We have a troll by the name of Cami Hulse harrasing our Nextdoor page. She is upset that we do not agree with breeding French Bulldogs and she wants to breed them. https://nextdoor.com/p/Gy-DtTmpsMxr/c/1415335342?init_source=notification_center She has accused me of being a crack head and that I hate bulldogs and well we know that is bs. She now has a profile Mary Love leaving ridiculous reviews on our page because she is childish.
Here are all of the records for the money we just spent to save Rocky's life. He was only 11 months old and was vomiting 30 times per day. Also pictured is Coco, here owner just reached out for us to take in his Frenchie because he cannot afford her medical care. As you can see, her eyes look very painful and no telling how long they have been this way. You can also see that from 2014-2025 we have spent $317,274.82 on veterinary care $55,398.76 Outreach for pets we have rescued. We not be wasting any more of our time on a troll. We have animals to help.

Cami is just mad that we do not believe French Bulldogs should be bred. If anyone wants to learn more we can tell you Rocky's horrific medical journey to survive. We rescue Frenchies with major health issues that should have never been bred by people like her and most of our dogs are pits or pit mixes.
Here are some reasons why they should not be bred:
1. Health Risks to the Mother (Dam)
1. Brachycephalic airway syndrome — makes breathing difficult, especially during pregnancy and labor.
2. Inability to whelp naturally — most Frenchies require C-section deliveries because the puppies’ heads are too large for the mother’s pelvis.
3. High anesthesia risk — flat-faced breeds have increased surgical complications, particularly with breathing under anesthesia.
4. Overheating — prone to heatstroke during pregnancy and delivery due to poor temperature regulation.
5. Worsening of pre-existing conditions — pregnancy can aggravate spine, joint, or heart problems.
6. High mortality risk — mother and puppies are at greater risk of death during birth compared to most breeds.

2. Inherited Health Problems Passed to Puppies
7. Hip dysplasia — abnormal hip joint development causing pain and arthritis.
8. Patellar luxation — kneecaps that slip out of place, causing lameness.
9. Hemivertebrae — deformed spinal bones leading to mobility issues or paralysis.
10. Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) — back problems common in compact-bodied breeds.
11. Allergies — skin irritation, infections, and chronic ear problems.
12. Atopic dermatitis — chronic itchy skin condition.
13. Eye disorders — cherry eye, cataracts, entropion, dry eye.
14. Cleft palate — birth defect that can cause feeding and breathing difficulties.
15. Heart defects — congenital issues like pulmonic stenosis.
16. Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) — severe breathing issues from narrowed nostrils and elongated soft palate.
17. Heat intolerance — inability to cope with warm temperatures.
18. Dental overcrowding — jaw too short for teeth, leading to decay and gum disease.
⸻
3. Welfare and Quality of Life Concerns
19. Chronic breathing problems — lifelong distress and inability to exercise normally.
20. Reduced lifespan — average lifespan is shorter than many breeds due to health issues.
21. Expensive lifelong care — many need repeated surgeries and vet visits.
22. Poor recovery from illness or injury — compromised breathing and immunity hinder healing.
23. High puppy mortality rates — more stillbirths and neonatal deaths compared to healthier breeds.
24. Suffering due to selective breeding for extreme traits — exaggerated flat faces and screw tails are harmful by design.
⸻
4. Overpopulation and Rescue Issues
25. Overbreeding for profit — demand has fueled irresponsible breeding and puppy mills.
26. Rescues overwhelmed — many Frenchies are surrendered due to high medical costs.
27. Unwanted dogs — owners often give them up when they can’t afford or manage health issues.
28. Adoptable dogs already in shelters — breeding adds to an existing surplus.
⸻
5. Ethical Breeding Standards Rarely Met
29. Limited genetic diversity — small breeding pool worsens inherited conditions.
30. Lack of comprehensive health testing — many breeders skip OFA, DNA, and airway evaluations.
31. Breeding despite known defects — passing on suffering knowingly.
32. Puppy mill exploitation — breed’s popularity attracts high-volume, neglectful breeders.
33. Violation of animal welfare principles — intentionally creating animals predisposed to suffering.
⸻
6. Public Misunderstanding and Buyer Unpreparedness
34. People underestimate medical needs — many buyers don’t know how fragile the breed is.
35. Impulse purchases — buying for “cute” looks rather than readiness for care.
36. High financial burden — thousands in medical costs over the dog’s lifetime.
37. Emotional toll — watching a pet suffer from preventable conditions.
