Connie G.

Breeder of French Bulldogs

Meet the breeder

I'm Connie G., the breeder behind SandRiver Kennel located in Tucson, AZ. All my breeding’s are with CHIC health testing and a total DNA panels done. I will never breed a dog without this.

Q. & A. with Connie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    To better the breed. I saw dogs with incorrect temperament being used as breeders and this is a hereditary condition. I also saw dogs with terrible conformation being used as breeders for only the profit. it was the natural progression of my passion with dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    I don’t breed anything without all the health testing done and passed. My breeding dogs all have their CHIC numbers and complete DNA panels done and also passed. My dogs are usually AKC champions. I stress that if for any reason they can’t keep them, they come back to me.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

SandRiver Kennel 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.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    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.

  • 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.

  • Spine (OFA, FCI)

    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.

  • 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).
