Bulldog-ellende
Waarom je dit soort exemplaren aan zou schaffen is me echt een raadsel. En de eigenaresse die zich dan afvraagt of hondje een fijn leven kan leiden (ik wou er lijden van maken )

Re: Bulldog-ellende
“ Number of animals affected
The exact numbers affected are not known, but it is considered a common problem in French bulldogs and other brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds that have screw-tails. Selection for screw tails, which are caused by deformed vertebrae, has the unintended consequence of causing deformity higher up the spine also. Screw tail describes a tail which, in its relaxed position, is coiled, usually to one side.”
