>> so, the myth behind small bulldogs, they're not healthy. Poor dogs. They already most commonly bulls can't can't already breathe and making them smaller is is is cruel whatever blah blah blah. And this is totally wrong and it's ignorant talking. And [music] when I say ignorant, ignorant means not knowing it's people that don't know. Because I don't know if if you know this, but the some of the longest living healthiest dogs, I mean not some of the longest living healthiest dogs are all smaller dogs. Chihuahuas, rat terriers, all those all those smaller dogs. [music] and if you don't and also factual is that smaller people statistically live longer healthier lives, too. Why? Less gravium. Why? [music] less less pressure on the.
And so, smaller is actually healthier longer living. It's just that if you do smaller in a unethical uneducated way, you get unhealthy. Just like if you do big and un- like like you do anything in an unethical um wrong way, you can end up [music] with with it being bad. Long story short, small is not unhealthy. Small is better. It's less pressure from gravity, less pressure on the organs, all those things. It just has to be done ethically and properly. And the reason the reason we that small bulldogs and smaller dogs have the bad name like that, just really small bulldogs honestly because and you know that small dogs people love and it's it's it's they're healthier, you know, it's miniature pinscher, chihuahuas,.
Yorkies, all those things. They were they were they were once bigger dogs bred down from wolves and bred to a small dog and now they're a very healthy dog. So, to say that small is unhealthy is is completely uneducated. Now, the reason people say >> small bulldogs are unhealthy is because there's been lots of times where people have only bred a dog for one of those aspects I talk about. If you don't know what that aspect I talk about, you have to when you're breeding dogs, you want you want to you never want to breed unless you have all those aspects or majority of the aspects of the important aspects. And sometimes people will only have one aspect, for example, [music] small. They have two small.
Bulldogs, but they are mean dogs, bad [music] temperament. They are aggressive, bad temperament. They are unhealthy, they can barely walk, they can barely >> those are those right there are the dogs that never be bred. But, people don't care because they want small and they know small sells, and then they breed it and they get small, but it's unhealthy.
That that that's that's why you you see that and you see it's harder to breed it's harder to get a dog that has all those checklists. If you don't know what checklists I'm talking about, I believe it's episode 32 or 30, whatever. You can check it out. Go check it I'll put it right here so you can see all the stuff I talk about about.
When you don't have when you're just breeding for one aspect as far as small, and you don't cover all their aspects, yes, you will get unhealthy. Yes, you will get bad bad dogs. But, in in in the grand scheme of things, small is healthier, small is small is is longer life, uh and it's it's going to be better. It's just that you have that stereotype and you a lot of people start in the in the way bulldogs came off in the beginning of getting small was exactly what I'm telling you is is through bad bad breeding. But, if you're breeding if you're breeding properly, like, for example, DaMilkMan, he's tiny. >> he runs circles around 99% of all standard bulldogs. He's he's healthier, he breathes better,.
His his his trachea's obvious everything is is bigger. Um he runs better, he's structured up great, he's compact, he's thick, but he he is healthy overall, and that's why the reason he's healthy is because his parents are healthy. His grandparents are healthy, and that all accumulation of health and structure and size all together now makes mini and micro dogs. And in a little bit, I'm going to show you milk tea, who's the DaMilkMan's daughter, who is crazy healthy as well, crazy functional, runs, jumps, everything, >> and is even smaller, very very small. And is she unhealthy? No, she is not unhealthy. Could a small dog be unhealthy? Yes. Could a small dog be healthier? Yes. Statistically speaking, are small dogs healthier? Yes. Are statistically speaking,.
Do small dogs live longer? Yes. To wrap things up, all dogs start big. They were created they were they were bred down to be smaller dogs and small and smaller breeds. And now those smaller breeds are the healthiest breeds because because statistically speaking, we know smaller things are going to are going to.
>> live longer. I know you could say like elephants, I'm trying to think of examples, right? Elephants do live do live really long. But you talk about >> smaller people live longer. That's statistics. And uh same same thing with dogs. You can Google it right now. So, smaller dogs are not unhealthy. Small dogs it's a relative thing. And if a small dog was bred properly, bred for health, structure, temperament, functionality, cared for properly, all those things by ethical, moral breeder, that small dog is going to be healthy statistically speaking. And the same thing with bulldogs, same thing with with [music] with miniature great danes, if ever anyone ever made them, it's the same thing. It's just going to be relative to that specific breed, [music] that dog's.
Lines, that dog's parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and all those things make an accumulation of a small of a healthy or unhealthy dog. Here at the vest bulls ranch, we [music] never we do not breed. And like I've said before, I don't agree in breeding unless you're hitting all those aspects, especially the important [music] the the the most important ones, the health, the function the overall health, the functionality, and the temperament. Those three things you cannot settle for less. If a dog has is is aggressive, if a dog has bad health, if a dog has bad doesn't matter. We we can't do we can't we can over overall in those three aspects, like I say, I put them on a on a scale from 1 to 10.
If it's not a five or above, five is average, six above. If it's not a five or above on any of those three things, it's a period not breed. That's that will make dogs better. That will make everything better. Um that will, you know, >> minimize the pounds. We get better dogs, all kinds of things. Temperament, structure, health, all that all that stuff. And then I'm going to rant anyway. Small bulldogs are not unhealthy. [music] take it to the bank. I'm going to get into showing you milk tea right now.
