UK – Dog shows will mark down French bulldogs bred with extremely flat faces that risk their health in new measures being introduced by The Kennel Club.
The dog welfare organisation has introduced stringent rules on breeding standards and updated its guidance in an effort to tackle the growing problem of ‘Frenchies’ being bred with ‘deformed’ features to make them look ‘cute’.
Under the new rules, which were introduced yesterday, the brachycephalic breed will need to display a well-defined muzzle that should also ‘be clearly viewed in profile’.
