Concerns for the welfare of brachycephalic breeds, including the Bulldog, have been the subject of much debate over the past several years. Based upon Kennel Club registrations, the Bulldog is considered a popular dog in the UK and US among the community of purebred dog enthusiasts. Demand for these dogs has led to production of pups by less than scrupulous breeders who are not operating under the umbrella or direction of Kennel and Breed club health improvement program recommendations.
Health management and breeding strategies constructed by Kennel and Breed clubs are focused on identifying the prevalence of and effective methods to address key health concerns in the breed. In some cynological organizations Breed Standard wording has been clarified to minimize the acceptability of extreme traits. Never-the-less, in 2020 legislative action was taken by the Netherlands government to regulate breeding of Brachycephalic breeds with the goal to enhance health and welfare. Additional legislative processes are underway in several other countries in Europe, most recently in Norway.
It is hoped the information in this article will assist all stakeholders to see the Big Picture - internationally - for the Bulldog. The information should help the veterinary community to guide clients and to educate potential owners in determining whether a Bulldog is the right breed for them. Sourcing of puppies from breeders who practice critical, rational, logical thinking about breeding decisions focused on health and welfare of the dogs produced and kept as companions is an important pre-purchase consideration for anyone with an interest in obtaining a Bulldog. However, more than one research study has shown that people who are attracted to the appearance and character of Bulldogs, do not prioritize health when they are acquiring one of these dogs, and, in spite of serious and costly veterinary care, as well as suffering for the dog and the owner, many indicate that they would purchase another one. Why do people choose the dogs they do - and what is the impact on dog health and welfare?
