You are trying to justify one strand of unethical behaviour (how humans have bred dogs) with another. Not sure that holds up.

My ethical framework agrees with you, but ethics, like everything, are relative.

Isn't it similar to how dogs have been bred to (apparently) enjoy hunting for us and guarding our property?
