WILD claims that pedigree dog breeding affects the animals health are nonsense, of course, but you may notice these minor quirks in your Kennel Club champion:
Spontaneous combustion
Shar Pei owners should be aware that the breed is high-maintenance: eye problems, skin infections and an unprompted tendency to burst into flames reaching 800ºC, capable of burning down a large family home in moments. They can also have feisty personalities.
Breathing through the arsehole
Selective breeding of short nosed breeds like Bulldogs and Pugs has led to difficulty breathing conventionally and a minor mutation causing them to breathe through their arseholes. Amplifies breathing to around 60db and comes with a strong, persistent odour and some spattering.
Teeth on its belly
