For years, Chaleureux French Bulldogs has been focused on one thing above all else: **healthier breeding through better information and better decisions**.

That’s why I’m pleased to share **PairIQ**, a brand new breeding platform bringing something genuinely different to breeders and puppy buyers.

PairIQ brings health testing, genetics, pedigree and breeding decisions together in one clear Pairing Report, alongside free breeder tools including a coat colour calculator with realistic photo images not cartoon coloured dogs, record keeping, breeder profiles and a marketplaces for puppy buyers and breeders looking for stud services and a mains puppy to join their program.

For breeders, it’s a clearer way to show the work behind a pairing.
For puppy buyers, it’s a better way to understand what sits behind a litter.

Koa and Hugo babies are earthside. Koa is doing an amazing job as a first time mum and the puppies are all healthy and thriving.

DVL2 is turning out to be more than a “screw-tail gene”.
A 2026 study found a strong association between DVL2 and cleft palate.
In one subgroup of 27 affected American Staffordshire Terriers and their mixes:
- 19 had 2 copies
- 6 had 1 copy
- 2 had 0 copies
Among 15 unaffected controls:
- 0 had 2 copies
- 4 had 1 copy
- 11 had 0 copies
This does not mean two copies automatically cause a cleft. Cleft palate is multifactorial, with genetic, environmental and nutritional factors all able to contribute.
A 2025 French Bulldog study also found congenital heart abnormalities in all five puppies examined with severe hydrops, and two of those same puppies had cleft palate. They were not DVL2 tested, so the heart link remains unproven.
For us at Chaleureux, this supports our aim of gradually reducing DVL2 copy number while still breeding for the whole dog, with every DNA result read alongside health, structure and temperament.

We’re very excited to announce our upcoming Hugo × Koa litter. This is a collaborative breeding between Chaleureux French Bulldogs and our very good friends at Little Frenchies on the Prairie. 🖤🤎

With Hugo RFG 0 and Koa RFG 1, and some puppies being single copy DVL2 and / or single copy CDDY (IVDD) this pairing has been planned with health, structure and temperament firmly in mind.

We’re expecting a beautiful mix of solids, tan points and pied in rojo, cocoa and black.

Puppies due 12th October 2026. 🐾

Full health testing and DNA results are available on request.

Well… I think Enzo’s settled in just fine. 😂🤎
First night in his new home and already snuggled up with his new fur family by the fire🐾❤️

And just like that, our gorgeous little Enzo has flown the coop. 🐾 🏡

This beautiful lilac & tan boy from Billie × Hugo is single-copy DVL2, with CDDY pending, and has headed off to his new home with Aunty Pearl (Billie’s sister) and her wonderful pawrents. 🥹

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect family for him. Go well, little man. 💙

Already spoken for and it’s easy to see why 🐾
These two gorgeous little single copy DVL2 Chaleureux babies have completely stolen their forever families hearts 💕 Enzo is on the left and the little girl on the right still doesnt have a name, what would you call her?

Something exciting may be brewing… 🌼🐾

Still too early to call, but we’re quietly hopeful. 🤞✨
