Flat-faced (brachycephalic) dog breeds
Flat face, big eyes and undeniable charm. These 9 breeds in the directory have a short muzzle according to their standard (what vets call brachycephalic).
The rule
What they have in common
- Muzzle = flat
9 of 60 directory breeds qualify · 51 don't · 0 have no data for a field in the rule (left out, named below)
The numbers come from each breed's page. Sources (in Spanish)
A short muzzle calls for extra care with heat and intense exercise: shade, water and walks early or late. If your dog snores loudly, tires quickly or struggles to breathe, that's a conversation for your vet, not Google.
