I so wish this series was being shared out- 😭

This took far too long to “show up “ in my feed.

Wish this video existed when I purchased my first Frenchie Without any research I bought my half merle half brindle puppy, he only lasted 3.8 years despite my best efforts to keep him alive, he developed IVDD and died of complications no one could have done anything to save my boy RIP COCO

Stop supporting leftist lunatics. That's the root of the problem.

I love my Frenchie so much, and before they are going after our funny little Companions, they ahould stop breeding of those Dogs, whom getting used by cruelty sick Humans for dog fights !!..Sorry to say that, but our Officials or Governments are way to much involved in our all Privacy , regardless of being a Breeder or not, in many Countries dogs are just running around wild on streets where nobody cares about them !!..People should complain about that, but here they starting intervene in way to much of our privacy!!..Its the Paper Breeder who want this being banned, because it takes their own financially security away, so let us being honest here at once in our Lifes!!!..My Frenchie have no health issues at all, running, playing and breathing just fine !!The Riches like to make these dogs to their own statuses of money and wealth, which is so obviously 🙄 🤔 If you cant pay 10thousands of dollars for this Breed and you can't afford their health care, you are not privileged to have them !!?????..😮That's big bulls..t and I am tired of these classifications by the Riches and others 😢😢

It's A Bad breed They Hardly Breathe very unhealthy

Love my Frenchie it’s all about the personality. They are the most loving pups in the world. My son and I got ours from the same breeder and they are both very healthy. Nothing fancy about them. They appeared to just meet the breed standards.

This is disgusting and abuse of animals. Its exploitation at its worst. Shame on anyone breeding disability in dogs. Karma will catch up with you. It's not ok.

I am a veterinary nurse who has held unknown number of these mutants while they struggle to breathe and then DIE in my arms due to nothing more than poor breeding and absolute misery. I've got PTSD and compassion fatigue from being forced to treat these avoidable situations. You are promoting misery and life of pain and struggle. They literally just drop dead from neurological issues. They die from playing and getting excited. They can't sleep without sitting up or trachea occlusion and apnoea so they can't even sleep without hazards. Their eyes pop out if they sneeze. They get abscess in tail coils and anal gland issues. Their spine is sooooooooooo misshapen it has it's own medical terms for deformity now. Genetic mutants are unforgivable. You are promoting disability and exploitation of animals for your own gains. Its perverse and disgusting. Their skulls are malformed to push on their brain!! You are sick and twisted. We have entire wards full of just FBD in hospitals. Not an exaggeration. Call any specialists hospital and ask. Any hospital. Veterinary professionals do not want to work with these avoidable disabilities and forced misery. Its a crime!!!

If ethical breeders are breeding out genes such as ADAMTS3, DVL2 screwtail, CDDY etc that are contributing to the poor health outcomes of the French bulldog then who cares if these "genetically healthier" dogs don't have an approved coat colour. Same goes for RFG score of 0 and an increased CFR. Yes, with these changes to genetics and physical characteristics the French bulldog breed is going to change, and the breed standard should change along with it. For the sake of the health of the dogs. The pool of dogs to breed from is small already (limited to only having single copy/eliminated genes let alone excluding dogs with unapproved coat colours).

I love my little boy with my whole heart. He does have a blue hue, but he is a French bulldog. I understand the point that you're making, and it makes sense, but he's my french bulldog. He has brought so much joy to my life. Samuel is 8 months old, healthy, and he's had his health testing, and he is a healthy boy. I absolutely love this baby and can't imagine why they'd push to ban the smoosh face breeds. Sad.

I had a French Bulldog for many years, never any health issues. I think the vicious rumors are a bunch of B.S. Stemming from people who never owned the breed.

There is only one person who start all this!!!!!! Together with all her flying monkey's.

