Dog Breeds Banned in Sweden
Breeding British bulldogs and Cavalier King Charles spaniels is officially banned in Norway, the Oslo District Court ruled on Monday.
Animal Protection Norway, an animal rights group, brought the case to the court and argued banning breeding of both dogs would protect them from cruelty, the Telegraph reported. The organization stated the countrys history of cruelty regarding selective breeding meant there was no way for the specific bulldogs and spaniels to live in a “healthy” way.
“This is first and foremost a victory for our dogs,” said Åshild Roaldset, the vet who leads Animal Protection Norway, told The Telegraph.
Due to overbreeding, British bulldogs developed short, wide skulls and short snouts and are prone to breathing, lung and various health issues. While the Cavalier King Charles spaniels experience heart defects, headaches, and eye and joint problems.

Norways largest district court, based in the countrys capital, added the ban can be lifted for breeders looking to prioritize the dogs health.
“A conviction does not imply a ban on serious breeding of bulldog or cavalier, as serious and scientifically based cross-breeding could be a good alternative,” the court said.
