Breeding French Bulldogs is definitely no walk in the park. Because of their short legs and narrow hips, Frenchies are a bit clumsy when it comes to mating so the females need to be artificially inseminated, which can be a costly procedure. Costly progesterone tests must be performed to confirm when Mom is ready to be inseminated, then again near birth to make sure the pups are ready for delivery. Ultrasounds and x-rays must also be performed to confirm pregnancy & to determine when the litter is ready for delivery. Costly health & genetic test must also be performed on both parents to ensure the healthiest pups.
Frenchie mom's have narrow hips & the pups’ have big heads so they need to be delivered via C-section. Although this is the safest way for both mom and the pups, it can cost $1200-$10,000 if things don't go as planned. After the surgery, the mother needs some time to heal so it is our sole responsibility to care for the pups in theri first few weeks. They need to be fed every three hours and supervised constantly (I slept in the whelping room the first 4 weeks of this litter); they cannot be left alone with their mom as she might accidentally roll over and smother them. As you can imagine, this kind of full-time care is time-consuming and expensive.
As the puppies get bigger and stronger, they need to be regularly checked by a vet to make sure they are developing well and to administer the necessary shots, dewormers, anti-parasite treatment and microchipping. Health screenings like echocardiograms also need to be performed to ensure the pups are as healthy as possible when they join their new owners. Needless to say, these examinations also come at a cost.
