"Breeding For Purpose: The importance Of Selection Pressure In Dogs"

The discussion covers the importance of selection pressure in breeding dogs, particularly for working and functional traits rather than just cosmetic appearance. Veto emphasizes that successful breeders must focus on selecting for the dog's ability to perform its intended purpose, rather than just breeding for looks or show standards.

He provides examples of how certain breeds like pit bulls and greyhounds have been selected almost exclusively for their functional abilities, resulting in consistent temperament and performance. In contrast, breeds like the English bulldog have been heavily selected for exaggerated physical traits, leading to health and structural issues.

Veto shares his own experience with American bulldogs, and how he has had to carefully manage the influence of English bulldog genetics in the breed to maintain health, breathing, and functionality. He discusses the challenges of balancing different selection pressures and how outcrossing, line breeding, and inbreeding have been tools in his efforts to improve the breed.

The conversation highlights the importance of understanding a breed's history and purpose, as well as the breeder's personal selection goals, in order to make informed decisions about breeding programs. Veto's emphasis is on producing dogs that are healthy, stable, and able to perform their intended work, rather than just conforming to an arbitrary appearance standard.
