Tried this, didn't like it, just ended up being a fight to get under the water.

Surely we selectively bred dogs with eyes that were appealing.

Indeed we did...

This is well known. Babies eyes have evolved to glisten and be more appealing as if you are cute you are less likely to be eaten.

It just gets a boner......
Don't mention showering with your dog. Somebody on here did, but I think he got away with it.
And hence the cracking phrase now in every day use of dog nonce was born

Still evolution in that the species gradually evolves over time. Just the mechanism is different. With Natural Selection the trend is that some individuals who after random genetic mutations will have characteristics or behaviour that makes them more likely to survive and breed. They will tend to pass on their advantageous characteristics through their genes. With Artificial Selection the controlling agent is humans that selectively breed to promote characteristics that appeal to us, as in dogs and roses... and possibly to some extent also within humans.

Well call it artificial selection then. Nah. Not having it I'm afraid.
Whether breeding scientifically counts as an evolutionary process or not be damned but I just think it's a gross misuse of the word, evolution. Taken to it's logical conclusion we have a Liger which is a product of two animals that would never meet in the wild. Breed enough of them and you get a new species nthat could exist of it's own accord in the wild but no one would say that the Liger was a product of evolution...shirly.

Cats are much cleverer.
Mine when he looks at me I can just see his brain working, planning out his next cunning attack, thinking he knows it all.
Well he is in for a surprise next time, I'm telling you.

It's just my humble opinion. That it's poor form to call a Liger, or even an English Bulldog in it's present form (getting back to dogs), with it's sad eyes, loveable saggy skin, squashed face and accompanied breathing difficulties a product of evolution.
Facts be damned.

The lad who invented them apparently was saved from going off a road by his headlights being reflected back from a cat’s retinas. If the cat had been walking the other way he wouldn’t have made so much money patenting the tea towel holder.

Cats are brilliant. They laze about all day then at night they say. 'I'm gonna do me job and be a cat'.
