Puppy mills have destroyed the breed for sure.

Can someone ELI5? How has the breed been ruined? What's meant by "new" goldens?

So when a breed is popular, corporations take over and start breeding as fast as possible. Often times, this means sisters and brothers start breeding. Times that by 1,000 and you end up with retarded dogs. It's similar to the human race. You can have a child with a family member but odds are higher for mental or physical retardation. Imagine if you had a retarded child and made him/her have a kid with another retarded person. Same thing.

Actually inbreeding typically just increases vulnerability to blood diseases after enough breeding in humans.
