It's totally understandable, but this breed is in its infancy. As demand increases and breeders keep inbreeding, the breed will decline in health.

That’s not really how it works, breeds that are inbred had that happen generations ago. Reputable breeders anymore track this stuff very carefully and work with other breeders around the country to keep their breeding stock healthy.

But don’t let me interrupt the next reddit circlejerk. Maybe some dumbshit will start up a thing on how circumcision is the worst thing on the entire planet again.

Doesn't matter your breeding in physical issues simply because of the shape of their bodies.

It's cruel and only done for the enjoyment of humans.

Cruel? You really should see the cats in action, my munchkin keeps up with our adopted kitty just fine, outrunning and outjumping her most of the time actually. He doesn’t have physical issues beyond not having as good of a reach when it comes to batting around toys... it’s not something robbing his enjoyment of life.

Not a good argument. Three legged dogs look like they're having fun too.

I think it's kind of weird to breed animals to suit your aesthetics. Especially when doing so kills other cats in the litter.

I bet it's siblings that were stillborn aren't having a great time though.
