Why DNA Testing Matters for Frenchies

French Bulldogs carry unique genetic markers that influence everything from their iconic coat colors to critical health risks. Understanding these genes helps you breed responsibly.

Predict Colors

Know the odds of producing blue, lilac, cream, merle, and other rare Frenchie colors before pairing.

Avoid Health Risks

Screen for DM, HUU, JHC, and CMR1 to prevent producing affected puppies with serious conditions.

Ethical Pairing

Avoid dangerous combos like double merles or two carriers of the same health gene.

Buyer Confidence

Give puppy buyers accurate genetic predictions and health clearances backed by science.

How the DNA Calculator Works

A simple guide to understanding your results before you start

One Copy From Each Parent

When you breed two dogs, every puppy receives one gene copy from the mother and one from the father for every trait — color, pattern, hair type, and health.

Odds for Every Puppy

The percentages show the probability for each individual puppy. Every pup in the litter has the same odds — but nature is random, so each puppy can land on a different outcome.

Plan Smarter, Breed Better

Use these projections to predict colors and patterns, avoid risky health pairings, and make ethical breeding decisions that protect your dogs and their future puppies.

What the Results Mean

Non-Carrier

Two dominant genes. The puppy won't show or carry that trait.

Carrier

One dominant + one recessive. Won't show it, but can pass it on.

Affected

Two recessive genes. The puppy will show or express that trait.

Example:

If your result says 25% affected, 50% carrier, 25% non-carrier, that means every single puppy has a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being a carrier, and a 25% chance of being clear. Nature doesn't promise exact numbers per litter — it only promises these odds for each pup.
