You all know he is proven many times over and loves to throw his panda around. He is a Black Panda Koi Fluffy French Bulldog. Compact and built for days. With Kong and Grinch 🩸 your program will never be the same. Reach out to either of us to lock in and level up your camp.

🌟This is for all you and your uninformed clients who keep telling you , there’s not fluffy frenchies and you’re breeding muts and so on .
🌟The first documented long-haired French Bulldogs likely date back to the early 1900s, with a specific example being Mooney de Montgobert, born around 1912 in France, who was described in a 1933 book. These "fluffy Frenchies" are the result of a recessive long-hair gene, which was present in the original ratter dogs used to develop the breed from English Bulldogs. Although breeders intentionally selected against the gene to adhere to the breed standard of a short, smooth coat, making them rare, the gene has been maintained and selectively reintroduced in recent times.
🌟Early Origins: The long-haired gene was present in the foundational ratter dogs used to create the French Bulldog breed in the 1800s.
Documented Case: Mooney de Montgobert, a long-haired French Bulldog born in France around 1912, was featured in a 1933 book, serving as an early documented instance of the trait.
Recessive Trait: The long hair is due to a recessive gene (LH gene) that requires two copies to be visually expressed.
Breeding and Culling: In the early 20th century, the long-haired variety was not favored and was selectively bred out, with puppies exhibiting the trait often culled to meet the standard.
Resurgence: There has been a resurgence of interest in "fluffy Frenchies" due to the recessive gene's consistent presence and the increasing popularity of unique coat types.
✨You can actually see that it was opposite: The fluffy gene was selectively suppressed ✨
🌟 Ancestral Mutation: The ancestral trait for short hair exists in wolves, but a mutation in the FGF5 gene led to long hair in dogs.
🌟 Single Mutation, Multiple Breeds: Analysis suggests a single mutation occurred for each long-hair trait, which was then transferred to various breeds through hybridization.
✨Like you can see it’s another mutation that exists in different breeds.
🌟It’s Good to know that :
-L1: A common, original long-hair allele that gives a soft, longer coat.
- L4: A newer variant that results in a longer, denser, and thicker coat, and is found in breeds like the Afghan Hound, Eurasier, and French Bulldog.
