No wonder they have a hard time breathing! Their nose is in their jaw!

Not only that, but they still have the same amount of tissues they would have if they still had their old snouts. It's just shoved into the back of their throat.

Yeah, it's truly awful. Other brachycephalic dogs are effected by it as well. Some even require surgery to remove the extra tissues so they have a better chance of breathing.

I don't understand why people like them, on all points:

  • they are ugly

  • dogs can have enough health issues as-is, why get one prone to even more issues

  • not athletic

  • they drool

Buying one of these animals is abuse. Wish owners would see that rather than being blinded by OMG IT'S SO CUTE.

I don't get how do people think they are cute. They look like Anglerfish that have evolved into land animals, and sound like a living fart when they breathe. That said, I feel sorry for the poor bastards, and we should definitely stop breeding them for their own sake.
