[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 607312, member: 14557"] Yeah, if he doesn't keep the sound that often when breathing awake, it is not that bad (but snoring is same with dogs as human, sign of something not being quite right in your breathing during night) and will likely not cause him any bigger trouble. But this problem is something, that people should know about, when they take pets. Many do find dogs with short snout cute, but cuteness does not really compensate all the worry and sorrow (and cost) the problems short snout can cause then again can cause the pet owner. There are lots of cute and comparable breeds so that one doesn't have to pick a dog, that has build, that often causes significant problems. Or with many breeds, it is not yet all lost (I'm afraid English Bulldog is, they have so many horrible health issues) but you can for example find a breeder, who uses shih tzus with just a little bit longer snout. They may not do quite as well in all dog shows, but quality of life can be much better both to puppies and their owners. And if you are taking a mix, that has problematic breeds in their lineage, this is one thing you can say a lot by just looking the puppy. Many other health issues are more difficult to know and don't show so easily. [/QUOTE]
