The sad reality is that the French Bull is suffering
One of the super cute and expensive dogs turned out to be suffering from an unhappy situation.
Recently, the British Veterinary Association (BVA) has issued a warning message about a sad reality for dog owners. More specifically, with "flat-faced" breeds like bull dog, pug, and.
A French bull uncle - expensive and super cute dog breed.
These are all popular dogs because of their "ugly" and extremely lovely faces. In particular, bull France even reached the top of the most expensive dog breeds in the world. However, at the present time, these varieties are in very bad condition, with many innate health problems.The reason is probably everyone guessed, it is human.
The process of selection of lack of humanity has made dogs meet
In order to have a good standard dog, they must go through a very selective breeding process, so as to produce the desired traits such as a short nose, wrinkled skin . Only regretful beauty standards It is not good at all for their health.
According to a recent study conducted by the Royal Veterinary University (UK), experts have directly collected data to prove the tragic situation of the French bull species. In 2013, there were about 2228 French bulls appearing in veterinary institutes in the UK, and up to 72.4% suffered from illnesses arising from the process of breeding selection.
In fact, the number of 27.6% of dogs not infected is not a low rate, compared to some other breeds in the same situation. However, the average age when the disease of bull France is only 1.3 years, instead of 4.5 years as other normal dogs.
Meaning, while healthier dogs take years to get sick with aging, the French bull is getting sick too soon.
"This is the first study of French bulls in the UK, based on data from hundreds of national veterinary institutes" - research author Dan O'Neill said.
"Research gives information about issues you may encounter when raising a French bull".
Through years of artificial selection, the French bull has changed too much.
Over decades of artificial selection, the French bull has changed too much. They are easier to fatter, skin is wrinkled, the nose is shorter. According to the study, they possessed countless bad health symptoms: dyspnea (12.7%), dermatitis (17.9%), hearing loss (16.3%), eye disease (10, 5%) .
"Another interesting fact is that the male of this breed seems to have poor health to choose females," O'Neill added.
"Males have 8 out of 26 common diseases, while females are not so many."
And more heartbreaking, O'Neill was forced to admit that the numbers in the study were actually much lower than what they suffered in practice, since data were only taken from veterinary institutes. Bull's situation may be much more tragic.
