Looking for a Good French Bulldog Breeder?
I have noticed that many of our visitors find FrenchieTink through search engines by typing in keywords such as “french bulldog breeder in California“, “frenchies for sale in Ohio“, “riverside french bulldog puppies“, etc.
We are not breeders nor do we plan to become breeders anytime soon.
For our visitors looking for a quality pure-bred Frenchie from a reputable breeder, here’s a tip to help you out.
Go to www.frenchieinfo.com and enter the site.
You’ll be taken to a search engine that helps you find registered AKC french bulldogs and their pedigrees.
Therefore, if you already know of an up-coming litter and know who the parent’s are, you can search that frenchie and see the parent’s pedigree to see how many champions are in their blood.
However if you are just looking for a place to start, follow these steps to finding the best french bulldog breeders in the country.
When searching in this engine: http://frenchieinfo.com/pp_search.htm
Keep the “number of generations” at “5″. This will show you the names of all the frenchies in the pedigree going 5 generations back.
Change the “Field to Search” to “pre-title”. This is the part given by the AKC and the breeders.
For “search string” enter “ch” this will filter out the results to only show french bulldogs that are champions. Keep it on ‘anywhere in the field” (although it’s always in front).
“Order” can be whatever you choose. I prefer name.
The results will deliver nothing but champions.
Now, here’s how to find that perfect breeder for you. Almost every champion dog has the reputable breeders’ names just before the actual name of the dog. If the breeder is a good breeder that has been breeding frenchies to fit the standard for awhile, they will normally have 2 or more dogs that have championed. If you sorted by name you’ll see at the top, breeders like Absolut, Afabulls, Adams, etc.
Now “Google”(search(msn & yahoo are fine too)) the breeder’s name. Sometimes all you have to do is search the name by typing in “Afabulls”. But sometimes a breeder has a common name like Adams (popular street name) or Absolut (popular alcoholic brand). In that case, just type in something like “absolut french bulldog” or “Adams french bulldog puppies”. If they have a website, it will show up otherwise you may find a directory with their contact information.
I hope this helps someone in finding the best frenchie for you.
Remember, these breeders make the best frenchies and they aren’t puppy mills. So waiting lists can be long and breedings can be few and far between.
Patience is a Virtue…
You can also use Frenchie Info.com’s search engine to research dog’s pedigrees. Sometimes you’ll find that some frenchies do a better job than others in passing on champion blood.
Hi Tink & Co. -
While I think that your suggestion about frenchieinfo.com is a great one (I use that site a lot, personally), I also think that people need to remember that there’s more to a good dog – and a good breeder – than just a title on the front of the dog.
My Grandmother always said “pretty is as pretty does”, and that applies to dog breeding, too. It’s not just enough to take two pretty, titled dogs and stick them together to make babies. Good breeders are also checking to make sure that what’s INSIDE those dogs looks good, too.
Ask potential breeders what health conditions they test their dogs for, and ask if you can see copies of the results. If they tell you “We don’t have to test, our dogs are all healthy” – run!
Here’s a list of some of the common health conditions in Frenchies that good breeders are testing for — http://frenchbulldogz.org/purchasing/health.htm
At the least, expect to see CERF eyes and heart, hips and patellas, spines checked, possibly VWD and thyroid.
Lots can go wrong with Frenchies – why not a good breeder do their best to minimize the chances that it will happen to YOUR new baby?
Thanks FrogDogZ,assumed that if the breeder breeds for champions, as a reputable breeder he’s breeding the healthiest dogs too.
I completely agree. I guess I just
I want to blog about frenchie health soooo bad. But, I wouldn’t know where to start. Our little Tink is always making weird sounds, itching weird places, having various soils. These things always make us very curious about french bulldog health. Health is a big issue that we are afraid we don’t have much experience to be bloggin about.
This is why we truly appreciate comments like this.
I just assumed that if the breeder breeds for champions, as a reputable breeder he’s breeding the healthiest dogs too
I wish that were true, but it’s not. Puppy buyers still have to be aware, ask questions, and insist on seeing health test results.
There are a lot of reasons why Frenchies have health issues. They were bred selectively from achondroplastic dwarves found in Bulldogs, which has given them numerous skeletal issues. They are flat faced, with the accompanying issues that come with brachycephalic syndrome. Skin and itching issues often accompany thyroid problems. The list goes on.
Some of these, unfortunately, we have to ‘accept’ as the price of loving and owning such a man made breed. Some can be tested for and hopefully eliminated from our breeding program. Its our job as breeders to do the best we can to minimize health risks with the science available to us.
