Reminder of FBD breed standard, this is important as it stems over time from 1800s

General Appearance
The French Bulldog has the appearance of an active, intelligent, muscular dog of heavy bone, smooth coat, compactly built, and of medium or small structure. The hallmarks of the breed are the square head with bat ears and the roach back. Expression alert, curious, and interested.
Proportion and Symmetry - All points are well distributed and bear good relation one to the other; no feature being in such prominence from either excess or lack of quality that the animal appears poorly proportioned.
Influence of S*x - In comparing specimens of different s*x, due allowance is to be made in favor of bi***es, which do not bear the characteristics of the breed to the same marked degree as do the dogs.
Size, Proportion, Substance: Weight not to exceed 28 pounds; over 28 pounds is a disqualification. Proportion - Distance from withers to ground in good relation to distance from withers to onset of tail, so that animal appears compact, well balanced and in good proportion. Substance - Muscular, heavy bone.
Head
Head large and square. Eyes dark, brown or approaching black in color, wide apart, set low down in the skull, as far from the ears as possible, round in form, of moderate size, neither sunken nor bulging. Lighter brown colored eyes are acceptable, but not desirable. Blue or green eye(s) or any traces of blue or green are a disqualification. No haw and no white of the eye showing when looking forward. Ears - Known as the bat ear, broad at the base, elongated, with round top, set high on the head but not too close together, and carried erect with the or***ce to the front. The leather of the ear fine and soft. Other than bat ears is a disqualification. The top of the skull flat between the ears; the forehead is not flat but slightly rounded. The muzzle broad, deep and well laid back; the muscles of the cheeks well developed. The stop well defined, causing a hollow groove between the eyes with heavy wrinkles forming a soft roll over the extremely short nose; nostrils broad with a well-defined line between them. Nose black. Nose other than black is a disqualification, except in the case of creams or fawns without black masks, where a lighter colored nose is acceptable but not desirable. Flews black, thick and broad, hanging over the lower jaw at the sides, meeting the underlip in front and covering the teeth and tongue, which are not seen when the mouth is closed. The underjaw is deep, square, broad, undershot and well turned up. Wry mouths and any bites other than undershot are serious faults.
Neck, Topline, Body
The neck is thick and well arched with loose skin at the throat. The back is a roach back with a slight fall close behind the shoulders, gradually rising to the loin which is higher than the shoulder, and rounding at the croup. The back is strong and short, broader at the shoulders, and tapering to the rear. The body is short and well rounded. The chest is broad, deep, and full; well ribbed with the belly tucked up. The tail is either straight or screwed (but not curly), short, hung low, thick root and fine tip; carried low in repose.
Forequarters
Forelegs are short, stout, straight, muscular and set wide apart. Dewclaws may be removed. Feet are moderate in size, compact and firmly set. Toes compact, well split up, with high knuckles and short stubby nails.
Hindquarters
Hind legs are strong and muscular, longer than the forelegs, so as to elevate the loins above the shoulders. Hocks well let down. Feet are moderate in size, compact and firmly set. Toes compact, well split up, with high knuckles and short stubby nails; hind feet slightly longer than forefeet.
Coat
Coat is brilliant, short and smooth. Skin is soft and loose, especially at the head and shoulders, forming wrinkles. Coats other than short and smooth are a disqualification.
Color
Acceptable colors: white, cream, fawn (ranging from light fawn to a red fawn), or any combinations of the foregoing. Markings and patterns are: brindle, piebald, black masks, black shadings, and white markings. Ticking is acceptable but not desired. Brindle ranges from sparse but clearly defined black stripes on a fawn background to such heavy concentration of black striping that the essential fawn background color barely shows through (ā€œblack brindleā€). Only a trace of the background color is necessary; in a brindle piebald, a trace of the brindle patterning in any patch is sufficient. All other colors, markings or patterns are a disqualification. Disqualifying colors and patterns include, but are not limited to, solid black, black and tan, black and white, white with black, blue, blue fawn, liver, and merle. Black means black without a trace of brindle.
Gait
Correct gait is a ā€œfour trackingā€ foot pattern with the front track wider than the rear track. The movement should have reach and drive and is unrestrained, free and vigorous.
Temperament
Well behaved, adaptable, and comfortable companions with an affectionate nature and even disposition; generally active, alert, and playful, but not unduly boisterous.
Disqualifications
* Over 28 pounds in weight.
* Blue or green eye(s) or any traces of blue or green.
* Other than bat ears.
* Nose other than black, except in the case of cream or fawn colored dogs without black masks, where a lighter colored nose is acceptable.
* Coats other than short and smooth.
* All coat colors other than those specifically described (e.g., Solid black, black and tan, black and white, white and black, blue, blue fawn, liver, and merle). Black means black without a trace of brindle. All other patterns and markings other than specifically described.

Another post from July 2020:

Sharing words that touched me, there is nothing wrong with adopting a dog, just as there is nothing wrong with choosing who and where you get a puppy from-

HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY?

Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email to simply ask the price. The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisingly states: ā€œI can buy a cheaper pup elsewhereā€. I also address you; the person who doesnā€™t care about papers because I want ā€œjust a petā€.

No dog is ā€œjust a petā€.

Behind every pure bred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. Iā€™m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory or mill. A reputable breeder does not breed dogs without papers, that does not protect the integrity of the breed. Registration (papers) are records of lineage that document bloodline and allow one to research any possible health issues present in the lineage. When you tell a Breeder you donā€™t care about papers what youā€™re really telling them is you couldnā€™t care less about the health of the puppy you just want the cheapest thing you can find! When you select to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every pup ; both dogs owned and every pup theyā€™ve sold for its lifetime. This breeder will skip holidays, miss sleeping, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs . The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it. Not only in puppies that are sold, but also in each client who owns a piece of their heart and now is a member of their extended family. This does not take into account any puppy/dog who might get sick or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take one back without question.

A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing. Because thatā€™s what life is about...In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning. A breeder will do tests, echos, x-rays, analysis, emergency c sections, vaccinations, register litters, research pedigrees, de-worm, as well as microchip their puppies and get them evaluated by specialists.

Last but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their puppies. Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they are not making money off the sale. There is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident its the right fit. Many times saying more noā€™s then yes...A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to carry on their bloodline, why? Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, itā€™s a lifestyle choice set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.

Because a dog is never ā€œjust a petā€ itā€™s the Breederā€™s legacy, a little boyā€™s best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly persons therapy, a member of the family, someoneā€™s whole world!!!

Worth the share with so much truth in this article. Responsible breeding and owning multiple dogs is a lifestyle and commitment that many are not able to comprehend. 7 days a week and 365 days a year with our lives revolving around the dogs.

Repost from Judge Elaine Lessing. A judge I enjoy showing to: posted Oct. 2020. I hope judge Lessing okay with passing on her words:

Experts or Critics?

By Elaine Lessig

When and how did we all become experts? Why do we feel compelled to even be one? More importantly, what makes us an expert? Who decides that someone actually is one? I ask all these questions because I am concerned. What I see are critics disguised as experts, with more of the former and less of the latter. Confusing one for the other is troubling.

I first started to realize that critics were portraying themselves as experts back in my early days of exhibiting Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. The specialties were all day events in hotel ballrooms or on hotel grounds. They were held over weekends, once a month, in one of the four regions established by the parent club. The serious breeders traveled all over the country to show their own dogs. Professional handlers were excluded from showing dogs other than their own.

Exhibitors remained ringside when they were not grooming or showing their dogs. The chatter and serious conversations started early in the day and continued until Best in Show was decided. Catalogs were reference books to be studied seriously and marked accurately. Judges were revered. Their knowledge respected. Their choices applauded.

Top breeders usually entered several dogs at each of these shows. That required traveling with numerous Vari-Kennels loaded into vehicles and airplane cargo holds, depending on the distance traveled. It also provided a novice like me with the opportunity to meet those icons of the breed and see their dogs, both those they bred and the ones they were importing, mostly from England.

It proved to be an invaluable learning experience for me. I sat spellbound at ringside constantly checking my catalog. Anytime I saw a dog that caught my eye and made my heart skip a beat, I noted the breeding. At opportune times, I approached the exhibitor to see the dog closely and ask questions. Some were welcoming, others not. Then there were those who approached me when they noticed I was seriously looking at dogs. I listened and observed. I took my time, lots of time, until I was certain of what I wanted and from whom. I began to distinguish the experts from the critics.

Most of my early choices proved to be good ones. I turned off the voices of the critics and concentrated on those of the experts. I enjoyed some successes in the ring and, eventually, in the whelping box, too. It was not easy, but it was all worthwhile. The pain was unbearable sometimes, but the joy was the inspiration to stay the course. It still is after thirty-plus years.

Think about your own breed, your own dogs. What amount of time did you take before deciding on a breed? How did you select the breeder? Have you been exhibiting for more than seven years? Are you a breeder? Do you belong to your parent club, local breed club, or an all breed club? Do you have a mentor? How important is mentoring to you? Is health testing something you do?

The answers to those questions are important. It separates the experts from the critics we all hear espousing their views at dog shows. If I have a spare moment at the end of a time slot before judging the next, I listen to the chatter outside the ring. Often, I

hear a small group of exhibitors who have finished showing their dogs in the next ring complaining that they did not win for this reason or that. I can see the judge and the photographer in that

ring. It is obvious that the winners being photographed are better than the dogs gathered nearby my ring. Still all I hear are the critics wasting time telling the others exactly what is wrong with the dogs who won, sometimes the judge, too. On and on it goes. It is easy now to recognize them. These are the critics, not the experts.

Experts can get us from the place where we are to the one we want to be. They provide a roadmap, support, and a positive way to achieve a goal based on knowledge and experience. Critics divert us from progress, fail to see the obvious, and create a negative environment which results in disappointment. Find that breeder, exhibitor, mentor, judge, or professional handler who has the expertise you desire. For a winning strategy, my advice is clear: avoid the critics.
