Probably some people imagine that the time machine exists, and that by using it they could have the opportunity to visit distant times. It is a dream that many people would like to make come true, since they could observe the day when America was discovered or take a walk through the room of the Imperial Forum in ancient Rome.
And although despite time it seems that people did not change much in appearance, There is something that you surely do not expect to be found and this is the appearance of certain breeds of dogs that are currently known.
Top 6 dog breeds and their evolution in these years
The dog, the most faithful friend of the human being has gone through many changes, and it is not necessary to go too far to find out, since only about 100 years ago certain breeds, which we have the habit of observing, they were totally different from how they are now.
All with the aim of not lose each of the attributes that your lineage has through crosses between grandchildren and grandparents, or even with siblings, thus creating what today are known as pedigree or purebred dogs. Unfortunately, this is something that will never turn out as one expects it, since when crossing dogs that belong to the same family, a variety of health problems have been caused in certain breeds.
Scottish Terrier
This is a breed that originates from the highlands of Scotland, and of which its appearance at present is due to the crosses made by the breeders in Abendeen. In images of a dog of this breed that belong to the year 1859, you can see a dog that looks nothing like the one you usually see.
The first thing where you see the difference is that the dog of that time had much longer legs and a shorter muzzle. Likewise, this is a breed that is very likely to suffer many health problems, due to the morphological changes that it has had to experience over the years.
English bull terrier
El English bull terrier It is a dog that was born from all the effort made by James Hinks to obtain a breed that was perfect. This person from Ireland he dedicated every day of his life to making crosses between different races, as in the case of the English White Terrier, or what was then the bulldog to create a dog strong enough to fight a bull, while maintaining a very elegant appearance as well as pretty.
However, he got something totally different from what you are used to seeing today. With the years, the skull of this dog was deformed and the size was reduced even being much smaller than it was at that time, since it had a body of many muscles and much stronger, however this is a dog that is part of the breeds that have been considered potentially dangerous.
As a result of all these experiments, it is a very prone dog to suffer from skin diseases or suffer serious visual problems, in the ears or even severe heart problems.
Poodle or poodle
The poodle we often know as a poodle, It is one of the dog breeds that has a rather uneven origin, since it is thought that it comes from an Asian country, specifically from being a shepherd dog. There are two theories regarding the arrival of these dogs to Europe.
The first of these is through the Berbers to North Africa, which when crossing to the European continent was within the Muslim invasion in what was the XNUMXth century in areas of the Iberian Peninsula.
The second of these is through the invasion by the Goths into GermanyThis being the most possible theory due to the large number of bas-reliefs that were found within the German country.
These genetic changes that the dog had to undergo have made it a dog that can be found in different sizess, from a mini to a very large one. But apart from this, they are more likely to suffer from cataracts, stomach twisting, epilepsy, or even cataracts.
Boxer
In what was the XNUMXth century, Georg Alt made an attempt to develop a breed starting from a Bullenbeisser dog from Brabant, but which he crossed with a dog of the English bulldog breed, thus managing to obtain a boxer named Flocki.
When making this cross between both dogs, various changes occurred, as in the case of the ears that have a pointed shape and also in the muzzle, which over the years it has undergone modifications, to become a dog with a flat face and ears that are lowered.
The boxer is a dog that you may suffer from diseases that affect your heart or they may also suffer from torsion of the stomach. On the other hand, due to the changes that have occurred in the muzzle, it constantly suffers from breathing problems and also from dizziness due to the hot temperatures.
German shepherd
Among the breeds of dogs that have had to go through many changes in this century, the german shepherd is one of them, and it is so much so that they could be distinguished as one that can participate in beauty competitions and those that can be used as working dogs, although the only thing that did not change too much has been the size.
Currently a dog that belongs to this breed, usually weighs about 38 kilos, but in ancient times these did not weigh more than 25 kilos. They have great agility and great strength that gives them the opportunity to jump up to 2,5 meters high.
Changes in the German Shepherd have made it a dog very prone to disease, as in the case of hip dysplasia, various problems that affect their spine, so that when they reach old age they do not have much strength for mobility.
The pug or also called pug
This was a dog destined for royals in china, for what was the XNUMXth century BC, specifically they were exclusively for the emperors until after almost a thousand years, at the time that merchants from Holland began trade to China on what was the Silk Road.
In all these years the pug went through many changes as in the case of his noseSince it is quite flat, the legs are much shorter and the tail is much more curled. However, due to all this they are dogs that constantly suffer from breathing and the heat can make them dizzy.
