When it comes to buying a healthy french bulldog puppy medical records of the parents and puppies should be up-to-date at the time of buying the puppy.
Check for any ailments:
Bulldogs are a breed that requires a lot of maintenance, as they have a tendency to have a few health issues. To avoid many trips to the vet, the best thing you can do is choose a puppy whose parents have the least amount of health issues. Make sure that the puppy has been vaccinated, and the breeder provides you with certificates. Due to the difficulty in breeding this dog, most breeders give a guarantee for this dog, and are also at your beck and call regarding any health issue that may arise within the first 72 hours of taking the puppy home. So, check if your breeder offers you the same.
Meet the parents of the puppy you have chosen. See if they are friendly, healthy, check their temperament, and also check if they get along well with each other. It is of utmost importance that the parents of the puppy chosen are in the best of health.
Your puppy and its parents should be certified by the kennel club in your country. Without the ready papers, registration, health certificates, and endorsements, do not buy your puppy.
The next step after inspecting the puppy is that you need to conduct a temperament test. Look for signs of aggression, rebellion, docility, or absolute fear. To do this, you need to see if the puppy will follow you, respond to you, check his behavior when he is being restrained for 30 seconds, how he takes to being carried, etc. If his personality shines through all the tests, without him covering, whimpering, crying, or urinating due to fear, then you know that you have found your right puppy.
Bulldog puppies are expensive; therefore, never buy from a pet shop. Always go to a registered breeder, and make your purchase. Never be hasty, look at many puppies and choose your favorite, which should be healthy and happy. Once you buy your puppy, make sure that you have a vet examine it too.
