Document type Podcast from the French Chaire Bien-Être Animal (16 min 31)
Authors: Chaire Bien-Être Animal, Marie Abitbol
Presentation: A German Shepherd whose pelvis is too low, a French Bulldog whose nose is too squashed, are examples of what we call "hypertypes", which concern many animals and are likely, in some cases, to have a direct impact on their welfare.
The Chaire Bien-Être Animal will be discussing this subject today with Marie Abitbol, a veterinarian, a teacher-researcher in genetics, a consultant in preventive medicine at the Lyon veterinary school (VetAgro Sup), and a member of the scientific commission of the Société Centrale Canine and the Livre Officiel des Origines Féline.
