Most flat nosed dogs have issues with breathing in hot weather, etc. I grew up with a flatnosed dog so I have some idea what I am up against.
As far as travelling to the States goes, she would be in a kennel or with family members here. Not because of the airlines but because the UK is a rabies free country and if you are going to travel with an animal between the UK and a country that does have rabies (such as the States) you have to put the animal in quarantine for a while after your return. I wouldn't do that to a dog. I only ever go back for a week or two at a time once or twice a year so it is like anyone going on vacation.
