As a veterinarian, I actively roll my eyes when I see people breeding for stupid coat abnormalities like this, on top of an already unhealthy breed.
French Bulldogs are the single breed most addled with health problems. If you want to spend a lot of time and money seeing me multiple times a year, buy one of these dogs. You quickly get over their "cuteness" when you have to expend so much time and effort seeing these guys for eye problems, allergies, respiratory problems, spinal disc herniations, dental disease, and GI disease. Oh, not to mention specifically counseling my French Bulldog owners on how to make sure these guys don't die of heat stroke every summer when they are outside for more than 20 minutes because their upper airways are too malformed to exchange air properly.

I would get a frenchie if it weren't for their breathing problems. I don't understand why people breed for stubby snouts.

So cute. But after reading these comments I’ll pass on buying/owning one.
