FRENCH BULLDOGS

Suppose you know someone who doesn't have a lot of money, wants to live in an RV, and wants to own one of these highly expensive genetically fucked up dogs. They also "have been reading on it man" and they assume they can get a deal on one for a few hundred. I looked them up and I had no idea these dogs had to be artificially inseminated, then have a c-section to give birth, they need a high protein diet, and can get overheated very easily.
They also might have genetic deficiencies that would require them to go to the vet constantly unless you find a highly reputable dealer for one, and then they cost 3,500-10,000 bucks! WTF do I say to this person to deter them from this breed of dog when they can't even take care of themselves hardly.

It would be cool to adopt a rescue dog instead.
Right now i am kicking my feet up on a table in the sunshine. Life is chill.

Get him an easy rescue dog
Say you really need someone to take care of it for a few days. Ya know, ease him into owning that dog instead
Here in NL, laws are being implemented to prohibit the breeding of such "designer" dogs

Bloody right. I fully support that.

With a dog like this the guy will want good pet insurance, remind him of the costs involved and likelyhood the dog will develop some kind of problems and could even die very young.
Gotta clean their faces every day or so, clean out their ears... Put up with the most disturbing sounds these dogs make.
I had two bulldogs, it's alot of work and when they get ear infections, breathing problems, facial sores etc.. Its really upsetting and won't be getting one of these designer dogs again.

Breed specific rescue, for sure.
Some of the more reputable ones are more expensive than your average rescue, but worth it for the work they do, and still less expensive than going to a breeder. I got a golden retriever puppy, perfectly healthy in every way from a breed specific rescue, for 600. He came with all his shots and a huge medical work up to rule out any problems.

Get him a French bulldog stuffed animal. He won’t have to feed it or worry about taking care of it that way.

I have a Frenchie and he rules.
Never had an issue.
I do software updates weekly and clean his ears out with compressed air.
Sometimes he glitches out a bit, but I just make sure to back him up on the external hard drive.
