      This what I mean when people use poor breeding standards as support for "adopt, don't shop!" The general public doesn't really have a say in what constitutes a "proper" bulldog or pug; it's the Kennel Club, and until they change the breed standard(s) to be healthier, it won't change. People will buy whatever bulldog is available, and it's not like it's impossible to have that cute, squishy look with a longer snout. There are breeders working to breed out some of these more harmful traits, and I have a lot of respect for them going against the grain set by the Kennel Club.

      @@CanidRose Right? The AKC has amazing lineage tracking but their breed standards are garbage for most of the dogs. Its hard to have a good registry that tracks lineage but also doesn't support unhealthy breed regulations; I love the CKC due to them trying to help certain breeds and even allowing healthy lineage mix breeds to be registered (all dogs came from mix breeds to get to where they are, we wont be able to obtain new breeds or repair old breeds without doing so.) however, because of that they are vulnerable to puppy mills and BYBs which sucks.

      Good move! I love the look of a smooshed face, but this is too much. I prefer, for example, a pug in the 1800s (almost a petite, terrier nose, far better for their health). I wonder if Bulldogs are the most unhealthy breed? They just look like they're in pain simply moving, its not just (arguably) the most brachycephalic face, but the oodles of wrinkles for yeast and bacterial growth, plus the heavy, stocky weight. I love them, but I couldn't imagine contributing to their breeding (plus I'm pro 'adopt, don't shop').

    • @grumbeard

      Agreed. It is okay to have breed standards for dogs but only when health considerations are taken into account. The pug/bulldog nose and the german shepard back are just some of the more egregious things that need to be 'bred out'. A paradigm shift but a healthy and welcome one. To put it bluntly it will also be in the breeders best interest I think. If you are known for breeding healthy dogs that has got to generate good press. Our westie only had the chronic ear inflammation the breed is known for but that was easy to treat with cleaning and eardrops. Never any serious hereditary ilnesses. If I still had the time I would go back to that breeder in a heartbeat.

The vet says that he shouldn't be permitted to run around in open spaces, so he's made to stay inside and watches sadly from the door as my labradors chase around the yard and play.

    I suppose, from my POV, the good thing is that I think purebred dogs are becoming less popular nowadays, due to our knowledge of what this sort of selective breeding can do. My girlfriend's sister has 2 Puggle mixes, and they have protruding snouts, while still looking recognisably like a pug. Its things like that, for me, that make me happy for our knowledge of this sort of thing. We need to fix the mistakes of 'fashion', and give these animals a better quality of life, instead of making them not able to breathe, live, and play.

    • @rekkariley652
      @rekkariley652 Pƙed 2 lety +48

      Depends a lot on the breed. Some breeds, especially those still actively used for actual work, are still pretty good. Some people choose purebreds because they need particular traits, and purebreds from reliable, ethical breeders have a much greater chance of having those traits while finding the right combination of traits in a mixed breed (especially one from a shelter) is a very risky crapshoot.
      For example: I’m looking for a psychiatric service dog. This would be not only my first service dog, but my first dog in general. As much as I would love to adopt a rescue from a shelter or organization, I don’t have the money to risk on a dog that has a high chance of washing out of the training program, and I also just do not have the experience or confidence necessary to train out any bad habits or trauma a rescue might have. I really do need to start with a “clean slate” and a breed that has a very reliable chance of having exactly what I need.
      I ended up settling on the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. They’re not a well-known breed and a bit hard to find, but they have the intelligence, energy, and sensitivity that I need in a service dog, while also being more adaptable to apartments and not quite as clingy as other retrievers. While labs and goldens are much more popular for service work, they’re also victims of their own popularity: shorter lifespans, lots of health problems, some are *too* friendly (meaning they’ve lost virtually all inhibitions and won’t hesitate to bite someone), and there’s massive splits between field lines, show lines, pet lines, etc. Same with poodles and German Shepherds; the latter were already a crapshoot for service work, as they’re so multi-purpose that finding a puppy suited to a particular type of work takes a lot of extra effort and experience.
      The toller is smaller than a Golden or lab (in the 30-60 pound range, rather than 60-80), they have longer lifespans (12-14+ years, as opposed to 8-10), and are generally much healthier (labs are extremely prone to obesity and goldens have become almost synonymous with cancer). They’re also slightly smarter, which is massively important to me as my panic attacks often render me unable to speak so I need a dog that can figure out what needs to be done without me giving a specific command.
      Could I find all that in a mixed breed from a shelter? Maybe; it’s next to impossible to know unless I’m able to interact with the dog for months, and I can’t afford that. If I did find a dog with those traits from a shelter, would they also come with a lot of ingrained habits or their own emotional trauma? Definitely, and I don’t have the necessary experience or time to train those habits back out.
      So my safest bet is to get a purebred Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever from a breeder that has regularly produced service dogs in the past (which I did find, though it does involve a waitlist and traveling to British Columbia).
      It really depends on the breed, and the culture that has developed around it. Some breeds I am absolutely in support of discontinuing, mostly those who can’t even reproduce anymore without human assistance (for example, several flat-faced breeds now have to be artificially inseminated and can’t give birth without a c-section).
      But outside of that, it’s more a matter of changing the culture from one that values looks to one that values function.

