Thanks for the article. Wish I had known this before we rescued a 6-year old Puggle. But, we probably would have taken Winston anyway. Chuckle.
Now I totally understand why he is not a good “walking” dog.
And he can’t stand warm/hot weather.
But we love him all the same….and he loves us.

I’m very serious about wanting a puppy. I presently have a Boston Terrior , he is my best friend . He is around 6 years old , very quit. No shedding . Now on the other hand I have a Jack Russell that is 2 yrs old, loud, sheds like crash, he requires a lot of attention and my Boston terrior doesn’t need any attention. But , we had a liver and white springer spaniel for 15 years, he was the best dog anyone could have ever want. So I’m llooking for a baby puppy . I love French dogs also. So if you have pupus for sale , please contact me . Hhh

We had a Cavalier recently pass away at a very decent old age, who was always very active throughout her life and could almost keep up with our Border Collie in energy levels. She always had the same amount of energy as our Border. We just bought a new Cavalier puppy and she’s in prime health, incredibly active and alert, but we did significant research before buying.

Unfortunately , a member of family has purchased a French Bulldog puppy , I tried to warn them of the possible health issues but to no avail . The insurance quotes were astronomical which should have alerted them, but it didn’t . I find it so sad , to see a five month old puppy who makes the most dreadful noise , just through normal breathing , and who cant enjoy a walk of more than five or ten minutes . Having just rehomed a little cross breed myself and then discovered her deafness , I know which one will get more out of living a normal life , so terribly sad for these brachycephalic dogs .

Loved the article. It was very informative. I own a rescue Tibetan Spaniel. No one ever includes that breed when talking about brachycephalic dogs. I understand that they are not so common as some other breeds. However I have met a half dozen other owners of Tibbies, all of whom bought their dogs from breeders. Might be good to include a mention of that breed while discussing this issue. Thanks.
