How are French Bulldog puppies different from adult French Bulldogs?

French Bulldog puppies need a different diet to adult French Bulldogs to help their bones and muscles grow strong.
Puppy vaccinations are essential to make sure they build up immunity to deadly diseases.
French Bulldogs are not an energetic breed, but exercising a puppy requires extra care.
You will need to make some adjustments to your house to prepare it for a new French Bulldog puppy addition.

Looking after French Bulldog puppies from the outset will reward you in the future, as a healthy start in life will increase the chances that your French Bulldog puppy has a healthy adult life too so that he can reach the full extent of his French Bulldog lifespan.

Reading up on how to look after your puppy is really important to ensure you are prepared for your new family member.

Get ready to start choosing what French Bulldog name and French Bulldog color you want!

Follow our practical (and easy) steps to ensure you end up with a healthy French Bulldog puppy, who doesn’t struggle with genetic diseases and grows up to be strong and fit.

How do I make sure my home is ready for a French Bulldog puppy?

If you have not had a puppy before, you might wonder where to start with the preparations to make your home puppy-friendly. There are things that need to be purchased, and alterations made, but in general, making your home puppy-friendly is not difficult.

The first place to start is to make sure your home is secure for French Bulldog puppies. You might think your home is very secure, but a small French Bulldog puppy might surprise you by sneaking out a small hole under a fence that you haven’t noticed.

Ensure you check your fence is secure around your entire garden, and that your gate has both a latch and a lock. Being a pedigree breed, French Bulldogs have a financial value so you should make sure that your backyard is suitably secure to prevent theft.

If you have a swimming pool or pond in your garden, you must ensure this is covered, as French Bulldogs are notoriously poor swimmers.

Next, if you live on a busy road, you should check that your French Bulldog puppy cannot squeeze past you at the front door. Being small, it’s easy for them to get past you unnoticed.

If you have a front garden and gate, it should be kept closed at all times, and you may wish to even place a sign on it to remind visitors to close it after them. Indoors, you can install a stair gate to keep your puppy behind, to stop him from having the opportunity to squeeze past you when the door is open.

Also, when preparing your home, you need to be prepared for the toilet accidents that your French Bulldog puppy will inevitably have. If you have carpets, you may wish to restrict access to these areas when your puppy is not under supervision.

Or if you wish for him to have free reign of the house, you might want to invest in a carpet washing machine to help clean up the mess from his accidents.

When you go shopping for your new French Bulldog puppy, not only will you need the obvious items such as dog bowls, a collar, and a leash, but it is worth considering what sort of bed your French Bulldog will sleep on and whether you want him to sleep in a crate.

While crate training your cute puppy can be challenging initially, when he looks at you with those puppy eyes, getting him used to being in a crate will help you in the long run.

If suitably crate trained, your French Bulldog puppy’s crate will become their safe haven and will make traveling with them, toilet training them, or leaving them at home much less stressful in the future.

Your French Bulldog puppy will also need a comfy bed, as he should not be encouraged to sleep on your bed, no matter how tempting it might be.

It does not need to be a large bed as French Bulldogs are only small. In fact, dogs generally prefer size-appropriate beds as it helps them to feel comforted to feel the sides of the bed surround them.

“French Bulldogs must never be left unattended around water, as they are poor swimmers and can easily drown due to their front-heavy structure.“
French Bulldog dog club of America

How to have a healthy French Bulldog puppy: Practical (and EASY) steps!

Starting out your French Bulldog puppy’s life in the most healthy way possible will reap rewards later on in life. If your French Bulldog puppy suffers from ill-health or poor nutrition early on, it can be detrimental to his growth and future health.

Investing in pet insurance for your puppy is wise, as this will help you budget for any unexpected surprises that might come your way.

You might think there is a difference between male vs female French Bulldogs, but generally, both can be very healthy if you look after them.

If you follow these practical (and easy) steps on how to have a healthy French Bulldog puppy, your French Bulldog puppy will stand the best chance to grow up into a wonderful, healthy dog.

Always buy a puppy from a reputable breeder: French Bulldogs are a breed that is overbred, and sometimes in horrendous conditions. The backyard and inexperienced breeders don’t care about the health of their dogs, and often they breed dogs with genetic conditions. French Bulldogs are brachycephalic (short-nosed) dogs, which means they are prone to having breathing difficulties due to genetically small nostrils and a long soft palate. Buying a Frenchie puppy from a reputable breeder, who cares for their dogs, will ensure that the parents of your puppy are healthy, with minimal genetic problems, which in turn will reduce the chances that your puppy will have these problems in the future.
Vaccinate your puppy: Vaccinations have undoubtedly saved the lives of millions of dogs around the world against devasting and deadly canine diseases. Vaccinating your puppy will ensure that he has immunity against these diseases. Puppy vaccines involve your puppy having injections two or three times, between the ages of eight and 16 weeks old. The most common diseases vaccinated against are parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and rabies. Your vet may also offer vaccinations against kennel cough, leptospirosis, and coronavirus depending on the risks in your area. These vaccines are then boosted every year.
Feed a good quality puppy food: Puppy food is absolutely essential for your puppy. Puppies require completely different nutrition from adult dogs as they are growing at a fast rate. Muscles require protein to develop, and bones require calcium and phosphorus to grow and become strong. Therefore, if you feed your puppy a poor-quality diet, which is not suitable for puppies, they may develop muscle and bone problems, such as a disease called rickets.
Let your puppy exercise efficiently but not intensely: Puppy joints are still developing and hard exercise can damage them earlier in life. Damaged puppy joints can lead to early-onset arthritis later in life which is a debilitating disease. On the other hand, lack of exercise is also not healthy for your puppy, as the muscles and bones need exercise to develop strength. A chubby French Bulldog puppy, whilst maybe cute, is unhealthy and will put a strain on the breathing, heart, and joints.

How to care for your French Bulldog puppy: Helpful tips!

So now you know how to have a healthy puppy, What important tips can you apply to ensure that you care for French Bulldog puppies as best you can?

