I was talking about my favourite and least favourite breeds of rabbit on Instagram and mentioned that I don’t like Holland lops because they’re prone to breathing problems.
Someone messaged me with ‘Holland lops don’t have breathing problems. No holland lop I have seen or others who have owned them have breathing problems. It’s all like a false thing with flat heads’ then ‘And holland lops and mini lops are literally the same thing aha. And Netherland dwarfs also have flat faces but they don’t have breathing problems either’.
This seemed wrong to me, especially as I’ve been around lots of pets not just rabbits who have flat heads and breathing problems.
Frenchies, pugs and some chow chows, for example are pets with flatheads and pretty much every one knows that they’re more prone to breathing problems, especially later on in life.
I also accidentally offended someone this morning by saying that I didn’t like frenchies when they asked me but that’s a whole other story.
Could anyone tell me a bit more about this subject, or send some links about it? I would love yo get to know more about it
