[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Did you read what the Veterinary Cardiologist said?

Does it have any respiratory stridor when exercising? Does it snore?

All brachycephalic dogs have some degree of brachycephalic syndrome. They anatomically have narrow tracheae and elongated soft palates. That's a fact. Now do they need surgery? Most don't. Does it affect them enough that they can't gave the activity level of a normal dog? Yup!![/quote]

Well I can tell you for a fact that my bulldog thoroughly enjoys life. So I strongly disagree that they should be allowed to go extinct. Should we ban reproduction among obese people? Among Somoans? Because they can’t run as far as others and are prone to heart problems? [/quote]

Okay I keep trying to tell you that different ethics apply to people than animals but you seem resistant to that argument. So breeding Bulldogs if you want to make it equivalent to humans is basically like rounding up condrodysplastic dwarfs like Peter Dinklage forcing them to commit incest with their first-degree relatives because you think they're cute because they're little and have big heads. I mean so what if they only live to be 40 they're super cute and fun to hang out with[/quote]

You’ve been brainwashed by anti bulldog propaganda.  They live longer than many breeds and have a similar quality of life. Should good breeding practices be encouraged? Yes. Do we need a bit more regulation in this area? Yes. Are all bulldogs miserable and sick? No.  [/quote]