Work on the audio from Peter Akkad

@1:10 - We're HUNTING them now? OMG you are being ridiculous @1:20 - My friends dogs can breathe perfectly - BOAS scores? Yes, they are fixed for the DVL2 gene. Brachycephalic skulls predispose them to everything from brain tumors to cleft palates to BOAS to difficultly regulating their temperature, to digestive issues, to chiari malformation and Syringomyelia and much more. Going to address any of this or are we just supposed to believe you when you claim they are "healthy?" Ok cool - mention health testing, but say the results are fantastic - when half your breed struggles to breathe, I don't think that's fantastic. @1:57 - I see a dog with strabismus - another issue caused by brachycephalic skulls. At least the nostrils are sorta open though. @2:23 - We care about more things than once. Many Frenchies suffer from IVDD, broken limbs, BOAS, and the myriad of other issues I mentioned above. These aren't pandas, they are deformed dogs and we don't have to right to make dogs deformed because we like the way they look. @5:19 - NO you do not need to inbreed dogs in order for them to be able to live easily with humans. This is simply not true. @6:25 - Why do you keep featuring Frenchies with slits for nares? @6:55 - Comparing a micro bully to a French Bulldog that is fit? Fit Frenchies do not meet the standard. They are supposed to be "cobby" - how many ribbons has this dog won? Because I don't think this dog would do well in the AKC at all. @7:11 - Is a Pekingese not an exaggerated breed? Only micro bullies? COME ON! I wouldn't have shown a Bull terrier - a breed riddled with health issues ranging from mental problems (OCD and "trancing" to rage syndrome) to kidney problems and deafness and more... oh and Rhodesian Ridgebacks are sometimes killed if they don't have those pretty ridges... that predispose them to dermoid sinus. Corgies often end up in wheelchairs because they were bred to be dwarf. @7:31 - This dog doesn't even have slits to breathe out of... Oh side note - without human intervention, Frenchies would probably go extinct so... @7:45 - Good ol "whataboutism" a logical fallacy. @8:02 - Why should breed standards that call for bowed legs, strabismus, extreme brachycephaly, giantism, heavy wrinkles, ridges etc be preserved? They were all man-made, and we now know some breed standards call for exaggerations and harmful traits. Don't you love dogs and want them to be healthy, happy and do dog things all their long lives? Why do we accept that some breeds like the brachycephalic Dogue de Bordeaux only live to 5 on average? @8:28 - UM breeders have been shrinking their own gene pools by restricting naturally occurring colors in breeds, using only top winning sires, not breeding dogs that are 1/2" too tall for their breed standard, refusing to outcross even when the breed faces many severe health issues (the brachycephalic Cavalier King Charles spaniel comes to mind) until they are legally forced to, DNA testing their dogs and throwing out carriers etc. So anything else you want to blame on us welfare activists? @8:57 - Again this poor dog's nares - seriously, pinch your nostrils together for 10 min and let me know how well you breathe! These breeders DO NOT CARE. They care more about ribbons than their dog's welfare, and you're just proving my point by showcasing a whole bunch of Frenchies with pinched nostrils! @9:09 - What silly reasons are we attacking show dogs? Do you think nostrils aren't important for breathing??? @9:10 - Oh spare me your crocodile tears about puppy farmers - here in the states, show breeders monetarily support the AKC which lobbies to keep puppy mills in business. The KC happily registers puppies from puppy mills. So if you cared, you wouldn't support these organizations, but you continue to want to talk about them rather than the real issues that Frenchies are facing. @9:40 - Yes just accuse welfare activists of not knowing about the myriad of scientific literature out there showing how brachycephalic skulls are hugely detrimental to the dogs. I see more cognitive dissonance in this video but ok... go on. @9:50 - You're right the whole dog - the spinal problems, the hip and elbow problems, the birthing problems, the tail pocket problems, the inability of the dog to keep their rear ends clean, the digestive problems etc. @10:00 - Concerns have been raised over BOAS testers for being biased. I've seen a dog with LOUD audible breathing get a score of 1. WOW I'm only 10 min in. We'll see if I have the energy to continue this...

Vive le bouledogue français!!

What a bunch of inbred snobs that think their tastes in a particular area are superior to others. Genetic diversity is how you get a health animal.

Where’s part 2???

Its because they are so cute they just steal your heart

Im getting a pie, its the original types I like . The genes are at its most original. 👌 ❤

I am relieved that my frenchie is a healthy pie.

They're cute and all, and I do see them in media frequently, but my experience with the one I have is that he has quite the personality and is a wonderful companion. The baby schema definitely plays into the bond.

this was a good documentary it was very informative thank you.

