Meet Dollar 💜🐾 aka Gigi!
One of the most exciting upcoming pairings in our program is our beautiful girl Dollar paired to the stunning Zephyr from Bluegene Frenchies. A pairing intentionally designed with the future health and structure of the French Bulldog breed in mind.
Dollar is both Single copy DVL2✨️AND✨ Single copy CDDY!
She has:
• A natural tail
• A slightly longer muzzle and more open nostrils
• A wide open trachea
• A perfect spine with zero hemivertebrae
• Slightly longer legs
• Slightly pointier ears, influenced by the effect the CDDY gene has on cartilage development
For her very first litter, Dollar will be paired with Zephyr, who is CDDY clear (zero copy).
Why is this important? 👀
The CDDY gene is associated with chondrodystrophy, the form of dwarfism responsible for the shortened, bowed limbs and altered cartilage development seen in many French Bulldogs and is well documentedto be the main contributing factor to earlyonset IVDD (Hansen Type1)
While these traits have become normalised within the breed, reducing and eventually eliminating CDDY has the potential to completely eradicate ealry IVDD, improve overall structure to a healthier phenotype, better movement, joint health, spinal health, and long-term soundness in future generations!
ALL puppies from this pairing will be either:
✨ CDDY clear
✨ Single copy CDDY
and some of those will also be
✨ Single copy DVL2
Meaning we continue moving toward healthier, more moderate French Bulldogs while still preserving the beautiful breed type and personalities we all love.
And as a bonus… this pairing should produce some absolutely stunning babies including:
💙 Blue trindles
🤍 Blue trindle pieds
💙 Blue masked tan points
🤍 Blue masked tan point pieds
At Mightyburns Bulls, we truly believe the future of the breed lies in informed, intentional breeding decisions and not just accepting “how they’ve always been.”
We are incredibly excited for Dollar’s first litter and what this pairing represents for the future 🐾💖🥰
