Don’t look for a puppy that you love, look for a breeder that you love.
Tips to help you find a great puppy
French Bulldogs are in demand and finding a puppy may prove difficult. Here are some tips:
- You are making a long-term commitment so don’t settle on the first breeder you find – make sure you choose a reputable breeder.
- Anyone can put two dogs together and call themselves a breeder but that doesn’t necessarily make them responsible or reputable.
- An ethical and responsible breeder breeds to improve the health and quality of the French Bulldog, not just to produce a product for sale.
- They know their dogs, have an in depth knowledge of bloodlines, study pedigrees and health test their breeding stock.
- Reputable breeders are members of a State controlling body such as Dogs NSW and are also members of a French Bulldog breed club.
- Avoid responding to advertisements in free on-line classified sites. Scammers and backyard breeders use these sites.
- Registered breeders in NSW must include their Dogs NSW membership number in all advertisements offering dogs or puppies for sale.
To find a reputable breeder the best place to start is to check the breeder listings on this site.
