Tips For Dealing With Professional French Bulldog Breeders

By Amanda Murphy


Adding a new dog to the family is certainly exciting, especially when the choice is an adorable Frenchie. However, they differ from other breeds in that they have special requirements and are often used in breeding scams. This makes it even more important for potential pet parents in Ohio to have a keen understanding of the breed before entering the process, and to use only certified professional French Bulldog breeders to get their puppy.

People who are interested in a Frenchie need to know that obtaining and maintaining these pups is a lifetime financial obligation. A purebred dog of this type is sold for two to three thousand dollars, which is then followed by keeping up with their health maintenance and unique dietary support, both of which can add up over time. Any responsible and respectable breeder will insist on making sure that all buyers are completely aware that though the dogs are great for showing and make affectionate companions, they are going to be a major expense over the years.

When making any type of purchase, it is natural for a person to seek out the best price, but in this situation, buying a puppy for less than $1500 can be a high risk. Anyone offering pups at discount prices is most likely either importing them from overseas, or selling dogs that are either not pure, or of poor quality. They cost the breeder quite a bit because their anatomy and stature make them hard to breed and typically require a C-section delivery, which makes their numbers very limited.

If the seller advertises with phrases like "mini", "exotic", or "rare", a buyer should be wary of a possible scam. The breed has no miniature version and unusually colored coats and eyes are the results of genetic defects. Those dogs will not be accepted in show circles, though they are still interesting and beautiful.

Breeding standards are set by organizations in charge of maintaining the breed. Risks are minimized when utilizing one of the approved facilities. Those who make their lists will have solid reputations for understanding what the dogs need and how quality parental lineage results in the best litters.

If one has the opportunity, it could be very beneficial to make a personal visit to the facility to see the animal's habitat. It allows one to view how the breeding dogs are treated, puppy socialization, and how clean the surroundings are. When this is not possible, the purchaser should randomly request photos of their specific pup, alone and with the mom and litter mates. Do not accept stock images.

Buyers have the right to request certain documents from the facility. This might include the certification qualifying the breeder, and the papers verifying the lineage of the pup being purchased. They should also get its registration with the UK, AKC, or UKC, which shows that it is a purebred. It might even hold dual registrations.

Although the breeder can get certification from a vet that a puppy has no hereditary health conditions, it is not possible to definitively guarantee it will never develop any problems. A buyer can benefit from doing a bit of research on their provider and the breed.