Sure get a high maintenance dog, then take out a second mortgage to pay for all the vet bills

NOPE! Nothing ethical about French bulldogs. Poor deformed canids!!

I would have liked to have seen more information about the health issues that frenchies (real or otherwise) have come under fire for recently. Breathing, neurological, and other "quality of life" issues. Your emphasis on "it's not a recognized color" didn't carry weight with me at first and was starting to get annoying until you started showing "standard" frenchies next to "designer" frenchies and you could see how the designer dogs have VERY different structures that likely go beyond just poor physical type and are in fact Frenchie Crosses being sold as purebred. But people -think- they're purebred so when these crosses end up with health issues, those problems get pinned on actual purebred Frenchies when the dogs in question weren't pure frenchies at all. THAT is a legitimate point and a big problem, but you took way too long to get to it.

Frenchies are a manufactured breed as the video said. Fro. The original English bulldog. This is breeder elitism at its worst.

Thank you for this information. I almost brought a chocolate a few months ago, However I changed my mind, Something didn't seem right to me. I found a great honest breeder and now I have a healthy ,adorable sweet French Bulldog ..

What a load of bullshit! Not a word about the whole breed being flat faced thus having difficulty of breathing. They are only trying to create new enemy: unethical breeders who want different colors when the whole breed makes ALL of them evil.

Thankyou good information i got my first Frenchie 3years ago❤

These dogs, for the most part, can not breed properly. Not to mention all kinds of other health issues, from back pain to eye problems. To put a "designer colour" on top, as in all breeds, creates "interesting" new problems - but can you really call yourself an "ethical breeder" if you breed a dog that is destined to suffer from shortness of breath their whole life? And no, the breed standard does not prevent this, as it calls for the very short and upturned nose. The medical problem is called "Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS)" because it comes from being brachycephalic, and that is what the standard calls for.

I have a beautiful "blue", 2.5 year old French Bulldog. I think this is a great documentary, even though I felt a bit defensive while watching. Noah is a glorious dog, a joy to everyone he meets. I wouldn't be without him and consider his existence to be valid. He is a kennel club dog with proven lineage. BUT, while he enjoys good health and clearly loves life, he does suffer from allergies, and this may be associated with his colour.

drop pt 2

It sounds like they are mad they aren’t the only ones making money.

Great video. They are now crossing shar - pei with frenchie and called " big rope frenchies," have awful health and are not frenchies!! Its pure greed. These dogs need to be protected and kept true to breed.

My bigrope blue fawn merle french bulldog is 7 panel clear. It’s a shame that people assume all non-standard colors are unhealthy. My dog doesn’t snore. He is OFA certified. Not all non-standard colors are unhealthy. They were prejudice against Fawns before and now it’s a standard color. There is all kinds of hypocrisy in this video. None of these dogs are like the original from the 1800s.

BRAVO! 🙌🏼👏🏼 great documentary on the REAL French Bulldog!

Excellent video, I have learned a lot from the breed. Is part 2 out? I would love to watch it but can't find it, thank you

Absolutely BRILLIANT video and long overdue!

Fantastic video! Thank your all for your hard work in educating the public to protect and preserve the breed.

Great video 👏

What a phenomenal video!!!! There is so much knowledge and information, It has really given me a great insight, looking forward to part two.

