他们和爱因斯坦一样，因自己的发明而后悔

    7．拉布拉多贵宾犬

    20世纪80年代末期，沃利•康伦在拉布拉多犬和贵宾犬的基础上培育出了拉布拉多贵宾犬。但他却为自己引发的育犬热感到后悔。去年他对美联社表示：“我搞了许多破坏……我带来了很多问题……有很多不健康和被遗弃的狗无家可归。”

    康伦早在20年前就停止繁育拉布拉多贵宾犬，但这并未阻碍它非常火爆地流行开来。康伦批评很多犬舍肆无忌惮地培育犬种的做法：“他们不是通过培育解决问题，而是通过培育造成问题。每完成一个完美的育种，背后都有很多疯狂的育种。”

    7.Labradoodle

    Wally Conron, the breeder who created the labradoodle (a mix of labrador and poodle) in the late 1980s, regrets having created a designer dog craze. Last year he told the Associated Press, “I’ve done a lot of damage...I’ve created a lot of problems...There are a lot of unhealthy and abandoned dogs out there.”

    Conron stopped breeding them 20 years ago, but their popularity has boomed. Conron criticized puppy mills with unscrupulous that breeding practices. “Instead of breeding out the problems, they’re breeding them in. For every perfect one, you’re going to find a lot of crazy ones.”
