There is someone trying to breed actually healthy French bulldogs, they're called "Hawbucks" if I recall. I suppose it will take some years to fully accomplish.


Their nose still looks quite short and the tail is still short and curly. Those genetics are fixed and hard or impossible to change without breeding in other breeds, which would ruin the "frenchiness" of it all.

In my opinion this breed should be abandoned. Too many problems to fix and the generations between now and the "fix" still have to live with them.
