🐾 Why Frenchie Doodle & Floodle Owners Are Registering With the Designer Kennel Club (DKC)

Updated: Nov 6

The dog world is evolving—fast. New hybrid and designer breeds are being responsibly developed every year, and owners want their dogs’ identities to be accurately represented. That’s why Frenchie DoodleĀ and FloodleĀ owners are turning to the Designer Kennel Club (DKC)—the only registry that recognizes and correctly lists these breeds by their true namesĀ on official registration papers.


🐶 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 Frenchie’s playful personalityĀ with the Poodle’s intelligence and low-shedding coat, resulting in a loyal, fun-loving, allergy-friendly companion.

But here’s the issue:

Traditional registries like the AKCĀ don’t recognize the Frenchie Doodle or Floodle as a separate breed. Instead, they incorrectly label them as a ā€œFrench Bulldog,ā€ which doesn’t reflect the dog’s true genetics or identity.

That’s where the Designer Kennel Club (DKC)Ā steps in to make things right.


šŸ“œ 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 name — ā€œFrenchie Doodle.ā€

This might sound simple, but it’s a major milestone for responsible breeders and dog owners who value breed transparency and documentation accuracy.

Here’s why this matters:

  • āœ… True Breed Identity:Ā DKC registration officially recognizes the dog as a Frenchie Doodle, not just a mislabeled ā€œFrench Bulldog.ā€

  • āœ… Transparency for Buyers & Breeders:Ā Puppy buyers can see accurate breed lineage, helping establish credibility.

  • āœ… Foundation Breed Status:Ā DKC allows you to register your dog as a foundation animal, creating an official record for the new hybrid breed.

  • āœ… Protect Your Line:Ā DKC paperwork helps you build a generational record of your breeding program under the correct breed name.


🧬 Why the AKC Doesn’t 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 ā€œFrench Bulldog,ā€ but that’s misleading — and inaccurate.

This leaves passionate owners and ethical breeders without a proper avenue to validate their dog’s true identity — until now.


šŸ† 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:

  • Frenchie Doodle 🐾

  • Bernedoodle

  • Goldendoodle

  • Cavapoo

  • Pomsky

  • Sheepadoodle

  • Labradoodle

By registering your Frenchie DoodleĀ or FloodleĀ with the DKC, you’re not only getting paperwork—you’re helping shape the future of dog breeding and genetic recognition.


šŸ“‹ How to Register Your Frenchie Doodle With DKC

The process is simple:

  1. Go to DesignerKennelClub.comĀ and click ā€œRegister Dog.ā€

  2. Choose Foundation RegistrationĀ if your dog’s parents are not yet registered.

  3. Upload clear photosĀ of your Frenchie Doodle.

  4. Provide basic details (name, breed type, sex, color, date of birth).

  5. Receive official DKC papersĀ that accurately say ā€œFrenchie Doodleā€ or ā€œFloodle.ā€

Your registration package includes official paperwork that can be used for proof of ownership, breeding verification, and breed authenticity.


ā¤ļø Why Owners Love DKC

Frenchie Doodle and Floodle owners praise DKC for providing something other registries can’t: recognition and respect for hybrid breeds.

Here’s what breeders and owners say:

ā€œFinally, my dog’s paperwork matches what he actually is — a Frenchie Doodle. Thank you DKC for giving us a place where designer breeds are valued!ā€
ā€œThe AKC wouldn’t register my litter, but DKC made it easy. Now my puppies have real papers that reflect their true breed.ā€
