[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok PP with the fat, lazy comment...that explains it! I totally understand now why they are breeding genetic freaks with very low life spans! Thanks![/quote]

If you are a busy person who doesn’t have time to walk a dog a mile per day, why would you get a breed that requires a ton of exercise?[/quote]

Then I wouldn't get a dog...or I would hire someone to donut for me...or I would adopt an older dog who doesn't need a lot of exercise either.

But I wouldn't BUY a dog that was so inbred it can't breathe. Ever. [/quote]

You don’t seem to understand that the restricted trachea is a defect that a minority of bulldogs have and that good breeders work to avoid. My bulldog is sitting next to me right now and is breathing just fine. Now, he definitely has a stalkier build than my other dog and, like a football linebacker, isn’t going to be winning any endurance races. But he breathes just as freely as any dog. [/quote]

So it can breathe as long as it's completely at rest and it isn't too hot outside. Wow great. But can it walk for 45 minutes and not be tired at all like my almost 14 yo mutt? Nope. Can the poor beast walk around a city block? Will it drop dead if it walks around the block and it's 90 degrees? How on earth is that a good or healthy life?

And it's "stocky."[/quote]
