  • Oh, these puppies are very sick, no dispute here. Their gait is completely abnormal, beyond exaggerated, and totally unacceptable. Or to stay in show breeders jargon, they are "overly typey". What we seem to ignore sometimes is that "type" more often than not is just a latent form of selecting for a malformation. And since you always get a (Gaussian) range distribution around the targeted 'norm', some offspring will exhibit too much of a given feature and appear extreme; all just statistical genetics really. And when the "desired" feature is already far in the ridiculous zone, then you end up with a bunch of very sick puppies.