Here are some helpful puppy care tips, so that your French Bulldog puppy can receive the best care possible:

Ask lots of questions: Before you commit to buying a specific French Bulldog puppy, ask the breeder loads of questions about their establishment, the parents, and the puppies themselves. Ask to see the paperwork of the parents, so that you can ensure they are pedigree dogs and don’t have any health problems. Also ask whether the puppies have been feeding well, what they have been eating, and whether they’ve had their first vaccinations and deworming. Ask to see both the parents as well as the puppies, and handle them as much as possible to learn what their personalities are like.
Find a vet you really like: Vets should become part of your family. Like how you always go back to the same hairdresser or doctor, because they know you, your dog should always go back to the same vet so that they know all your dog’s clinical history, and that your dog feels comfortable and confident around them. This way, you can be sure that your French Bulldog will receive continuity in his health care.
Choose a dry puppy food that is good quality: A dry dog food will help preserve French Bulldog puppies’ teeth. French Bulldogs have notoriously poor teeth, which are clustered and catch food, leading to dental disease. Dry dog food provides abrasion against the outsides of the teeth which helps clean them as he crunches through the kibble. Dry dog food, however, is notoriously full of filler ingredients of poor nutritional value, so be sure to choose a good quality one. This should have a meat protein at the top of the ingredients list, not a carbohydrate such as maize or rice. Also, the ‘guaranteed analysis’ on the back should have a protein content of over 25%. Finally, make sure it is specifically for puppies and not adults, as puppy diets will have more protein, calcium, and phosphorus in them to ensure healthy growth.
Get your French Bulldog puppy used to be handled: As you will read in our other care articles, French Bulldogs require lots of attention to keep their wrinkles, ears, eyes, nails, and coats clean and healthy. If your French Bulldog puppy isn’t used to being handled, he may wriggle and get stressed. Not only will this not be fun for him, but it will prevent you from providing him with proper health care. Therefore, at this early age, play with his paws and ears, and get him used to bathe. Make it a positive experience with lots of praise and treats.
Time his exercise: Getting the balance between too little and too much exercise can be tricky for a new puppy owner, and therefore a good rule to follow is don’t exercise your puppy for more than one minute for every week they are old. For example, if your French Bulldog puppy is 15 weeks old, he can go out for a 15-minute walk. This will protect their developing bones and joints. Remember French Bulldogs are not very good breathers due to their short noses, so if it is hot weather, take it easy to avoid overheating.

“Not Very Active; Frenchies are easygoing, not terribly athletic; brisk walks will keep them trim“
American Kennel Club

Useful products for your French Bulldog puppy!

Check out our detailed reviews for French Bulldogs to pick the best product for your French Bulldog puppies. We have invested time and effort to ease your buying decision!

Harnesses for French Bulldogs: Since you will be training your French Bulldog puppy to walk on a leash, they might pull to start off with. This can cause damage to their delicate little necks, so it is best to use a harness that doesn’t apply pressure to the neck.
Leashes for French Bulldogs: When training your Frenchie puppy, you will want to be able to have him walk close to you, but still occasionally give him plenty of space to play. Therefore, a retractable leash that can lock at a short distance, but also extends out at least 5m will be the best for him.
Training treats for French Bulldogs: Training treats should be very small, as you will need plenty of them for teaching your French Bulldog commands. This can take up a large number of his daily calories, and therefore small, low-calorie treats are the best.
Crates for French Bulldogs: If you are going to crate train your Frenchie, or simply have a crate for him to use as a den, then there are lots to choose from. It should be made from sturdy material and have good ventilation. It shouldn’t be too big, otherwise puppies sometimes toilet in it when left alone. Approximately 1m in length will be big enough for your French Bulldog. You can place blankets and his favorite toys in there to make it a cozy and happy space for him.
Beds for French Bulldogs: Frenchie’s bed should not be too big, as he will appreciate the snugness that the sides provide him. French Bulldogs can be prone to hip and back issues as they grow up, and therefore one made of quality memory foam will support his body and joints the best. Having a removable cover is a good idea so that you can easily put it through the wash.

“Take your time, know what you want and be open to the RIGHT puppy or mature French Bulldog. Don’t be stuck on a color. Research the breeder and make sure to ask the right questions. After all, you are preparing to love and take care of a new little friend, for many years to come. Timing is important.“
Allusion Dogs, French Bulldog breeder

Frequently Asked Questions – French Bulldogs Puppies Care

How do I know if a French Bulldog puppy is right for me?

There must be a reason why you’ve been drawn to Frenchies already. Maybe you have a friend who has one that you like, or maybe you think they’re cute. But regardless of why you want one, you must think about whether they are the right breed for you first. If you know of someone with a French Bulldog, try to spend some time with him before you commit to a French Bulldog. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a dog breed that is small, low-energy, loving, mischievous, and a bit of a clown, then a French Bulldog may be the right dog for you.

How do I find a reputable French Bulldog breeder?

Finding a reputable French Bulldog breeder is essential to make sure you buy a healthy Frenchie puppy. The best place to start is by looking at the list of breeders registered with your national Kennel Club. These breeders have to pass rigorous checklists to become registered and maintain certain standards to remain accredited. French Bulldog prices from reputable breeders are likely to be higher, so do not be fooled into buying a French Bulldog for a cheap deal.

Where do I start with training my French Bulldog puppy?

French Bulldogs are cheeky little characters, and therefore training them is important. Once your French Bulldog puppy has had his first vaccinations, it is best to enroll him in your local puppy school. This will ensure he receives weekly training and socialization.

How do I house-train my French Bulldog puppy?

The best way to house-train your French Bulldog puppy is with a crate. Your puppy’s natural instincts tell him not to soil where he is sleeping, therefore when you let him out of his crate, immediately take him outside. When he toilets, give him the command that you have chosen for this. It is important that the crate is not too big, otherwise, he will sleep at one end and the toilet at the other.

What parasite control does my puppy need?