Cheers,

As a veteran Frenchie “pet” owner (our oldest Annabelle passed away in 2006), I take issue with the fact that people say that these dogs have health issues or are prone to problems… A healthy dog is a healthy dog, and that is precisely what ethical and responsible dog-owners try their best to “procreate” when showing and breeding their champion dogs…
I had a Frenchie that lived to be 14… She never spent more than 2 nights in a hospital – the first, the night she was spayed (and had her soft palate and nares examined), and the second when she accidentally consumed chocolates… She was spry and active, walked every day to and from work, and could jump up and down from the couch until her last 2 weeks… She never posed any concern, never had skin-related issues, or eating disorders, and this was all due to IMPECCABLE breeding.
The search for reputable breeders is really rather easy these days when you cross-check kennels or hobby breeders listed by the FBDCA, with those that participate in AKC-sponsored conformation events, researching the dogs that are CERF and OFA-certified on public databases (and finding out whether pied / white / cream dogs have been BAER-tested), and politely sending a letter of introduction via email… Even if you don’t want a “show-quality” dog, or you only want a “pet quality” dog (and most breeders happen to LOATHE that expression), seeking out the best-of-the-best and national / international champions and composing a brief letter stating your interest in being notified of prospective litters will usually gain you a reservation on waiting lists, even if it’s a really looooooong list… And when puppies are eventually announced, send another congratulatory letter stating: “Gorgeous puppies you have there… I realize they’re probably already spoken for, but do remember that we’re still puppyless and are keenly interested and we happen to think that your dogs are THE BEST.” A little ego-stroking will keep you on their list… And remember that the spunk of champion stud dogs can be artificially-inseminated in several females in different states… Some of the better breeders work in tandem with each other, crossing CH La-dee-dah’s DAM to CH Braggin’ Right’s SIRE… So while it’s generally preferable to find a breeder in your immediate driving-distance area and be able to visit personally and select a puppy first-hand, it’s the research done in seeking the truly BEST breeders that has no limitations or geographical boundaries… There are terrific French Bulldog breeders in the US, in Canada, in Germany, in the UK, and, yes, even in Russia and the Czech Republic, but it’s pouring through the national breed clubs that’ll aid a person in their search for an ideal puppy…
And more importantly: LEARN ABOUT THE BREED! And I don’t mean reading and reciting the standard literature… I mean by really, really studying conformation… Look at the toplines, look at the heads, look at the ears, and look at the gazes of different dogs… Look at their forequarters, and their hindquarters, and look at their hocks… Go to the dog shows and avidly watch how they walk, and move and project themselves… Knowing that SOME of these dogs are prone to hemivertebrae and spinal / disk / luxating patella problems, take your time to really scrutinize and assess a dog… It’s hard to do with a puppy, granted, because they grow of course… And that’s why it’s imperative that all dog buyers learn what distinguishes an “ethical hobby breeder”… A breeder that tells a person that blue eyes are rare and highly desirable, and that the puppy should cost more is not on the up-and-up, whereas a breeder that tells you that a couple of their puppies had corrective surgeries performed on cherry eyes, or that puppies from CH-so-and-so and CH-so-and-so pairing developed allergies so they removed said dogs from their breeding program is at least being candid and forthright. And let’s face it, there are just WAY too many froggies with chronic allergies to fall for the “None of my puppies have EVER suffered from skin problems…” from the lesser-known or, yes, even famous kennels. There are, naturally, some healthier lines and Frenchieinfo.com is fun to peruse and trace a dog’s ancestry, but it’s pouring through the impressive champions that have criss-crossed both sides of the Atlantic and studying which of the kennels have consistently bred champions for 20, 30, or even 40 years that really stand out from all the rest…
No dog is 100% perfect… They ALL have faults and flaws, and each breed has inherent genetic problems that need to be pre-screened to minimize these health risks (as Carol so eloquently stated), but then it’s all in the hands of the Grand Poobah, the Big Kahuna, or whatever you want to call the divine creator…
It took me 10 years to find my second “ideal” Frenchie… I now have 4 lounging around under my table… I’ve met haughty breeders, and snobby breeders, and good old-fashioned, practical, no-nonsense breeders, and wretched breeders, and lots, and lots of backyard breeders pretending to be hobby breeders, but I’ve studied the breed avidly, and keenly for almost 18 years… I have my Top 5 favorite breeders, which evolves over the years, and some day, when I do get “bitten by the show bug”, I’ll exhibit a spectacular dog in conformation… Might be Belgian or, perhaps, German, or could be from Canada or the USA, but finding well-bred dogs really isn’t all that difficult… There’s a plethora of information that didn’t exist when I got my first Frenchie 17 years ago (and we didn’t have the world wide web, and we didn’t have Google, and we didn’t have easy-access databases, and we didn’t have breed-club websites, and we didn’t have member forums or blogs to pour through)… With all the information that’s so readily available, I really can’t fathom how people can still buy THE WRONG PUPPY these days.
