Note
I used my brain (hold for applause) and looked them up.
Tumblr media
There are also pdfs with notes that I've translated below the cut
EB:
Tumblr media
Non potruding and no marble round eyes, normal close eye rims (potruding eyes - shallow sockets - increase risk of eye injuries)
Somewhat longer and less wide skull (short, wide skulls are a clear risk factor for ie BOAS)
Well palpable ribs (overweight is a risk factor for ie BOAS)
Somewhat longer back that is straight (short and carp backs are risk factors for back issues and make natural behaviours more difficult)
Craniofacial ratio nearer 0.4, minimum 0.3 (lesser relative snout length clear risk factor for BOAS)
Open nostrils (pinched/stenotic nares is a clear risk factor for BOAS)
Somewhat longer and slimmer neck (wider, shorter neck is a risk factor for BOAS)
Normal-shaped tail (short and corkscrew tails are a risk factor - DVL2)
Unwrinkled skin, lesser amounts of winkles may appear (wrinkled skin can cause irritation and infection. Nose rope can disturb eyes or respiration.)
BT:
Tumblr media
Non-potruding and no marble round eyes (potruding eyes - shallow sockets - increase risk of eye injuries)
Craniofacial ratio nearer 0.4, minimum 0.3. Snout without nose rope (BOAS risk factor)
Open nostrils (BOAS risk factor)
Somewhat longer and less wide skull (BOAS risk factor)
Somewhat longer and slimmer neck (BOAS risk factor)
Somewhat longer back - normal shape of spine (back issue risk factor)
Normal tail shape (DVL2)
FB:
Tumblr media
Non-potruding and no marble round eyes (potruding eyes - shallow sockets - increase risk of eye injuries)
Craniofacial ratio of more than 0.3 (clear BOAS risk - 0.3 a minimum, not the ideal)
Open nostrils (BOAS risk factor)
Unwrinkled skin, lesser amounts of winkles may appear (wrinkled skin can cause irritation and infection. Nose rope can disturb eyes or respiration.)
Longer and less wide skull (BOAS risk factor)
Somewhat longer and slimmer neck (BOAS risk factor)
Somewhat longer back - normal spine (short and carp backs are risk factors for back issues and make natural behaviours more difficult)
Normal tail (DVL2)
Visible waist (overweight is a risk factor)
Pug:
Tumblr media
Craniofacial ratio of more than 0.3 (clear BOAS risk - 0.3 a minimum, not the ideal)
Less width between the eyes (widely set eyes are a clear BOAS risk factor in pugs)
Non-potruding and no marble round eyes (potruding eyes - shallow sockets - increase risk of eye injuries)
Open nostrils (BOAS risk factor)
Somewhat longer and slimmer neck (BOAS risk factor)
Longer and less wide skull (BOAS risk factor)
Visible waist and easily palpable ribs (excessive weight is a BOAS risk factor)
Somewhat longer back, less compact body (risk factors for back issues and make natural behaviours more difficult)
Unwrinkled skin, lesser amounts of winkles may appear (wrinkled skin can cause irritation and infection. Nose rope can disturb eyes or respiration.)
Did you see the new guidline illustrations the swedish kennel club published for pugs, bostons, frenchies and bulldogs so the written standard can't be misinterpreted?
No, I don't think so!
I've seen the judge's compendiums, but was this another thing?
