While I think diversity in a gene pool is of critical
importance, I also think the ultimate reason for diversity is not well understood by
dog breeders. Its primary function is that, in an ever-changing world,
diversity gives a species the ability to adapt to change. But evolutionary theory is
a little abstract for the dog breeder looking to improve the odds of a
healthy puppy.it would be assumed that unhealthy
individuals would be removed from the gene pool" is a condition that is virtually never
true. It is more correct to say that individuals that are afflicted with a
deleterious trait that appears at an early age and that is difficult to
hide are usually removed. Deleterious traits that don't satisfy both those
conditions are quite often passed on.

Dog breeders could go a long way towards improving the odds of a healthy
litter (in my ever so humble opinion) by making more of an effort to breed
older, healthy dogs.
