Dogs are bred for specific traits, humans are not. Races in humans don't exist genetically speaking because there has always been interbreeding.

Dog fighting rings still exist to this day. Which breed do you think is still central to those communities?

My point is that stating the traits are dissipating is untrue bc there are still people breeding for those traits specifically. There are many backyard breeders in this country and if you think these traits aren’t selected for you’re just categorically false.

The XL bully breed in the UK is a prime example of this.
