How Is A French Bulldog Made?

The French Bulldog is a beloved companion breed with an adorable, playful, and loyal personality. With their smooshed faces, bat-like ears, and short, muscular bodies, they have become one of the most popular small dog breeds today. But how is this unique and beloved breed made?

    • History and Breeding

    Originating from England and Belgium, French Bulldogs were bred as a companion animal from the English Bulldog. They were bred to be smaller, making them easier to transport, and were popular among lace workers who brought them over when they fled to France during the industrial revolution. Eventually, the now popular French Bulldog was bred and gained popularity in the United States.

    The Process of Making a French Bulldog

    Once a breeder has chosen their dogs’ parents, the process of making a French Bulldog begins. Breeding a puppy is a multi-step process and with many potential risks and hazards, breeders have to be sure to do their homework and be educated on the risks associated.

    Finding the Breeder

    A good breeder will not only be equipped with knowledge and resources to ensure the puppies’ and parents’ safety and health, but also work to ensure the wellbeing of the puppies throughout their lives. A good way to find a reputable breeder is to start with referrals from veterinarian, other breeders, or kennel clubs.

    Choosing the Parents

    When deciding who to breed, breeders need to keep the breed standard in mind to ensure the puppies turn out correctly and unharmed. Breeders should check for a good childhood and clear medical records for health problems, as well as make sure to pick parents that have the right temperament, conformation, and color.

    Preparing the Breeding

    Before the breeding can commence, breeders need to prepare the breeding environment of the parents. This includes cleaning the area, providing clean beds, setting the temperature to a comfortable level, ensuring plenty of water, and providing a calm and quiet atmosphere.

    The Breeding Process

    Once the environment and parents are prepared, breeding can then take place. The breeding process can take several inseminations and many tries, with the parents typically separated for three days to give the female dog some rest. After fertilization takes place, the female French Bulldog usually has a gestation period of nine to 11 weeks.

    Birth and After Care

    When the puppies are born, the breeder will ensure the puppies’ health and wellbeing by attending to the mother and puppies regularly. This includes monitoring temperature, artificial respiration, and even hand-feeding the puppies if needed.

    Raising the Puppies

    Once the puppies are born, the breeder will continue to ensure the puppies’ health and wellbeing by attending to them regularly. This includes teaching them crucial skills like proper potty training, positive reinforcement and socialization, proper nutrition, and proper exercise. The puppies will also have to receive the necessary vaccinations.

    Making a French Bulldog is an extensive process involving many steps and precautions, but is essential to producing these beloved pet dogs. Although it can take months of hard work to produce, the result is well worth it, creating healthy and loving puppies to become the best companion animals.
