These dogs are prone to tears.
Dogs with easily bent nasolacrimal ducts such as VIP, dogs with strong secretion of tears outside eyes such as Chihuahua, dogs with short nose and nasolacrimal ducts such as bulldog, and dogs with easy blockage of tears are more obvious, and some dogs with white fur are also more obvious than other dogs.