All puppies need deworming every two weeks until they are 12 weeks old, then monthly until they are six months old. After that, they can be dewormed every three to six months. This is because puppies are prone to roundworms and tapeworms, causing them to have diarrhea and stunted growth. Depending on where you live, you might also need to give monthly tick and flea preventative treatment.

Will my current dog like my French Bulldog puppy?

Introducing your old dog to your new puppy can be a moment full of enthusiasm, or a moment that is far from that. When deciding on getting a French Bulldog male vs female, a dog of the opposite gender of your current dog is likely to get on better. Make the initial introductions outside, rather than in your current dog’s territory, and always ensure they are under supervision at first. Even though your Frenchie puppy is very cute, you must remember to make a point of petting, saying hello, and feeding your current dog first to reinforce his status (in his eyes).

Why is my French Bulldog puppy chewing everything?

Like human babies, puppies teethe. When their teeth are erupting through the gums, or when they are losing their baby teeth for their adult teeth, they will want to chew on everything for comfort. It is impossible to stop this instinct, so instead try to redirect the chewing onto something else, like a toy of theirs.

Conclusion

Having a new French Bulldog puppy addition to your home can be both highly entertaining and extremely rewarding, however, you must be ready to take on a new member of the family.

Frenchies are wonderful companions and so if you start off his life right with the correct puppy health care, then you are certain to have a happy, healthy puppy as he grows up.

So, are you ready now to care for your new French Bulldog puppy? Please share your thoughts…

Discover the Latest Guide for White French Bulldogs Enthusiasts

There are many different types of White French Bulldogs, which makes that first question hard to answer because each one has different things that make them interesting, good, or bad. To accurately respond, we’re going to:

Enumerate the different types.
Show you their differences.
And finally, we’ll tell you if you should pick one or the other.

This is important because some people may fall prey to bad breeders that want to get rid of faulty dogs…

It’s 2021, for Frenchie’s sake! Sigh…

It’s vital to know the differences because some of them have health issues that will determine their quality of life, and of course, yours. Let’s get started!

What are the different types of white French Bulldogs?

This might sound incredible, but there are five different types of white Frenchies.

Common white Frenchies: These French Bulldogs are the regular ones that don’t have any specific condition. Even though this is an accepted color in KC around the world, this is not a common one to see.
Albino French Bulldogs: Albinism is a condition that affects the pigmentation of the skin. It’s fairly easy to recognize them, as most of the time they have pink lips, ears (inside), and noses.
Frenchies with leucism: This is yet another skin condition. It causes a white coat similar to the one caused by Albinism, but this one doesn’t cause major complications. Actually, the genes that cause this type of coat color are associated with the Pied pattern.
Merle Frenchies: Merle dogs also have predominantly white coats. This condition causes health issues that can harm the quality of life of a dog that suffers it.
Pied French Bulldogs: The piebald pattern is an accepted variation of their coats that is predominantly white. Check everything about it here.

If you’re really counting, there’s the sixth version; extra light creams French Bulldogs. Those appear to be white sometimes, but since not all of them do, we didn’t count them.

“Dogs with white coats and dark eyes or noses can sometimes be confused as an albino, but unless they have pink noses and pink skin around their eyes, they are not albino, just white-coated”
Pet MD

Which Type of white French Bulldogs is safe to get?

Common white Frenchies, Leucistic, and Pied Frenchies. They are completely safe to get because none of them have health issues related to their white coats. However, Albino and Merle dogs can have a ton of issues that are directly related to their color.

Albino and Merle dogs can both suffer from blindness, and deafness and are highly susceptible to skin cancer. They need a lot of care to avoid those issues since even a little bit of direct sunlight can harm them.

Common misconceptions.

Some people believe that whites shouldn’t be a part of the breed’s standard. However, their insecurities are directly affected by the different types of White Frenchies. Since there are five types, it’s common to be afraid of them being sick, like Albino and Merle dogs. However, this doesn’t apply to all of them!

How to distinguish the different types of White Frenchies?

There are different ways of knowing which type of Frenchie you’re seeing. Here’s what to do to recognize each type:

Albino type: Albinism causes depigmentation in most cells of the body. This includes their eyes, lips, ears, and paws. It’s easy to recognize them because most of them have red eyes due to the loss of pigments.
Leucism: This type of dog is very similar to Albino dogs. As a general rule, they don’t have red eyes, which is only a physical attribute seen in Albino dogs. However, some Albino dogs may not have red eyes! That’s why the only 100% sure way of determining if a dog has Leucism or Albinism is through lab tests.
Merle dogs: Merle dogs can have different patterns in their coats, including Pied dogs. They are predominantly white, but most have mottled patches. In the case of Frenchies, it’s hard to determine if one of them is Merle without tests, especially if it’s a Pied Frenchie. If that’s not the case, the dog may present regular colors along with pink or white eyes, pink lips, paws, and skin.
Pied and White Frenchies: They are easy to recognize because they don’t have any of the different qualities of the others. They have dark-colored eyes. Also, their skin is not pink, but darker instead.

Conclusion

White French Bulldogs can be amazing pets! Even though it’s a concern for most uneducated soon-to-be owners, this is nothing to worry about. Now you’re prepared to know which type of white dog you’re getting. Another often-forgotten tip to consider is to ask for all the information about the dog you’re about to get. This can save you a lot of time whenever you suspect the dog you’re getting is healthy.

A good breeder should give you health records of French bulldog puppies and more lab tests to prove their pup’s health. If they refuse, the dog probably has issues. This applies to all breeds!

As you now know, they’re fairly safe to get. Still, you must know how to take care of them, because any dog can develop issues if he’s not well protected by its owners.

So, are you ready to get a white French Bulldog?

Your Ultimate Guide to Piebald French Bulldogs: Get Informed Here

You’re seriously mesmerized by Piebald French Bulldogs if you’re like us. They are an amazing piece of natural art. They are undeniably beautiful, and one of the rarest colors that’s not a “fad color” in French Bullies. This coat color is recognized by all of the KC around the world, yet it’s a difficult color to find.

