Although the incidence of primary brain tumors in dogs is not high, being about 14.5 per 100,000 for dogs in general, there are four breeds that account for more than half of those cases: Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers and Boxers. The other 157 AKC breeds (plus mixed breeds) account for the rest. These pie charts illustrate this astonishing disparity between breeds.
A dog of one of those four breeds is 25 times as likely to develop brain cancer as any other dog.
