How can you effectively make a French Bulldog’s ears stand up?
Normally a French Bulldog starts raising its ears around 40 days. If they never stand, it may be calcium deficiency; supplement with calcium tablets or powder plus calcium-rich foods like tofu skin, bone broth, goat milk, beef, chicken breast, and egg yolk. More sunlight helps vitamin D and calcium absorption. If ears still do not stand after supplementation, a genetic defect or ear disease may be the cause.
What is a dog that comes when called like?

What is the red (small bull) French Bulldog like?

Will a Husky Die If Raised Like a Village Dog?
No—a husky won't die from being raised like a village dog; its body and metabolism are basically the same, so the same feeding method won't kill it. But long-term table scraps burden the kidneys and shorten life. Skipping deworming and vaccines risks parasites and distemper/parvo/coronavirus, which can be fatal. It also looks scrawnier with rough, dull coat.
How to Feed a Pregnant Dog for Healthy Puppies