Here you’ll find all the information about the Pied French Bulldog; the right description (for shows and AKC), how they are bred, and more interesting facts about this variation. Let’s get right into it!

So, what Are Piebald French Bulldogs?

Piebald French Bulldogs have a dominantly white coat, with markings of different sizes of Brindle and Fawn colors throughout their coats. They are recognized by the AKC, along with Fawn, Cream, and Brindle, all of them in different shades. Pied or Piebald is not a color, it’s a pattern of colors that mix. As you will notice below, they’re easy to recognize among different colors.

A common confusion among people is that Pied Frenchies are black and white, but they’re not. Check out their exact descriptions below:

Pied or Brindle Pied: Pied Frenchies are those with a mostly white coat with markings of Brindle around their coat. They are the most common version of the Pied Frenchie, so they’re simply called Pied, instead of Brindle Pied. The colors of the Brindle markings can vary within the limits of the breed’s standard. They can be black with fawn or cream. For show standards, they must be predominantly white, the Brindle markings should be delineated, and ticking is acceptable, yet not desired. Also, Pied Frenchies of great quality show delineated brindle markings that are beautifully distributed and even symmetrical. This is hard to achieve, and because of that, it’s hard to see show-quality pied Frenchies.
Fawn Pied: The only difference between this type and the Pied Frenchie, is that the markings are fawn; a much lighter brownish coloration. There is a wide definition of fawn, so the shades of this color vary a lot. They can be dark fawn, light fawn, or anything in between. The same show standards apply. Since Brindle is the dominant color in French Bulldogs, it’s rather hard to see fawn-pied French Bulldogs, even more so in competitions.

Another key factor considered in shows for both versions of the Pied Frenchie is that their lips, eyelashes, and other aspects of their face should be black, instead of having another color. Most of them have a “mask”.

How are Piebald French Bulldogs bred?

Both variations of the Pied Frenchie are beautiful to the eye. However, since getting high-quality Pied French Bulldogs is rather hard, they’re not as usual in competitions. Normally, it’s easier to spot them as pets, and the ones you’ll see will – probably – have to tick (spots), washed colors instead of solid ones, and blurred colors.

To breed a Pied French Bully, at least one of the doggy parents must either be Pied or have the gene. This is passed down to their litter, and there are different variations in the breeding process that breeders must take into account:

Two Pied parents: They will produce a 100% Pied litter.

One Pied parent and one with other accepted color: The Pied coloring is a recessive gene, so this litter will not have Pied puppies. All French bulldog puppies will have the color of the other parent, whatever it is. Still, the puppies will have the Pied gene in them.

One Pied parent and one with another color, but with the pied gene: This match will have 50% of pied puppies. The rest will have the color of the other parent, plus the Pied gene.

Two parents with the pied gene: At least one of the puppies, or 25% of them, will be Pied, and at least 50% of the puppies will carry the Pied gene.

As you can see, there’s a lot of thought into this process. Even more, the production of show-quality Pied Frenchies is much harder when compared, because determining the standard for shows is nearly impossible. How can you tell if a puppy will have perfectly defined markings!? Show-quality Pied French Bulldogs and even champions are used in this process to obtain perfect Pied puppies, which augments considerably the price of the litter. Because of this, one pet-quality French Bulldog puppy can cost up to $2000 or $2500, a show-quality anything from $5000 to $10.000, and a Pied French Bulldog puppy up to an incredible $15.0000 or more!

Common misconceptions about Piebald French Bulldogs

Some people believe Pied Frenchies are somewhat different from other versions of the breed, but they’re not! They are as any Frenchie would be, with the same personality outlines and physical description. Most people believe they are not an accepted version of the breed, like the Blue or Grey Frenchie, yet they are; it’s just weird to see them.

If you see any difference in personality or physical difference, maybe you’re looking at a mix (which is much easier to breed!). Another common misconception that is seemingly carved into people’s minds is that the Pied Frenchie is a Black and White French Bulldog. If you see one, we can assure you that it’s another thing, not a Frenchie. As we said, it’s much easier to create black-and-white Frenchies than Pied Frenchies, and what you’re seeing is probably that.

Conclusion

Now that you know how a Pied Frenchie looks, you’ll know how to tell one apart from a Boston Terrier. If not, well, Boston Terriers are black and white instead of Pied or Fawn Pied! If you’re interested in getting a Pied Frenchie, you can check out our guide on the best breeders around the USA, so you can ask around if they breed this type of Frenchie. After all, they are amazing pets, loving companions, and beautiful wing dogs.

Teacup French Bulldog – The Basics

One day you were scrolling down on Instagram or Pinterest and saw a post about Mini Teacup French Bulldogs. You immediately fell in two different ways:

First; you fell in love with a tiny ball of fur that was unbelievably cute and squishy. Secondly; you fell into one of the biggest – and latest – scams of mean, evil, and greedy breeders – a.k.a “greeders”. Sadly…

This happened to many of us…

You probably came to this website looking for more information about these so-called forever-French Bulldog puppies. You came to the right place! Here, you’ll find all the hidden truths behind the Mini French Bulldog, why they are a trend, and more about this inhumane practice that surpasses the level of absurdity humans can reach for money. As you read these words, you will notice how much we despise people who do this to such a beautiful and innocent breed as the Frenchies. For us, they are awesome as they are!

Warning: This post is directed to people who want real unbiased information about the Mini Frenchie and other similar Mini variations out there. The truth is not always pretty, but we must defend it regardless.

Mini French Bulldogs – A nefarious trend. The Worst Version Of Frenchies

Mini Teacup French Bulldogs is the name that people gave to a severely modified version – if you can call it that – of this breed. They are the result of heavy breeding processes that involve different methods to obtain a smaller dog that appears to be a puppy. This trend has been rising in popularity, as more and more people start supporting the practice, probably without knowing what’s behind it. Stars showing their “lovely” tiny dogs to their following and the world and more have encouraged certain unscrupulous breeders to start using the minis to attract more clients.

