French Bulldog
The French bulldog can be a robust, easy to care for and adaptable companion, if they are bred by a responsible breeder. We don't want to go back into the historical origins of the breed,
there is ample information available in the internet.
The following questions are driving us forward:
- Is it possible to breed a French Bulldog in a way that it can function as a small dog without complaints?
- To what extent must the phenotype deviate from the current breed Standard?
- What can breeders do to breed bulldogs vital and efficient?
- In which cases is a well thought outcrossing an option?
- Can brachycephalic dogs be happy dogs?
We are convinced that the Frenchie - without the overtyped body type - can be quite an efficient dog. His job is to please people and accompany them as a sincere friend. However, he
should be capable of fulfilling the needs of a canid. For us this are the basic requirements:
- Natural reproduction without human help (no artifial insemination)
- No need of human care for wrinkles, ears, tail, etc.
- Solid, balanced, friendly character
- No exaggerated head shape with obstructive tooth and jaw misalignments
- Movable spine, which does not restrict the dog in all three gaits
- Movable, free tail which allows a minimum of communication
