Introducing our new stud man Stanley
super excited to introduce him.
Stanley is single copy DVL2 & CDDY (CFA12) the gene linked with early onset of IVDD.
He is a super chill dude with such a loving nature, he has slotted into our family so well.
This guy will have X-ray scoring once he’s a year old and respiratory function grading done. He’s already had is embark DNA test back ☺️
He also carries a rainbow of colours including Rojo 🍫 can’t wait to see what he will produce.

Massive thank you to Kat from Maple Beach Frenchies for entrusting me with your gorgeous wee man.
He is a pleasure and so easy going🥰

This post is from our friends Chaleureux French Bulldogs.
We are excited to say we are now starting to eliminate this gene now as well as the DVL2 gene.

IVDD -2 causes, genetic and environmental

Back disease is one of the most heartbreaking things a Frenchie family can face. A dog that was running and playing, suddenly unable to walk. Surgery, recovery, uncertainty — and in the worst cases, no recovery at all.

At Chaleureux we've been quietly working on this for the last few years. Several of our dogs are already single copy for CDDY, and this year we have two planned breedings that will produce puppies clear of CDDY entirely — and potentially single copy for DVL2 as well.
This isn't a trend for us. It's been a deliberate, research-driven commitment to breeding Frenchies with bodies that don't cause them to suffer.
If you've ever looked at a DNA result and wondered what CDDY actually means — or why it matters that your breeder is testing for it — this infogram is for you
Health First Always. 🤍

Wow what an emotional week. Minx had her beautiful lil singleton on Tues last week. The little petal was born with a cleft lip, she was not the best feeder and Minx’s milks taken forever to properly come. Up every 2-3 hours night & day to get this little one going. Today she lost the fight and sadly crossed the rainbow bridge. Rest in peace little Petal 😢🪽🌈

He’s a great little clip on RFG testing. We do this with all our dogs, along side with the X-ray scoring & DNA.

I’m so excited this super exciting match happened yesterday.
Our start of the CDDY elimination journey. This gene is linked to the early onset of IVDD. Will do another post with information on this gene shortly.
