Portrait of a noseless pet dog, an unhealthy breed.
Bulldogs are a rather popular breed, especially in the United Kingdom, even though they are amongst the least intelligent dogs and they suffer from many health problems. Their life expectancy is low (6-8 years). They frequently suffer from cardiac problems and cancer. 74% were found to be affected by hip dysplasia, the highest among all dog breeds. Due to their large heads, over 80% of Bulldog litters are delivered by Caesarean section. The skin folds on the face and on the tail should be cleaned daily to avoid infections. Due to their short nose, they have difficulty cooling their bodies. Bulldogs tend to be heavy breathers and they tend to be loud snorers. I love dogs, but I feel sorry for bulldogs.
