Buy French Bulldog Puppies That Are Smart and Affectionate

French bulldogs are intelligent and affectionate dogs that can adapt well to many types of homes. They love to play and are very entertaining! They are a breed that requires routines every day in order to be happy and healthy.

When choosing a breeder from whom to purchase your French bulldog, choose one that is responsible and takes care of their dogs. If possible, meet the parents.

AKC Registration

The American Kennel Club, or AKC is the main registry for purebred dogs in the United States. The AKC works to preserve the genetic heritage of the dog breed by registering pedigrees and litters. This will ensure that your French Bulldog is purebred and will assist you in determining the health risks and problems of the dog.

Ask the breeder if they have registered their puppies with the AKC when you are looking for an animal to adopt. This is an excellent method to confirm the parents' registration. It will also allow you to obtain a an entire pedigree later.

Some breeders may offer limited registrations for their puppies. A limited registration does not permit the dog to compete in AKC events or whelp puppies that are qualified for full AKC registration. Breeders can upgrade a dog with a limited registration to full registration at anytime. This is an excellent option for owners who wish to participate in AKC events and display their dogs.

It is also worth checking if the breeder has a"PAL" (Purebred Alternative Listing) number. This allows a dog who isn't in compliance with AKC breed standards to be registered as purebred. This is a great option for dog owners who are interested in competing or breeding their dog, but aren't interested in meeting the requirements of a full AKC registration.

When buying a French bulldog, be sure to inquire with the breeder about their naming policy. The AKC has strict rules about giving dogs unique names that conform to their guidelines for naming. The breeder will be able to give you the AKC name check and registration number for the litter.

AKC registration is not a guarantee of quality or temperament. Some high-quality French Bulldogs were sold with no AKC papers. It's because unlicensed breeders have a litter registered before the puppies are assessed and then use the pedigree information for the pups already born. This can lead to an inaccurate indication of the quality, therefore it is important to consider other aspects when deciding on which Frenchie to buy.

Responsible breeders also check for patellar deformity, a frequent condition that can lead to painful and irreparable knee injuries in Frenchies. They also perform ophthalmic exams to screen for eye disease like cherry eyes, cataracts, and progressive retinal atrophy.

The breeder should also examine their breeding line for elbow and hip dysplasia. X-rays or other orthopedic examinations can detect this.

They should also screen the dog for brachycephalic disorder that is caused by noses that are narrow with short nostrils, elongated palates, and a tight windpipe. These features can make it difficult for dogs' airways to open and can lead to heat intolerance, wheezing, and choking.

Socialization
