Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
We want our puppies to go to their new home with a world of confidence. Puppies will be exposed to a range of sights, sounds, smells and experiences within a safe and supportive environment, and will have commenced toilet, lead and crate training. All puppies will also be personality and temperament tested to assess…
Health
All of our breeding dogs are thoroughly health tested prior to breeding for genetic and physical conditions that can affect the breed and future litters. Puppies will come with a vet health check, vaccinations, microchip and deworming treatment.
Home environment
Our dogs are raised in a loving home, with plenty of space to roam around and explore their surroundings. We work from home full-time, so it means our dogs are with us most if not all of the time and can ensure they are given lots of love and attention, and kept cool, in our air-conditioned home during the hot summer…
Included with our puppies
We want every family to feel 100% supported and knowing that we are here to help get you and your new addition off to the best start. Our puppies all come with a beautifully-arranged puppy pack with lots of great goodies, tips and advice, including blanket, toys, food and more. Our pups also come with 6 weeks pet…

Additional Tests
Your Bestfrenchie conducts 8 additional tests available for the French Bulldog.
Genetic Test
A mutation in the ADAMTS3 gene has been associated with airway disease in dogs. The mutation causes airway swelling and fluid build up which can make affected dogs very prone to breathing problems. There is now a DNA test available in some breeds to identify whether a breeding dog has a mutation in their ADAMTS3 gene. Breeders can use this test to inform their breeding program and help minimise the risk of breathing problems in their puppies.
Genetic Test
Canine Multifocal Retinopathy (CMR) is a genetic disorder causing local detachment of the retina in young dogs. It does not always cause impaired vision or blindness but can in severe cases. There are three types of CMR affecting different breeds. A DNA test is available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Physical Test
These breeders have had x-rays taken on their breeding dogs to assess the quality of their elbow joints. Dogs with very low ‘elbow scores’ are less likely to develop elbow problems in the future and less likely to pass hereditary elbow problems on to their puppies.
Genetic Test
Hereditary Cataracts (HC) is a genetic form of cataracts. There is a DNA test available in some breeds to indicated whether a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Genetic Test
Hyperuricosuria (HUU) is a genetic disease that causes a build-up of uric acid in the urine, predisposing to painful bladder and kidney stones. It can occur in a range of breeds. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Genetic Test
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) in dogs is a type of genetic eye disease causing deterioration of the retina and eventually, blindness. There are a variety of sub-types of PRA, which can occur in various breeds. There are various DNA tests available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
The DVL2 gene is the common cause of the 'screw-tail' shape in many breeds including Bulldogs and Boston Terriers. This very short, kinked tail is linked to other skeletal abnormalities such as hemivertebrae, which can predispose these dogs to slipped discs and other spinal problems. Breeders can now identify if their breeding dogs are carrying the mutated DVL2 gene. Dogs who are positive for this gene and have had any hemivertebrae noted on their spinal xrays, should not be bred.
