Lapdogs have been around for thousands of years. It's only very recently that they've been bred so extremely that they can't breathe.

Thousands of years ago they were dogs, not fashion accessories.

Yes, I'm pretty sure they were still dogs. No crippling deformities.

(edit: but if you need to filter "anecdotal" evidence, just add "in the western world, in modern history"?)
