And nowadays ppl will mix colours. We need to not put all breeders in the same boat. You think all these clubs AKC CKC etc donāt mix? Pffffft...... A lot of memberās furballs have colour in them. Sure doesnāt mean they all came from bad breeders. It is what it is, so be it.
Btw, Iāve noticed that here in the US there is more experimenting with English bulldog breed, people trying to get new colours. In the Old world and even in China EB is one of the most desired and āsacredā breed, so breeders are more conservative and will never risk reputation and breed EB with other breed dog. Among problems which arise from this āreligiousā approach to EB breeding only between purebred bulldogs, you will rather see exaggerated typical traits of bulldogs - severe underbite, palate, nares and hip problems from birth. But never ever before arriving to the US I had a chance to see EB with visible other breeds in them. So, America is probably more innovative and brave in experimenting.
So, health wise I would say that probably it is not too bad, and may be EB in America have brighter, healthier future as a breed. But being completely hooked on typical bulldog appearances - flat big round head, low positioned small rose ears, thick nose rope, wide shark mouth, wide chest, thick front paws and small hind paws ( I always say that Iāve got a set made from two dogs, paws come from different dogs!), high butt and crooked tail, two folds of skin running from neck to tummy...Personally I would never trade it for fancy colour! I can already foresee problems in the future if I want another bully, may be I will have to go to Great Britain or Canada to buy an old fashioned, perfect EB puppy!
Look at this royal bulldogs! May be I am insane, but these pictures make my heart melt! Typical bulldog appearance!
Bulldgs even have very special gait, front paws must run to the side like a lion and back paws move together like they are tied together when they run faster or all butt wags from side to side when they run slower!
Ok, ok, I know, Iām insane and have no intention to look for treatment....
