The Bizarre Truth About Purebred Dogs (and Why Mutts Are Better) - Adam Ruins Everything

oh my God look at that pug oh I want him over that you know I want him oh these are best dogs actually those are the worst dogs Adam please don't ruin this for me sorry I'm going to hi I'm Adam Conover and not only our so-called purebred dogs riddled with genetic disease but dog breeds aren't even a real thing we made them up we talked about dog breeds as though nature created them that way and as though every mutt were just a mix of different pure breeds mr. bumps is one fifth retriever one six poodle one 12 Border Collie and I can't be sure but I suspect there's some Chow in there because he drills a little but in fact mutts are dogs and they're natural healthy states and pure breeding is a form of genetic manipulation humans made up just to amuse ourselves outside of a few traditional working dogs the 90% of all dog breeds were created in just the last 100 years just to be clear I'm not enjoying learning any of this in 19th century Victorian England eugenics was all the rage and competitive dog breeding became a fad among the wealthy I made a dog with really loose skin well I made one with a super flat fucked-up face wow that is super weird isn't it stupid after these dr. Frankenstein's had played God for a while they declare their weird little monster a pure breed ha ha ha oh my newest creation is a cog II and that's all uh purebred dog is it's totally arbitrary we have a pure breed that that means like a good healthy dog nope when you hear purebred you should think inbred dad damn it Kennel Club's prohibit purebred dogs from ever mating outside their breed and often make them with their own parents and siblings one study found that 10,000 pugs have the same genetic diversity as 50 individuals making this little guy as inbred as an Austrian Duke my blood is very pure all of this inbreeding means that the average purebred dog is sicker than well the dog sixty percent of golden retrievers die of cancer a third of King Charles Spaniels have skulls that are too small for their brains Great Danes are so huge that their hearts can't support their bodies and well has four little tiny dogs have you ever seen a little tiny dog that looked happy they know there's something wrong with them and they know that we did it to them and now we come to the bulldog oh he's soaking you yeah he is if you find total genetic failure cute a hundred years ago the Bulldog was a proud breed but a century of inbreeding has ruined them their noses are so squashed they can barely breathe their heads are so big they can only give birth by caesarean section their tails can become ingrown they basically all have hip dysplasia and their average life expectancy is six years let's face it these dogs shouldn't even be alive but all over here won Best in Show yeah more like best in the Freak Show the sad part is Kennel Club's could cure all the Bulldogs problems if they just allowed them to crossbreed but they won't because then they might not look like the cute little Bulldogs everyone loves but our insistence that these dogs live up to our arbitrary standards is causing them to get sick and die as much as you love the Bulldog the fact that it exists at all is borderline animal abuse look there's an easy solution when you get a dog don't worry about what breed it is just go to your local shelter and get yourself a little puppy mutt you'll be happy healthy and 100% all-natural dog even that puppy join me next time on Adam ruins everything what I'll be talking about how giving people birthday gifts is a drain on the economy dude you shut up and play with the puppy hey guys if you like this video click bub to subscribe click 'm lick'em he wants to be clicked look at he wants to be click no he's going away so it's going away click on him click him before he gets away click all you mister Jed's

If a human were born with stumpy legs, would you breed it with another deformed human, and put their children on display, like the dachshund?

How are bull dogs cute? They all look like a dog that got chewed on by another dog.

Is he mimicking Alton Browns cadence on purpose, or is that his chubby little brother?