Also, since the trend is peaking, the prices paid for these extra small Frenchies is extra large. This is the seemingly never-ending cycle that both good breeders, Frenchie lovers, and Kennel Clubs have been trying to stop for years now, without actually achieving it. Hopefully, when you finish reading this post you’ll be one of the good guys.

“Epilepsy remains the most common and perplexing of chronic neurological pet diseases despite decades of research.”
AVMA – American Veterinary Medical Association

How are Teacup French Bulldogs created?

Mini Teacup French Bulldogs can be created using three different methods to reduce the size of the breed.

Chihuahua x French Bulldog mixes: Using breeding, dog designers pair a Chihuahua (the smallest of all breeds) and a common Frenchie to produce one litter. A different couple of Chihuahua x Frenchies is used to produce another litter. The resulting dogs are paired together – sometimes they also use inbreeding – to create another litter of smaller dogs. The first two litters were already extra small. After that, they simply repeat the process, adding more Chihuahua (to maintain the size) or Frenchie (to maintain the appearance) into future litters, until finally, the Mini Frenchie is obtained.

Creating litters with French Bulldogs with dwarfism: They use the same process, but instead of a Chihuahua, they use a Frenchie with dwarfism. Usually, they use inbreeding too since it’s hard to find Frenchies with that condition.

Using abnormally small dogs (without dwarfism): When dogs are undersized, this is considered a defect, so the dog is not used to produce new litter. Dog designers do exactly the opposite. They use runts of litter to mate with each other. They usually come with other congenital issues that will affect the resulting dog. That means Mini dogs will be getting the issues for being small, and other issues that are passed down genetically. Issues like narrow nostrils and poorly developed structures inside their bodies!

These are just three of the truths behind the practice!

The Ugly Truth Behind Mini French Bulldogs

Many things are wrong with this practice. The fact that dog designers exploit dogs to make money is absurd. Most of the time, they do it under poor conditions, because obviously, they’re not the best breeders! Also, this practice can harm the dogs used in it. Especially in the case of Chihuahua x Frenchie Mixes!

You see when they use this method, the dam is usually the Chihuahua. Now, as we mentioned, they are the smallest breed registered in the world! They reach a maximum weight of 8 pounds (and that’s a fat one). Big-boned Frenchies average 28 pounds – more than three times the weight of Chihuahuas! Do the math; there’s no way that a French Bulldog puppy comes out without trouble. Usually, a C-section is required. Sometimes Chihuahua dams can’t take the procedure. It’s sad and despicable to think about dogs as disposable objects, which is exactly what these people do.

And that’s just one method.

Frenchies with dwarfism – just like other breeds – have a plethora of health issues that will inevitably affect them throughout their lives. Hypoglycemia, digestive troubles, liver shunts, heart problems, respiratory problems, cervical issues, mobility issues, and even epilepsy are among the major concerns. All of them will add up to an amazing -possibly monthly- vet bill, and in a lot of depression from watching the poor creature suffer.

Another thing that no one mentions is the fact that they are way too fragile. French Bulldogs can be fragile too, as other dogs in the non-sporting category. However, if they are three times smaller, then the fragility goes up. That’s what happens when you live with a pup that can’t even jump to get into their beds. If you thought that Mini dogs were a good pet for kids, think again. If you live with other pets or bigger dogs, they are also a threat.

What are Mini Teacup Frenchies?

Mini Teacup French Bulldogs are, sadly, a being that was not meant to exist. They might look convenient if you live in an apartment or if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on food, especially if you don’t have a lot of time to walk a regular dog. Still, the ton of issues they come with eliminate all possibilities of having a healthy dog. Not only they not be healthy, but they will also have a life with not a single moment of feeling comfortable inside their own body.

That’s sad. Finally, add that and the tall price tag they come with and you’ll be getting the worst deal ever made.

How to stop the rising number of Mini Frenchies out there?

If you’re like us, and you want to help to get this mess together, then this post had the right effect on you. The good news is that anyone can help to eliminate this practice from the world, but we need to start. If you know a breeder who is applying this practice, here’s exactly what to do. Since this practice is surprisingly not illegal, there are a few actions that will affect the “breeders” business.

First of all, you must not contact any law enforcement institution unless you have proof of animal cruelty, which this practice is not. But, you can contact the AKC – or other variations according to the country – that the breeder is affiliated with. They can make him pay a fine and ban him from the club for a lot of time, while also blacklisting his breeder activities.

If you perceive animal cruelty but don’t have proof, yet you know they are breeding low-standard dogs, you can contact local shelters and rescues. They have different resources that streamline the actions applied after discovering these cases.

If you have proof of illegal breeding and other versions of animal cruelty (abused dogs, injured dogs, mistreating breeders, etc.), you can contact the police or the Humane Society. They will deal with the breeder as needed.

You can also post in your social media about the case, or even contact websites or social media pages with a larger following to spread the information about mean breeders. If you can’t contact any of them in your locality, you can always check with any veterinarian around you; both of them can have access to the right contacts to deal with this kind of issue.

Conclusion

Let other people know! Most of the time we understand why people are a victim of this marketing gimmick. Mini dogs are cut and seem to be convenient. But if we don’t educate ourselves on the standards of the breeds we love, we can reach a no-return point where there are no healthy dogs in the market anymore. If you like a dog, get the actual dog that complies with their standards and is, well, healthy and comes from a good breeder. Share this post to collaborate with other people’s future pet investment. We hope one day this practice is punished by laws that protect our beloved dogs. That’s the last step to eradicate it and fully defend good breeding methods.

Finally, if you get a good pet-quality French Bulldog, you probably will spend less money. To later spend the rest of what you would spend in a mini version of toys and goodies for your healthy boy!

So, do you still want a Teacup French Bulldog?

