New research reveals a notable shift in dog preferences in Britain, with increasing favor for breeds with less extreme body shapes. The Royal Veterinary College study shows participants preferred dogs with more pronounced muzzles, longer tails, and less bulging eyes over previously fashionable flat-faced ones. The study examined perceptions of Pugs, English Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs. Results indicated that less extreme versions of these breeds were seen as more attractive, healthier, and happier, suggesting a changing attitude towards canine aesthetics and breeding ethics.
