Preţul plătit de câinii „de designer” pentru trăsăturile lor drăgălaşe. Rasele predispuse la probleme de sănătate

Designer dog breeds, popular for their cute traits, often face severe health issues, leading to increased abandonment rates. The trend began in the 2000s with small breeds and shifted to brachycephalic dogs in the 2010s. A report shows a dramatic rise in abandoned French Bulldogs, highlighting the financial burden of their medical care. These breeds suffer from respiratory problems and other health complications due to their altered physical traits. Similar issues affect certain cat breeds, prompting organizations like RSPCA to advocate against breeding for harmful traits. They encourage adoption over purchasing to help existing animals in need.
