Why this breed is missing
Why we don't currently place French Bulldog puppies
The breed-specific health risks for the French Bulldog are high — especially when it comes to breathing and stamina. In these cases, a lot depends on the breeder: on consistent screenings, transparent results, and breeding choices that put health ahead of appearance. Assessing this breed is complex and not straightforward. We currently don't have a standard for this that we would rely on — which is why we aren't showing any breeders or puppies for this breed for the time being. As soon as we can change this, we'll include the breed again.

About French Bulldog
French bulldogs are considered a prime example of breeds with extreme breeding traits. Due to short-headedness, the so-called brachycephalic respiratory syndrome is very common and is associated, among other things, with impaired thermoregulation and breathing problems. Snoring, often referred to as “cute,” is a sign of suffering. Furthermore, skeletal deformities, allergies and some other hereditary problems are very common in this breed. For many dogs of this breed, a high level of care for humans and corresponding veterinary costs are almost guaranteed, not to mention the suffering of these dogs.

Why HonestDog?
What makes HonestDog different from other platforms
Full transparency
We show what's on file: who the breeders are, how they work and which health records they've uploaded. That way you can form your own picture.
Verified breeders, open records
Every breeder on HonestDog has their identity and documents checked before their profile goes live. Health records they upload are shown on the profile, so you can see exactly what has been tested.
Clear vetting criteria
Before a breeder profile goes live, we check identity, club membership or breeding permit, and photos of the breeding environment. HonestDog puts you in touch with the breeder and doesn't sell dogs itself — we can't guarantee any individual dog.
Less hassle, more time
We've already checked the breeders' documents and gathered the details, so you can skip the endless research and focus on finding the right puppy for your family.
