I just read a post by @amadeo about his neighbor wanting to get a French Bulldog and the possibility of breeding it. There are already groups who BREED the French Bulldog for sale and show.
If the neighbor 'bothered' to read up on this breed, there are 17 reasons why not too. And my main gripe about this whole thing is that there are millions of dogs waiting to be adopted from animal shelters. Some on Death Row and you mean he can't go SAVE a dogs life???
I have no other words except for four-letter ones and hyphenated ones.
Thinking about getting a French Bulldog? If you said yes, make sure you read this list of the 17 most common French Bulldog health issues!

Me too @catsholiday (rescues). Pure bred dogs have a lot of eccentricities whereas rescue dogs are so grateful for being rescued; they will be your lifetime friend.

I would not argue with this.I agree.Not sure why.But believe maybe to make a fast buck.I do not care for it.
But he is my neighbor and do not want to make waves there.
Ms.Ruby and Buffy are animal shelters.My first one was a pup.As I did not know anything about raising them.
Most people this falls on deaf ears.

I understand you're not wanting to cause problems with the neighbor @amadeo . Hopefully things will turn out all right for the dog.

I totally agree with you. We have a gorgeous Siamese. He came from the local animal shelter, not from a breeder. Ten days down in that animal mess before I pulled him out. I love him to pieces but for sure do not want to create more.

@nanette64 My county is just nasty with animals. I have called the sheriff on my neighbors more than once and nothing is different over there. Their kittens look so diseased. Just feels horrible to me when I see those innocents.

@nanette64 True, but there are a lot of people out there who have no idea what common sense is.

Totally agree with you! I have a neighbor who breeds bulldogs and sells them to earn money! She has 5 of them running around her yard. I reported her business activity to the authorities in my town and get this, she is entitled to do it as long as she cares for the dogs properly. Another question you might ask? How many dogs should someone be allowed to own? When is it too much?

As a "breeder" she should have a license (depending on the country) to do so @dgobucks226 . It's all about the money to those people.

@nanette64 Our township did check out her home unfortunately for me I guess she did not violate any codes. So, I have to hear dogs barking all hours of the day and night. I could complain, but the police must hear the dogs barking if they come out to check? Just not worth the hassle.

You got that right @Hatley . When you consider millions are euthanized every year; it's a no-brainer.

Yes it is and breeding is part of the problem @maezee .

Exactly @MALUSE . The life-span of Pure Breds have drastically dropped because of the gene-breeding process and it is because they cause health issues. A shelter animal is so grateful for being saved that they will become your best friend.

I don't know if he has @Kandae11 but that should be a game-changer right away. There are a lot of dog-breeding situations that turn out bad and I don't mean for the human either.
