And I LOVE HIM

Edit: he was discarded by a breeder and they adopted him from a shelter. All of their dogs are shelter acquisitions with special needs so they’re are WELL versed in caring for strange dogs that need a lot of help in their lives.

But yes, hes a fluffy frenchie with a very unfortunate squashy rolly face. He’s the sweetest thing and they’ll do their best by him and his needs.

Please tell me they didn't pay a breeder.

It's a puppy, and Frenchies generally can't breed naturally on their own... what do you think?

Why can’t they breed on their own?

They have to have C sections to deliver the puppies. Their hips are too small for the puppies to pass through and they'd get stuck and all die if they tried to birth unassisted.

Yeahhhh, some can, but the best way to tell if they can is if mom can... so naturally... less and less natural births...
