Can you help me with my study on dogs?

Inbreeding does not "cause" health problems. The problems are caused by the poor selection of breeding stock regardless of the breeding system.

And the lack of health tests.

Umm what about inbreeding depression?

Breeding coefficient has been mentioned already.

Then your selection is not correct.

There are many examples of successful inbreeding. Google Chillingham Wild Cattle for a start. No health tests or inbreeding depression there.

Come to London Chiffy! They, Westies and pugs, are absolutely everywhere. The dogs of the day
