@realscientists Can I plug for some interesting dog research reported in papers I've had the privilege to be the editor for? Veterinarians and people in general think that dogs are more or less sensitive to pain depending on what breed they are: https://t.co/1R6SWmbm9D

Preserving a breed standard, dog temperament & health is the motivation of responsible breeders. This represents timeless efforts to keep breeds looking the same for decades. Health is very important but there is no reason we cannot have both #becausewecare #bulldog #purebred 🐶

Ancestors of the Chin were presented as a gift from the rulers of Korea (during Silla Dynasty: 377–935) to the Japanese court. In 1613 a British Captain, named Searles brought a Chin to 🇬🇧 & in 1853 Commodore Perry from the US brought several to the 🇺🇸 #japanesechin #breedhistory

Can obesity worsen BOAS symptoms? Research conducted at Cambridge Uni. reveals that BCS 7-9 (obese dogs) are at increased risks of Grade II/III BOAS (clinically affected), particularly in #pugs. So sometimes think on a strict diet & exercise plan for your 🐶 #BOAS #frenchbulldog

The 3 breeds (Griffon Bruxellois, Belge & Petit Brabançon) all descend from a small rough-coated dog called a Smousje. These little dogs are very alert & were bred to guard carriages & keep stables free from rodents. On pic, French actress Sarah Bernhardt with her griffon Hamlet

The French Bulldog is an active, intelligent, muscular dog of heavy bone and smooth coat. The hallmarks of the breed are the square head with bat ears and the roach back. Expression: alert, curious & interested ➡️ https://t.co/GgM2Amw9TB #frenchbulldog #dogsoftwitter #purebred 🐶

They found a clever solution to this dilemma by obtaining a yacht and mooring the boat on the Thames. They lived on board for the entire time that the film was being made. Dogs thus never needed to step on English soil and avoided the quarantine 😊 #dogpassion #pekingese 🐶

Purebred dogs and people - Liz Taylor & Richard Burton with their Pekingese. The two of them were supposed to co-star in a film that was being shot in England. Liz often insisted upon bringing her dogs along with her. The problem was that England had a 6-month quarantine .../...

Japanese Chin, Yoshiteru of Mikazuki, was born in 1936 and would not look out of place today. Japanese Chin are a timeless breed that have survived looking this way for centuries. Health is so very important but there is no reason we cannot have both #becausewecare #japanesechin
