Why Breeding Standard French Bulldogs Could Be the Smartest Move You’ll Ever Make





Are you tired of hearing that standard French Bulldogs are "basic" or "old news"? You're not alone. In a world obsessed with micro and exotic breeds, it’s easy to feel like you’re swimming against the tide. But here’s the thing: there’s power in going against the grain, and I’m here to tell you why breeding and studding standard French Bulldogs could be the most lucrative and fulfilling move you’ll ever make.



The Shocking Truth About the Breeding World: What They Don’t Want You to Know


When I first dipped my toes into the French Bulldog breeding world, I had no idea what I was getting into. Terms like “standard,” “micro,” and “exotic” were thrown around like confetti at a parade, and it seemed like everyone had an opinion on what was "in" and what was "out." But as I dug deeper, I realized something: the standard French Bulldog, with its classic, time-tested traits, was being unfairly dismissed.


Why? Because the trend was shifting towards smaller, more exotic dogs. But here’s the kicker—just because something is trendy doesn’t mean it’s the only path to success. Breeding standard French Bulldogs isn’t just okay; it’s a smart, strategic move that could set you apart in a crowded market.



From Zero to Hero: How My Standard Stud Sired Over 20 Litters (And Counting)


Let’s talk about Zero, my standard French Bulldog who’s been labeled everything from “basic” to “boring.” Guess what? Zero has sired over 20 litters, and he’s still going strong. It’s all about how you market your dog and, more importantly, who you market him to.


While some breeders chase the high-dollar, one-time stud services, I’ve taken a different approach. I’d rather be the Walmart of the breeding world than the Gucci store. Why? Because serving the masses means more consistent income, repeat customers, and long-term success. And believe me, those clients who start small often come back for more—whether it’s another pup, a stud service, or even a custom chain or website.




The Dirty Secret of the Dog Community: Why Your Standard Bulldog is More Valuable Than You Think


Here’s the dirty secret they don’t tell you in the dog community: the so-called “standard” breeders are the backbone of the industry. While everyone’s chasing the latest trend, it’s the standard dogs that bring in serious revenue and keep the market stable.


Exotic and micro variations cater to a niche market that values rarity and exclusivity. These dogs are often seen as status symbols, attracting a small group of enthusiasts willing to pay top dollar for something unique. However, these breeds aren’t for everyone—they require specialized care and often come with higher price tags.


In contrast, the standard French Bulldog has a far broader appeal. Loved by everyday people and families, these dogs are the perfect companions for a wide range of lifestyles. Whether it’s a single professional, a busy family, or an older couple, the standard French Bulldog fits right in, providing loyal companionship without the complications of niche breeds.


So, while the community may glamorize the latest trends, never underestimate the power of the standard French Bulldog. These dogs are the unsung heroes, offering love and stability to families everywhere.



Why Kindness and Hustle Will Always Beat Hype


In an industry filled with egos and competition, there’s one thing that will always set you apart: how you treat people. Whether it’s the window shopper, the person with 21 questions, the first-time breeder, and yes even the "let me ask my wife" guy showing kindness and building positive relationships is what will ultimately determine your success.


It costs $0 to be nice, but the return on that investment is priceless. The connections you build today could lead to unexpected opportunities tomorrow. And let’s not forget—those relationships could be the key to your long-term success in this industry.



The Heartfelt Truth: We’re All in This for the Love of Dogs


At the end of the day, we’re all here because we love our dogs. This community was born from a shared passion for these incredible animals, and yes, things have gotten a little messy. Unfortunately, the dogs have sometimes suffered the consequences. But let’s not forget why we started—our love for these dogs.


So, who’s ready to book a stud service with Keep It Kennels? I’ll be honest: my target market is first-time breeders and families looking for a new loving member to share life with. And that’s something I am NOT ashamed of. One of the most fulfilling parts of this industry is seeing my puppies go to loving homes and the joy they bring to those families.


Maybe one of my puppies is helping someone through a tough time. Maybe another is giving comfort to a young girl going through a breakup or helping an ex-con get his life back on track. I know my dogs bring me unconditional love and companionship, and I wouldn’t have them if it weren’t for a breeder like you.



Why Standard Dogs Are the Unsung Heroes of the Breeding World


Let’s be real—standard dogs are a critical part of our dog economy. They bring in serious revenue and play a vital role in keeping the industry thriving. Remember when you got your first dog and how your vision evolved over time? Don’t take that experience away from someone new who’s just getting started.


Embrace the journey, love your dogs, and let’s keep building a community that values every breeder’s unique vision. After all, success isn’t about following the latest trend; it’s about staying true to yourself, your dogs, and the people who believe in you.
