Living with faithful four-legged companions, particularly canines, constitutes an incomparable experience in the lives of human beings. Often referred to as “man’s best friend,” the dog holds a special place in people’s hearts and homes.
The close relationship between a human being and their dog transcends mere companionship; It is an inexhaustible source of love, emotional support and, most importantly, a key factor in the health and well-being of the individual.
The history of this deep connection between humans and dogs dates back to time immemorial, and its exact origin is lost in the mists of antiquity. Over the centuries, this bond has remained without apparent breaks, evolving and strengthening over time.
As time progressed, the dynamics of the relationship between humans and dogs became more complex. According to data provided by the International Cynological Federation, approximately 349 dog breeds are registered worldwide, a testament to the diversity that has evolved over the years.
The impact of humans on these breeds has been undeniable, and over the years, human influences and preferences have left their mark on the appearance and temperament of these faithful friends. Dog lovers often opt for specific characteristics when choosing their furry companions, which has given rise to the practice of crossbreeding between different dog breeds.
However, it is important to note that these crosses not only introduce desirable traits, but can also inherit characteristics that, in some cases, can negatively affect the dogs’ health. This duality in the selection and breeding process raises important questions about the responsibility of breeders and pet owners in preserving the health and well-being of dogs.
A professional named Aletzia Viveros, who works in a veterinary clinic in Mexico, published a video on TikTok explaining which dog crosses can be dangerous and why they should be avoided.
The specialist also commented on why she would not have certain breeds of dogs in her home. The idea for the video arose after a question asked by a follower “What breed of dog would you never have?”
The professional’s response, as well as that of her colleagues, was the same: they would not have bulldogs or huskies. @aletziaviveros, is the veterinarian’s account, her video has almost 800,000 likes.
Bulldog
The specialist put in the description of the video that “bulldogs almost always need more than one surgery in their life”, within this group she highlights all similar breeds, French bulldogs, English bulldogs and pugs.
This breed, also known as “snub-nosed” dogs, has respiratory problems and allergies due to the folds they have on their bodies.
A study highlights that this breed grew a lot internationally due to its popularity, but the health problems and diseases that they can contract are not taken into account.
Bulldogs, whose name finds its origin in their historical role as combatants in confrontations with bulls, are distinguished by their impressive muscular structure and their slender athletic carriage.
Husky
This breed stands out because they do not have the ability to give birth naturally and can contract congenital heart diseases, vision and spinal problems.
They were dogs created to carry sleds, and are a breed of huskies.
The Siberian Husky is native to Siberia, and was created by a Chukchi tribe. It is estimated that the breed arose from the crossing of wild wolves that were used for work.
A dog used for work, pulling sleds in the snow or as a blanket for its fur to accompany people.
When adding a dog to the family, it is important to study the characteristics of each breed not only for preference but also for the health, care, and well-being of the pet.
