Vet criticizes people who breed flat faced dogs.
#1
Tuna, a one-year-old bulldog has such an extreme face she requires surgery to be able to breath properly. The first surgery removes a fold of excess skin.
The second and third surgeries with correct the face from inside her mouth. Without surgery, she cannot live a normal life. She has trouble breathing when she is just sleeping. She has no energy left for play or even walks. 
The vet involved has publicly criticized the people who breed dogs with such extreme faces. They are destined to have health issues. The extreme breed standard encourages people to produce unhealthy dogs.

The vet is right. The original flat faced breeds were cute, but they could still function like normal dogs. Now breeders are producing dogs that require surgery just to be able to breath. There is something wrong with that. Unfortunately, as long as people keep buying extreme faced puppies, this problem will not go away
Like many problems the answer lies with the purchaser. If we keep buying it, they will keep producing it.
