🧬 The Process of Breeding a French Bulldog
Why Science, Timing, and Experience Matter
Breeding French Bulldogs is not a casual undertaking — it’s a specialized, science-driven process that requires planning, precision, and professional oversight. Due to their unique anatomy and genetic considerations, Frenchies cannot be bred through natural mating methods like many other breeds. Instead, artificial insemination, hormone testing, and surgical delivery are the gold standards in ethical and successful French Bulldog breeding programs.
01
Heat Cycle Monitoring
We begin tracking the dam’s cycle from the first sign of heat. Timely tracking ensures we don’t miss the fertile window — a crucial factor in successful Frenchie breeding programs.
02
Progesterone Testing in Raleigh & Cary
Our team performs serial progesterone tests using bloodwork to identify ovulation timing with scientific accuracy. This step is essential for determining the ideal breeding window and ensuring your program runs on precision, not guesswork.
03
Semen Collection & Evaluation
We collect semen from our elite, health-tested studs — located in North Carolina and beyond — and perform a full analysis on motility, morphology, and count. Only semen that meets strict standards is used in insemination.
04
Artificial or Surgical Insemination
Depending on semen quality and timing, we use:
-
Artificial Insemination (AI)
-
Transcervical Insemination (TCI)
-
Surgical Insemination (SI) — often used for French Bulldogs in advanced breeding programs.
We partner with trusted veterinary professionals in the Raleigh–Durham region to ensure safe, sterile, and effective procedures.
05
Pregnancy Confirmation
An ultrasound is performed around day 28 to confirm pregnancy and assess viability. We continue to monitor the female for optimal health throughout the gestation period.
06
Scheduled C-Section in North Carolina
Due to their anatomy, nearly all French Bulldogs require a planned cesarean delivery. We schedule surgical whelping between days 61–63 at a certified veterinary clinic in the Raleigh–Cary area to ensure a safe, professional birth experience.