French Bulldogs’ Buying: PROS & CONS

This is probably your first thought about getting a French Bulldog. It’s the most excellent option for getting a quality French Bulldog if you take all the necessary steps. Still, this depends highly on the access you have (wherever you may live) to select breeders. If there are no well-reputed and certified breeders around you, this might not be the option for you. The good thing is that French Bulldogs are loved by everyone, so there are breeders everywhere! You need to consider the French Bulldog’s cost and do some research before getting one.

“Purebred dogs can be obtained from reputable breeders”
AVMA – American Veterinary Medical Association

Buying Pros for French Bulldogs:

Buying is the best choice for new owners. Follow our guide on how to pick a French Bulldog puppy!
You’ll have access to a French Bulldog puppy that’s new to the world. This is an advantage if you want him to adapt to training.
You’ll have access to all the legal and vital information about the French Bulldog puppy you’re getting.
This is also the best option if you’re interested in getting your own future champion for contests!

Buying Cons for French Bulldogs:

You need to have access to a well-reputed breeder, which is harder in some areas. This is a problem if you can’t go somewhere else to buy a French Bulldog!
It’s also the most expensive of all the options. The prices of French Bulldog puppies vary a lot!

Buying a French Bulldog is not easy, and we at FrenchBulldogsClub.org know this by experience. Among the first things, you need to know is how much a French Bulldog puppy costs near you and where to find them.

French Bulldogs for Sale: Quality and the right price

A French Bulldog’s quality divides his classification (and French Bulldog Costs) in two: he can be a “Pet” or “Champion” dog.

Pet French Bulldogs for sale: They are those dogs that, even though they are 100% true French Bulldogs, with beautiful aesthetics and standard-like features, have major flaws. Those flaws can be anything, from markings and odd coat colors to an undesired ear type and health issues. Even though they are not acceptable to be show dogs, they can become a beloved part of your family without any trouble. Pet French Bulldogs can also be mixed French Bulldogs.
Champion or Show French Bulldogs for sale: They are the breed’s peak standard according to official Kennel Clubs. These are dogs that come from a line of champions and have no flaws in any aspect of their being. Their bloodline, coat, eyes, ears, tail, and color are the perfect representation of the standard of the breed, and they can be selected to preserve these standards with official breeding programs.

Of course, determining which type of French Bulldog you’re getting takes a lot of experience with the breed. Asking for all the information a breeder can give you to support their bloodline and health is key as well. The price of these types of French Bulldogs for sale can vary a lot.

French Bulldog Puppy Market Season

Just as with any market, the puppy market has seasons for breeding. This has a lot to do with common celebrations, like Christmas, but it might vary from zone to zone. It’s the basic concept of demand and supply applied to puppies. If there are any puppies available, the price goes down. If not, the price goes up. However, this applies mostly to Pet French Bulldogs, and Champion quality French Bulldogs retain their price most of the time.

How to find a reputable French Bulldog breeder!

As we said, finding a reputable French Bulldog breeder is not an easy task. Nonetheless, there are some places you can always check to trace them:

Dog Shows are a great place to start your search for a reputable breeder. Ask around for the best local French Bulldog breeder and this will get you somewhere eventually.
Check if there’s a local Kennel Club. An official branch of the AKC can hook you up with some information about where to look for a reputable French Bulldog breeder. This is one of the best ways of getting a champion-level French Bulldog.
Go to the most reputed vet in town! Since a reputed French Bulldog breeder should take amazing care of the dogs, the most reputed vets should be a common visit for them. You can contact them through the vet and schedule a meeting or simply ask for a contact number.
Go to the most reputed pet store in town! Pet stores are often avoided since they are seen as some sort of faulty pet laundering, where pet-level French Bulldogs are turned into champions by a simple swap of names. This is only a recommended option for those looking for pet French Bulldogs. You must also be aware that you might run into some heavy puppy mill operation. If this is the case, contact the authorities on the matter immediately.

Finding the best breeder this way requires a lot of patience and effort from you. That’s why most owners check out online sources first.

Where to find reputable French Bulldog breeders online?

Getting a French Bulldog online is another good option you must consider. However, we certainly do not recommend this method for owners new to the breed. Instead, if you have had French Bulldogs in the past or if you have studied the breed heavily, you have better odds to find a good French Bulldog.

The same filters for a visit to the breeder apply. You have to stick to our tips to pick a French Bulldog puppy to get it right, with the slight difference that the deal is online:

He’ll ask a lot of questions because he wants to be sure you’ll take good care of the puppy.
He wouldn’t hide anything like where or how he keeps his puppies and much more. Ask for credentials, and pedigree certificates and to meet the parents of your future puppy. Other certificates for vaccinations, lab tests, and more are also important. The more you know about the French Bulldog’s origin, the better.
You must ask to interact with the puppies. This is the only way you can assess their physical attributes. Knowing how French Bulldogs are, how to tell if a French Bulldog is healthy, and much more is vital in this step.
Does the contract include a return policy if the French Bulldog develops an abnormality? Sign it immediately! This is rather optional since most people keep their puppies even knowing they’re not normal. Keep it in mind if you can’t afford further treatments, though.

It’s important to ask as many questions as you can and to assess the response of the breeder. This is much easier to do if you meet him in person. Check out our recommendations on the best websites to buy, adopt, or rescue French Bulldogs all over the world!

Red flags of bad French Bulldog breeders.

There are some signs that you must pay attention to determine if the breeder is as good as he states.

He doesn’t want you to meet the French Bulldogs or the parents.
He doesn’t want to give you access to the information about the French Bulldog puppies.
The French Bulldogs don’t have a pedigree or certificate whatsoever.
If the breeder has more than three litters at the time (puppy mill red flag!). There’s the chance that a good French Bulldog breeder has more than three litters, but you’ll need to check out their living conditions and human contact (good place and maybe more than one assistant to keep French Bulldog puppies socialized).
If the puppies are not together with their mothers and they are newborns or less than 4 months old.
He’s reluctant to get the French Bulldogs tested in a lab for a health clearance or genetic screening (even if you conduct the tests)

If more than one of those signs appears, run away from that breeder, as she/he is unethical!

