How Much is a White French Bulldog?
Owning a white French Bulldog is no joke, of course, and the cost of a white French Bulldog depends on the pedigree, age, and whether or not they are already housebroken. The average price for a White French Bulldog in the US can start from $1800 to as much as $3000. The cost will be lower if you’re looking to adopt an older white French Bulldog. Sometimes, the white Frenchie could go higher than the $3,000 average and as high as $4,000 to almost $6,000.
Are White French Bulldogs Rare?
The white French Bulldog is a rare breed. It is more common to find a blue, fawn, or red French Bulldog than its white counterpart. There are not so many white French Bulldogs because they are born with the same color as their mother’s coat. The more dominant color in the mother’s genes will match the pup’s color. This means a blue-eyed mother has a greater chance of having a blue-eyed puppy than one with brown eyes.
What is the Rarest Color of the French Bulldog?
The rarest color of the French Bulldog is the blue merle, alongside other coat colors such as Isabella, pure black, blue and tan, blue, lilac, merle, and even the chocolate Frenchie. This is because the white coat color is a recessive gene, so it’s hard to come by.
What do You Call an All White Frenchie?
An all-white Frenchie is generally referred to as platinum. These types of Frenchies have the color white because of the simple fact that they lack pigment.
Do White French Bulldogs have Problems?
One of the most common questions regarding white French Bulldogs is if they have problems. The answer is no. White French Bulldogs are perfectly okay and don’t have any issues because of their color. One thing to note about the White French Bulldog is that if you get a French Bulldog with a white coat and want to keep it that way, you will need to take special care of them.
Common White French Bulldog Health Issues
The White French Bulldog is a very healthy breed but prone to some health ailments. This includes patellar luxation and brachycephalic syndrome.
Patellar luxation is a condition where the knee slips out of its groove in the thigh bone. The dog may be able to walk on it, but it will sometimes give out and cause them to limp. It can also cause pain, lameness, and arthritis if the condition worsens.
The brachycephalic syndrome occurs when there is insufficient airflow through the nasal passages because of a compressed facial structure. The result is difficulty breathing or snoring due to a narrowed windpipe. Many other symptoms also occur with this condition, and it can be life-threatening if left untreated.
