the vet report that we've got from the specialist vet said he shouldn't be bred from. the whole purpose of the breed is to try and make them as small and stocky as possible. lots of muscle and bone into a very, very small frame. their legs are splayed out, they're so muscly. it's cruelty breeding, there's no other word for it. griff and the other pups are being looked after at this south wales rescue centre, casualties of a trade in designer dogs. the local authority actually seized them with a view to prosecuting them. when they went in, they could obviously see that they'd had their ears cropped as well. sadly, there is a demand for dogs with their ears mutilated. they actually cut the floppy bit of the ear off.
