If you’re a fan of French Bulldogs, you might have heard the latest buzz in the dog world: research shared by New Scientist shows that French Bulldogs, on average, have a surprisingly short life expectancy—around 4.5 years. That’s a big wake-up call for anyone who loves these adorable, smushy-faced pups. But don’t worry; there’s a brighter side to this story. Enter the Royale dog—a breed we’ve created with health and longevity in mind.
A Healthier, Longer-Living Companion
Here’s the deal: Royale dogs are not just any designer mix. By blending the best traits of French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, we’ve created a breed that typically lives between 12 to 16 years. That’s more than triple the lifespan of the average French Bulldog mentioned in the study!
This isn’t just luck or good vibes; it’s all about intentional, selective breeding. We’ve carefully chosen excellent examples of these three breeds, prioritizing health, structure, and temperament over all else. The result? A robust, happy companion who isn’t just cute but also built to thrive.
Why the Royale Dog Is Different
French Bulldogs, while charming, have been plagued by health issues due to their extreme features and years of poor breeding practices. Problems like breathing difficulties, spinal issues, and eye disorders are all too common. By introducing Boston Terriers and Cavaliers into the mix, we’ve brought in genes that help correct these issues.
Boston Terriers add athleticism and energy, while Cavaliers contribute their gentle nature and longer lifespan. Together, this blend creates a healthier, more balanced dog that still captures the charm and personality you love.
Investing in Top-Quality Genetics
We didn’t stop at mixing breeds. To ensure our lines are as strong as possible, we’ve gone the extra mile—literally. We’ve imported some of our breeding dogs from Europe, where breeding standards often emphasize health and genetic diversity. This commitment to sourcing top-notch genetics ensures that every Royale pup starts life with the best possible foundation.
The Best of Both Worlds
If you’re looking for a dog that combines the playful spirit of a French Bulldog, the spunk of a Boston Terrier, and the sweetness of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the Royale dog is it. And the fact that they’re healthier and live longer? That’s the cherry on top.
With a Royale dog, you’re not just getting a pet; you’re gaining a family member who’ll stick by your side for years to come. And in a world where canine health sometimes takes a backseat, we’re proud to lead the charge for happy, healthy, long-lived dogs.
So, if you’re ready to fall in love with a pup that’s built for the long haul, maybe it’s time to meet a Royale dog. Your future furry best friend is waiting!
