Fox 29 anchor Mike Jerrick asked the burning question, "The screaming question is, why are people stealing them?"

Berarado says the value of each French Bulldog may be motivation for theft as they range in price from $5,000 to $10,000.

In 2021, singer and actress, Lady Gaga was a victim of two of her French Bulldogs being stolen.

Either get a cheaper dog,

Or buy a watchdog for your dog.

The overvaluation of bulldogs has led to the “bulldog bubble”. (The French, not the Georgia, bulldog types)

World’s Ugliest Breed of Cannie, bar none!
Imagine if an English Bulldog and a Mexican Chihuahua had a Baby, I mean Puppy.

I was in this dog store,’’ says Norm MacDonald. ‘’Guy wants to sell me the most expensive dog in the store, a pit bull.’’

‘’600 bucks this dog costs.’’

‘’I was looking for a cheap dog. I wanted a nice discount dog. A bargain dog. Dog of the week, that`s what I was looking for.’’

‘’This guy says, `Oh, no, ya gotta buy the pit bull.` He says this pit bull will protect your valuables.

‘’I don`t have anything that valuable, really. I buy the pit bull, that would be the most valuable thing I own. I`d have to buy something to protect it. I`d be out pricing wolverines the next day, you know? Show me something in a timberwolf, my good man, I’d be saying to some good man somewhere.’’

Agreed but stealing animals is especially despicable IMO......reptiles are the exception however.

It’s kind of odd. Nobody has ever attempted to steal my Malinois or Dutch Shepherds!

I have a friend who has one of these dogs. Seems it’s always at the Vet or always sick, and it’s only 5 years old.

Though I love dogs, I’ll stick w/ Siamese cats. They’re smarter and live much longer.

These dogs are very popular with a certain demographic which also favors gold chains, drugs, and "grills".

Our neighbors have one of these dogs. When I’m working outside, it comes waddling up. Snorf! Snorf! It has a shark smile on a guppy body; two eyes looking in different directions. I pet it, and it waddles away. Snorf! Snorf!

I don’t get the attraction. I like our whoodles better, and they usually keep it out of the yard if they are out.

"The screaming question is, why are people stealing them?"

They are easy to steal because they are small and usually will not bite.

They are rare and thus pricy because they are not easy to breed.

They are very cute.

They are also essentially useless.

They certainly were not bred for their brains that is for sure.

They do make a nice handwarmers.
