Leaders in research at the University of Cambridge, Dr Sargan, Dr Liu and Dr Ladlow provide viewers with an insight as to what Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome is, how it affects brachycephalic breeds (short-nosed dogs e.g. Pugs/Bulldogs/French Bulldogs) and the signs and symptoms owners/potential owners should be aware of.
A full resource is available for FREE on the Kennel Club Academy, which also provides those in the veterinary profession with the tools to diagnose the condition before it progresses into its severe stages.

I have an even simpler solution: Demand that the breed standards be revised to stop requiring engineered deformities like stenotic nares, screw tails, and nose ropes, and make dogs with functional muzzles preferred over the flat faces.
The Blue Jay They literally just said that maybe serious conditions in dogs shouldn’t be so normalised and that their health should be prioritised and you said you hope they get bitten because? They look cute? You’re just salty? I’m genuinely curious as to your reasoning because I have to say you definitely don’t come out looking like the reasonable one in this scenario
@@_BlueJayWay jesus, you sound absolutely pathetic. quite a long rant for someone who abhors "bitching at people with different opinions" lmao
@@_BlueJayWay god knows you certainly need an adult to do it for you.
@@_BlueJayWay Your hopes are malicious and misguided
@@_BlueJayWay Your hopes are confusing too, considering your more recent statement
This is an odd comment, but her voice is very soothing. The vet.
She is an angel..

If there was less irresponsible breeding that would be helpful. Responsible breeders health test for a reason. BOA testing is common in the UK but hasn't made it to the U.S. yet, sadly. It needs to become more common to test in the U.S.
Wrong. If you select for heterozygotous working dogs you do not need health tests. Lots of health tests are a sign of bad breeding.
@@franzk9376 congratulations, you won Most Ignorant Comment on CZcams today.
Yes it does
It's coming now - look up the Respiratory Function Grading Scheme by OFA (led by the same vet in this video)
I know these dogs are cute.. but imagine struggling to breathe your whole life 😭 breeders need to do better
Nothing cute about dog that suffering
@@mhdfrb9971 Absolutely not. Breeders ought to put a clothes~peg on their noses and a clip holding their mouth closed, and be asked to run.. Then they's know how it might feel to be unable to breathe freely.
@@mhdfrb9971 well the appearance is cute just not the nose
I own a rescue chihuahua and Chihuahuas are brachesphalic as well people say to me ahh the notice he makes sounds cute I tell them it's not cute
The more inbred (AKC approved for some reason) Apple head chihuahuas can be brachycephalic. The deer head chihuahuas are actually more natural and should be the promoted look of chihuahuas. Also, I may be overweight. A lot of people I breed too much to get chi too small and people often don’t understand they don’t eat more than 1/8 cup meals and shouldn’t weigh more than 6-7 pounds lean.
I own a rescue deer head chihuahua and he’s so quiet I forget he’s there. No breathing issues, no snoring. He is 6 lbs and slightly taller than most Apple head chihuahuas I’ve seen. The Apple head are also more prone to hydrocephalus. But deer head and even the Apple head chihuahuas live up to 20 years. That is healthy compared to the 6 year average of pugs, bulldogs, and French bulldogs. I don’t find snoring cute (in people or in dogs). Obviously, with age, most things snore. But puppies and young adults should not be snoring unless there is something wrong (overweight or brachycephalic)
I have had many chihuahuas and none have had breathing difficulties. Then again none were baby doll chihuahuas which are deliberately bred for short noses. Not a good thing. 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
@@JDMimeTHEFIRST There are no "deerheads" or "pearheads" or whatever such nonsense backyard breeders have come up with and spread around on social media/badly sourced articles. There is only ONE type of head, and every breed standard/desc (contrary to the TON of misinformation that appears first on google along with pages of dogs from more backyard bred situations like merle/exotic bullies/doodles) states that is is apple-LIKE. Their muzzles aren't supposed to be very long. Seeing that can tip you off right away that the dog comes from someone that didn't know what they were doing who outcrossed to dachshunds or italian greyhounds or whatever hypertype they had on hand. They're allowed slight variations but overall "There should be no suggestion of an expression that resembles a Pug or a Toy Manchester Terrier." The longer muzzles are weak in bone substance + prone to tooth disease/decay and worse, as we've seen many, many times - the lower jaw fails to form and you get the dogs with the tongue sticking out (maybe even missing a front leg or two). A chihuahua head needs balance; they're supposed to be hardy small dogs. As the vid above shows, it's not always about muzzle length. Chihuahuas are unfortunately among the top most backyard bred breeds, being #2 in most euthanized. Amateur breeders who don't bother to health test or breed away from extreme types/disease have gotten real good at using show lingo to fool people into believing that there's different kinds to get away with whatever low quality mutts they're producing that they dump on the general public, whether it be through overcharging ignorant ppl or whatever they dump on/sell to rescues (through auctions).