Puppies Age

Puppies are usually sold once they hit the eight-week mark. After that, they are ready to be separated from the dam. Before that, separating them can create an unbalanced dog. After those eight weeks, they enter the market to be sold at a new-puppy price. After twelve weeks – and sometimes even before that, their price goes down. That’s a great time to take advantage of “old-puppy” offers.

“Responsible, proper breeding entails much more than simply putting two dogs together”
paws.org

What you must know BEFORE buying: Dogs are mistreated everywhere.

We don’t recommend you to buy directly from these pages and receive your French Bulldog at home. Instead, get all the seemingly well-reputed breeder contacts there are to make a proper visit to your soon-to-be hairy soul mate.
We, at FrenchBulldogsClub.org, do not support inhumane practices towards dogs. We love dogs, and we strongly discourage you from supporting these practices by buying a French Bulldog (or any dog) from anybody who claims to be a breeder!
You need to be careful to avoid buying a French Bulldog blindly without actually getting to know how it was treated before you bought it!
If you know about inhumane practices, contact your local authorities on the matter. Instead, we support rescues and shelters that use all their love to help dogs. After they finally abandon the puppy mill hell, they will need your help!

Frequently Asked Questions – French Bulldog For Sale

Is it hard to buy a French Bulldog?

Sort of. You really need to pay attention to our specific steps and tips if you’re looking for your next 100% healthy champion. It’s not difficult to actually buy the French Bulldog, what is difficult is to find a responsible breeder that cares for French Bulldogs as much as you!

Is it hard to rescue or adopt a French Bulldog?

It highly depends on your expectations. If you’re expecting to find a French Bulldog that’s perfect, say, a future champion, then yes it is. If you’re expecting to find a (hurt) creature to completely commit to loving it and caring about it, then no. In the latter, it can be the easiest choice you can make!

Why are French Bulldogs for sale so expensive?

Although it highly depends on where you are, buying a French Bulldog might not be a budget decision. And the reason is quite simple; they are incredibly cute. Believe it or not, that cuteness comes with a price. Also, they are a medium-high maintenance breed, and that starts right from their birth. After that, it’s simple math; the cost of having a French Bulldog-mom, a French Bulldog-stud, and of keeping the dogs in top-notch conditions, vet checks, food, and more as they get ready to be with you. Totally worth it!

French Bulldogs for Rescue: Essential Information and Tips

Are you looking for French Bulldogs for Rescue? You don’t know how much it costs to rescue a French Bulldog? Do you want a pet, but also to help save a life? Do you, as a dog-lover, feel like you’re not doing enough to help dogs in distress?

If your answer is yes to any of these questions, keep on reading…and you’ll find all the answers!

Introduction: French Bulldogs For Rescue

French Bulldogs for Rescue is great for people who deeply love dogs and will continue to love them through dark and bright. Most pets at dog rescues have suffered a lot. Because of that, you need to be more patient, loving, and caring in order to provide a good home. Your relationship with dogs (especially with French Bulldogs) can’t be new if you want to rescue one; you’ll need some sort of advanced experience with dogs!

This is perfect for getting an older French Bulldog, that isn’t as energetic as playful French Bulldog puppies. Hopefully, they are also well-behaved. You can also get a lot of useful information about the French Bulldog you want!

Rescuing Pros for French Bulldogs:

You will help a lucky French Bulldog (and probably French Bulldog-mix) forget about its past with bad owners, living in the streets, or something worse.
This can be a very enlightening experience.
You will get tons of support from the shelter or French Bulldog Rescue (this depends on the shelter, but it is like this most of the time).
Most of the time it’s free (no French Bulldogs Costs associated) or very cheap!

Rescuing Cons for French Bulldogs:

Sometimes rescued French Bulldogs have too many problems (health issues, injuries, or behavioral).
It’s not recommended for people new to dogs or without enough experience. We can help you know a little bit more here!

“Behavior problems were not on the top of the list of reasons for relinquishment…”
AVMA – American Veterinary Medical Association

Caring is not enough!

French Bulldogs and other dogs in distress need more than awareness and a few “ow, poor things” from people; they need direct collaboration, love, and maybe a little bit of money! If you love French Bulldogs, dogs, or any animal that’s in distress, this is the way you can prove it.

Adopting from Frenchie Rescues and ONGs

There are many ways in which you can rescue a French Bulldog (or any dog) wherever you may be in the world. Truth be told, rescuing is one of the easiest ways of getting a dog! Rescuing a French Bulldog can be done through adoption and collaboration with certain organizations created with the sole purpose of rescuing French Bulldogs. We strongly recommend these organizations from around the world, since they’re doing an amazing job. Still, there are many French Bulldogs and other dogs in distress at this very moment!

Rescuing French Bulldogs can be free!

By buying a French Bulldog (or attempting to do so), you’re not just making a transaction. Instead, you’re changing the future of the French Bulldog’s life! If you buy a French Bulldog from a breeder, make sure to check the conditions in which the French Bulldog lives before buying it. We’ve said this before. Not only because you can avoid getting a faulty French Bulldog, but because you can instead save him/her and other French Bulldogs from the hands of bad breeders and puppy mills.

Note: A good breeder will always give you all the information, visitation rights, and more while you’re buying a French Bulldog. If he doesn’t, you can automatically think he’s up to something!

In these cases, you need to contact the authorities on the matter or some of the aforementioned organizations that can help you find out more. You can end up disarticulating a puppy mill!

Donate, donate, and donate to French Bulldog rescues!

These same organizations need more help to save our beloved French Bulldogs. French Bulldogs are loved by everyone, yes, but there are some who simply don’t care about them and just see them as a money-making industry. You can help by donating! In most cases, whatever amount you can donate will be much appreciated, and will help many French Bulldogs have a different life and the treatment they deserve.

