HOW DO DOGS SEE THE WORLD?

Dogs and humans have distinct visual systems, shaped by their unique evolutionary paths. While humans possess trichromatic vision, allowing us to perceive red, blue and green that combine to create every colour on the visible light spectrum, dogs have dichromatic vision which means they see the world in shades of yellow, blue, and grey, but not red.

Their field of vision is wider than humans, with a range of 270 degrees compared to our 180 degrees. The visual acuity of a dog is lower than ours, making distant objects appear blurrier, however dogs have a higher sensitivity to movement than we do so they can detect motion better than we can.

It has been observed that dogs love the Australian animated series “Bluey”, while they may not understand the plot, dogs love to watch this animated series featuring an Australia Blue Heeler puppy. Here's why:

Bluey's colourful animation is tailored to canine vision of blues, yellow and grey, the show's characters' are drawn in simple designs and bold lines making them easily recognisable for dogs.

Bluey's storylines often revolve around play, exploration, and family dynamics which are all familiar concepts for our canine companions. The show's energetic pace and engaging sound effects keep dogs captivated, much like their natural instincts to respond to movement and sounds.

While dogs may not grasp the narrative, they connect with the visual and auditory elements of Bluey. So, the next time you're looking for something to binge-watch on the couch with your doggos, watch a few episodes of Bluey and enjoy seeing your dogs engage and watch the show with you as they experience their own doggy version and visual reality of Bluey going about his life adventures.

ONE BREATH AT AT TIME... DO NOT BUY A PUPPY UNTIL YOU READ THIS POST!
THE RUNDOWN ON RESPIRATORY FUNCTIONAL GRADING
(RFG) TESTING FOR BRACHYCEPHALIC DOG BREEDS:
It is no secret that brachycephalic dogs (flat faced breeds) including our beloved bulldogs can often struggle to breathe. This condition is known as Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). Whilst there are specific features known to increase the risk of BOAS, such as pinched nares, oversized nose ropes, flat faces and thick necks, RFG testing helps to assess the presence and severity of breathing difficulties.
RFG testing evaluates the dog's airway and exercise tolerance and tested dogs are graded from 0 to 3. Grade 0 dogs have no BOAS symptoms, Grade 1 dogs have mild symptoms but are not clinically affected, grade 2 and 3 dogs are of concern showing moderate to severe airway obstruction and respiratory distress.
RFG testing is a game changer for breeders and the test is cheap ($130 - $150 is the average cost). There is no excuse for a breeder to not be doing this test on their dogs if they are serious about improving the health of their future litters. RFG testing is a valuable tool to allow breeders to assist in identifying and selecting dogs with the best respiratory function possible to reduce the risk of BOAS in their puppies.
RFG is responsible breeding practice and should be incorporated into every brachycephalic breeder's health testing. This test was developed by a renowned university and their recommendation is that only dogs that have been RFG tested should be bred from.

Puppy buyers should exercise extreme caution when buying pups from untested parents. However, remember that the way BOAS is inherited is not fully understood and is not always entirely predictable. Using RFG recommendations to guide breedings will in most cases result in reducing BOAS affected puppies, but there is no guarantee that a puppy from two unaffected parents will be free from BOAS. This is why breeders should also be looking and selecting against the other known conformational risk factors such as pinched nares, thick short necks, overly short snouts etc.

We are looking for a Guardian Home on or near the Gold Coast for our beautiful female puppy, Rune. She is a very special girl (single copy DVL2 and CDDY) in our breeding program towards eliminating these mutated genes that cause spinal problems from our breeding lines. We do not believe in rehoming retired dogs and we avoid this at all costs, so we prefer to place our future breeding dogs in guardian homes so they can be part of a family right from the beginning.
There are terms and conditions, please email me at [email protected] for more information and don't forget to let us know why you feel you would be the perfect guardian home for one of our future breeding dogs.

UPDATE ON ARI ✈️🐾❤️
Ari touched down in Heathrow Airport yesterday afternoon and was united with Anne, my breeding colleague from Denmark (Ari's new dog mum). He is safe and well and they are now making the 19 hour drive back to Denmark where he will live out a wonderful life. I'm still sad and missing him but that space in my heart is filling with happiness because I know he is in excellent hands, will be so very loved and will make an incredible contribution towards improving the health of French Bulldogs over in Europe. Until we meet again my handsome little man, you make me so proud!

