We know some dog breeds suffer. So why do we keep buying them?

i so wanted a british bulldog once as in my childhood (when i was under 5) my mum n dad had one.
had it not been for the cost for a pup, $1500+ at the time i most likely would have had one.
i chose a beagle instead, still expensive at $600 for a pub.
learned a lesson in the complications of in breeding when my little beagle had to be put to sleep at 2 years old due to a deformed spine that caused the spinal cord to be squashed causing seveer pain to her.
sad those in control of the dog showing/beeding system dont put dog health at the top of the list of traits to be bred into dogs (or cats)
its another reason i love greyhounds so much, they are purposly bred to be the healthiest dog possible, the fact they are perfect in every other way was pure luck.
