FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO LOUISIANA
New Orleans is the most humid big city in America, and it's full of French Bulldogs anyway, because the breed is a natural for a shotgun house with a porch and a window unit. HonestPet connects Louisiana families with vetted breeders who raise Frenchie litters at home and screen the parents for the breathing and spine issues the breed carries. Every puppy arrives vet-checked and microchipped, and ground delivery is free to any Louisiana address, Uptown to Lafayette to Shreveport.
Health-screened parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to Louisiana.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
Our breeders raise French Bulldogs in the family room, where the litter learns a screen door, a brass band on the TV, and a kid's bike dropped in the hall before it ever leaves. A Frenchie that grew up in a home instead of a kennel building settles into an Uptown shotgun, a Mandeville two-story, or a Lafayette ranch house the first evening, not the third week.
Our breeders begin Early Neurological Stimulation when puppies are three days old and follow Puppy Culture practices until they’re ready to join their new families. Short, gentle daily handling helps puppies become more comfortable with new experiences as they grow.
Each puppy’s listing identifies the DNA testing status of both mom and dad. Ask to review available parent health records, including any breathing, spine, hip, and knee assessments; screening coverage varies by parent.
We'll point you to the puppy that breathes easiest, which in Louisiana's humidity is the most important thing we can tell you about a French Bulldog, and to the temperament that fits your home. The calmest pup for a couple in a Garden District apartment, the sturdier one for a Baton Rouge family with kids who'll have it at every crawfish boil, in the shade, far from the pot.
Every puppy comes with a 10-year genetic health guarantee and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Message our Care360 Team at 10 weeks or 10 years. We stay in touch with our families for the life of the dog.
STATEWIDE DELIVERY
Every French Bulldog we place was raised in a vetted breeder's home; no pet store or broker is ever in the chain. Louisiana families choose free ground delivery to the door or a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin into MSY, Baton Rouge, or a regional airport. Flat-faced breeds can't go in cargo, so cabin is the only flight we book, and from April through October every Louisiana handoff is set for the cool of the morning.

ABOUT THE BREED
A French Bulldog is a stocky 20 to 28 pounds with bat ears, a wrinkled face, and a sense of humor, and it wants a short walk, a long nap, and a porch to watch the street from, which is why it fits a New Orleans shotgun so well. The hard part is the air. Louisiana is wetter and more humid than any other state the breed is popular in, and a flat face simply can't cool a dog when the air is already saturated, so from April to October a Louisiana Frenchie lives in air conditioning, walks in the dark, and sits out the parade routes, which are too hot, too loud, and too crowded for a brachycephalic dog.
Our Frenchies grow to 20 to 28 pounds. That's under the pet cap in most Warehouse District and CBD buildings, fits the carrier you'll want for a hurricane evacuation, and is light enough to carry up the steps of a raised house, which you'll do while the puppy is growing and on any day the stoop is too hot to touch.
French Bulldogs have short, smooth coats and do shed. Regular brushing helps manage loose hair, and their skin folds need gentle cleaning and drying. They are not a hypoallergenic breed.
Frenchies are playful and affectionate. Supervise interactions with children, teach gentle handling, and give your puppy a quiet place to rest. Keep play short and cool rather than encouraging rough play or long chases.
A Frenchie can be clever and independent. Use short sessions, rewards, and consistent potty routines to build good habits. Our lifetime training support helps you work through puppy manners without harsh methods.
A Frenchie asks for two short walks and a little indoor play, nothing more. In a Louisiana summer, that means before seven and after dark, ten minutes at a time, home at the first heavy pant, and Audubon Park only in the cool months. On Lake Pontchartrain, the bayous, or a camp on the water, a life vest goes on before the puppy is near the edge, because French Bulldogs cannot swim and Louisiana water has alligators in it.
French Bulldogs enjoy being near their people. Build up time alone gradually, and arrange company and potty breaks when you will be away for long stretches. An air-conditioned home and a predictable routine help them stay comfortable.

