Given that the French Bulldog is very popular, the percentage with hereditary disorders has increased dramatically years ago and the largest percentage are French Bulldogs without a recognized FCI pedigree (money breeders/puppy mills) and smaller percentage are French Bulldogs with an FCI recognized pedigree (dogs that have not been tested for hereditary defects/oops litters/money breeders/inexperienced breeders) The problem as described above does not only occur in the Netherlands and the surrounding countries, but also in other countries. However, there are also countries with FCI pedigrees and countries such as America and Canada (the latter two operate independently) where health is not taken so seriously and breeds with small very short dogs, the nose as flat as possible and without a small tail and the majority have breathing problems and many hereditary disorders. Although we receive a lot of requests for puppies from America from private individuals and from breeders who want to breed healthy French Bulldogs and would like to be supervised and we are very happy with that.  Less visible to the layman is that due to breeding with problems, vitality has deteriorated. We have already started testing for hereditary defects (including X-rays of the back) with our second French Bulldog, but we have expanded the tests much more. All our French Bulldogs   are fully tested for hereditary / genetic abnormalities before breeding including BOAS (breathing problems) and they are also all in possession of a DNA certificate! Our goal has always been to breed a healthy type of French Bulldog with a slightly longer back, with a little nose with good nostrils and a good breathing so BOAS FREE!!! See puppy picture below a beautiful healthy well built French Bulldog puppy 4 months old (It must of course still clearly remain a French Bulldog and don’t become a hunting dog type) This puppy in the picture is cream in color in real life and this color but also variegated ones (with white spots) never have a black mask but do pass a black mask on to their offspring.

It has always been our aim to stay close to nature, so we have our own method. You can read more information at hereditary defects that are neatly described in detail per part, click here. The health results and pedigrees are listed for each dog on their own page.

We are very proud of what we have achieved since 2006 in terms of appearance and health. We only use FCI recognized colors so no prohibited colors. There may still be FCI banned colors in the back lines. Since February 1, 2016, French Bulldogs with the unrecognized colors Blue, Blue Merle, Chocolate Brown and Black & Tan can no longer be used for breeding. In principle, the mentioned colors do not occur in the French Bulldog and there is a suspicion that these entail health problems. But our dogs are all color tested and can’t produce these sick colors either. Finally, a French Bulldog does not have a long tail genetically and cannot inherit this either.

The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) is a worldwide umbrella organization for purebred dogs (cynology) (founded 1911) The FCI is a partnership of many national kennel clubs (100 countries) Not all national kennel clubs are members of the FCI. For example, the kennel clubs of Great Britain, Canada and America are not affiliated; they operate independently. However, the FCI and the American, Canadian and English kennel clubs have made mutual agreements, among other things about the recognition of stud books.

We can never guarantee 100% health, because we are dealing with (distant) ancestors and with nature! Two healthy people can also have an unhealthy child and not everything is immediately visible and can be reflected in old age.

Also the breed standard should be adjusted to a slightly longer body (more space for the organs and the back that is not compressed like a yo-yo), nose should be slightly longer with wide nostrils and should be in a normal position so that the dog can breathe and the larynx also gets more space.

We breed with French Bulldogs that meet very strict genetic and physical requirements. See our health tests click here

Through years of hard work and using only purebred French Bulldogs with globally recognized FCI pedigrees, which have been tested for all possible hereditary defects (physical & genetic) we have finally achieved our goal and we are so very proud of that!!! Without using other breeds or crosses (which is the easiest and cheapest method)

What we generally do on health issues with the French Bulldog that we have been breeding since 2006 have finally achieved and what they are very proud of: *Spacious trachea. *Normal palates *Spacious nostrils. *No breathing problems. *So no BOAS! *Good knees. *Good elbows. *Good hips. *Good back. *Most of our females gives birt on a natural way. *No hereditary coat problems or allergies (Allergies can also arise spontaneously just like by people) *No sufferers of genetic hereditary defects (dogs can be carriers but will never be bothered by it because we only combine free X carrier and free x free) Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to only free x free to combine but carrier x free also gives free offspring that you can continue to breed with.

And another important point is how the puppy buyers handle their puppy during the first year (that applies to every breed) to prevent skeletal and similar problems (hips, knees, elbows, back, etc.)

* The right food that is tailored to the food for a growing puppy is very important and keep a puppy at a good weight, so not too fat and not skinny but feel the ribs clearly and if you are not familiar with it, let your vet know feel the puppy.
*Exercise is useful and good for the development of your dog’s skeleton and musculature, but please note:
*No long walks but build it up, no stairs, avoid Loch sands, no wild games and movements, watch out for potholes, this can cause developmental disorders with lifelong consequences!
* Make sure you have enough mandatory rest.

Insurance

It is possible to take out insurance for your pet. This can help you to cover any vet costs. You can inquire with the various insurance companies about the conditions and premium and compare them, it is recommended to be able to pay unexpected costs such as operations and emergencies that can be very high.

We also don’t rehome females with someone else so that we can continue breeding with the female to earn more money click here

Breeding is a hobby for us that we don’t have to get rich from.
You can send us a message through the contact form with a clear explanation about yourself (family) what a puppy has to offer, experience, how long is the dog alone (we do not sell puppies to people who work full-time) so preferably as much as possible information. Then we will email you back to make an appointment for a telephone conversation, which is a bit more personal. Of course you can also call us directly without sending an email in advance

French Bulldog kennel “Bulls of Crown” who breed out of love for the breed! A dog that can do everything that any dog, regardless of purebred or mongrel can do. Our dogs are suitable for dog sports, hiking and just as a family dog.
