azskyrider,
Hopefully you will be equally quick to give praise to the science of genetics when you see people who would have been blind, now being able to see; people with terrible birth defects, and life-time illnesses, now going thru life normally, and people who need new life supporting body organ replacements, now being able to find healthy, and long term solutions.

I think the Taliban, and fundamental Moslems, and the like, have also taken a strong stance against such modern science. And they obviously know what they are talking about.

These dogs are bred to be hairless so that people with cronic allegies to animal hair and dandruff, can experience the enjoyments of having a dog as a lifetime pet and friend. Also remember that a dog's DNA ,is more than 98% exact with that of us human beings!

But, you guys are right,... they ain't the prettiest flower in the garden.
