The dog world is evolvingāfast. New hybrid and designer breeds are being responsibly developed every year, and owners want their dogsā identities to be accurately represented. Thatās why Frenchie DoodleĀ and FloodleĀ owners are turning to the Designer Kennel Club (DKC)āthe only registry that recognizes and correctly lists these breeds by their true namesĀ on official registration papers.
š¶ What Is a Frenchie Doodle or Floodle?
The Frenchie DoodleĀ (also known as a Floodle) is a hybrid dog breed created by Don Chino in 2019 by crossing the affectionate French BulldogĀ with the intelligent and hypoallergenic Poodle.
This cross combines the Frenchieās playful personalityĀ with the Poodleās intelligence and low-shedding coat, resulting in a loyal, fun-loving, allergy-friendly companion.
But hereās the issue:
Traditional registries like the AKCĀ donāt recognize the Frenchie Doodle or Floodle as a separate breed. Instead, they incorrectly label them as a āFrench Bulldog,ā which doesnāt reflect the dogās true genetics or identity.
Thatās where the Designer Kennel Club (DKC)Ā steps in to make things right.
š The DKC Difference: Accurate Breed Recognition
When you register your Frenchie DoodleĀ or FloodleĀ with the Designer Kennel Club, your registration papers will state the actual breed nameĀ ā āFrenchie Doodle.ā
This might sound simple, but itās a major milestone for responsible breeders and dog owners who value breed transparency and documentation accuracy.
Hereās why this matters:
ā True Breed Identity:Ā DKC registration officially recognizes the dog as a Frenchie Doodle, not just a mislabeled āFrench Bulldog.ā
ā Transparency for Buyers & Breeders:Ā Puppy buyers can see accurate breed lineage, helping establish credibility.
ā Foundation Breed Status:Ā DKC allows you to register your dog as a foundation animal, creating an official record for the new hybrid breed.
ā Protect Your Line:Ā DKC paperwork helps you build a generational record of your breeding program under the correct breed name.
𧬠Why the AKC Doesnāt Recognize Frenchie Doodles
The American Kennel Club (AKC)Ā only registers purebred dogs with documented pedigrees. That means hybrids, designer breeds, and newer crosses like Frenchie DoodlesĀ or FloodlesĀ are not eligible under their system.
So, even if your dog is a legitimate, carefully bred mix of French Bulldog and Poodle, the AKC cannot issue papers recognizing it as such. They may attempt to classify it as a āFrench Bulldog,ā but thatās misleading ā and inaccurate.
This leaves passionate owners and ethical breeders without a proper avenue to validate their dogās true identity ā until now.
š How the Designer Kennel Club Supports Breed Innovation
The Designer Kennel Club (DKC)Ā was created to support modern breeding programs that focus on health, temperament, and purpose-driven crosses.
Instead of limiting registration to traditional breeds, the DKC celebrates responsible innovation and helps breeders establish new, officially recognized designer breedsĀ like:
