He was born safely in a loving foster home after his mom was surrendered just five days before going into labor. Utz is the biggest of the trio and already has a personality that makes you stop and smile.    Personality & Background  Outgoing and playful, but noticeably calmer than his siblings in the foster home. Those big blue eyes? He’ll look right through you — impossible to resist. Loves running around the yard with his siblings and the other Frenchies. Has been raised around other French Bulldogs and cats — he shows no interest in chasing the cats, even as a puppy. Enjoys baths and plays nicely during grooming. Currently in foster care and ready for a home with French Bulldog or brachycephalic breed experience (required).    Quick Facts Breed: French Bulldog (blue) Good with: other Frenchies, cats Temperament: outgoing, playful, calmer than siblings Ideal adopters: must have French Bulldog or brachycephalic breed experience    Special Care for French Bulldogs & Other Brachycephalic Breeds   French Bulldogs are wonderful companions, but they do come with unique care needs. Utz will thrive in a home that understands how to keep these lovable, short-nosed dogs healthy and safe.    Important Care Notes  Heat & Exercise: Frenchies tolerate heat poorly. Keep play sessions short and indoors during hot weather. Always provide shade, fresh water, and air conditioning when needed. Breathing: Monitor for noisy or labored breathing, and schedule regular vet visits to ensure clear airways. No Jumping or Stairs: Discourage jumping on/off furniture and frequent stair use — this helps protect their spine and joints. Use ramps or lift them when needed. Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight is essential to protect their breathing and joints. Avoid overfeeding or excessive treats. Skin Folds & Face Care: Clean and dry facial folds regularly to prevent irritation or infection. Watch for redness, odor, or discharge. Ears: Check and clean ears routinely (per your vet’s advice) — Frenchies are prone to ear infections due to skin folds and moisture. Skin & Allergies: Sensitive skin is common. Medicated baths, topical treatments, or special diets may be needed if allergies develop. Dental Care: Brush teeth regularly and plan for professional dental cleanings — small breeds often need extra attention to oral health. Grooming: Low-shedding, but regular nail trims and baths are needed. Utz enjoys bath time — that’s a plus! Vet Care: Always use a veterinarian familiar with brachycephalic breeds, especially for anesthesia or sedation. Training & Socialization: Continue gentle, positive-reinforcement training. Utz is already social with dogs and cats — he’s off to a great start!    Adoption Requirements for Utz  French Bulldog or brachycephalic breed experience is required Commitment to breed-specific care and regular veterinary oversight Willingness to manage grooming, skin/ear care, and respiratory safety Home setup that limits jumping and includes ramps or supervised access to furniture A loving, patient family ready to continue his training and socialization   Important Information for New Puppy Parents   Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience—but it also comes with important responsibilities. To help your puppy grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted adult dog, dedication to obedience training, socialization, and consistent potty training is essential.   We strongly recommend that the entire family participates in puppy training classes. This not only helps build a strong bond with your new pup but also ensures that everyone is using the same commands and techniques, creating a clear and consistent environment for learning.   **Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement—and so do their families! Let’s set them up for a lifetime of love and success
