French Bulldog Puppies

You have to be really careful and be well-informed when buying a French bulldog as is a long term acquisition and the dog is going to be your proud possession for the next ten to twelve years. You can quite often be misled by the glib talk of the local pet shop owner into making a wrong choice. To avoid this, and to make a right choice, you will have to do some research on the qualities of a bulldog with all available information.

The first obvious step is to identify a good French bulldog breeder. Many owners consider breeding their French bulldog as a business proposition and are driven by commercial greed. The breeder has to be reliable and honest in his dealings. In fact even a family dog owner who owns a female French bulldog is a potential breeder when he decides to takes his bitch out for crossing.

You should be in a fit position to ask the breeder some critical questions and also know what the right answers are. For instance, you should be familiar with the general health problems of bulldogs and ask the French Bulldog Breeder pointed questions. Only healthy dogs that meet the breed standards should be allowed to mate.

Dog lovers know hip dysplasia is a common occurrence in bulldogs. If you ask the French bulldog breeder any query relating to this particular disorder, the breeder should be able to produce the OFA hip ratings of both parents of the French bulldog.

It is expected that French bulldog breeders follow a set of ethical rules while breeding. They must ensure that the male and female bulldogs that are to cross, thoroughly examined by a qualified Veterinarian for any genetic disorders. The responsible French bulldog breeder should not allow the mating of closely related bulldogs. As a matter of fact, the population of French bulldogs is rather small and thus there is every chance of incestuous breeding.

The mating should only take place when the dogs are in a relaxed mood and not when they are neurotic or hyperactive. A French bulldog breeder will allow sufficient and reasonable amount of time between two mating sessions of a particular bitch.

A responsible French bulldog breeder will take pride in his pups and will testify for the quality of his pups and even offer a replacement should the pup develop any genetic disease later on. They make a careful assessment of their puppies and sell them either as bulldogs fit for show and for breeding or as pets. The true French bulldog breeder will never shy away from letting you see his puppies and will never put up for sale defective puppies.

French bulldogs are compact, muscular dogs with a smooth coat, solid bone structure and a pug nose. A valued companion and a trusted watchdog, the French bulldog stands 11 to 12 inches tall and ideally weighs around 26 pounds. His head is large and square with round sharp eyes. The tails is short and either straight or screwed. Their skin is quite soft making them very appealing pets.

It is prudent to consult local kennels, dog clubs and bulldog owners before selecting a good breeder as any indiscretion will make you end up with a wrong pet.

Top 5 Tips for Puppies

  1. Make sure you puppy proof your home. Puppies are curious little creatures and can find their way into mischief when you least expect it. Get down on your hands and knees and take a look around from your puppies perspective before you ever bring him home. What kind of hazards do you see that might be tempting for your new family member … electric cords, expensive shoes laying around, trash cans that might entice … hmmmm?
  2. Have your puppies “gear” ready. Puppies need bowls for food and water, a collar with a name tag and a leash … he will need a place to sleep … a crate if you decide to do that, or a safe spot for your puppies bed where he won’t be disturbed, grooming supplies and of course toys … the more varied, the less likely he will have to find his own … LOL … like your favorite pair of shoes!
  3. One of the most important puppy care tips … puppies need to be introduced to your family slowly and quietly. Never let small children play with the puppy unsupervised and make sure you show them how to play gently. Puppies are just babies and they need to be confined to one room to begin with where they can get their bearings and feel secure. Do this right and your puppy will be a joy to be around!
  4. Puppies should be introduced slowly to your existing family pets … your new puppy is entering another’s world and this will be a big adjustment for both of them … let things happen naturally.
  5. Puppies need to see a veterinarian. Be sure to take your puppy to a veterinarian for an initial exam. This will reveal any existing health problems, and your pup will get his much needed vaccinations. Follow your veterinarian's recommendation for additional visits.

Pet dogs can brains toxic mix

French Bulldog
Pet dogs - Marta Venier and Ronald Hites environmental scientists from the Indiana University consider pet dogs could help sense these compounds, thanks to the attendance of chemical flame retardants in their blood at concentration five to 10 times higher than in humans, but lower than levels found in an earlier study of cats.

Dogs may be improved proxies than cats, they say, because a dog's metabolism is better ready to break down the substances, reports the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

The study centers on the presence of polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the blood of dogs and in gainful dog food, according to an Indiana report.

PBDEs have been widely used as flame retardants in household furniture and electronics tools. The compounds can travel out of the products and come into the environment.

"Even though they've been around for quite a while... The bottom line is that we still need to keep measuring them, particularly in homes," said Venier.

PBDE combinations made up of less-brominated compounds are regarded as more unsafe because they bioaccumulate in animal tissues.

These mixtures were expelled by the European Union and were gladly removed from the US market in 2004, but remain in the environment. Mixtures with more-brominated compounds stay in use in the US, but will be phased out by 2013.
