Something Important To Consider
When Buying A 'Frenchie' Puppy We have all seen the adorable Frenchies in the movies and advertisements. They are all creme and cute.
And, now in your search for a puppy you make your first consideration 'color'. This may not be a good idea. Reputable
breeders breed in all of the acceptable colors, brindle, creme/fawn, black mask and piebald (pied). You will see examples
of all of these colors on this website or other websites of other breeders. But, in your search for a French bulldog
puppy, please keep an open mind where color is concerned. There are advantages and disadvantages to all colors.
Creme dogs probably will have tear stains and/or discolorations around their feet which are very unatractive and hard
to remove. Lighter color dogs may be more prone to allergies (although some may dispute this). Brindles do absorb
light and heat as they are darker, and may require more care in warmer weather. The important thing to remember is that you are buying a puppy for life, and
you have chosen a wonderful breed. When selecting your puppy pay particular attention to how the puppy relates
to you initially. Be careful that it is well socialized, confident but not aggressive. Eliminating puppies on
the basis of color may result in gaining a designer pet for your leash, but missing out on a wonderful best friend
for life. In Florida demand a health certificate. It's required by law! Make sure the puppy is at loeast
8 weeks old, it's the law too! Hopefully, you have seen the brteder's facility and one or both of the parents. Finally, beware of 'fad' colors especially
'blue' frenchies. They are not acceptable according to the French Bulldog breed standards in the United States or Canada.
These are genetically recessive colors that are not produced by reputable breeders. They are expensive only because
they are a fad, and are rare only because reputable breeders refuse to breed them. To learn more click on the link below
to read about fad colors. Now, go out search for your puppy, but keep an open mind about color, please!
