Data from British vets shows Frenchies' health is 'largely much poorer' than other dogs, due to the 'extreme body shape that defines' the breed.
, looked at a random sample of cases from vets including 2,781 French bulldogs and 21,850 dogs of other types.
The French bulldogs were found to be 42 times more likely to suffer from narrowed nostrils, about 31 times more at risk of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, four times more likely to have ear discharge, and about 10 times more likely to have skin fold dermatitis and difficulty giving birth.
The authors of the U.K. study said they carried out the research on Frenchies specifically in hope that a "holistic view" of the breed's health "would assist efforts to appreciate the overall health strengths and weaknesses in the French Bulldog and to take appropriate steps to mitigate these."
