The research aimed to understand the motivation of owners in the process of choosing a dog, whether the studied differed in the number of diagnosed diseases, and how owners perceived the health of their dogs. For this purpose, a survey was prepared and made available to the owners of 3 groups of dogs to be compared (brachycephalic dogs, non-brachycephalic dogs, non-breed dogs) through social networking sites. The work put forward three research hypotheses: 1) there is a correlation between the groups in the study and the factors influencing the choice of a dog; 2) brachycephalic dogs have a higher number of diagnosed diseases compared to the other groups of dogs in the study; 3) owners of brachycephalic dogs evaluate their dog’s health more positively than owners of the other research groups. The hypotheses were tested using the chi-square Pearson’s test of independence of characteristics and the Kruskal–Wallis test. The results obtained showed that there was a relationship between the factors influencing the choice of dog and the groups studied. It was also found that there was no relationship between the study group and the number of diagnosed diseases and the owner’s subjective assessment of the dog’s health.
