Four dog breeds at risk of being banned in UK for being unhealthy or 'dangerous'

Bulldog breeding has come under fire after experts called for urgent action to stop the dogs from a 'lifetime of suffering'.
Royal Veterinary College (RVC) says an overhaul of breeding practices is needed to prevent the UK from joining the list of countries where the breed is banned.
The current trend to breed flat faces and large bulging eyes into bulldogs causes health issues and short lifespans, a new RVC study found.
Bulldogs are part of a boom in popularity of other pedigree pets that are plagued with health problems.
Not only are the vets asking for bulldogs not to be promoted on social media, they have also urged people not to buy them and two other 'designer' dogs - pugs and French bulldogs.
There are currently four types of dog breeds breeds banned in the UK - Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro.
Here's more on breeds possibly at risk of being banned in the UK.
Pugs, which are known as a brachycephalic breed for being shorter-nosed and flat-faced, are prone to a lot of health problems.
Like bulldogs, pugs have been selectively bred to be even flatter-faced to their detriment.
Animal welfare charity Blue Cross says 20 percent of the dogs in the UK are now flat-faced breeds. It is 'determined' to see the end of their poor breeding.
The charity believes the rise of 'cute' advertisements on social media has prompted the rise in demand, which has led to the increase in cases of French bulldogs and pugs being diagnosed with health problems.
Having an exaggerated flat face means pugs are sadly more likely to suffer from severe difficulty breathing and problems with their eyes and skin.
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is a group of breathing problems affecting flat-faced
