Thread: Improving the health of the bulldog

Nobody here in this discussion will argue with that. Breeding to a confirmation standard alone is a quick way to ruin, it is well documented in many breeds. Nobody here was discussing that. The original poster asked how the people with great success in breeding performance animals have done it, and who was brave enough to do it down under. Traditionally you find people who breed for what it does, not what they looks like, have a great variation of physical type in their kennels as performance is the priority. My own dogs would get laughed out of the conformation show ring, and long may that last. It is what they do that concerns me, and with out that purpose they would cease to exist.
