Seriously! I don’t understand why people think it’s fine to breed flat-faced / screw tail dogs. That facial structure is called “brachycephaly” and causes difficulty breathing and poor temperature regulation, amongst a myriad of other health problems.

Many veterinarians consider breeding brachycephalic dogs to be unethical (source ).

Not-so-fun fact: the genetic variant associated with this brachycephalic structure has a human counterpart (source ) that causes a very rare disorder called Robinow Syndrome. For the nerds like me, it’s mutations in some Wnt pathway genes like DVL1 (“disheveled 1”) and DVL3 in humans, DVL2 in dogs.

I'm sorry, but why are you showing two failures when there are three - so far - in 2023.

I am sure a large percentage of the DINK number is couples living together before having children so this is probably misleading.
