Respiratory Function
Grading Scheme Specialists
What is Respiratory Function Grading?
The Kennel Club and University of Cambridge's Respiratory Function Grading Scheme assess Bulldogs, French Bulldogs & Pugs for a breathing problem known as BOAS (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome).
Our resident Vet, James Dutfield, is one of only a few regionally approved assessors (vets trained specially in BOAS) appointed to carry out respiratory function grading on dogs of these breeds. Dogs can be assessed from the age of 12 months, and this should be repeated every two years for their lifetime or until you stop using them for breeding.
What is BOAS?
Dogs with flat, wide-shaped heads are brachycephalic ('brachy' means short, and 'cephalic' means head). The soft tissue found in the nose & throat of some brachycephalic dogs may be excessive for the airway size, partially obstructing the airway making it difficult for the dog to breathe normally (potentially causing heavy panting or noisy breathing).
This condition is known as BOAS and is a progressive disorder that can impair a dog's ability to exercise, play, eat and sleep.
