The entire reproduction process starts with 1 thing. Selection of a mate. This selection can be through natural selection, or artificial selection. Artificial selection is very beneficial when breeding animals, such as goats. My uncle got 3 nanny goats about a year ago. Before he bought them, he made sure that they had been bred with a boer billy goat, because that is the type of goat that he wanted from the mother, because she too was a boer goat. He wanted boer goats because they are supposed to make good meat goats, and good mothers as well. So while artificial selection is beneficial for many things, such as farming, natural selection as it's advantages. When dogs breed, as long as you are not looking for a pure bred outcome, it is always interesting to let them breed themselves, and see what the tiny puppies come out looking like, in comparison to their mother. This type of selection brings excitement and diversity into the litter of puppies.

Artificial selection is very beneficial for providing yourself with a specific outcome. If you just want a general outcome, or a random outcome, let natural selection happen.
