The first 15 minutes suck but I tell you that is a really good documentary full of information. I thought I was pretty informed on breeding but the whole eugenics compenent ... gez. The continuous affirmation of genetically sick animals with best of breed awards. The information on Rhodesian ridgebacks, pugs, bulldogs, bassets and pictures of the breed 100 years ago and what is deemed best in breed now....holy crap.

I was given a Boston Terrier as a gift a bazillion years ago...he was such a sick dog--I named my credit card after him and ended up putting him down due to the pallet issue pug nosed dogs have. I've had one purebred dog---I will never ever have another.

The denial of people regarding the genetics and the ability of these people to turn a blind eye just amazes me...really really amazes me!
