Breaking News. Please let the world know. The UK Brachycephalic Working Group (BWG) considers that brachycephalic (flat faced) dogs with noisy breathing (awake-snoring or raspy breathing) at rest or light exercise are suffering from severe respiratory disease (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome - BOAS) and should never be considered as normal or healthy. Flat-faced dogs with noisy breathing at rest or light exercise are suffering and should not be described as healthy dogs if promoted, bred from, sold, shown or rehomed. https://lnkd.in/eJB9Kfsr
