More clickbait rubbish unfortunately.
All they want to do is help dogs live healthier lives. That means not allowing breeders to use dogs that are already struggling with health issues due to the way they've been selectively bred over the years. I'm sure you know some dogs suffer with breathing issues and others suffer with joint issues etc.
There is absolutely no proof that 67 breeds would be banned at all. None of these dogs would be put down. It's just that the most unhealthy dogs from certain breeds won't be allowed to breed further.

I'I've mentioned in another thread that i owned 2 Frenchies. Lovely dogs, but Frenchies have a lot of physical issues due to the breed being brachycephilac dogs. They can also have problems with mobility as well. This is about making sure those dogs are bred properly.
There's too many people who think of them as Insta dogs and only get them because they look cute.

@Catherine21, typically when the name is '[something] Live' it is not a reliable source. Just something to bear in mind so you don't get unnecessarily worried about things 😊

Once I attended a talk held by a dog charity. The lady with all seriousness declared chihuahuas the most dangerous breed for elderly people. Reason: they are a trip hazard 😂

The talk of Chihuahuas, the only dog I've ever been bitten by was my friend's one when I was 8, I went around to hers to play & the dog knew me, been there loads of times, but it flew down the path yapping & then sunk its teeth in my calf. It bleddy hurt, small teeth or no, it drew blood & I still have the marks.

I blame the Kennel Club for the suffering of many breeds, there are certain standards that they wanted & in some cases encouraged. Also, the new 'designer' breeds where some are now recognised by the KC, are now having their own health issues. They used to be called cross bred or even mongrel, now it's another way for unscrupulous people to make even more money.

In cases like that, it's not the dog, it's the owner, they just want a dog as a "Status symbol", like Staffies and Pitbulls, they're seen as scary looking "hard" dogs, so the owners get them to make THEM be like "Ooh look at me! I own a big 'ard scary looking dog! I is all 'ard innit?"
Although Pitbull Terriers were banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act about 10 years ago, some people still have them, in some cases it's the same with Staffies.

I agree with you about the owners are at fault for bad or dangerous dogs, no matter what breed.
I was talking about those breeds that have inherent health problems that have been bred into them, for example, the flatter nosed breeds that now have awful breathing problems because we've manufactured them. Mother nature, on the whole, does a good job. We, on the otherhand, get it wrong, often.
