Six English Bull dogs from the same dog training camp were referred with main complaints of stridor, gagging and coughing. Diagnostic imaging studies on these dogs revealed hypoplastic trachea with/without bronchopneumonia. The mean age of affected dogs was $4.83{\pm}2.63$ months, while the mean body weight was $9.03{\pm}5.30$ kg. The mean ratio of the tracheal diameter to the thoracic inlet distance (TD/TI) was $0.085{\pm}0.022$ (normally 0.16 or greater), whereas the mean ratio tracheal diameter to the width of the third rib (TD/W3R) was $1.36{\pm}0.36$ (normally 2 or greater). All dogs had marked inspiratory dyspnea with variable degree of coughing. Of 6 dogs, 4 dogs had either bronchitis or bronchopneumonia. Treatment with antibiotics and bronchodilators made improvement on clinical signs on these dogs. Although some dogs still had mild inspiratory dyspnea (especially after exercise or excitement), most dogs live normally.

A two-year-old, female English bulldog was referred for breeding by artificial insemination with frozen semen of male English bulldog, a litter of female bulldog's grandfather. Intrauterine artificial insemination was done two days after the ovulation day. Sperm was evaluated after thawing by computer assisted sperm analyzer, and its motility was 89.8% with normal shape. Pregnancy bearing eight fetuses was diagnosed by ultrasonography and radiography. Cesarean section was performed sixty days after the artificial insemination. Eight pups were delivered with safe, but the entire pup had abnormalities including severe bow-legged malformations, cleft lip, cleft palate, and enlarged cranial part.

It was very difficult to diagnose by clinical signs and clinical pathological findings, at the first. Eenlarged uterus cavity, fluid accumulation in uterus was clearly identified by radiography and ultrasonography.

An orchiopexy was performed in an 18-month old adult English bulldog with bilateral cryptorchidism. One month postoperatively, the dog was twice-treated with GnRH (50 ug/kg) at an interval of 2 weeks. Semen was collected and evaluated before and after surgery. Fertility was determined by artificial insemination. No spermatozoa were observed before orchiopexy and 2 months postoperatively. However, 6 live sperm were detected 4 months postoperatively and normal sperm characteristics (except sperm concentration) were present 7 months postoperatively. A female bulldog, inseminated with the semen from the bulldog 8 months postoperatively, delivered 6 offsprings. Spermatogenesis and spermatozoa with fertilizing capacity were recovered by postpubertal orchiopexy and GnRH therapy in a bilateral cryptorchid dog.
