Bulldog and Pekingese lovers, or just greedy breeders?

Gives us all an idea of the suffering caused, and just how far some breeders will go to defend their lucrative incomes

Again it shows just HOW LITTLE you know to be a Full Champion in the UK a Gundogs has to also pass its working tests and it shows it is Fit for purpose and Fit for life" the vast majority of shows dogs are very happy, healthy and have extremely good temperaments . leading long and healthy lives free of ANY problems

Well all I can say is that I have many friends who own and use working dogs for real and would never dream of buying from the show ring breeder. I guess theres working dogs, and theres working dogs.

"if britian was a bulldog it would be on its knees"

no it wouldn't you fag because my bulldog isnt on its knees, its bloody fine,

[foundonly]

I guess when you pay good money for what could be a less than perfect animal youre bound to be a little peeved, Im afraid that most of the current show type dogs etc are only, as the name implies for good for showing and useless for their original job.

It's not so much greed that makes this happen. It's institutionalized brainwashing.

In the US, we use the original bulldog to catch feral pigs. It looks like nothing like your dog and acts nothing like it either. We call it the American bulldog, but it's really your breed, just not screwed up like your dog is. I'm not being nationalist here, though, because we've totally effed up our variety of cocker spaniel.

@Myles4Kane oh well, everything is fine then. i mean, so long as your bulldog is fine, by transposition, all others must be. What do these veterinary professionals know? did you even watch the clip? or did you just read the title and post a comment?

Man's Ego V Healhty dogs. Breeders and show people should live and walk around, exactly looking like their dogs, both like the original and the today's show type and then see if they still support this type of breeding.

Maybe this really IS better...?

I love how many people bitch about this, People have hearts now, They love the way these animals are, whether they pay a million dollars for them or get them for free, We feel bad for them and spoil them rotten, if you're dog overheats, it's your fault. we are the ones keeping bulldogs alive because we love them.

That simply means you got a well breed one! Woot! The original Bulldog!

continued ... both for breathing difficulties. One was given to me, the other was a 'rescue' peke, the product of a puppy farm. Sadly I know of many pekes with great characters but with deformities. Perhaps if breeders had some financial responsibility should dogs they breed have inherent problems then they'd take better care. Hit them in their pockets ! Again I know of bulldogs, cherry eyes, skin problems, breathing difficulties. Of course there are good ones but sadly too few.

I am a Pekingese owner and sadly I despair. I am fortunate in that my current two are very healthy , great hearts and full of fun Having said that they are only 3 and a half years old & have had operations on their backs due to IVDD which the neurologist said is a 'small dog' problem as opposed to breed specific .Small dogs share the same dwarf gene that humans have, they also suffer from ivdd. My previous pekes needed ops

@foundonly True. When people spend a ton of money on something low quality, they try to justify it as much as they can instead of admitting that they bought something of lesser quality. I don't understand why people pay for such animals and support the breeding of them. Breeding bulldogs like the ones depicted in the video is cruel.

[roadkill14]

Simple fact is, Crufts promotes breeding ill animals. They dont give a rats ass about the dog, just the stupid prestiege of a ribbon. Ultimately pathetic. The pekingese was allowed to father 18 litters?! These "show" dogs are being bred by selfish A**HOLES and should be prosecuted for animal cruelty.

[KIBAfang90]

no its not comon for the dogs to be operated on for looks to win in the show ring X[

imagine how it would feel not being able to breathe! and yes im appauled that he won! if this is an inherited problem, he shouldnt have gone op to breed!
