A French bulldog named Winston, whose owner is Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Morgan Fox is a strong contender to take the trophy at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show
THEIR MEDIA IMAGE IMPACTS THEIR POPULARITY
“The dogs have become a form of fashion,” says Herzog, who wrote a book about human attitudes and conduct toward animals. French bulldog fans point to attributes beyond camera-readiness to explain the dogs' appeal. They boast easy-care coats, modest exercise needs, an apartment-friendly size and a demeanor memorably described as “a clown in the cloak of a philosopher.”
Winston, however, came within a whisker of the trophy last year, taking runner-up to the first bloodhound ever to win. The Frenchie later won another prominent competition, the National Dog Show in Philadelphia in November. He heads into Westminster Monday as one of the show world's most-winning dogs .
Longtime breeders who adhere to health testing and other guidelines feel that Frenchie fever already has attracted opportunistic, slapdash people producing anything-goes, possibly unhealthy pups. There's concern that “we’re losing the battle with education and just promoting a well-bred dog," Sosa said.Partly because of their pushed-in, wrinkly faces, the animals are susceptible to breathing, eye, and other problems.
