WARNING - NEVER NEVER BUY A PUPPY WITHOUT SEEING IT WITH ITS MOTHER.
A puppy which has not been born in the UK must be at least 16 weeks old before it can legally come to the UK with a Pet Passport.
Younger puppies will not be properly vaccinated against RABIES, so you and your family may be at risk

IMPORTANT Please read this advice before buying a French Bulldog puppy
If possible buy a puppy from parents that have been health tested and hold the French Bulldog Health Scheme 'Bronze' and preferably 'Silver' Certificate. The puppy should also have been checked by a vet and have had its first vaccination before you buy it. Ask to see the documentation.
Probably the WORST possible way to purchase your puppy is through a Pet Shop, a Puppy Farm, Internet Sales websites, a Puppy Broker or from one of the Free Newspapers.
Most reputable breeders do not advertise, they strive to produce good health, good temperament, and good conformation. They usually have a waiting list for their puppies. This is the kind of breeder who has very likely put a great deal of time and effort into breeding and raising quality French Bulldogs and will want to give them the very best of homes. It's best to more interested in good temperament, healthy long-lived lines, and sound structure, rather than what colour your would like your puppy to be, however whichever colour you choose it must comply to the Breed Standard. There is no such thing as "rare" colours in the French Bulldog. If a Frenchies coat colour is anything other than the colours given in the Breed Standard then it has an undesirable coat colour which is not recognised as typical of this breed. There may be underlying health issues in these undesirable colours which we know nothing about, especially in all types of blue, mouse, chocolate, liver and black & tan colours.

BEWARE OF PUPPY BROKERS AND DEALERS
These are people who import litters of puppies in bulk from abroad (usually Eastern European countries ), sometimes they are imported legitimately and sometimes not ( smuggled in ).
Brokers and dealers always advertise on the internet and in the free papers. If you see advertisements saying that the puppy has a ' Pet Passport' beware because the puppy will have been bred abroad. The puppy should be at least 15 weeks old to comply with the legal requirements for importation. Many have forged passports... beware. They may not have had the correct vaccinations,including the vaccination for Rabies which should only be given once the puppy is 12 weeks of age, they may have heath issues, they would have travelled many many hours in the back of a van in cramped conditions along with lots of other puppies, so there is a greater risk of them catching something.
You will not be able to see the parents or what conditions the puppy was reared in.
A puppy from a puppy broker will have a pedigree full of foreign named dogs who have been bred and registered in another country.
Puppy brokers will re-register the imported puppies with the UK Kennel Club in order that the pups have a UK Registration Document.
Many puppy brokers come across as really nice caring people but will make all sorts of plausible excuses why you cannot see the mother, beware, this type of seller has only one interest in mind, to make as big a profit as they can for themselves sadly at the expense of a helpless puppy.
IF SOMEONE SAYS THEY CAN GET YOU WHAT EVER COLOUR OR SEX OF PUPPY THAT YOU WANT, THEN THEY ARE ALMOST CERTAINLY A PUPPY BROKER OR DEALER.
Remember that your decision to acquire a French Bulldog from a particular breeder will affect you (and your French Bulldog) for the next 1 to 14 years.