People need to realize brachycephalic dogs aren't "cute". They have a crap ton of health problems not only when it comes to breathing. It's disgusting.
A lovely long legged long nosed dog is much better. Thank goodness my favourite breeds {or rather type} are not popular...It would be a tragedy if they were popular. Popularity leads to suffering/puppy farming.
@@wuffwuff8638 Long legged crossbreeds don't suffer..they can run and breathe. Short faces cause massive problems, as do long backs, or any extreme. Dogs left to own devices never have short flat faces, these are so recessive they are lost almost immediately with outcrossing .
@@wuffwuff8638 Any animal can suffer from cancer..It is just the wild ones die much sooner as they are unable to hunt. Long legged long snouted dogs [and moggy cats] are much healthier than the squish faced ones, and much cheaper to insure.
@@wuffwuff8638 I only have rescued dogs/animals, and they have a bloody good life...better than most people. maybe yours live a life of pain, mine definitely don't.
Annabelle AMEN!!❤❤Spot on in all your answers!!! As you can tell by my avatar I own a bracephalic breed dog (I have two Boston Terriers). One has a few symptoms of BOAS but she's also slightly overweight. My fault. My male Boston is in perfect shape but just had surgery for cancer removal. I'm concerned about both.
If the kennel clubs would require boaz testing before being able to breed that would kill off all the bybs that don’t care what they are breeding
good thing that she realizes that she's wrong but 9:00 WTF? That mentality is too common and fucked up. If my dog was struggling to breathe I would feel awful that humans did this to her by selective breeding. But I am never buying any brachy dogs.
these dogs need a HARNESS NOT A COLLAR. jeez. collars on small dogs and dogs prone to boas are just asking for trachea collapse.
I was looking at how flat nosed dogs used to look and personally I think they are way cuter. I don't agree with breeding them this way. It's selfish to make the dog suffer because people think it's cute.
We had this surgery done on the 28 th of March . The nostril surgery was fine , but not the soft pallet procedure. It’s been nothing but a mess up . And the vet seem to get our dog healthy right know . Had to take him back to vet numerous times . And not doing good right know . He’s at vet know until he can come home comfortably and healthy. Some how his surgery was not done right , he vomited a pile of nothing but sutures. . Can’t eat , has lost weight. And another vet said he might not make it . We spent a lot of money on this dog to help live a decent life . And didn’t know we purchased a sick puppy in the first place . He was healthy as a puppy until 5 months old complications started happening.
Sorry your dog is so congenitally unwell.
Breeders are absolutely to blame for these problems. It's criminal what they are doing to these poor dogs.
The sad thing is that people won't stop breeding these dogs. Too much money and popularity in these breeds. You can't really change 7 billion people's minds, so I really love the alternative to researching how to help these dogs breath. We get to keep their cuteness, while also having a happy healthy dog.
I would hope that 7 billion people dont prefer these mutant disgusting beasts! EW!
Great video. IMO, if the dogs in the video, and in my own experience, keeping the weight down has a tremendous effect on their breathing. I really enjoyed watching this video.❤❤
Poor dogs 😥bred to deformity
I wish the Pekingese would return to the way their faces where in China many, many years ago .... they were not so flat ..... just look at Peke's in Victorian photos. Not so pushed in !! I have Pekingese ( not a breeder - mine are pets ) .... I would hate to see this breed become extinct. Pekingese are lovely dogs but ... lets stop the super flat and small nasel's .... let them breath better by breeding them with better noses! I have had a dog have $$$ nasel fold surgery ... so sad and then there is the collasping trachea ... OMG looking at your dog turning blue........ Just breed them better and people have to change their minds about what is "cute" !!!!
Its a sad reality. Breeders and unfortunately the people that buy from them think about aesthetic over health.
