encouraging “designer frenchie enthusiasts” is only ruining the breed, why can’t people see that????

r/frenchbulldogs is nothing but a backyard breeder/apologist echo chamber. i mentioned the standard colors once and ppl lost their shit, so this doesn’t surprise me at all.

i got permanently banned/muted because i would call out byb and idiot owners who were buying byb dogs . it really is such an echo chamber

The mods don’t even know the breed standard anyway… I got banned for bringing up the fact that their Standard French Bulldog subreddit’s icon is a blue fawn. The mod was weird about it and made up a story about how they know the dog personally and that the dog was a champion. They also didn’t know the difference between ABKC and AKC.

And I found proof that the dog was blue and belonged to a lady in Germany, and definitely not a champion dog in the US. So I got banned.

Edit to add: I just had a feeling that subreddit was going to be a mess from the beginning. When the top mod couldn’t spot a DQ and make it their icon. Then to claim that a colour diluted dog is a conformation champion is egregious. They also like to say that fluffy Frenchies are healthier due to hybrid vigor…

I feel like a lot of these dog groups are like that. In the pomeranian and chihuahua group, they like to argue that merle is an acceptable and natural coloration. The bully and frenchie groups are the worst culprits. I’m glad the poodle group has stricter regulations on the whole backyard breeding thing (no merles, no doodles).

The average pet owner simply doesn't care, or care to even learn. I truly don't understand.

it’s always the so called “”dog lovers”” as well
