All About The Blue French Bulldog Puppy

Of all of the different types of French bulldogs, the Blue is arguably the most wanted and desired. But, with this comes expense and you’ll have to pay a premium if you really have your heart set on getting a blue french bulldog.

The cost of owning a blue French bulldog is not for the faint of heart… The owner of this particular blue Frenchie discovered that one of her dogs had a neck problem, and although she had purchased her blue French bulldog from as reputable breeder (she has 4 altogether so knows what she is doing) the diagnosis and surgery to rectify the issue set her back almost $10,000. That’s obviously if there is a health issue with your Frenchie (blue, fawn, brindle or Merle etc) which being a Brachycephalic breed is not uncommon.”

These coat colors on “blue dogs” are usually a stable gray coat, devoid of any brindle or white markings, mouse, liver, black and tan, black and white and white with black markings. So these “multi-colored” variations of French Bulldogs are not thoroughbred and you would be unable to “show” them. That doesn’t mean they are not great pets though!

Many owners of these dogs find it difficult to find out about the qualifying colors. And, there has been some debate deciding what the standard for each shade should be. When purchasing a high-quality Frenchie, be certain the breeder has an intensive knowledge of the breed standards regarding coat color.

If you are on the lookout for blue French bulldog puppies, then be prepared for a longer wait. They are more rare and certainly quite difficult to get a pure bred “blue”. That also means you are likely to pay a little more unfortunately. But, they are beautiful dogs!

What About The Wellbeing of Your Blue French Bulldog ?
French Bulldogs do have difficulty in regulating their body temperature. This is because of much shorter nose and how it is situated on the head. They can overheat quickly in hot environments. If this happens and they are not cooled down fairly quickly your puppy can become ill very quickly.

Being a flat-nosed breed, these dogs are not only in danger from heat, they don’t function well in extreme cold either. So, the rule is, keep them cool throughout the summer and make sure they don’t work themselves too much and overheat. And, in the winter, keep them warm and perhaps allow them to exercise a little more vigorously.

Sterilize your French Bulldog. Spaying a female bulldog prior to the initial “heat” helps prevent breast cancer and lessens the opportunity of any uterine infections. Sterilizing male French bulldogs prior to their four month helps to prevent testicular cancer and give ways to a healthy prostate. It also helps combat some of their more unwanted and aggressive habits that can creep in.

Make sure you take your French Bulldog puppy for routine medical examinations and stay fully up to date with all vaccinations. You should also ensure you do a month-to-month home evaluation of the skin, eyes, ears, nose, teeth and gums. Just make sure nothing looks untoward. If you’re unsure check with the vet.

Keep your Frenchies teeth clean. Brush them on a routine basis. Always use anesthesia-free cleaners. Anesthesia can be dangerous to a French Bulldog breeder, due to their respiratory sensitivity. However, due to the generally laid-back attitude, it’s normally quite easy to carry out this task!

What About The Diet and Weight of a Blue French bulldog?

Overweight Frenchies are always likely to suffer from a puffy or bloated abdomen and breathing difficulty (because of their stature). Only feed them top quality, grain-free or organic dog food. You should check they include actual meat and/or veggies. A proper and natural diet will ensure your puppy is not as flatulent as he may be on less natural foodstuffs. Also a raw food diet can work well for young French Bulldogs.


Take your Frenchie for a stroll every day. French Bulldog young puppies are suitable for apartment life because they do tire quickly and don’t like long periods of intense activity. Yes, they do need exercise, but not the long walks and throw and fetch sessions some breeds must have.

Blue French Bulldog Puppy Cleanliness…

Brush your French Bulldog puppy weekly using a rubber brush or rubber grooming hand to make sure all of their loose and dead hair is effectively removed. They don’t shed an awful lot.

Keep your pup clean around the mouth, they do slaver quite a bit so need to be cleaned up regularly.

Bathe your French Bulldog whenever necessary. Typically every two months will be more than enough. Tidy the ears with aid a cotton ball and child oil or else through using ear maid for canines. Keep your Frenchie’s nails cut to a comfy length as well.

Blue French Bulldog Buying Advice…


I know it’s all too easy to just fall in love with the first frenchy you encounter that is for sale. Lets face it – they are adorable! But, and this is important, do make sure you go to a proper breeder and don’t get seduced by local or Internet ads. Such “brokers” will likely have imported the dogs and you will have no come back or guarantees to the health and bloodline.

Once you get your French Bulldog home expect a great pet. But also you must be ready to train your French bulldog properly and that will take time and effort.

They are fun, lively and a joy to be with. But, they can be demanding of your time and attention and do tend to run out of steam fairly quickly. You can buy online these days as well. Online dealers do tend to offer a “pick and mix” type service where you can choose color, features, price even etc. And of course, buying online is super easy.

But again, I say, beware. If an online deal looks too good to be true it probably is. A properly bred and certified French Bulldog Puppy can cost $2,000 and upwards. If you’re offered one for $300 it’s probably a scam. If you do buy online, make sure you complete rigorous checks as to the authenticity of the dealer.

