Dogs are bred specifically for research. I think it is beagles in particular that are used. It is a terrible thing.
Purebred dogs are also specifically bred, but for a breed standard. Sometimes this standard is very unhealthy. In some cases it requires serious cosmetic surgery. These are cruel procedures and they need to be stopped.
Purebred cat breed standards do not permit any kind of cosmetic procedures. Some standards are a bit extreme, but cats seem to resist mutation. There is very little variation from one breed to another, when you compare it to the variations in dog breeds.
