They are prone to them. French Bulldogs are among the flat-faced breeds PDSA says are commonly affected by BOAS (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome), whose signs include noisy breathing, being unable or unwilling to exercise and struggling in hot weather. The University of Cambridge BOAS research group names the French bulldog as a brachycephalic breed, and notes that not all brachycephalic dogs show clinical signs. Ask the rescue what the vet has found about this dog's breathing.

A breathing assessment under The Royal Kennel Club and University of Cambridge Respiratory Function Grading Scheme. Dogs are graded from 0 (clinically unaffected) to 3 (severely affected), from 12 months old, and the scheme says the test should be repeated every two years. The Royal Kennel Club asks French Bulldog breeders to have dogs graded before breeding. Most rescue dogs will not have a grade, so ask what the rescue's vet has found.
