In britain the pug has a extreamly small gene pool. I think i read on one site that every breeding (no matter how distant in the pedigree) is the equivilent of first cousin - first cousin matings

My other breed is the Czechoslovakian Vlcak. We have a very small gene pool and are a very recently developed breed (1955)... we have excellent records, though, as well as some super software to maintain pedigrees and calculate inheritance of "wolf blood" and other things. You can check that out at Wolfdog.org

Many purebreeds developed from a handful of dogs. After WWII there were about 11 mastiffs left in the UK.
We will probably see more and more "old" breeds dying out in the next couple decades unless things change in the dog world. There is less interest in preservation, and more interest in $$. Look at the Labradoodle.
Actually, after 30 years as a "fad breed", and due to the interest in "spin off breeds", and the altering of bust dogs,etc, I'd say that "real deal" American pit bulls have a VERY small gene pool, and getting smaller every day. Restoration isgoing to be tough.