Buying from a breeder is still (in my opinion) infinitely preferable. Indeed most Frenchie owners go on to establish long-term relationships with the breeder they buy from. This is because you can share breeding rights and income from subsequent litters. And of course it is just handy to be able to speak to the breeder for help and advice along the way. It all helps you get the most enjoyment from owning your dog.

How to home train your Blue French Bulldog Puppy

Once your puppy gets old enough you need to start training him or her. You need to impart positive lessons to him so that he or she matures to be a well behave dog that you can proudly walk with on the street or invite your friends over without risking him or her causing injury to them.

Knowing to train a Blue French Bulldog is not an easy mission, particularly when you don’t have any past knowledge about how puppies behave and how they actually think.

It is for this reason that there exists professional dog trainers, who have dedicated their lives to understanding puppy and dog behavior and share the skills and tips they have discovered over time with us making the whole process of knowing how to train a puppy simpler and full of fun.

The first thing you need to do when training your Blue French Bulldog at home is to ensure he or she has been sprayed or sterilized because puppies that have been sprayed or sterilized tend to respond more positively to training than the ones that haven’t. This is because neutering, makes them a little docile and cuts on their aggression.

The other essential thing is to establish the puppies’ private den as early as possible. Get him a place not to be used by family members or other pets.

This is essential for breeds that are known to be territorial. Puppies tend to enjoy their own private time sometimes and providing such space early will aid his development.

Puppy training is very important, whether you are training your first puppy or your 20th. Properly training and socializing a puppy is vital to making it a valued member of your family and your community.

In some ways training a Blue French Bulldog puppy is easier than training an adult or adolescent dog. One reason is that the puppy is essentially a “blank slate”, untroubled by past training techniques and other issues. In other ways, however, the puppy can be more difficult to train than an older dog.

One challenge to training a new Blue French Bulldog puppy is that puppies are more easily distractible than adolescent and adult dogs. Everything is new to a puppy, and every new experience provides a new chance for distraction. For this reason, it is best to keep training sessions short when working with a puppy, and to end each training sessions on a positive note.

It is also important to allow the puppy plenty of time to play, and to interact with other puppies and dogs. Socialization training is vital to making your new Blue French Bulldog puppy a good canine citizen, as dog aggression is a growing problem in many areas. A properly socialized dog learns how to play properly with other dogs, and overly aggressive play is punished by the other dogs in the play group.

This type of play learning is something that happens among siblings in litters of puppies. As the puppies play with each other, they learn what is appropriate and what is not. Inappropriate behavior, such as hard biting or scratching, is punished by the other puppies, by the mother dog, or both.

Unfortunately, many Blue French Bulldog puppies are removed from their mothers and sold or adopted before this socialization has fully occurred. Therefore, puppy play sessions are a very important part of any puppy training session. Most good puppy preschool training programs provide time in each session for this type of dog interaction.

Introducing your Blue French Bulldog puppy to new experiences and new locations is also an important part of puppy training. Teaching your dog to be obedient and responsive, even in the face of many distractions, is very important when training dogs and puppies.

One great way to socialize your puppy both to new people and new dogs is to take it on a trip to your local pet store. Many major pet store chains, and some independent ones as well, allow pet parents to bring their furry children, and these stores can be great places for puppies to get used to new sights, sounds and smells. Of course you will want to make sure the store allows pets before heading over.

It is important for Blue French Bulldog puppy owners to structure their pet’s environment so that the puppy is rewarded for good behaviors and not rewarded for others. One good example of this is jumping on people. Many people inadvertently reward this behavior because it can be cute. While it is true that jumping can be cute for a 10 pound puppy, it will not be so cute when that puppy has grown into a 100 pound dog.

Instead of rewarding the puppy for jumping, try rewarding it for sitting instead. This type of positive reinforcement will result in a well behaved adult dog that is a valued member of both the family and the community at large.

This type of reinforcement can also be used in potty training the new Blue French Bulldog puppy. For instance, teaching a puppy to use a unique surface such as gravel or asphalt is a good technique. The theory is that the puppy will associate this surface with going potty, and therefore be reluctant to use other surfaces (like your kitchen carpet for instance) as a potty.

You also have to determine where in the house can he or she go and where you don’t want him or her to go. Come up with rules you want the Blue French Bulldog puppy to follow when in the house for instance you may decide that you want him to have his own chair and not to climb on other chairs.

If you get the rules right early it will speed up the training process.

Discovering how to train a Blue French Bulldog puppy hood behavior is also very important.
One basic way of encouraging your puppy to behave properly is by rewarding him or her every time he or she behaves well. There are several things you can reward the puppy with these include showing affection, giving gifts, patting on the back, toys and sometimes praising.

Don’t use treats to bribe your puppy only use it as reinforcement for good behavior.

Bribing him or her will give him the notion that he or she must be given what he wants to do something.

You also have to learn how to train him against biting and nipping on people. Human beings have delicate skins and puppies with their sharp teeth can easily cause injury to them.
Training your Blue French Bulldog puppy to appreciate this fact is very crucial.

You and your Blue French Bulldog puppy can have a perfect relationship, just don’t give up on him or her be patient with him or her give him or her correct guidance and sooner he or she will repay your faith and patience. He will grow into a lovely part of the family.
