In Defence of French Bulldogs Part 1

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

In Defence of French Bulldogs is a two part docuseries which is directed by Richard Morrissey.
The French Bulldog breed has become one of the most popular dog breeds in the world and for good reason, yet they are also a breed which is under threat from a number of sources which include, the breeding of non recognised colours and exaggerated types, the hijacking of the name French Bulldog in order to confuse the general public while marketing crossbreeds for financial gain, organisations with bizarre agendas who masquerade under the guise of animal welfare activists and lobby for the banning of this amazing breed, all of this along with an abundance of misinformation presented online and in mainstream media.
What began as a goal to create a short documentary has now become this two part docuseries, due to the depth of knowledge of the featured experts.
For those who want to learn about the French Bulldog breed this two part documentary film is a must watch.
The aim is to set the record straight and present the facts by allowing world leading French Bulldog experts to impart their knowledge and opinions.
Those who feature throughout this docuseries include; Richard Morrissey, Dimitry van Raamsdonk, Chantal van Raamsdonk, Toni Saira, Dr Maria Morrissey, Dr Ian Finney, Daniela Hoffmeister-Akkad, Peter Akkad.
The expertise of those featured comes from a broad knowledge base, including dog show exhibitors, top breeders, breed club presidents, veterinary, science and law.
Those who feature in this docuseries share a love for this beautiful breed and believe that we must all work to preserve, promote and protect the standard French Bulldog so this breed can be enjoyed by future generations.

    I love this video! I am a huge advocate for ethical breeding of all breeds and brachycephalic breed. I have dedicated over 4 years of my life researching and educating myself about this breed as well and pugs and bulldogs. I have a TikTok account dedicated to the proper education of the breeds. I love that people are now making light of the bad breeders that are destroying this breed

    @@monikajung3098 I 100% agree with you! I’ve had frenchies for 5 years only and I have nothing but good things to say. Never had any issues with my dogs breathing nor have we had any spinal issues or anything. They tolerate heat very well and are extremely fit and active. I advocate to the grave for these breeds and the breeders NEED to change, not the standard!

    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.

    @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. - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHWqsbJ8oJmvpM4.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.

    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.

    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.
