Parents & puppiesAirway and Breathing
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.
Parents & puppiesSpine and Back Health
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.
Parents & puppiesHips and Knees
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.
Parents & puppiesEye Health
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.
PuppiesSkin Folds and Care
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.
ParentsParent Health Records
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.
PuppiesVet Exam
Before a Frenchie leaves for Nevada, a licensed vet gives it a complete exam with the breed's trouble spots in focus: nostril width, breathing at rest and after a few minutes of play, the spine, hips and knees, and the skin folds. The vet issues the certificate of veterinary inspection Nevada requires for dogs entering the state, and the exam notes, breathing included, go into the puppy's digital records for your Las Vegas, Henderson, or Reno vet.
PuppiesShots, Deworming, Microchip
The puppy arrives with every core vaccine due for its age and a deworming history that began in the whelping box. Your Nevada vet finishes the series, including the rabies shot your county requires before a license, and should talk with you about Valley fever, the fungal infection in desert soil that any Southern Nevada dog can pick up and that hits a short airway harder; keep the puppy off freshly disturbed dirt and watch for a cough. Ask about a nose balm for the dry air and about keeping the puppy lean, because extra weight narrows a Frenchie's airway, and in this climate that margin matters. The microchip is already in before travel, and moving it to your name is part of the handoff.
