Brisbane, Australia — Hollywood Bulldogs AUS has achieved a world-first milestone in canine genetics: producing 6-panel DNA-clear British Bulldogs, verified free from ADAMTS3, HUU, DM, CMR1, and both Cystinuria variants (SLC3A1 + SLC7A9).
This success marks the next evolution in Bulldog health — a scientific breakthrough that proves responsible breeding can overcome the breed's historic respiratory and genetic challenges.
Scientific Significance
This milestone follows the program's ongoing success under the MDBA Breeding for Health Genetic Action Plan, which targets elimination of BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) through ADAMTS3 genetic pairing and comprehensive DNA screening.
The achievement represents years of selective, data-driven breeding to eliminate genetic health risks while maintaining genetic diversity in British Bulldogs.
The Six Health Markers
- ✓ADAMTS3 — Prevents airway obstruction (BOAS)
- ✓HUU — Prevents bladder stones
- ✓DM — Prevents paralysis risk
- ✓CMR1 — Prevents hereditary blindness risk
- ✓Cystinuria SLC3A1 — Prevents urinary tract blockages
- ✓Cystinuria SLC7A9 — Prevents kidney blockages
Statement from Hollywood Bulldogs AUS
"Our aim is to use the genetic tools available to us to make better-informed breeding decisions for British Bulldogs. Every puppy is backed by DNA screening, written documentation, and a commitment to reducing the impact of known, testable genetic conditions in the breed."
