How to Breed Pied Colored French Bulldogs

French bulldogs are small companion dogs. They typically have sturdy, compact bodies, square heads with round foreheads and erect, bat-like ears. They are energetic, affectionate dogs that love to be pampered and spoiled by their owners. Pied colored French bulldogs are typically white with splotches of colors on their bodies; these patches of colors are typically red, brown or black. Breeding these dogs should be done conscientiously and with the intent to improve the breed.

      Choose a male and female French bulldog. The parent dogs should be healthy and fit, with no history of health issues. Look for adult dogs with good temperament as well. The pied color gene is recessive in French bulldogs, so choose two parent dogs with pied coloring for the best chance of obtaining pied offspring.

      Watch the female bulldog for signs that she is in heat. Pro estrus in dogs is indicated by swelling of the vulva accompanied by dark, bloody discharge. In this stage, females will reject the advances of a male dog. Approximately nine days after the onset of pro estrus, the female enters the estrus phase, in which discharge decreases and lightens in color. Once the dog reaches this stage, it's time to breed her.

      Introduce the dogs to each other. French bulldogs are generally not aggressive; however, maintain supervision at this stage. The dogs should be placed in an enclosed area to prevent either from running away, but they should also have some level of privacy.

      Breed the dogs at least twice to maximize the probability of pregnancy. A single breeding may not be sufficient. Keep an eye on the dogs during each session to ensure that copulation occurs.
