Is it free to advertise here?

Yes. A breeder profile and your litter and stud dog adverts are free. Premium profiles, featured placement and sponsored articles are optional paid extras; see pricing.

Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?

In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.

Is my listing already here?

We add licensed breeders from councils' public registers. Search for your kennel name; if it is listed you can claim it and edit everything.

Buying a French Bulldog puppy

Looking for French Bulldog puppies for sale? The breed's popularity means buyers need to take care, and the breed club warns about brokers and dealers who bring in litters in bulk from abroad. Use the listings on caninebreeder.co.uk to find breeders by location, see their website, social links and categories, and contact them directly. Ask for both parents' Respiratory Function Grades before you visit, and see the puppies with their mother where they were raised. The breed standard treats breathing distress or excessive noise as unacceptable, so listen to how the parents breathe. Be wary of blue, merle or other non-standard colours sold at a premium, and of anyone who can supply any colour or sex on demand. We are an independent directory and do not inspect or endorse breeders, so please make your own checks before paying a deposit.

Health tests to ask about

As a brachycephalic (flat-faced) breed, the French Bulldog is at risk of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS), a lifelong, progressive breathing problem that can limit exercise, play, eating and sleep. The RKC also highlights skin fold infections, overcrowded teeth and eye problems linked to shallow eye sockets.

The RKC's minimum Good Practice test is the Respiratory Function Grading Scheme, which it runs jointly with the University of Cambridge. A specially trained vet listens to the dog's breathing at rest and again after three minutes of brisk exercise, then grades it from 0 (no signs) to 3 (severe signs). The RKC does not recommend breeding from a grade 3 dog. Grading is available from 12 months of age, with a repeat assessment advised every two years while the dog is used for breeding. Best Practice adds a hereditary cataract DNA test and hip, elbow and eye screening.

The breed has been in Breed Watch Category 3 since 1 January 2025. Points of concern for show judges include signs of breathing difficulty, pinched nostrils, protruding eyes, skin fold dermatitis, a short neck, an exaggerated roach back, an excessively undershot jaw, and tails that are too short, screwed, inverted or tight. Testing lowers risk but cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.
