Division VII sponsored OFA BOAS tests at this past weekend's Capital Bulldog Club's specialty show. They tested 12 at the show, and everyone passed. Several received the best score, a zero! Millie scored a respectable 1 and helped convince others to get in line. I was proud of her and of the rest of the bulldoggers attendance at the show.

Fantastic! Hopefully they’ll start talking about all the healthy bulldogs that can breathe instead of just focusing on the poorly bred ones. I know a few people whose dogs have gotten zero or 1.

I think the breeder we purchased from was participating at this show. If I remember right, her girl Adeline won. I have to check her FB page again
