French Bulldog Breeders
French Bulldog breeders surprised the English when they renamed a toy version of the English Bulldog after their own country. The Bulldog had long been a representative of English culture. However, the English had not accepted the smaller version of the Bulldog that the French people came to love. In the 1800’s, toy Bulldogs were exported from England to France. French Bulldog Breeders began to breed specific traits in this smaller Bulldog to distinguish it from the English version. Today there are bullies and frenchies as well as American Bulldogs. All three are distinctive breeds though they share common ancestors.
Bulldog breeders, like most purebred breeders, love the breed be it American, English or French. Bulldogs are not low maintenance dogs, so it takes true love for breeders to dedicate their lives and homes to a specific breed. Each of the three versions has specific health, behavioral and social needs and good Bulldog breeders meet these needs and help potential buyers meet the needs of Bulldog puppies.
The English did not take to a smaller, toy-sized English Bulldog, but the smaller version became so popular in France that French Bulldog breeders renamed it the French Bulldog and bred in different traits than those seen in the English Bulldog. The French Bulldog has a smaller head and erect, bat ears unique to the breed.
French Bulldogs are toy versions of the English variety. The two breeds have similar health, behavioral, and social issues. The American Bulldog is much larger but has many of the same predispositions as the smaller English and French Bulldogs.
Bulldogs are social creatures and will follow owners everywhere. It is important for owners to interact with them and show affection. Because of the Bulldog’s history of aggression, any behavioral issues should be dealt with consistently from the time dogs are puppies. Bulldogs respond well to positive reinforcement and tone of voice. Hitting or otherwise negatively reinforcing behavior can be detrimental to this breed. Buyers can ask American, English and French Bulldog breeders for additional specifics on breed care and treatment.
Small Bulldogs cannot regulate their own body temperature and thus should not be left outdoors. They overheat easily and can have heatstroke. Bulldogs may also have skin conditions and eye disorders. Because English and French Bulldogs are indoor pets, they may become obese if not kept active. Female Bulldogs often must deliver puppies by caesarian section due to puppy heads being too big to pass through the birth canal. American, English and French Bulldog breeders can educate potential dog owners about Bulldog health, temperament, and care.
First and foremost, good breeders never sell dogs to pet stores. Any breeder selling to a pet store does so because he thinks of animals as merchandise. Good breeders see dogs as members of the family. Second, good breeders only have a litter available at a time. If a breeder has too many puppies available at one time, buyers should ask how the breeder is providing love and attention to them all. Most likely, these breeders do not have puppies on site. They may be brokers who order puppies from elsewhere but tell buyers they have whelped and raised puppies themselves.
Third, good breeders provide documentation. This includes medical records, health screenings, pedigree information, certification on themselves and puppies and a warranty against defects. Fourth, good breeders expect to be interviewed and can answer all of buyers’ questions. Breeders will also thoroughly interview buyers to ensure puppies are going to appropriate, loving and informed homes.
