Not sure if this has been discussed before, but if you know Pops, ... it really don't matter.

However, with all of the health issues / problems dogs seem to be having, which may or may not be cured with the many present dog foods available to us.

How did the dogs (prior to our present time) survive, say a hundred years an beyond, say to the ice age? .... Well may be not as far back as the ice age, but you know what I mean?

I see a lot of problems in purebred dogs. Purebred dogs didn't exist then.

They ate what was available. There is a difference between optimal nutrition and enough to be kept alive. With better nutrition and medical care, it is probable that the life span has been extended in our domestic pets just like in people. That brings a whole new set of diseases and problems associated with aging that probably didn't happen as often in years past.
