English bulldogs can suffer from an large array of upper respiratory issues affecting both its inner and outer portions. In this case, you may be referring to an issue known as stenotic nares. This is a term to describe the narrowing of the nasal openings. In some cases, surgical intervention is required to avoid respiratory distress episodes in these fellas. I would recommend having Alfie's nasal structure assessed to see if this could potentially be necessary. Hope this helps.
