I agree that dogs at one time dogs "had" to work and earn their keep, whether it was finding hogs, catching rabbits, finding wounded deer, or finding cattle.  Familes depended on dogs to live.  Now we drive to HEB or the local grocery store to buy food....dogs are not a necessity, as they were at one time. Why feed 4 dogs when only one was a great dog that helped the family eat.  It was feed the other 3 or feed the family.  Natural selection, cull the worthless three dogs.   I dont think there are "many" folks who now depend on dogs to live.  Maybe modernization/technology has changed the way we breed dogs.  Seems folks have adapted to one or more areas or specialties and now breed the dogs to adapt to us......
