 years.
What you described is commonplace and usually to the detriment of the breeds affected. But also sometimes to the benefit of some of them to help them do the job they were bred to do better. I do admit that breeding for cosmetic traits such as color, head shape/size, eye color & to produce over/under sized dogs is usually a useless endeavor as many health issues do arise from these practices. This is why there are so many GSD's with hip & knee problems, and so many Dobe's with wobblers.
A little known fact though, the original bull & terriers were working dogs, not only bred for fighting but also for hunting & livestock protection. Hunters wanted dogs that were physically strong but not overly large, that could hunt both small and medium-large game, & that would possess the prey drive, speed & agility of the terrier & the strength, aggression, tenacity & pain tolerance of the bull breed.
