Meet the breeder

I'm Denise M., the breeder behind Az K9 Companions located in Chandler, AZ. We strive to produce highly trainable, healthy puppies that can excel as service/therapy dogs, working dogs, and as companions. We complete panels of breed-appropriate testing including DNA health checks on parents. Pups are raised in an environment best suited to bring out attributes sought after in service/therapy dogs. Pups are placed not only in service/therapy homes but offered as your new best friend or family member.

Az K9 Companions reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for French Bulldogs.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
