BlueHaven French Bulldogs

Meet BlueHaven French Bulldogs
We are BlueHaven French Bulldogs (sometimes shown as Blue Haven French Bulldogs), and we specialize in breeding and selling high-quality French Bulldog puppies, i.e., Frenchie puppies. We are very experienced Frenchie breeders whose main goal is to improve the breed through very careful and selective breeding. The French Bulldog is both a dwarf (chondrodystrophic) and a flat-faced (brachycephalic) breed, so indiscriminate breeding can lead to a lot of health issues. This is of particular concern these days, as the popularity of this breed has resulted in a lot of new puppy mills and inexperienced breeders, leading to a lot of poor-quality dogs being introduced into the market. Of course, these new breeders will rarely be around if problems do arise with their puppies.
BlueHaven French Bulldogs is here for the long haul, and we do stand behind our puppies.  BlueHaven is operated by a mother/daughter team, along with our spouses, Bick and Brent, who all have a great love for the French Bulldog. Two sons and their families are also involved in the business.  Lacey is a stay-at-home mom of five (ages 10 to 22) and Donna is a stay-at-home grandmother, who, along with spouses and children/grandchildren, devote endless time and attention to our wonderful Frenchies. It is truly a family affair.
Our families have always had dogs for the love, entertainment, and companionship that they provide – Labs, Golden Retrievers, English and Irish Setters, Cocker Spaniels, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Poodles, Beagles, Dachshunds, and others – and we have loved them all, but, when we were introduced to the French Bulldog, we knew that this would be the last breed of dog we would ever own (except for a few hunting dogs owned by the boys :-).

When we met and purchased our first Frenchie well over a decade ago, the French Bulldog was nowhere to be seen on the list of the most popular dog breeds in the United States.  We fell in love with our little Bryn, and we decided we would breed her in order to obtain a litter of puppies for the family.  Everyone who met our Frenchies fell in love with them, and this led to us starting a hobby breeding business, as people would ask us, “where can I buy a French Bulldog” or “where can I find Frenchies for sale”?  At that time, there were very few reputable Frenchie breeders around, and it was not easy to find a high-quality puppy for a reasonable price.  We decided that we wanted to help change that.
Over the past several years, the French Bulldog (Frenchie) has continued to gain in popularity, steadily climbing up the chart.  In 2021 it climbed to second on the list, behind only the Labrador Retriever.  In 2022, the French Bulldog ousted the Lab from the top spot, where it had resided for decades.  We like to think that responsible breeders, as we believe we are, have helped the French Bulldog gain that status.  High-quality Frenchies definitely deserve to be at the top of the list, as they are the sweetest, funniest, most loveable dogs imaginable.

However, there is a downside to their popularity.  It has brought a lot of backyard breeders and new puppy mills into the market, who are mainly looking to make a quick buck.  They breed whatever dogs they have available, regardless of genetics and suitability for breeding.  As a result, a lot of poor-quality dogs are entering the market, and these upstart breeders are rarely there to deal with any issues.  Even in the best of circumstances, when only high-quality dogs are bred, that have been DNA tested, and are free from any significant health concerns, occasionally a health issue will come up.  If this happens, you want to be working with a reputable Frenchie breeder who will stand behind their puppies, as does BlueHaven French Bulldogs.
