As far as I know Emma brachycephaly describes breeds of dogs with short broad heads, ie. bulldogs etc. & those breeds can be susceptable to breathing probs. I don`t think its a disease in itself as such.

Yes you're right, Boxers, Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, French Bulldogs, and the like, are brachycephalic. Squashed up faces.

I would imagine that other breeds (those not deliberately bred to have brachycephalic characteristics) can be born with brachycephalic deformities of the skull ?
