The British Veterinary Association has urged people against buying flat-faced dog breeds. Because of their flat faces, these dogs can have respiratory issues such as difficulty breathing/wheezing, eye problems such as protruding eyes and dental problems, like overcrowded and overlapping teeth and an underbite. In 2022, concerns about health issues led courts in Norway to ban the breeding of Bulldogs and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, calling it a violation of the Norwegian Animal Welfare Act. Similar bans on some brachycephalic breeds are being considered in the U.K. Veterinary associations in Canada and Australia have called for more selectivity when breeding brachycephalic dogs and more pet owner education around potential health risks.Do you think breeding this type of dog should be banned? Yes
