How about addressing the problems that result from neutering puppies! I recently adopted a 110 pound, six-year-old mixed breed dog who was neutered by a rescue group at nine weeks old (he was 15 pounds at the time.) I am now his second owner. When I saw him I immediately spotted his orthopedic irregularities, most, if not all, probably due to the fact that he was neutered so young and had the growth hormones removed at such an immature age. Despite the strong possibility of serious problems in the future, I did adopt him, knowing I can afford to give him proper care. I am not against neutering or spaying, but not until the pet is mature.
My GSD is well within the breed requirements. He does not have the horrific over pronounced slope that is often seen with American limes . I blame AKC and judges for leaning toward the pronounced slope .
That is not the Bull Terrier in the “then” version, but the white terrier, the Bull Terrier’s ancestor. The “Now” Bull Terrier does not have a thick abdomen. It’s a sturdy dog with a deep breast, no breathing problems, strong and athletic. Today’s Bull Terrier is a healthy and fit dog breed. This seems as if someone has been looking for impressive old and new dog breed pictures and then tried to somehow make up something sad about the breed today.

The rest of the comparisons is correct though.
