French Bulldog Health Screening<\/h1><\/div>

Recommended Breeding Practices for the French Bulldog<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n
  1. In line with the breed standard, it is not recommended to breed from any dog exhibiting severe respiratory distress.<\/li>\n
  2. X ray spines for major defects prior to breeding :\u00a0 defects include hemivertebrae, kinks and distortions of the spine.\u00a0 Screen for long term stability of the spine.<\/li>\n
  3. X ray for hip dysplasia prior to breeding.<\/li>\n
  4. X rays should be submitted and scored under the French Bulldog scheme or by a nationally recognised scheme.\u00a0 For breeding purposes spine and hip x rays should be taken when the dog is over 12 months of age.<\/li>\n
  5. X ray and screen puppies spines prior to sale.<\/li>\n
  6. DNA test for hereditary cataracts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Why spine and hip X ray puppies?<\/h1><\/div>

    We X ray \/ screen puppies for several reasons:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • To establish whether the spine and hips are relatively normal.<\/li>\n
    • To obtain an idea of the relative quality of the spines and hips between litter mates as an extra selection tool in selecting the best future breeding stock.<\/li>\n
    • To eliminate bad backs (and to a lesser extent at this age – hips) from breeding programs and to prevent severe abnormalities from being on-sold to the general public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2258","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2258"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4365,"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2258\/revisions\/4365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/frenchbulldogclubnsw.asn.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
