Who presents it

Shelly Wright is the AI presenter of FrenchBulldogs.co.uk. She is generated, not a person, and she says so wherever she appears. She presents what the site has published; she has no history with dogs of her own and gives no advice of her own.

FrenchBulldogs.co.uk is not veterinary advice, and does not pretend otherwise. Where a page describes a clinical matter, it says what the current veterinary consensus is and points you at your own vet for the decision. Where the research is contested, as it is on lifespan in this breed, the page says so and shows both figures.

If you have knowledge that improves something here, particularly if you work in practice, we would rather hear it than not.

Why the tone is what it is

This breed is wonderful company. It is also, on the current evidence, one of the least healthy dogs you can choose, and the market around it is full of people who profit from you not knowing that until after the money has changed hands.

So the writing here is plain about cost and risk before purchase rather than after. That occasionally means arguing against a sale — the pages on rare colours and on "teacup" dogs both actively tell people not to spend money. That is deliberate.

How the cost figures are produced

Every monetary figure comes from one shared model rather than being typed into individual pages, so the calculator, the cost pages and the health pages cannot quietly disagree with one another. Change a number once and the whole site updates.

Each figure carries a source and a verification date, published in full on where our figures come from. That page also explains a distinction most sources blur: the proportion of French Bulldogs affected by a condition is not the proportion treated for it, and only the second one generates a bill.

Veterinary accuracy

Health pages describe signs, causes, diagnostic routes and treatment options as they are currently understood. They are not diagnostic tools and they do not replace a consultation. Where guidance has genuinely changed — the shift towards rapid aggressive cooling in heat stroke, or away from removing the third eyelid gland in cherry eye — we say so, because outdated advice circulates widely in this breed and causes real harm.

Every page carries a review date. Anything older than twelve months should be treated with more caution than something reviewed recently.

What we will not do

• Take commission from breeders or puppy sellers — not now, not ever
• Accept payment for coverage, placement or a favourable review
• Recommend something because it pays better
• Publish about a condition purely because it has products attached
• Use photographs of dogs in distress to drive clicks
• Present the site as veterinary advice

Corrections and contact

If something here is wrong, we want to know — particularly on the health pages. Corrections are made promptly and the review date updated.

mail@frenchbulldogs.co.uk — corrections, questions about a figure, or anything a page gets wrong. If you can point at a source, that helps, but it is not a requirement for telling us something looks off.
