Obisety in bulldogs praised?

[BabyGirlBullDozer]

So I haven't posted in a bit Christmas and the holidays were crazy but now that I have a little more time im back..so had a question about extremely over weight bulldogs is this the norm? im talking like when you cant see a neck on them in a pic? reason I ask was I had been in a bulldog group on FB that I left cause of this some women posted a pic of a clearly morbidly obese dog he looks so uncomfortable poor thing he had to be near 200 pounds and everyone on the thread was saying how handsome he was anyone asking or questioning about his health got their comments deleted even if you asked in a nice way poof..its just so crazy to me that lettings ones animal get to the point were they look like they might not be able to walk would ever be seen as attractive and positive..is that the norm or is FB just that special of a place?

I've no idea about FB, dogs must not be obese. Ideally, the waistline should be clearly visible and you should be able to feel but not see the rib cage if you look at the dog from above. The dog you saw in that picture needs help, poor thing.

That's what I thought too he literally had triple chins you could not see any neck line his face was also huge almost no wrinkles no ribs anywhere in sight he would prob have had to lose a good 100 pounds before you could see ribs and all these people were saying how gorgeous it was talk about warped realities... im glad it wasn't just me who thinks that's sad

Unfortunately some people think that bulldogs are suppose to be “big” but an overweight dog is not a healthy dog.

People think Duke’s not eating enough n thin. He’s perfect as he is. I rather he be a few pounds under than over. Cause once they hit 3yrs old the body shifts. Sad when you have a forum that deletes your opinion that speaks the truth. Guess some people can’t handle the truth.

I have found that on FB people are super sensitive about getting "common sense" advice. IMO they are not on there to get any real help, just HEY look at my bulldog... that is one of the reasons I like EBN so much. People will give you their opinion in a constructive not criticizing manner.

And YES I do believe that bulldogs are getting larger, and some people don't understand that they are putting their dogs at risk for severe health issues on down the line.

From what you describe... that poor baby needs help

I am in a lot of bulldog FB pages but raely to never respond because people really don't want your honest advice

I agree it is sad there were a good 50+ posts of praise for the owners I was one of two people who spoke out showing concern the sad thing is groups like that only hurt the breed as they perpetuate the idea that's healthy I left it myself you cant argure with that level of stupid...

They are extremely sensitive and I agree its pretty much just a attention site anyone with any genuine common sense advice unless it goes with the mob mentality is not going to be received very well.. that's what upset me I saw that bully and I could just imagine the poor guy not being able to run or play heck my girl has gained almost 10 pounds in a few months and im noticing her straining a little more so im watching her intake more closely cause I care about her health not some weird ideal that they are suppose to be huge..I agree Im so glad I found this place I can get honest unbiased genuine advice its amazing!
