@Zoe…. Not sure why you are so certain about you facts about the dogs WILL need XYZ and have XYZ problems. Seeing as how you said WILL and not maybe, I have to say your facts are INCORRECT. I have 2 and have raised 14 total and NOT ONE has all that you are so sure about!

Fine breed and like any other breed you have to train them and take care of them

We had to have our Staffordshire bull terrier put to sleep when he was 14 due to pancreatic cancer and sadly me and the children just weren’t coping without him, we waited a year as grief took over and I couldn’t help but feel bad getting another dog. A year on from our cesars death we decided to start looking at pups, I scrolled through on a dog website and found puppies who looked very skinny and poorly so I decided I would be the one to save any that I could. I messaged the breeder and only 1 was left so I said I would take him. We got him insured straight away and had him seen by a vet who said actually he was in good health apart from being under weight, having fleas, worms and a slight skin reaction from not being looked after properly. He was put on some antibiotics and thankfully so far we’ve had no issues, he’s now 13 weeks and we would be lost without him. He is 7/8 pug and french bulldog, he’s very clingy and I can’t even go to the toilet without him being by my feet. He’s always on the go but sleeps like a baby all night, he’s very good with my children who’s ages range from 8-3. I would definitely recommend this breed to anyone with small children! We love you kartel

I’m sorry, but this article needs to either be taken down or majorly modified. It contains misinformation about these dogs. Although some might think they seem cute at first, they are a cross between two incredibly unethical dog breed standards. Ask yourself why you would willingly support the breeding of french bulldogs and pugs to a traditional breed standard as is, and then ask why on earth you would think crossing them would be in any way a good idea.
You briefly mention potential health risks. This is not enough. ‘Frugs’ will (not “may”, WILL) inherit BOAS. This basically means that they cannot breathe properly. They WILL need surgery to correct this, and most likely to correct the dermatitis/infected skin folds on their faces. Not only will the owner have to “be keen” to visit the vet, they will have to have thousands of dollars saved and put aside for the inevitable surgeries that the dog WILL require throughout its life. These dogs posture is more often than not incorrect and they will inevitably develop severe arthritis, pain, and an inability to move properly in addition to not being able to breathe. In fact, french bulldogs have recently been declared to be “no longer typical dogs” due to their severe health issues, including the fact that they usually cannot even give birth naturally.
If you are doing your research on what dog to buy by reading shallow, hollow articles like this I just want you to know I am horrified by you. And to the author of this page, shame on you for implying in any way that these dogs are ethical or fine to breed and buy. Its time we stood up to the dog breeding industry and stopped practicing and supporting borderline abusive breeding practices. I am a vet student and hear stories and see case studies every day about brachycephalic breeds in pain, having surgery and dying early. A vet I worked with in the past used to sadly joke about how she sees so many french bulldogs/pugs/etc that they have single-handedly paid for her retirement. It’s just depressing and sad and it makes me sick to see pages like this acting like they are all cute and happy. They aren’t. They are unhealthy, unethical and you would be better off not supporting any sort of designer breeding like this. It’s just sick.
