The thread subject likely to be, for many MN regular Doghouse posters, click bait for the same reasons I want you here! Especially any helpful vets!
ds(15)'s class has been told they are doing a persuasive essay for his NAT5 English writing portfolio. We are in Scotland and this essay, along with another creative essay will count towards 30% of his overall mark.
Aged 9, ds was desperate for a cute pug, but was easily discouraged when he learned about their health issues and we chose a labrador instead. He has loosely chosen the subject area of brachycephalic breeds such as Frenchie's and Pugs for his persuasive essay. He's not entirely sure yet what the essay will be trying to persuade - banning, change in breed standards, mandatory education etc so needs to do a bit more research to get that clear in his head and also for information to use in his essay.
Research to date is mostly been media and journalism and he has a reasonable grasp of the topic, but could do with more recent evidence of sound research from professional, expert based sources which he can quote in his essay.
We have found the BVA policy statement from January 2018 and the BMJ Brachycephalic tipping point: time to push the button? comment on use of these dogs in advertising.
Both of these seems like good articles to take quotes from and acknowledge as resources. There appears to be more BMJ articles but these are only available if registered/paid for.
Do any vets, or anyone passionate about the topic have any recent articles from expert resources they are allowed to share links/email me that he can also look at/use?
