Without going too much into the kennel club bashing the BBC doc Pedigree dogs exposed gave several examples of how some breeds looked even just 40 years ago (e.g. Bassett Hound with longer legs and hardly any skin folds). The rate of change we have created in a very short time is scary and in most cases produces some detrimental side effect to the animal.

Well if it helps go to

Cambridge university and put in

Inherited diseases in dogs database.

It is David Sagans effort very very good. Has sub sections of each genetic problem for more info where you can research it in more detail it would probably allow just about your whole effort to be written from that
