Latest French Bulldog Frequently Asked Questions:
I need to ship my french bulldog across the country this summer, but a lot of the airlines will not fly stub-nosed breeds because of the heat. Also I'm looking for an inexpensive option. Any suggestions?
Answer:The airlines are correct, its just too hot. I have a friend that runs a puppy delivery and travels all over the country. He is just as cheap, or cheaper than the airlines and gives them personal attention. His site is..... www.puppyexpressdelivery.com I've personally dealt with this man, and I vouch for him. He even gives them an airconditioner and a flat screen tv to listen to. Lol.
Is there anything to give my French Bulldog to combat his gas problem. And if you have a French Bulldog, what kind of food do you feed him or her. We feed ours Blue Buffalo, and before that ukanuba.
Answer:Bulldogs and boxers share a common physical feature; a shorter colon which produces more gas build-up. My boxers were pee-u stinky! Try switching to a higher grade (human grade) food. That will help.
I have recently had a litter of 6 vibrant, healthy and plump little French Bulldog puppies after mating my Ellie (3 years old) to E-Jay (1 year 5 months old). This was my first litter of puppies ever. My dogs weren't tested for anything and aren't Champions but Ellie and Kaylie's parents are both AKC Champs (they are sisters) and E-Jay has a Grand Champion father. Also, all their generations were tested for genetics. I have NO idea how to find a good, worthy puppy buyer for all my puppies. I would be willing to keep a few but I really want to sell them all. Any suggestions? After confirming with my vet, there are 3 males and 3 females in her litter - all black and white. I don't want any of my puppies going to bad, unworthy homes so how can I find a good owner for them all? I have set the price at $1700 for females and $1300 for males but this may change as they grow. They are AKC registered, vet checked, wormed, microchipped and are currently a week old. Thanks. Oh and don't worry. I am not selling them yet, I just want to take deposits so I have homes lined up when they are older. I plan to sell them after they are 9 weeks old. Basically all I want is the new puppy buyer to be worthy, loving, able to afford and care for a puppy forever. They must know things about the breed and must be willing to fix their pups before 12 months old unless I decide that they can breed them.
Answer:PLEASE make sure you include a contract to Spay or Neuter the dog with every one you sell... not that I think you should've been allowed to breed your Frenchies anyway........ Your French Bulldogs don't have the necessary requirements to be bred and could potentially contaminate the gene pool with health and personality problems. Also make sure that you let any buyer know the health risks that Frenchies have-- they often have skin allergies and horrible gas depending on what they eat. They snore loudly and can't handle the heat. They cannot handle lots of exercise (like jogging). They're probably one of the most troublesome breeds-- but their beauty and personalities make up for their heath problems. PS. I don't believe that they're AKC registered... unless you did it at petsmart or something.....
I'm trying to buy a French Bulldog. What should I know about one and where can I get a good one in the Philadelphia area?
Answer:http://www.frenchbulldogclub.org/ht/d/sp/i/229/pid/229 That should help to find a breeder in your area. As for prices, you're probably looking at around $1000 or somewhere in the area. Unless of course you go through rescue, but it'll most likely be an adult. Just don't buy from a pet store, as you'll only be supporting puppy mills.
I have a 4 month old French bulldog. I was wondering if any other owners could tell me how old their Frenchie was when they started climbing up and going down the stairs. He's tall enough to go up them now, but he's still too short to go down without hurting himself. Is there any reason I should be worried about him using the stairs? I know that these dogs have a lot of hip/leg health issues.
Answer:My 5 month old frenchie just started to go down stairs 2 weeks ago. She would go up, but not down. I would put her paws on the first step and call her down, she eventually got it! I know that jumping and climbing should be limited, but I think its important for her to be able to get around on her own. The only way for her to get outside, is down stairs. She hops down slowly, this seems to stop her chest from touching the stairs. Good luck
