Things to Consider Before Welcoming a New Puppy
We understand how difficult it can be to find the right puppy, but please don't become frustrated or impatient when searching for one. Take your time and do your research about the breed! The best advice would be to talk to breeders and introduce yourself. This is something that we highly value and want to see that you have done your research prior to inquiring, as this shows us your passion for these little ones. Buying a puppy is somewhat akin to adopting a child, and it can be an emotional roller coaster ride, especially if you fall into the wrong hands. It is important that you find a reputable, dedicated, and knowledgeable breeder.

Some things to consider when researching your new puppy in relation to health testing:
Health testing is not enforceable by any of the registries. However, French Bulldog clubs are encouraging breeders to consider complete health testing as a recommendation, from skeletal to DNA, to have a whole picture. It is up to the individual to decide to what extent they check their dogs prior to breeding.
- Have both parents had their hips and spines x-rayed and graded (and passed, with certificates)?
- Are the pups HC clear by parentage or DNA? (HC is hereditary cataract)
- Has the breeder taken the option of completing a preliminary spine X-ray at 8 weeks to ensure no glaring abnormalities? (Please note that this is not done under general anaesthetic and takes 5-10 seconds)
- Are pedigree papers included for free? (There should be no additional charge.)
- Have both parents been assessed via a clear DNA profile?

We know this is a lot to take in, but it's worth your time to ensure a lifetime of happiness instead of a lifetime of problems.
