I thought the dog was cute,but the coment’s nit so cute.My daughter just bought a Pug.I beleive they also have similar breathing problem’s as the bulldog.But my grandkid’s just love’s this pup to death,and she love’s them back.That is all that matter’s.

In all honesty, I don’t see why I should lighten up.

You basically said my dog, my family member, has no reason to live. I find that deeply offensive and quite hurtful.

I’m being quite calm about this in comparison to some Bully parents. All dogs have some sort of issue and they all deserve to be loved.

So, Lady Chroe, since snoring and asthma is so common in humans, should we stop breeding? What about diabetes? Heart diseases? Two parents…it greatly increases the child’s risk! I mean, babies are cute and all…but wow! I see the way you think. This is something to be concerned about. o-o

wow! someone posted a comment comparing snoring bulldogs to human babies born with a defect of some kind! That’s probably stretching it a bit.
I come to C.O. to see maximum cuteness, not to debate the merits of inbreeding to produce dogs who can’t breathe easy.
Lighten up guys, you are in the wrong blog…

This is not a post I expected to be popular with nuffers… Imagine the catstrophe if this snoring pup was in a bosom!

I appreciate your listening to my opinion. I hope I don’t anger any people here, just wanted to help people think a little about these issues.

Thanks.

This makes me fighting mad. Why breed a dog this way? Why not focus on breeding healthy dogs that can run and play and sleep with ease?

This is not natural, and to me it’s not cute. The only way to stop this kind of abuse is to stop buying purebred dogs. If you absolutely must have a purebred (to be fashionable, resurrect pets who have passed, impress your friends, etc.,) at least choose a breed that does not often come with these horrible health problems.

Birth defects happen by chance. This did not. People bred bullys for a thousand years to have squashed faces, large heads and strong jaw muscles, which led to cruelly short, narrow airways.

I know I’m stepping on toes here, but I truly feel strongly about this. I can’t bear to see animals in distress, especially when it is caused by humans and their whims and fashions.

Please, don’t encourage people to continue breeding unhealthy puppies just because you think they are “cute”. Find some adorable shelter dog that needs a home.

I thought this was pretty cute, than I saw the Adam Sandler sig, and I almost died. People, we must realize heaven is here on Earth! Adorable cuteness and hotties like Adam Sandler, in one place! I’m in heaven! I love this world!!!

Snoring is part of the fun of owning a bulldog. Matzoball on Letterman was really funny. Her expressions and behavior is so typical of bulldogs, it’s funny how much alike their personalities and attitudes are.

Many breeds have some slight flaw, which is no reason to say that they shouldn’t be bred.

It’s no more cruel to breed a Bully than a dog that’s breed has a history of hip problems (which is quite common in most breeds) or West Highland White Terries what with their allergies (though allergies are common through out out all). Each breed, like humans, have their own pros and cons.

In my personal opinion, I think that was a bit harsh of a statement for you two to make.

I mean, if your kid is born with a birth defect, do you then think “Oh wow, I shouldn’t really of had children. Can we, like, you know…pull the plug?”.

In all honesty, English Bullys and Frenchies are quite popular the breed. There are meet-up groups and fan sites all around. Their owners think that they are cute and that’s all that really matters. ^_^

My goodness! Thanks for that info, I feel a bit bad now, comparing him to his father….

Both handsome dogs though.
