His proposed rules include health checks for certain breeds, such as French Bulldogs, to prevent breeding-related health issues like respiratory problems. Jensen's initiative is part of a broader effort to address concerns around so-called 'puppy mills' and ensure that dogs are bred under humane conditions, reflecting a growing awareness of animal welfare in Danish legislation.
