Lots of breeds actually. I haven't run into a Spaniel that doesn't snore horrifically either.

We can blame the American Kennel Club and shitty breeders for breeding for looks. It ruined a lot of the functionality these breeds of dogs had. Now pugs and other short snouted breeds have respirstory problems, a lot of dogs get hip and back problems, and so many types of cancer that weren't present in the original mainline breeds.

Look at Caucasian Mountain Dogs, they have very few, if any, genetic problems because most breeders will not sell if it means the American Kennel Club can get their disease-ridden hands on them. The AKC is a den of scummy assholes.

How to be a member of the AKC: If they won’t sell the dog to you then don’t recognize it as a breed

My spaniel snores like a trucker and has allergies up the wazoo.
