That being said, I can see why they do it (feather tail)- they look stunning IMO. And as long as it produces a trait that others like, I doubt it will go away.

Actually, it is english bull dogs who cannot give birth. They always need a c-section. French bulldogs are too top heavy to mate on their own... they have slightly difficult births but it is still heard of for natural births...
Arabians are being so badly inbred, I knew one who was a top show horse whose insides were unable to stay properly in their place. Sad, right? Therefore they sutured everything to his sides.... ouch :S