@57 seconds - I see dogs with severly pinched nostrils. You try breathing through tiny slits for a while. @8:57 - you wanted a clean breed, and chose one that due to anatomical issues, can hardly keep itself clean. What is "clean" about a Frenchie? You often have to wipe their faces and butts far more often than most other breeds. They are also prone to digestive issues due to being brachycephalic and this makes them gassy, not "clean." Because of their flat faces and the standard calling for an underbite, they tend to have dental problems more often than mesocephalic breeds, and this can lead to a build up of tarter and bad breath, neither of which are "clean." @9:31 - Yes Frenchies that more conform to the standard have a higher incidence of spinal abnormalities than non-champions in Finland according to Koiranet data. I'm a third in, and we haven't discussed yet why the Frenchie needs to be bred with a severely brachycephalic skull, an underbite and a screw tail. Nor what "good breeders" intend to do about the breed being fixed for the DVL2 gene. @9:43 - Yep instead of addressing the problems inherent to the breed standard, we'll just start attacking "color" breeders. Too bad that when the data is actually examined, these "CNR" (color not-registered) Frenchies actually have a slight advantage in heath outcomes compared to the "preservation" bred dogs. - crowdpleazerfrenchies.com/blog/f/whos-health-testing-their-frenchies and crowdpleazerfrenchies.com/blog/f/health-test-results-nbs-vs-preservationist-ofa?blogcategory=French+Bulldog+Health. Mixing the dogs adds needed genetic diversity and the F1 pups benefit from heterosis. It is unfortunate that there is dishonesty when breeding these dogs, but the dogs are healthier for it. The only color you can reasonably say "adds health issues" is merle, and this goes for all merle breeds. But "preservation breeders" tend to not mind when breeds that have merle in them are affected by conditions caused by merle colors, only if the color came from a mix. @11:01 - Expresses frustration that these CNR frenchies are being registered - well take it up with the kennel clubs that profit from them and mills. @11:27 - Keeps talking about "quality" and a lack thereof but what makes a quality dog? As mentioned above, a higher chance of spinal abnormalities? Which this video STILL hasn't addressed? The slits for nostrils on the dogs that have such high "quality?" Quality in dogs is subjective, but could be objectively measured in part by looking at health outcomes and traits that confer good health as opposed to traits that cause problems like the screwtail gene. @12:21 - Too bad "good" breeders continue to ignore the effects of high COIs, do not prioritize selecting for good free whelpers, open nostrils, an ability to swim well (something all dogs should be able to do), freely go up and down stairs without fear of an IVDD attack etc. The French Bulldog is an extremely exaggerated breed. Yes making them hairless will of course make them more exaggerated, but let's not pretend this breed isn't highly exaggerated. Even their movement is completely inefficient - because they have deviated so much from the template of a village dog. - ua-cam.com/video/rAvOPCp6Itk/v-deo.html @16:47 - Yawn. More whining about certain colors not being healthy. See here - crowdpleazerfrenchies.com/blog/f/the-myth-of-blue-french-bulldogs-color-dilution-alopecia-cda But again, the hypocrisy of the fancy. And who cares if people want to breed outside of a standard if they aren't causing harm to the dogs? In the case of French Bulldogs, the standard is the source of their health issues. @20:39 - Since when does merle increase the rate of allergies? Going to need a source for that one. This is repetitive and not factual. @21:30 - How about the "careful" breeding of Wyndlair Avalanche and Shadow Hill’s Polaris? Both double merle top studs in the Collie and Sheltie world respectively. Many breeders were all too happy to use these dogs at stud despite them being intentionally bred to be homozygous for merle. The hypocrisy of the fancy is on full display - despicable for frenchie breeders to do, but totally ok if collie or sheltie "preservation" breeders do it. @22:00 - It is not sustainable to breed only "pure" Frenchies longterm. Eventually the breed struggles with fertility and lifespan issues like we see in Berger Picard and Norwich terriers. What is a purebred? The Basenji has roots with Country of Origin dogs (COO) that might not be "pure" but we still call them purebred. The concept of a "breed" is a human concept, not a scientific one. @27:17 - Repeating something doesn't make it true. Again, you haven't bothered to address the underbite, brachycephalic skull, the effects of the DVL2 gene (a consequence of breeding to the standard), the screwtail etc. None of this benefits the dog's welfare at all, it affects the quality of life in greater ways than a dog being blue does. @29:23 - You're going to have to cite your sources for a "preservation" breeder producing healthier dogs. The data is just not there, and for a few different breeds, shows no benefit to going to a "preservation" breeder over a "byb" in terms of health. Really just came down to "breed standard colors because FCI and we said so, and fad colors are bad even though that's mostly incorrect." What a waste of 30 minutes.

This is an excellent presentation of the current situation and issues with this beloved breed. PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK potential frenchie owners. Do NOT breed against the standards. They are there for a reason. Preservationist breeders are the TRUE RARE breeders, not these color breeder$.

Nice video..very informative..can't wait for part 2 !!

De la Parure ->❤

Excellent video!

What a wonderful video! Very informative and educational! Well done! 🐾

Thank you, this was well documented with facts, not hearsay... can't wait for part 2!

VERY INTERESTING… EDUCATED ME TO MANY QUESTIONS I HAD ..
