After you’ve decided that the French bulldog is the right dog for your family and lifestyle, finding the right puppy is essential for raising a dog for a long, happy life. Basic online searches will turn up dozens of French bulldog breeders in your area. Choosing a reputable one is challenging, especially when you’re scrolling through pictures of cute bulldog puppies who need homes. More important than finding the cutest dog is one that’s been health tested, socialized, and registered with the AKC. Here are some tips for finding a reputable French bulldog breeder in California.
It’s hard to argue with the expertise that experience brings. When you’re looking for a reputable French bulldog breeder in California, one who has been breeding dogs for decades has established a process that produces happy, healthy puppies. They’ve had a chance to build a reputation, so you can hear testimonials from families who’ve bought their dogs in the past.
Royal Empire French Bulldogs has been breeding brachycephalic dogs for over 20 years and now specializes in Frenchies. We have years of testimonials from happy customers who welcomed our puppies into their families.
Reputable breeders are committed to upholding the standards of the breeds in every litter they produce. They won’t chase current trends for size and color but will hold themselves to the standards set by the American Kennel Club.
Breeding standards ensure that dogs are healthy and represent the very best of Frenchies, from personality to health and longevity. A reputable French bulldog breeder will be happy to share their breeding standards and show pictures of their prior litters as adults.
Health testing gives breeders critical insight into their dogs. It protects the litters against genetic and chronic health problems. If a breeder doesn’t health test their dogs, they could be passing on issues to the puppies that end up being expensive, life-long problems for their new owners.
Genetic testing is essential for breeders to ensure they give healthy puppies to families. At Royal Empire, we go a step further, importing dogs from Europe to diversify the genes in our dogs, making them healthier while pursuing exceptional breed standards.
One of the best ways to know if you’re working with a reputable French bulldog breeder is if you can see the parents of the litter and where they live. A good breeder will be happy to show you their home, kennels, and dogs.
Our dogs are our family at Royal Empire French Bulldogs. They live in our home, surrounded by love. We make sure every puppy is ready to join your family.
You should never buy a puppy without a contract. It not only protects you and the breeder in case something happens, but it can also tell you want to expect from the breeder after you receive a puppy.
The contract should cover which genetic conditions they’ve tested for, the vaccines the puppy has received, and what to do if you’re unable to take care of the dog any longer.
We bring over 20 years of experience to every litter in our care. A few steps we take to ensure long, happy lives for our puppies include health testing, socialization, and AKC registration. We’re our client’s first resource in raising a puppy through house training and obedience, socialization, and more. Our thorough contracts are just one of the ways we provide our future families with peace of mind that we’ve done our part for their puppy’s lifelong wellbeing.
Finding a reliable AKC breeder is one of the most important things you can do when adding a new puppy to your household. Contact Royal Empire to speak with a reputable French bulldog breeder in California.
