New UK dog rules 'could see 67 breeds banned' campaigners say - full listA Parliamentary group is working on a 10-point checklist to determine if dogs are allowedView 4 Images Corgis will face tough rules to make sure they are healthyCampaigners say 67 breeds of dogs could be banned in the UK if new rules come into force. ‌The rules could see a ban on characteristics such as short noses, flat faces and shortened legs, reports The Times. ‌Critics of the rules say they would mean a ban on corgis, dachshunds, Westies, chihuahuas and shih tzus.