23/07/2024

Lovely Luna is now all ready to go board the bus to Wollongong. Just 2 more sleeps before she meets her excited new pawrents Luci and Luke ❤️

22/07/2024

Ari left today on his long journey across the world to Denmark.
In the planning since he was just weeks old, we always knew this day would come, but words cannot describe the emotion of it all, so many tears of grief saying goodbye but also tears of joy knowing he is going to an amazing breeder who's dogs are part of her family.
Anne's love for and expertise in the breed as well as her dedication to improve the health of French Bulldogs bought us together and what is planned with Ari will produce incredible offspring in terms of health for this breed both here in Australia in the coming months and also in Europe. Ari is a single copy DVL2 and single copy CDDY stud boy, clear of all recessive diseases and with an incredible low COI of 14% (breed average is 20%), he has passed his health tests here with flying colours including Respiratory Functional Grading, Xray, CFR, NGR and DNA. Bonvoyage my little man, one special boy who has touched our hearts deeply and will never be forgotten.

22/07/2024

Last hugs goodbye for Lachie and Ari. Our dogs are our part of our family and we will miss him greatly. Ari is about to leave us for Denmark to be the countries first single copy n/DVL2 and n/CDDY purebred French Bulldog. He will make an important contribution to towards bettering the health of future progeny and ensuring the breeds future in Denmark🇩🇰❤️

A LITTLE BIT OF A LONG POST ... but trust me, worth the read :)

Our little girl Dream, who has been renamed to Clover, made her long flight to Los Angeles this week. Thanks to Petflights for once again facilitating and taking great care of our puppies heading abroad. Clover's new mum Michelle reached out to us a few months ago when a huge hole was left in her heart after the loss of her beautiful Frenchie boy Jack. Jack crossed the rainbow bridge at age 3 from severe respiratory problems otherwise known as BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome). This was despite several surgeries to ease his work of breathing and save his life :(
Clover is a single copy DVL2 puppy, (DVL2 is the recessive mutation that has been identified as the cause of deformed vertebrae in the spines of over 95% of French Bulldogs.....BUT DVL2 GENE ELIMINATION BREEDERS ARE WORKING HARD TO CHANGE THIS PERCENTAGE!! We xrayed her spine and she is hemivertebrae free. She also has a longer snout and open nares like her parents Rebel and Captain who were both awarded grade 0 (perfect score) on their Respiratory Functional Grading (RFG) assessment. We are confident that that Clover will grow up to live a long and happy life with her new dog mum Michelle and will be BOAS free with no breathing problems robbing her of the life she deserves to have as any other living creature on this earth.
Cant wait to watch the adventures of Clover and her Californian mum Michelle. Much love to you both ❤️

NOTE: The dog in the video below is NOT a Chaleureux French Bulldog Not many puppy buyers have a good understanding of what Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) is. We are posting this video to raise awareness of this problem and the suffering that BOAS can cause. BOAS in most cases will progressively get worse over time. The exact cause is unknown, however it is known that flat faces, pinched nostrils and thick short necks are high risk factors for developing BOAS. Unfortunately there is no cure for BOAS, corrective surgery is expensive and sadly a high percentage of dogs do not significantly clinically improve. Dogs with BOAS suffer, cannot live a normal life and die much sooner than they should. Breeders can greatly reduce the risk of BOAS developing in their puppies by selecting breeding pairs that do not have BOAS, extreme flat features, pinched nostrils or thick short necks. There are also genetic factors that may increase the risk of BOAS and here in our breeding program we have been incorporating research, genetics and selecting for less extreme features for many years to improve health. BOAS and breathing problems including snoring are not NORMAL for any dog. BOAS surgery is not a cure, the best way to deal with BOAS is aim to prevent it in the first place with good breeding practices, incorporated with sound research, genetics and clinical assessment including the new Respiratory Functional Grading (RFG) test.
