Respiratory Function Grading Scheme

Dogs Australia has recently signed on to join the UK Kennel Club’s ‘Respiratory Function Grading Scheme’.

The grading scheme assesses three of Australia’s most popular breeds – Bulldogs, French Bulldogs and Pugs – for breathing problems known as BOAS (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome).

Health & Welfare

The breed standards says:
The colour should be whole or smut (that is, a whole colour with a black mask or muzzle). The only colours (which should be brilliant and pure of their sort) are whole colours – viz., brindles, reds, with their varieties, fawns, fallows etc., white and also pied (i.e. a combination of white with any other of the foregoing colours). Dudley, black and black with tan are extremely undesirable colours.
