would lke to share this. Florence Savage was very worried about the nairs on our Bulldogs she noticed threw the years they became more pinched & said the judges must realize this is a 6pt feature and most points on the scale of points. When the bulldog was baiting the bull if this nose was not open he would of sufocated. Why is 6pts given, because the bulldog has a flat throat. This is why we need the nostrils large & wide. What is the meaning of nosehole giving passage of air to the lungs.

For easier breathing they bred a nose well laid back. The nose was broadened with wide nostrals. Remember they use to run and bait bulls

Only Disqualifcation on a bulldog is a brown or liver nose.

Flo was very concerned about the pinched nose and said this is a aquired fault and said please take the time to do something about it. Flo presented by Kim

Very well stated

and easy to understand. We must all acknowledge this when we consider breeding.

Interesting...

I've been aware that bulldogs are a "head breed", but never really thought of the importance of nares like that--but it does make total sense. We need to do all we can to make sure our breed can breathe and move properly (they already have enough challenges!) Good word, Kim.