      So its less about the breed vs mixed debate but more about the which-breed debate.

    My aunt and uncle train aggressive dogs for a living and they foster dogs in their spare time. They only had one foster fail and it was an English Bulldog named Ginger. She is an amazing dog and she was always so gentle and hilarious. She does this thing where if my aunt and uncle are busy and she wants to play (even though they already spent hours playing with her) she will sit on their feet and if that doesint work, she will throw her toys in the air and then look back at my aunt or uncle to see if they notice, and then she does it again, and again, until after like a few minute she gets bored and just takes a nap or plays with her tug toy. Though she does not have very good manners, she is adorable and lovable and my aunt and uncle love her. She turned 4 this year! Happy belated Birthday Ginger, I know you don’t have a phone and you can’t read but I’m saying it anyway!

      If we COULD get our Maligators to ride skateboards we would NEVER see them again as they scoot off into the sunset chasing some ball, real or imagined, until they circle the globe.
      Then they'd STILL insist you toss their Kong toy for them. Hahaha!!
      That is assuming you could teach a Maligator to ride a skateboard without first chomping it in half within, oh, I dunno, maybe 5 minutes?!?
      Great companions, BTW, and I cannot ever see myself without a Maligator in my remaining time on this planet..
      No Please excuse me while I go spend the next hour or so tossing my 12 year old (+) Maligator her Kong toy. Heaven forbid I get ANY sleep until SHE is happy!!

It takes a lot of money and patience, but when he's leaning against you and loves you, all money is worth it. He lived a happy life of 8 and a half years, and I'm proud of that because the vet said that this dog wouldn't even get to the age of 1 year. All money was worth it. Every. Single. Cent.

She was devastated, and seeing them definitely traumatized me. Despite it he made it to about 6 before he was just clearly too miserable to continue, and my mom was once again devastated as she had to have him put down. We buried him under a rosebush in our backyard and it's gotten huge over the years. She never got over it.

    Since moving out and getting my own place a couple decades ago, I’ve had a Pug (was guesstimated to be 2.5-5 yo when I got him), that lived with me for 10 years, and an English (who had just had her third birthday before I got her), and was part of the family for six years. While Leon (the Pug) was an excellent companion, he was definitely bonded to me, even as our family grew. Lyla (The English) was probably the sweetest, kindest dog that I have ever shared life with. Stubborn is putting things lightly, especially when they are comfortable in the most awkward spots. But it was all worth it when Lyla and the person she was cuddling with were both mutually cozy! “Dog glitter”, and vacuuming multiple times a week is worth it! The health issues are intimidating, but a beauty regimen (brushing, nails, ears, nose, paw pads, folds, and tail pockets) and regular checkups will help avoid issues from going too far out of hand!
    I definitely have a feeling that another English may be what my family needs when the time is here to bring another dog into our home!!

    I've dogsit my brother's Eng bulldog and the SNORING, I couldn't sleep seriously đŸ€Ł.
    But he's so cute and lovely, I've never seen him be aggressive, he just loves to play.
    He has really sensitive skin and trouble breathing so he's had to have surgery in the past sadly, but all that aside gosh he's a big ball of cute.

    I LOVE bulldogs! They have such a sweet personality and they are honestly pretty cute dogs. If it wasn't for the fact that I hate how many serious health problems they have I would probably consider them my Dream Dog! I met my first bulldog when my grandmother bought one named Lily and I just fell in love. Lily was very lazy but she'd follow me around and want to lay in my lap as I read or played video games, but she'd also chase after me if I went to run outside (note, I was like...10-ish when this was). I was her favourite person from first sight and I don't know if I will ever capture that feeling of love for a dog again (I had it a few years ago for my cat who was a stray who climbed in my open window and made himself at home but he passed away several months later after a very sad event I am not quite over). But despite how actually BAD my relationship with that grandmother was, I highkey wish I had spent more time there so I could have played with Lily.

    Oh my goodness. I've owned two dogs as an adult. My first was an EB I named Bobby. He was so sweet and toddler like. He had to be by my or on me (his snout on my feet) while I worked or watched TV. He liked feet. My mom would wear socks when she visited because he like to suck on her feet. (He had a blanket he suckled, LOL). When you say 'furfetti' I laughed. We are still finding 'Bobby' in amongst our seasonal things. It took me almost six years before I could entertain another dog. My GSD, Maica. Sadly I lost her to a stroke at 3 years old right before last Christmas. That was a hard candy Christmas. I love these videos! They help fill the blank. Thank you!
