They are also subjects on a rear condition called an intervertebral disc disease, or "IVDD".
"So, fundamentally, at any time in their lives, they could jump [from a] car and their backs could yield, and their rear legs could paralyze," said Anwary. "They will need very large expensive surgery that takes a long time to recover."
"For me, it is essentially like a time bomb," he concluded.
2 Shar Pei
"Don't let your face be wrong, Shar Peis can be very distant," warned Anwary. "If you do not socialize them well enough, they could be subject to aggression and territorial behavior."
In other words, "if you are not an active participant in the life of a PEI of Shar Pei, they will literally direct your household," he said.

"This is one of the most beautiful breeds of dogs with which I have ever worked, but they are subject to dysplasia of hips and elbows, and worse, most dogs in this breed will never live to see eight years," he explained. "So they have the shortest lifespan in any dog breed, and it's far too sad for me, unfortunately."
4 Brown cocker spaniel

"Bruns cocker spaniel spaniels are Cray-Cray, as if they had a loose screw in their heads. They can be anxious, they can be anxious aggressive, and they have a condition called Cocker Rage syndrome, where they can be completely good and suddenly they become super aggressive," said Anwary.
While some people become parents of dogs because of the advantage of "puppy therapy", brown cocker spaniels are a race that could benefit from a little therapy.
"They can have several personalities," joked Anwary.
5 French Bulldog
Due to their flat faces, French bulldogs are subject to a multitude of health problems - including respiratory problems and comorbidities caused by allergies.
"They are subject to problems, they are subject to respiratory problems because they are brachycephalic, and they are subject to skin problems because they simply get allergies," said Anwary.
"Many owners become worried when they hear their French Bulldog Breathe strongly, and this may or may not be normal ", by pet." This could be due to the physical composition of the dog's respiratory tract, or it could be a sign of brachycephalic respiratory tract syndrome. It is a common condition with French bulldogs and other dogs with short respiratory tract and fascated faces. The problem can go from light to serious with the most serious cases requiring surgery. »»
