Should dog breeding be banned?

Genetic diseases are rife among pedigree dogs following years of inbreeding for shows like Crufts, a BBC documentary reveals. The traits rewarded in such shows are causing breathing problems, epilepsy and a condition where dogs’ skulls are too small for their brains. Should more strict restrictions be placed on the breeding of dogs? Share your thoughts.
