Yes they look cute perhaps but they have a very big problem that can be terminal way sooner than you think. |
Very good points! I have also seen, even just on here, many people that have more problems with the dog's eyes when they are wider set and more protruding...problems with infections and ulcers. (Again, also issues more commonly associated with brachiocephalic breeds.) Not to mention the with the rounder heads are going to present more problems and higher risks of c-sections when they are passing though the birth canal.
