New Retriever
If scientist made a retriever, would it look like this? He has no hair so he wont shed.
.
He can walk upright and so wade out into the water to pick up ducks. He has good vision.
.
Somebody is apt to find that to be an improvement -look at all the other ridiculous things dog breeders have called 'improvements",
.
like turning nice spaniels into walking hair mops, and the lower jaw on bulldogs.
