Abstract

The article focuses on the rising popularity of the French bulldog in the United States, which has recently become the most prevalent dog breed despite never winning the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club dog show. The breed's ascent is attributed to its portrayal in media and pop culture, as well as its appealing characteristics such as a manageable size and friendly demeanor. However, concerns about the health risks associated with French bulldogs, particularly due to their physical traits, have emerged, prompting calls for responsible breeding practices. The article highlights the mixed feelings among breeders regarding the breed's newfound popularity and the potential for health issues stemming from increased demand. [Extracted from the article]
