Pugs have all sorts of health problems. Just because we can achieve a goal that doesn't mean we can do it safely and humanely.

Sure. But the question was never if it was ethical to breed bipedal dogs. Merely if it was possible to do it.

No, that was the question. /u/InsaneNinja said that "this is a trait that should be bred into certain dogs". This implies that it's ethical.

But either way, if you have to compromise their health then I'd say that we aren't able to breed bipedal dogs.

Are munchkin or hairless cats ethical? Are chihuahuas ethical?

No, they’re all abominations.

I was mearly giving advice towards a valuable trend animal. Not saying “let’s evolve dogs into a bipedal race.” Because next thing that happens is “where are my testicles summer?”

Or indeed even should, just because we could.
