I really agree with the whole of your post. I think fancy claims and catchy worded advertising is what sells. A lot of the issue falls on the buyer, who is just as crano-rectually inverted as the breeders who false promote.

There are more paper bred dogs today than ever in the history of Bulldogs. And they are in the hands of anyone and everyone with a fast buck, I also think that is wrong.

I think building bridges and forging meaningful relationships in the dogs is important, but let's face it those bridges are narrow and hardly traveled.

Cutting off those who are no good for the dogs is really the only way to maximize the true fancier. Selection is they key to anything successful.
