Chapter 9, Problem 23BS

There are now nearly 200 recognized breeds of dog, from the affenpinscher to the Yorkshire terrier. But several of these suffer from medical problems due to the inbreeding required to establish the breed. For example, nearly every Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (discussed in the Biology and Society section) suffers from heart murmurs caused by a genetically defective heart valve. Such problems are likely to remain as long as the organizations that oversee dog breeding maintain strict pedigree requirements. Some people are suggesting that every breed be allowed to mix with others to help introduce new gene lines free of the congenital defects. Why do you think the governing societies are resistant to such crossbreed mixing? What would you do if you were in charge of addressing the genetic defects that currently plague some breeds?
