High Performance Dog Food, Supplements and Nutritional Products

I recently concluded that a dog with a short muzzle may have excellent endurance. This is contrary to what most sport people believe.The frenchies or French Bull Dogs we have milled seem to have quick recovery time & impressive endurance. Why?.....My thoughts are (perhaps) a clear air way. A nice short rear palate, not blocking air into that well sprung chest appears to be the endurance solution.

The way I determine if a palate is too long & too soft is by working a dog & listening for a clicking sound. The norm is shorter muzzles produce pronounced clicking. The French Bull Dog is one of the exceptions to this belief.

The French-man's breathing, even when he pushes himself quite hard is not very audible. Saliva is minimal,the shape of the dog's tongue shows minimal swelling, with a body temperature averaging under 105 degrees fahrenheit, based on a 2 dog test. It is important to note our gym area averages an ambient temperature of approximately 50 degrees fahrenheit. (Based on 12 months) This makes for ideal milling. We discourage milling on sultry days. 

We have only milled male French Bull Dogs. We have never milled or fed a French Bull Dog bitch. Many of the males we have milled are from eastern Europe, via pet shops & three were bred in the USA. The milling results appear uniform regardless of the dog's birth place or pedigree.
