Inclusive Advocacy for French Bulldogs
The French Bulldog Foundation of America (FBDFA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the health, welfare, and longevity of French Bulldogs through scientific research, public education, and advocacy for ethical breeding and ownership practices.
With an estimated 99% of all French Bulldog litters bred by a non-FBDCA member (reported by OFA through AKC in 2023), the most popular breed for the third consecutive year is purposefully unrepresented and unsupported by a Parent Club.
This breed is "Rogue".
So what can we do? Go back to basics and assess what UNITES us as a community that cares about the longevity and health of this breed as a whole: It is about the DOGS... not the leash holders...
Our mission emphasizes functional, healthy conformation and inclusivity for all French Bulldogs, regardless of non-breed standard colors or traits. We support the AKC Code of Sportsmanship, encourage participation in activities such as performance, agility, and functional conformation events, and promote ethical breeders who conduct verifiable health testing in accordance with or exceeding Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommendations.
Through our transparent Verified Breeder List & Verified OFA Normal programs, funding for breed-specific genetic studies, and grants for health-related initiatives, we aim to improve the overall well-being of the breed while addressing gaps in representation and guidance for the majority of French Bulldog litters produced outside traditional club frameworks.