Thankfully my pekingnese has some snout to her and she's evidently given birth so hopefully her pups have a snout like hers...
Some, SOME HUMANS ARE SELFISH GREEDY CRUMBS..My pup Betty,Old English Bulldogge going on 8 ,just started making strange sound and swallowimg a lot sometimes.Someone vape's in house,thought It was that but going to have her scoped.My poor girl was put up for adoption because she needed a hip.I got her,got the hip repaired.Humans are selfish and keep breeding for money,no heart..Now she started some other issue,may be a form of one of these issues.Needs to be laws ,as usual wallet comes first..
Absolutely vital not to allow brachycephalic dogs to become overweight.
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
these breeds didn't chose to be like that, humans made them for their own interests.
7:42 They're all good dogs, Brent. ;D
Iv'e never heard of exercise- intolerant dog. Wow not good for the dogs well being. People are really selfish keeping sick animals.
Happy 5th Anniversary.
I have a solution. I think pugs are cute, many think smushed-face dogs are cute. So instead of stopping the breathing all together, why not just breed the dogs like Cedric, Freddie, & Geno?
So the bread can still exist & continue, but better breathing genes are promoted & passed down?
Or just stop breeding the people who think these deformed dogs are cute. Those people aren’t that bright and probably shouldn’t breed.
Inbreeding those few dogs that aren’t quite as unhealthy as the whole breed isn’t going to help much. That could cause other issues. Those people who think the “please kill me look” is cute could just get cats to torture I’d they must own a pet that suffers its whole life. Or they could just get a hobby that doesn’t include adding to the torture of animals
This breeds shouldn't exist at all
My Frenchie runs fine not waddle s and breathes well as pointed out by his vet .
I brought out of love n loneliness and he walks miles n has good muscle formation for a 7 month old approaching.
Vet says best breathing one come in yet because his nose is slightly off his face.
He snores sometimes snorts but little panting .Runs well too.
Would of had another Staffie but a bit boisterous for me now so went for Frenchie as pugs n frugs n any poor thing made smaller with smaller lungs seems cruel to me - like they poor cup dogs .
Frenchie s really flip my heart out I did not buy for any other reason than love & companionship and for a faithful friend.
I have a shichon / zuchon / teddy bear dog and i she is brachycephelic
I don’t like these dogs. I feel it’s very inhumane to breed them. Don’t get me wrong, I will absolutely give these dogs love when I come across them, but I feel horribly sad for them. I don’t like them because I feel angry and sad on their behalf. We failed those poor little guys. I wish we would change our breeding standards to be better for them.
My friends’ and co-workers pugs are living a long 14-15 years. My cousin’s german shepard passed at 1 year due to skin allergies and constant infections. 🤷🏻♀️ And btw, my pug is healthy and happy! Thank you, God.
Good luck!
2:54 you are very beautiful

How many of you watching are South Essex Animal Managenent students doing work the school sent you 😂
We need to ban the breeding of these dogs, they’re well beyond fixing and it’s just straight cruelty to continue.
There is nothing cute about a dog that can’t breathe.
not biased research at all
Biased in what way?
Weird Alien no response lmfao
Poor dogs. Cruelty isn't cute, and breeding these is an act of animal cruelty.
No it’s not cute. Dog is suffering.
Not the ones that can breath especially that black Frenchie and that last pug .. they have good genes
True. It's call animal cruelty
So ur doing experiments on the dogs??
Maybe the well known dog shows should not accept this type of breed in their competitions. Poor dogs
Dinaric pug
Or you could just not breed them
Because they shouldn't be bred
Yo that Asian chick is hot af.
How utterly sad and creepy lmao
facts
They are NOT cute!!! stop breeding an animal with a lot of deformities
Name a breed that doesn't develope medical issues.....I agree there are some irresponsible owners. There are also people who buy these breeds fully aware that their insurance will be higher and vet bills will be higher. If your not willing to pay for the insurance or operation then don't buy these breeds. xx
Mutts. I've never had to take my dog to have her nose widened, tail uncurled, or skin removed so she doesn't contract diseases. 11 years now and she's never had a problem other than the occasional cold 🤷♀️
My dog can actually BREATH.
Australian cattle dog
@@gas-station-sushi yeah they have probables too my mutt is blind stop the cap all breeds have problems all
