How does the Club define a “Responsible Breeder”<\/h1><\/div>The French Bulldog Club members are all dedicated to the responsible promotion, breeding and welfare of French Bulldogs. Our Breeders are assessed and held to an even higher set of standards.<\/strong><\/p>\nBut we are only half the solution – it also needs YOU. <\/b><\/p>\n
You can help to starve out intensive puppy farmers and irresponsible<\/span><\/span> breeders by choosing a puppy from a responsible breeder<\/a>. It is the first step in being a responsible pet owner. <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\nTo qualify to become accepted as a recognised breeder by the Club and be put onto the Club’s Breeder List they must:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Be a member of the Club in good standing for a minimum of two consecutive years and have adhered to the FBCNSW Code of Ethics<\/a> and the French Bulldog Club of NSW Constitution and Rules 2022<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Demonstrate the quality of their French Bulldogs by exhibiting them at recognised Dogs NSW Shows and having at least 1 French Bulldog either owned or bred by the breeder attaining an Australian Champion Title.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Breeders must not act as agents for the sale of French Bulldogs for non-club breeders or other non-members – providing confidence that all Frenchies available from Breeders on this list are bred under our Code of Ethics including all Recommended Breeding Practices including the Club’s Health Screening Scheme for Adults<\/a> and Puppies<\/a>, they should hold their health testing data in ORCHID<\/a> and adhere to our breeders’ Code of Practice<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe breed’s popularity has created demand that has attracted breeders who are not of the same dedication and commitment as our Breeders. Choosing from this list gives you piece of mind that your puppy has been given the best possible start in life.<\/p>\n
If you have any issues with a breeder or their puppies from the Club’s Responsible Breeder list, please don’t hesitate to raise the issue with us. If we determine that the matter is a violation of our rules, we will take appropriate steps to resolve the issue, which may include removing the breeder from our list. We are committed to promoting responsible breeding practices and ensuring the welfare of French Bulldogs, and we take any concerns seriously.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Beware of Scammers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>Beware classified ads for French Bulldogs from an unknown source or at prices that are too good to be true.\u00a0If in doubt do contact the club for advice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>The ACCC’s ScamWATCH Recommendations are to protect yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Be cautious – if the advertised price of a pedigree puppy looks too good to be true, it probably is<\/li>\n
- Don’t trust the legitimacy of an ad just because it appears in a reputable newspaper or online classified website – scammers often use these<\/li>\n
- Avoid any arrangement with a stranger that asks for up-front payment via money order, wire transfer or moneygram<\/li>\n
- Do an internet search using the exact wording in the ad – many well-known scams can be found this way<\/li>\n
- If you are in doubt contact a reputable breeders association for advice<\/li>\n
- Remember; it is impossible to import a dog from overseas into Australia in a few weeks as quarantine procedures need to be followed. For details check the requirements with the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service<\/li>\n
- Report<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can report a scam to the ACCC via the report a scam page on SCAMwatch<\/p>\n