Volunteering at Frenchies rescues

If you really love dogs, then you can also become a volunteer. There are many volunteer-based organizations that put their efforts together to help French Bulldogs have a better life. Most of the time this is easy and free; you only need some free time.

Save any dog (not just French Bulldogs) from the streets!

Finding a French Bulldog on the streets is rare, still, it can happen. If you’re interested in saving all kinds of dogs, help them by retrieving them off the streets. This is a great way of helping dogs if you have extra space and budget for re-homing them. You can do it by adopting from any of the mentioned organizations, or if you have a lot of experience with dogs (and especially approaching skills to avoid accidents), you can do it on your own.

Listed prices are estimated per country for rescuing a pet and maintenance expenses. The cost of rescuing a dog from the streets depends on the care you give him or what he needs!

Are you ready to help? We hope you do. Cheers!

French Bulldogs for Adoption: Comprehensive Guide and Tips

Do you want French Bulldogs for Adoption but you don’t know where to start? Are you doing price research for adopting a French Bulldog?

Skip all the work and go straight to what you’re looking for with our help.

Looking for French Bulldogs for Adoption Instead of Buying It?

You are looking for French Bulldogs for Adoption because buying French Bulldogs Puppies is not an option or do you just want to make good action? Then Adopting a pet might work for you. It will also work great if you’re interested in getting a French Bulldog mix! Still, adopting a French Bulldog is not a recommended option for people who are new to dogs. Especially because they wouldn’t know if the French Bulldog is healthy or not. The problem with this is that sometimes French Bulldogs look healthy, but there’s something wrong with their genetics. Ask for genetic testing to know if there is any chance of disease! This information is vital, but most of the time it’s not available. Only by finding the right shelter -one that cares about dogs -, you’ll find the right option for you. Or you can just love French Bulldogs the way they are – as we do – because faulty French Bulldogs also deserve a home!

“Owners who sought advice about the pet from family or friends or from a veterinarian following adoption were more likely to retain the pet than those who sought no advice”
AVMA – American Veterinary Medical Association

Pros for adopting a Frenchie:

Adopted and bought French Bulldogs will love you the same!
They are also equally beautiful!
This option is less expensive than buying a French Bulldog. Sometimes it’s even free!
This works as a charity and you will contribute by saving a French Bulldog!

Cons For Adopting A Frenchie:

It’s harder to find a perfect French Bulldog using this method. If you want a perfect French Bulldog, you need to go full price!
It’s a little bit harder to find French Bulldog puppies through adoption.

There are French Bulldogs and other dogs that need your help everywhere. Are you ready to help them?

Before you adopt you need to know that almost all the adoption organizations represent the effort in the fight for protecting French Bulldogs. And they are doing an excellent job. In most cases after completing the adoption process, they will provide you with a dog that:

Has been neutered/spayed.
Vet examined.
Dewormed.
Vaccinated.
And sometimes even microchipped!

That’s why the French Bulldog cost of any of these organizations is the right price. We can say it is not enough, so we’d actually love to encourage you to donate any time you can, so these people can keep doing a great job. And remember; adoption is always the right option. Cheers!

Still, our duty as a community is to offer you verified information about this “rare” color in our favorite breed, and the dangers behind it. Many doubts have arisen online about this variation on Frenchie:

Are they good or bad?
Is this a natural color?
Are they all sick?

Here you’ll find everything you need to know about Lilac French Bulldogs! After reading this article, you’ll know for sure if you should get one or not. Let’s find out!

Lilac French Bulldogs: What’s all the fuss about them?

Lilac French Bulldogs are the ones that have a blueish or lilac hue, pretty similar to the Blue French Bulldog we’ve talked about. They can have all the different patterns or markings of a regular Frenchie, the only difference is the slightly Lilac coloration you can perceive with specific lighting.

They are indeed cute, yet not accepted by any Kennel Club or respectable breeder’s community. Most of the breeders that specialize in this type of Frenchie are not part of those communities either and are perceived as unethical. This is mostly because this is not a natural color in a French Bulldog. Instead, it’s a fad color, which couldn’t appear by mistake.

What causes this Lilac coat?

The Lilac coat is produced when certain genes interact in a Frenchie’s DNA. Two main genes play a role in this coat; D-genes and B-genes, both associated with Blue and Chocolate French Bulldogs. They are both dilution genes in charge of watering down colors present in a Frenchie’s coat by interacting with other dominant genes. They are also recessive, so you would need two pairs of genes in each Loci to get a Lilac Frenchie, and no other dominant genes are present.

To produce that coloring, Blue and Chocolate Frenchies are mixed to obtain Lilac puppies.

Lilac French Bulldogs: What’s wrong with them?

One of the main reasons people should avoid getting one of these dogs is that they have issues similar to the ones present in Blue Frenchies. Since both dilution genes are replicated, the resulting French bulldog puppies may have:

Blue or Yellow eyes: This eye color in Frenchies is unnatural and can cause blindness and cataracts at a young age.
Skin issues: Issues like Color Dilution and Alopecia are also present. It’s important to note that this causes further complications related to inflammation and scarred skin in French Bulldogs, not to mention the increased proneness to diseases and allergies.

Ultimately, this coat color is often related to a lower quality of life in French Bulldogs, and a rise in vet expenses as the dog grows older. Some of them die at an early age from issues related to these conditions, which can be a source of immense pain for unaware owners.

Additionally to that, they’re not an accepted variation that should be replicated.

Conclusion

Even though there’s a crowd of defenders comprised of breeders and owners that claim Lilac French Bulldogs can be healthy, there’s too much risk behind them. Some believe that their issues can be ruled out genetically so only healthy ones are replicated. However, it’s clear to us that the main risks are still there, and that it’s a gamble we’re not willing to take. The main motivation behind this practice is money!

Also, they’re not an accepted variation of the breed, so replicating it will harm the perception of French Bulldogs as uneducated people may have. If you’re interested in French Bulldogs, you should get one that is within the standard. Make sure to educate yourself on that matter before trying to get one.

So, do you still want a Lilac Frenchie?
