I'm Courtney H., the breeder behind BuschBabyBulldogs located in Bolivar, MO. We fell in love with French Bulldogs as pet owners, not breeders. Their sweet, loyal, and playful nature inspired us to help preserve this amazing breed by raising healthy, well-socialized, and even-tempered puppies ready to become cherished family companions.
Q. & A. with Courtney
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding after falling completely in love with our own French Bulldogs. Their sweet, silly personalities brought so much joy to our home that we wanted to help preserve the breed and raise puppies who bring that same happiness to other families.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in a loving family environment where they’re surrounded by kids, other dogs, and everyday life from the start. We focus on producing healthy, well-socialized, even-tempered Frenchies who are ready to fit right into their forever families.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle, cream, blue fawn, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
