Exciting Update: Eastham’s Open French Bulldogs Renews AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Membership!

We’re happy to share that Eastham’s Open French Bulldogs has successfully renewed our membership in the AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Program through May 2027. This continued recognition reflects our ongoing dedication to ethical breeding, breed health, and our commitment to
“Companionship at its best.”

What does continuing in the Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Program mean?

The Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Program is an American Kennel Club initiative that holds breeders to a specific, ongoing standard across five commitments — Health, Education, Accountability, Responsibility, and Tradition. To renew, we certified that our breeding stock has completed all recommended health testing for French Bulldogs, completed our annual AKC-approved continuing education courses, and reaffirmed our compliance with AKC's Care and Conditions Policy — including agreeing to kennel inspections and full accountability for the puppies we produce.

Renewing this membership isn't automatic — it requires active participation every year. It is one more way we live out our promise of
​"Companionship at its best."
