When people say "eugenics = breeding", they're not only ignoring the history of eugenics, but also implying that making value judgements about dogs is precisely equivalent to doing it for humans

Actually, you are the one dodging the question. There are obviously traits that could be bred - the point is without any selection what is "selective" breeding? Can you breed selectively without ever considering the selection?
