Brachycephalic dog breeds
Free poster presenting the main brachycephalic dog breeds and the diversity of their short-muzzled morphologies.
DownloadA group united by a shared anatomical trait
This poster is dedicated to a group of dog breeds sharing a common anatomical feature: brachycephaly. It offers an overview of how this trait varies across the different breeds concerned.
What the poster shows
It brings together breeds showing varying degrees of brachycephaly, from small companion dogs to molossers, making it possible to observe the wide diversity of their morphologies, sizes and coat types.
Why it matters
A resource for identifying and comparing the main brachycephalic breeds, better understanding this anatomical trait and raising awareness of the implications that marked brachycephaly can have on breathing, thermoregulation and health.