Your puppy arrives as early as 8 weeks old with their digital records, a starter bag of food, and a blanket that smells like their littermates.
GETTING YOUR PUPPY HOME
Most Louisiana families take free ground delivery straight to the door, and in summer our drivers run the last leg before dawn so a flat-faced puppy never meets the afternoon. If you'd rather fly, a flight nanny carries your Frenchie in the cabin to one of five Louisiana airports; cargo isn't allowed for French Bulldogs, and we wouldn't use it regardless. Either way, we set the date with you and send updates until the puppy is on your porch.
Ground delivery is what we recommend for a Frenchie, and the Louisiana run is planned around the humidity: cooled vehicle the whole way, a shaded and ventilated crate, brief stops, and a handoff in the early morning from April through October. Most puppies sleep from the breeder's driveway to your porch and never see an airport.
Prefer to meet your puppy before it travels? When the breeder's location and schedule allow, HonestPet can arrange an in-person visit before your Frenchie heads to Louisiana.
A flat $799 to any Louisiana airport we serve. Your Frenchie flies in a ventilated soft carrier at the nanny's feet in the cabin, the only way this breed is allowed to fly, and the nanny books a nonstop into MSY whenever one exists so a brachycephalic puppy isn't sitting through a layover. It also sidesteps the summer heat embargo that grounds checked pets in New Orleans. The nanny walks out at arrivals and hands you the puppy.

HEALTH FIRST
French Bulldogs need particular attention to breathing, heat tolerance, and spine and joint health. Parent screening and available records vary by dog; ask to review the findings for the parents of the puppy you are considering. A DNA test or veterinary exam is not a guarantee against future breathing or mobility problems, and your vet can help plan ongoing care.
Flat-faced dogs can have narrowed nostrils and other airway problems. Ask what breathing assessments are available for the parents, and discuss your puppy's breathing with your vet. Snoring and poor exercise tolerance deserve attention rather than being dismissed as normal.
Ask about the parents' spine-health history and any available veterinary findings. French Bulldogs can develop spinal problems; keeping them lean and using ramps instead of repeated jumps can help with daily care, but does not eliminate the risk.
Review any available hip and knee assessments for the parents with our team. Your vet can check your puppy's gait and joints and advise on suitable exercise. Do not assume every parent has had the same examinations.
Ask which parent eye examinations or genetic results are available. Frenchies' prominent eyes need care; contact your vet about redness, squinting, or discharge, and protect the eyes during play.
Discuss skin-fold cleaning and any signs of irritation with your vet. Keep folds clean and dry, watch for itching or redness, and ask for guidance before using skin products. Short coats still need regular brushing.
Each puppy’s listing identifies the DNA testing status of both mom and dad. Ask to review available parent health and genetic records before reserving. Genetic results do not replace a clinical assessment of breathing, spine, or joint health.
Before a Frenchie leaves for Louisiana, a licensed vet gives it a complete exam with the breed's trouble spots in focus: how open the nostrils are, breathing at rest and after a few minutes of play, the spine, the hips and knees, and the skin folds. The vet issues the certificate of veterinary inspection Louisiana requires for dogs entering the state, and the exam notes go into the puppy's digital records for your New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or Lafayette vet.
Core vaccines are complete for the puppy's age, and deworming has run on a schedule since week two. Your Louisiana vet finishes the series, including the rabies shot state law requires for every dog, and should start heartworm prevention at the very first visit, because Louisiana has the highest heartworm rate in the country and a Frenchie's airway can't afford it. Ask about fold care in a climate where a Frenchie's face never fully dries, and about keeping the puppy lean, since weight is a breathing issue in this breed. The microchip goes in before departure, and we help transfer it to your name.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Prices vary by puppy. See each available puppy’s listing for the current price, and ask our team to explain the total before reserving. Every puppy comes with a vet exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, digital records, lifetime training and support, and free ground delivery to your home.
Yes. Most Louisiana families take free ground delivery to the door, driven in the cool hours in summer so a Frenchie never meets the heat. In-cabin flight nanny delivery is also available into New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Shreveport, depending on route and availability, with the puppy at the nanny's feet in the cabin. We never fly a French Bulldog as cargo.
Yes. French Bulldogs have short, smooth coats that shed, and they are not hypoallergenic. Regular brushing helps manage loose hair. If allergies are a concern, discuss the individual puppy with our team before deciding.
Our French Bulldogs typically finish between 20 and 28 pounds. Review the individual puppy’s estimated adult size and parent information with our team, and check your building's pet policy before reserving.
Your puppy comes home with a starter bag of food, a blanket that smells like their littermates, a toy, microchip details, and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Pick an available puppy then send us an inquiry. After we talk, review the current reservation amount for your puppy before placing your deposit. The deposit goes toward the total price, and the balance is due before go-home day.
Parent testing varies by breeder and by dog. Review the available DNA testing status and health records for the puppy’s mom and dad with our team, including any breathing, spine, hip, and knee assessments. Every puppy receives a veterinary exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip before going home. Your vet can help plan ongoing French Bulldog care; screening does not guarantee freedom from future health problems.
Each breeder may have a different preferred puppy food, so we provide the specific brand and formula your puppy is currently eating to help make the transition to your home as smooth as possible. If you decide to switch foods, we recommend transitioning gradually to help avoid digestive upset.
Our puppies go home at 8 weeks old.

