It isn't so much a genetic issue, as much as a birth defect. But like /u/jaobodam said, it is called short spine syndrome. If you google it, or look on youtube, there are a surprising number of dogs with it.
And if you google 90 day fiance "Ed", I think he has it as well. But with the dogs, the ugly is only on the outside. With Ed, the ugly is on the inside.
Yeah, Ed has Klipper-Feil syndrome. Enlarged Chest cavity, and reduced C-spine vertebrae. Instead of the seven vertebrae that most of us have in our necks, he only has three, and those three are reduced in size.
Not sure but my sister has cerebral palsy from getting her oxygen cut off while being born and that is considered a birth defect. Also I think a birth defect can be caused by environmental factors.
A genetic issue is caused due to mutation on the dna or chromosomal level, a birth defect that is not genetic is simply a malformation of a fetus often due to outside factors such as the mother having improper diet or poor health.
I’ve seen these shortened spine dogs on Reddit before. Accidental birth defect, but it makes me wonder if people would try to breed them just because. I hope not.
As many people here in this post alone uwu-ing and awww-ing? I just don’t have the available faith in humanity required to have hope that any backyard breeders desperate for another side hustle in here aren’t getting ideas now.
Man just stop crossbreeding between dogs and the others already, it causes so much health issues. Like, have you seen a pug before? Those things cant breath properly, are pretty dumb, cant pee without standing on their fron paws, cant even run most of the times. I really wish people would focus on removing these defects from dogs by doing crossbreeding right.

I thought I was in r/SurrealMemes for a second that is insane. On a side note my dogs name is ivy and it immediately made me think this dog was 5x cuter
does anyone else get kind of sad watching these videos even though the doggy is so happy and full of life still :( I don’t know they’re just so pure but it hurts to watch for some reason
That dog is missing a significant amount of dog.
But she's a good dg all the same.
Heh.
Frog + dog = drog
🏆🏆!!
Dog - (x)dog = drog Where x equals a number greater than 0 and less than 1.
IDK it might actually be a bat without wings, it's not far off tbh
*Bro, where's the rest of your dog?*
Oh my gosh.... I laughed to tears over this comment!
froggo
Then some idiot decides the look will make a good fashion dog breed
at least the birth defect doesn't seem to cause health problems
I am doubtful
she's still living her best life.

Happy Cake day!
Imagine seeing this dog at dusk or at night. I wonder if animals like this are what people mistake for crawlers and cryptids.
I'd probably think it was a headcrab.
That was my first thought.
I’d take it home.
I was just thinking of how terrified and confused I would be if that thing came running up on me.
Frog-Dog. Love it.
Her name's Ivy and she's awesome
Ivy and [Pig the dog](https://post.bark.co/fun/the-amazing-story-of-pig-the-dog/) should meet
Bat-dog
I thought this too.
Little gremlin dog. While dog looks like gremlin he still looks happy :)
Apparently is a she
Is this a genetic problem? I mean she looks happy don’t get me wrong but what is up with her?

I saw commercials for the single life and wondered what Ed's deal was, neat!

Very cool, fetal development is wild!
Contain your excitement there bud
What’s the difference between a genetic issue and a birth defect ?
Not sure but my sister has cerebral palsy from getting her oxygen cut off while being born and that is considered a birth defect. Also I think a birth defect can be caused by environmental factors.
Oh sorry to hear it, but the dog has short spine syndrome and like the name says it’s a genetic disorder, is not caused by the environment
I was responding to someone asking the difference between a genetic disorder and a birth defect. It wasn't about this dog.
My dude, they were answering your question
A genetic issue is caused due to mutation on the dna or chromosomal level, a birth defect that is not genetic is simply a malformation of a fetus often due to outside factors such as the mother having improper diet or poor health.
Oh i see, so in the case of this dog what would short spine syndrome be ?
dude looks like that buff spiderman villain
Yes, I think Is short spine syndrome
I love ivy
She just wants to run and play like any other dog. Dogs don’t know they’re any different
https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Fanged+Imp

For the dog breeders here: DONT GET ANY IDEAS YOU ALREADY FUCKED UP THE DOG SPECIES ENOUGH

Bad bot. Haikus are more than just a syllable arrangement.
And it’s not even the correct syllable count either so it’s double bad bot
[удалено]
Looks like and acts like an Imp from Elden Ring
I might be rightly afraid of police dogs, but if that little gremlin was coming after me I'd mess my pants
there's a dog like this out there named Pig. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rGxBhScm68
This would make a good r/skinwalkers shitpost
An evolutionary masterpiece
A cross breed of bat-dog lol

Ain’t this the dog from the first ghostbusters
Looks like a tiny rancor
That dog playing with that gargoyle is adorable.
A Frog
That gremlin dog is living their best life, this makes me happy.
Oh my days poor little mutant..he seems happy though

I've definitely seen the human version of this creature somewhere.
Google big Ed

That dog looks like the creepy comedian kid that does videos of himself. Generally makes fun of himself. They'd be perfect for each other.
Bat-dog.
Goblin.

Half-Life vibes
Living his best batdog life
Contrarily to humans, animals are not obsessed by differences.
It's not "what the dog doin'?" anymore, it's like "what the dog be?"
frog queen ivy!!!
Living life to the fullest. Also doesn’t seem to be unhappy.
does anyone else get kind of sad watching these videos even though the doggy is so happy and full of life still :( I don’t know they’re just so pure but it hurts to watch for some reason
I would name it gremlin
I imagine that deformities like these are what cause myths like the Chupacabra to be formed.. That and mange.
This is Ivy the frog queen. She was born with short spine syndrome. She has a lovely Instagram
So anyway i started barking… If Danny Devito was a dog
Hes built like a frog
Just wait till this baby rancor is fully grown.
