Wind

I was actually reading about this the other day on a dog breed information website. A friend of mine has a Boston terrier with a similar problem. Apparently this is much more common in flat faced breeds such as the boston and the french bulldog as they have flatter faces, which affects their breathing. When they eat they take in more air, resulting in more gas coming out the other end! They are also meant snort and snore a lot more that other breeds.

As a prospective cockapoo owner, I was wondering if wind was a problem with them! I was hoping not as I already have a windy british shorthair male cat and that is bad enough!
