I wonder if dogs can smell or otherwise tell if a partner will have long term health. In reference to your words above, I mean in terms of the breeding that causes these problems; I wonder if given the choice they would breed with another of the same ilk or choose a partner with a healthier potential?

If certain breeds of dog were self aware , I wonder if they'd consider all the spinal problems, arthritis, breathing difficulties and cancers in return for warmth and food worth it?
