…is the French bulldog, at least among some demographics. A relative has one….
Can’t mate without being held up in place, can’t give birth except by c-section. Priced accordingly.
Nice enough, gentle enough for kids, housebroke, tries hard to be a dog despite physical limitations. Can’t take heat, gurgles and hums a lot, not good at long walks. Does bark at strangers at least, retrieves thrown dog toys.
Doesn’t seem fair to the dog to breed ‘em to look like that.

You forgot the exhorbitant vet bills due to hydrocephaly, respiratory and skin conditions.

Would those demographics be middle class white women?
I only ask because they fugg up everything they get ahold of.
Exceptions of course....but nearly every time you see something really terrible....a middle class white woman was behind it.

My girlfriend got a French-ten/ton a few months ago. She paid a lot (I think) for that gassy bastard 😆.
Heck a guy can go snag a rez dog for cheap these days. It would be a cold day in h3ll before I paid over a grand for a dog. Unless it was a great working breed dog .

They are cute little dogs, but that's been about my only observation with them. They do have a lot of health-related issues. I'd much rather have their slightly larger cousin, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I've been around one a fair bit, as a local family had a 30-35lb female for 13-14 years. She was great with kids and super intelligent, went to work with them and hung out in their little retail store in town. I think they paid over $1k for her as a pup back in the mid 2000's but she was a great dog. Typical example:

I always get a kick out of it when people say.....but she is great with kid!.....
Why not have a dog that you don't have to tell people that bit of info every time?
Just curious.

I was put in the hospital by a Cocker Spaniel at 4 years old, so "great with kids" is my #1 requirement.

Can't really concern myself too much with dogs other folks choose to spend their time with as long as they keep them in their yard and not chewing on anyone...
Coach potato, lazy ass dog probably fits the lifestyle of the majority of folks much better than the GSP that goes bat shit crazy because its crated 10 hours a day, let outside twice, and walked around the block every other Wednesday.

Little yap-dogs are a crap shoot too, I think. One of my daughters was bitten in the face by a babystitter's Yorkie and we were lucky her eyebrow took the worst of it, as it was very close to her eyeball. I was also bitten in the face as a middle schooler by a black/white Border Collie, which I thought were supposed to be relatively friendly dogs. I've gotten to where I don't truly trust any dog just on looks/breed alone. I've seen some mean-ass Labradors too, which isn't common but does happen.

Anything with a high prey drive is suspect. The Disney movie Lady and the Tramp ruined the Cocker Spaniel breed. Any breed that becomes popular from a movie ends up getting ruined. Had a friend with a Cocker. When she got pregnant I told her to get rid of the dog. She refused, said the dog would never hurt anyone. Dog went after the baby when she was 8 months old, just out of the blue (which happened to be the dog's name). It was gone that day. I didn't say I told you so.

I don't think I've ever seen one around here. Lotta hounds, labs, shepherds and pits.

Getting a dog, any dog and forcing it to live in a crate for half it's life is just plain wrong. If that's your situation, don't get a dog in the first place.
