Is it time we banned French Bulldogs in Britain?

Over the past 10 years, there has been a surge in popularity for owning the fashionable French Bulldog as a pet. But many vets have warned potential owners to steer clear of the breed because of the health issues associated with it.

Joining us from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is head vet Shaun Opperman who says owners need to do more research before investing in this breed. Vet Emma Milne thinks French Bulldogs should be banned and owning one is tantamount to animal cruelty.

But breeder Sue Worrell believes it is ludicrous to suggest the banning of her beloved Frenchies and thinks they are no worse than any other breed.
