BOAS a complecated issue of the skull.

One of the reasons why I am sure it is not all about not having a muzzle to have BOAS, or all short muzzled dogs should have BOAS is that dogs with a much longer muzzle than the Griffons can have BOAS while dogs with a much shorther muzzle can have a good breathing system.
- Nose not pressed into the skull with no indented stop;
- wide open nostrils;
- short tight soft palate;
- a skull with the eyes as smallest point of the skull;
- length in the mid section of the skull and enough back skull;
- long enough under jaw,
seems to help to prevent to have CMSM and/or BOAS.
It is a misunderstanding to think that only to give them nose length will solve the problem because that is surely often not enough.
