🚨 STILL ON TOP 🚨
The American Kennel Club has spoken — and the French Bulldog holds the #1 spot once again. 🏆
That makes it 4 consecutive years at #1… after officially dethroning the Labrador Retriever, who held the crown for an incredible 31 straight years (1991–2021).
Let that sink in — this isn’t just a trend… this is a shift in the entire breed landscape.
💭 And honestly… we get it.
Frenchies bring personality, loyalty, humor, and that undeniable “heart dog” connection that turns families into lifers.
But with popularity comes responsibility.
At Rowdy Rowleyz, this is exactly why we do what we do for our extended families.
When a breed rises this fast, you start to see:
▪️ Corners being cut
▪️ Health testing skipped
▪️ Quick flips instead of lifelong commitments
And that’s where we draw the line.
We believe every puppy should be set up for a lifetime — not just a moment.
✔️ Comprehensive DNA screening
✔️ OFA health testing (hips, spine, cardiac, eyes, and more)
✔️ Thoughtful, selective pairings
✔️ Full transparency with our families
Because behind every “ #1 breed” is a responsibility to protect what makes them special in the first place.
Our program isn’t built for hype — it’s built for legacy, longevity, and love.
To our Rowdy families (past, present, and future)… thank you for trusting us to do it the right way. 🤎