THE JOURNEY HOME
Free door-to-door ground delivery, timed around the heat, is how most of our Louisiana French Bulldogs arrive. If you'd prefer to fly, the flight nanny brings the puppy in the cabin to one of five Louisiana airports, carrier at their feet in cabin air the entire way.

LOUISIANA QUESTIONS
Humidity, raised houses, parade season, hurricane plans, parish licenses, and how delivery works: what Louisiana Frenchie families ask us most.
Louisiana has no statewide ban, so a few stores still sell French Bulldogs, shipped in from large out-of-state kennels where nobody evaluated the parents' breathing, and priced high because Frenchies are the most profitable puppy those kennels produce. A store can't show you the mother or the home. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect Louisiana families directly with vetted breeders who raise Frenchies at home, share the parents' screening, and deliver to your door.
Yes, and the city is full of them. A Frenchie rarely barks, needs very little exercise, and is content in a Garden District apartment or a Bywater shotgun as long as the air conditioning runs, which in New Orleans is non-negotiable from April through October. Two local notes: carry the puppy up and down the steps of a raised house until it's grown to protect its spine, and leave the dog home on parade days, because heat, crowds, and noise are a bad mix for a brachycephalic breed. Keep a carrier ready for hurricane season.
It depends on the parish. Louisiana has no statewide license, but Jefferson Parish, East Baton Rouge Parish, and a number of other parishes and cities require an annual one once your Frenchie has a current rabies certificate, which state law requires for every dog. Your parish animal control page has the fees and renewal dates.
After you reserve, HonestPet coordinates the trip from the breeder's home to yours in Louisiana around the heat. The puppy gets a final vet exam with breathing checked at rest and after play, then rides in a climate-controlled delivery vehicle, with the last leg driven in the cool hours, or in the cabin with a flight nanny on a nonstop, never in cargo. You'll know the schedule in advance and hear from us at each step.
Typically 2 to 3 hours, and the nanny books a nonstop into MSY whenever one exists so a brachycephalic puppy isn't sitting through a layover. For the whole flight the puppy is in a ventilated carrier at the nanny's feet in the cabin. The hold is never an option for a French Bulldog, which also means the summer embargo on checked pets never applies.
Sometimes. When the breeder's location and schedule make it workable, HonestPet can arrange a visit so you meet the puppy and the parents and hear the adults breathe after they've been running around. Our breeders live in several states and keep their addresses private, so each visit is arranged separately rather than offered as drop-in hours.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to Louisiana, or which French Bulldog would suit your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet your puppy before you decide.
