French Bulldog FAQ: Answers for Future Puppy Families
French Bulldog FAQ: Reservations & Booking
Our French Bulldog FAQ answers common questions about reservations, health testing, puppy care, pricing, delivery, and what to expect when welcoming a Blue Buddha Frenchie into your family.
What health testing do your French Bulldog parents receive?
Every Blue Buddha breeding parent receives a veterinarian-performed physical evaluation of the hips and patellas, BOAS assessment, and targeted DNA screening for Cystinuria Types 2 and 3, HUU, JHC, and CMR1. These evaluations help guide thoughtful breeding decisions, but no health screening can guarantee that a dog or puppy will never develop a medical condition.
How are your French Bulldog puppies socialized?
Our family of eight raises every puppy in our home with daily handling, household sounds, music, play, and constant human interaction. Every Blue Buddha puppy is also litter box trained before leaving, giving families an established indoor potty routine to help ease the transition home.
Do you offer nationwide puppy delivery?
We provide premium nationwide transport using professional in-cabin nannies. Your puppy travels in the climate-controlled aircraft cabin with personal supervision and care throughout the journey, never in cargo.
How much does a Blue Buddha Frenchie cost?
Puppies start at $4,500. Please note that final pricing varies based on each puppy's specific color and DNA. A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is required.
What is included when my Blue Buddha puppy goes home?
Every Blue Buddha puppy goes home vet-checked, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, with complete health records and our written 12-month health guarantee. Families also receive ongoing breeder guidance and support throughout their Frenchie’s life.
Will I receive updates while my puppy is growing?
Yes. Blue Buddha families receive photos, videos, and regular updates from birth through go-home day. Our live puppy camera also gives families another opportunity to watch the nursery and follow their puppy’s early growth and development.
Is financing available for a Blue Buddha Frenchie?
Financing may be available through Terrace Finance. All financing is provided by independent third-party lenders and is subject to their approval, terms, and payment agreements. Visit our How to Reserve page to access the financing application.
How does Blue Buddha help families choose the right puppy?
We consider more than color or appearance when helping families choose a puppy. We ask about your household, lifestyle, preferences, and the qualities you hope to find in a companion, then share what we observe about each puppy’s developing personality and temperament. Our goal is to help create a thoughtful, lasting match rather than rush a family into choosing the first available puppy.
Is the reservation deposit an extra fee?
No. The $1,000 non-refundable reservation deposit holds your place and comes off the final purchase price.
Why does the price vary from puppy to puppy?
Blue Buddha puppies start at $4,500. Final pricing depends on the individual puppy’s color and DNA, so a blue or a fluffy will not be priced the same as a fawn.
When do I choose my puppy, and when can my puppy come home?
Families choose their puppies at the four-week mark. Puppies go home at eight weeks, after a health screening from our veterinarian.
What if you do not have a puppy available right now?
Sometimes the right puppy is available immediately. Sometimes the right match means waiting for an upcoming litter. Our Available Puppies page shows the pairings we are currently taking deposits on, and our Litter Announcements list sends new litters and open reservation spots to your inbox. Joining the list is free and does not hold a puppy.
What colors and coats do you produce?
Our dogs can produce traditional colors including black, brindle, fawn and red fawn, cream, and pied, as well as specialty colors including blue, lilac, chocolate, rojo, isabella, and new shade, with tan-point versions of several. We also produce long-haired (fluffy) French Bulldogs. Colors and coat types are determined by genetics, and no specific color or coat can be guaranteed in every litter.
Are your puppies raised in a kennel?
No. Every Blue Buddha puppy is raised in our home. By go-home day they have had daily handling from birth, normal household sounds, meals on a schedule, and time with littermates and adult dogs.
Can I see the parents?
Yes. You can meet our girls and our studs on the Our Frenchies and Stud Service pages, and families can follow the nursery on our live puppy camera. We would rather show than tell.
Can I pick up my puppy in person?
Yes. Families near us collect their puppy in Knoxville, Tennessee. Families farther away can use our nationwide in-cabin puppy nanny delivery.
Will my puppy fly in cargo?
No. For nationwide delivery, your puppy travels in the aircraft passenger cabin with a professional puppy nanny who stays responsible for the puppy for the whole trip and hands the puppy to you personally. No form of travel is free of risk, and we plan each trip around the actual puppy and route.
What does the health guarantee cover?
Every Blue Buddha puppy is backed by our written 12-month health guarantee. Coverage, exclusions, and claim requirements are set out in the purchase agreement, so you can read them before you commit.
What should I have ready before my puppy comes home?
Set up before go-home day, not after. Choose a quiet space with a crate or pen, a bed, water, and the litter box. Puppy-proof at floor level. Have the same food your puppy has been eating, and book a visit with your veterinarian for the first few days. Keep the space cool, because French Bulldogs overheat easily.
What food do you feed your puppies?
Blue Buddha puppies are raised on Life’s Abundance. See what we feed and where to order it.
