Why this breed is missing
Why we don't currently place Frenchton puppies
The breed-specific health risks for the Frenchton 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 Frenchton
AI imageThe Frenchton originated in the USA in the 2000s from the deliberate crossing of the French Bulldog and the Boston Terrier—two breeds that share a similar size, temperament, and short-muzzled head structure. A common selling point is that the Boston Terrier ancestry makes this cross a healthier alternative to a purebred French Bulldog. This is misleading: the Boston Terrier is itself brachycephalic, meaning the cross does not resolve the underlying respiratory problems, but merely makes their severity unpredictable from litter to litter. HonestDog does not list puppies of this crossbreed because the underlying health claim is scientifically untenable. Prospective owners looking for a small, people-oriented family dog will find significantly more robust alternatives among non-brachycephalic breeds of a similar size, such as smaller terrier or pinscher breeds.

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.

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.
