I am a sphynx cattery, but I have two pet Munchkins and ignorant people annoy me. First of all, its a huge misconception that Munchkins are manmade. They showed up spontaneously in the wild. That means NOT manmade. Secondly, if you've ever been around one, you'd know that they can jump just as high, are just as active, even more agile, and extremely intelligent vs. a normal cat. They are not handicapped in any way, and because they came from plain old alley cats, their gene pool is so diverse that they are extremely healthy.
Dogs, such as you used in your comparison, such as Dachshunds, ARE manmade and bred down to be small and because of the line and inbreeding, do have many skeletal/back problems. This has never been found in the NATURALLY OCCURRING munchkin.
You need to know what you are talking about before lighting torches and grabbing the pitch forks.
