A VET has issued an urgent warning over five popular dog breeds in Britain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cat the vet revealed that it\u2019s not just XL bullys being pushed towards the banned list.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Countries are beginning to crack down on the breeding of flat-faced dogs, and the reason will break your heart – and cost you a fortune.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking on her social media channel, Cat revealed that the Netherlands have banned the breeding of dogs with \u2018excessively flat faces\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This includes Britain\u2019s most popular pooches from pugs to French bulldogs, boxers, shih tzus and Cavalier King Charles spaniels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is now illegal to breed a dog whose nose falls into the red zone,\u201d says Cat, beaming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To explain the zones, she displays a side-view picture of a dog.\u00a0<\/p>\n Red, orange and green columns are seen along the dog\u2019s nose, with the green column commanding the very end of their nose and the red almost touching their heads.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cat continues: \u201cThey are only allowed in the orange zone [a small strip between the green and red] if they don\u2019t snore when they sleep, they have open nostrils and the whites of their eyes are not visible.\u201d<\/p>\n They also must be able to close their eyes when they\u2019re asleep.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA fairly basic requirement, you would think, for a dog,\u201d says Cat. <\/p>\n \u201cBut a surprising number of our flat-faced breeds have such bulging eyes they literally cannot pull their eyelids all the way over their eyeballs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Other requirements to qualify for breeding in the orange zone include no nose rolls, and the length of their nose must be at least half the length of their skull.<\/p>\n The strict rules put some of our country\u2019s most-loved breeds at risk, with pugs, French bulldogs and other flat-faced toy breeds lining our streets.\u00a0<\/p>\n But, Cat claims, it\u2019s for the dogs\u2019 own safety and quality of life.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve already had their first conviction [in the Netherlands]. This is something I completely support,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe now have overwhelming evidence that our flat-faced dogs suffer because of the way that they are bred.<\/p>\n "Despite calls from veterinary organisations and animal welfare organisations, nothing has changed and the breed standards haven\u2019t changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAnd unfortunately, the breeders who claim to love these dogs so much haven\u2019t changed either. So now governments are stepping in. <\/p>\n "Well done the Netherlands. I think it\u2019s absolutely fantastic and I hope that other countries follow suit really soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>RUFF CROWD <\/span><\/p>\n
