What's wrong with Samoyeds? I understand corgis (dwarfism) and bulldogs (breathing problems) and american german shepherds (hip problems). A quick internet search didn't bring anything up regarding samoyeds and even says they have 12 - 14 life span and breed has been around for a long time.

Increased demand leads to backyard breeders who may not have any goal except for churning out puppies. Hip dysplasia and various pancreatic/liver/kidney issues should be proactively monitored for and susceptible dogs should not be bred.
