Pearl – French Bulldog Health Tests & Scores | Perth WA
Pearl is a fully health-tested French Bulldog in our Deluxedarlings program based in Perth, Western Australia. Her comprehensive testing includes full DNA screening (7 panel clear), spine, hips, and trachea X-rays, and detailed veterinary evaluations, all confirming excellent results. She demonstrates correct structure, clear Airways and healthy breathing, which helps reduce the risk of BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome).
Based on her pedigree, Pearl is also be clear for CDPA (Chondrodysplasia), as both her dam Pralina and sire Redmond are genetically clear for this condition. This provides additional confidence in her genetic health and structural quality.
This page provides full transparency, allowing you to view Pearl’s official DNA results, spine scores, and veterinary imaging reports. Our program is focused on producing French Bulldogs with strong health, functional structure, and reliable genetics, supporting the future wellbeing of the breed.

Pearl – French Bulldog Spine Health Evaluation
Pearl’s official canine spine report confirms excellent spinal health and structural quality. Her total spine score is 6, which is considered a very strong result for a French Bulldog. The lumbar spine section shows a clear score of 0, meaning no abnormalities were detected in the lower spine. This indicates very healthy vertebral alignment and stability.
The tracheal measurement ratio is 0.23, which is also an excellent result. In French Bulldogs the typical reference value is around 0.16, so Pearl’s measurement demonstrates strong airway structure and very good respiratory support. These health scores highlight the importance of careful veterinary screening and responsible breeding practices focused on long-term health, structure and wellbeing of the French Bulldog breed.

At Deluxedarlings French Bulldogs in Perth, Western Australia, all breeding dogs undergo official veterinary health evaluations including spinal X-rays and structural scoring. Transparency in health testing helps ensure future generations of French Bulldogs are healthier, stronger and better supported for lifelong wellbeing.
Pearl – Lumbar Spine X-Ray Evaluation
This diagnostic lumbar spine X-ray confirms excellent spinal structure and alignment in Pearl. The lumbar section received a score of 0, which means no abnormalities were detected in the lower spine. A score of zero represents the best possible result and indicates strong vertebral formation and healthy spinal development.
Spinal X-ray evaluation is an important health screening tool in French Bulldogs, as the breed can be prone to vertebral malformations. By performing official veterinary imaging and structural scoring, responsible breeders can identify healthy dogs with strong skeletal structure before including them in a breeding program.
Pearl – Pelvic Ventro-Dorsal X-Ray Evaluation
This pelvic ventro-dorsal X-ray provides a clear diagnostic view of Pearl’s hip joints and pelvic structure. The imaging shows well-formed joints with good alignment and no visible abnormalities, supporting strong skeletal development and stability. Proper hip and pelvic structure are essential for mobility, comfort, and long-term wellbeing in French Bulldogs.
​
Veterinary X-ray evaluation of the pelvis and hips is an important part of responsible health screening, helping to identify structural quality and reduce the risk of hereditary joint issues. Clear and balanced hip formation contributes to better movement, strength and overall physical health.

At Deluxedarlings French Bulldogs in Perth, Western Australia, all breeding dogs undergo professional imaging and health assessments to ensure high standards of structure, soundness and long-term wellbeing for future generations.
Pearl – Thoracic Spine Ventro-Dorsal X-Ray Evaluation
This thoracic spine ventro-dorsal X-ray provides a view of Pearl’s mid-spinal structure. Thoracic spine evaluation is an essential part of health testing in French Bulldogs.
At Deluxedarlings French Bulldogs in Perth, Western Australia, all breeding dogs undergo comprehensive veterinary health testing, including spinal X-rays and structural scoring.
Pearl – Open Nares, Airway Health & BOAS Risk Reduction
Pearl demonstrates excellent open nares, clear airflow, and relaxed, efficient breathing — key indicators of healthy airway function in French Bulldogs. We place strong emphasis on correct structure, including well-opened nostrils and a slightly longer muzzle, to support optimal respiratory performance.
Our breeding program is focused on producing French Bulldogs with functional, healthy airways, helping to reduce the risks associated with BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome). Health, structure, and breathing ability are prioritised over appearance alone.
Through careful selection and health-focused breeding decisions, our dogs consistently show strong breathing ability and overall wellbeing, without the need for airway intervention.
Pearl French Bulldog DNA Health Testing – Clear Results for Genetic Diseases & Airway Risk (ADAMTS3)
Pearl’s DNA health testing confirms clear (N/N) results across multiple important genetic conditions, demonstrating strong genetic health and reliability.
​
• Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)
A progressive neurological disease affecting mobility. Pearl is clear (N/N), meaning she will not develop or pass on this condition.
​
• Multifocal Retinopathy (CMR1)
An inherited eye condition affecting retinal development. Clear (N/N) confirms normal vision health and no genetic risk.
​
• Hereditary Cataract
A condition that can cause clouding of the eye lens. Pearl is clear (N/N), supporting long-term eye health.
​
• Airway Distress Syndrome (ADAMTS3) – Risk Marker
This marker is associated with airway structure and breathing function. Pearl is clear (N/N), with no copies of the variant detected, supporting healthy airway development and reduced BOAS risk.
​
These results confirm that Pearl carries no detectable genetic variants for these conditions, supporting strong health, normal function, and responsible, health-focused breeding practices.
Pearl French Bulldog DNA Health Results – Genetic Disease Screening
Pearl’s DNA health testing confirms clear (N/N) results across multiple key genetic conditions, demonstrating strong genetic health and reliability.
• Hyperuricosuria (HUU)
A condition that can lead to urinary stone formation. Pearl is clear (N/N), meaning she will not develop or pass on this condition.
• Cone-Rod Dystrophy I – PRA (crd4/cord1)
An inherited eye disorder that can affect vision over time. Pearl is clear (N/N), supporting normal visual development and long-term eye health.
• Airway Distress Syndrome (ADAMTS3) – Risk Marker
This genetic marker is associated with airway structure and breathing efficiency in brachycephalic breeds. Pearl is clear (N/N), with no copies of the variant detected, supporting healthy airway development and reduced risk associated with BOAS.
These clear results confirm that Pearl carries no detectable genetic variants for these conditions, supporting strong health, functional structure, and responsible breeding decisions focused on long-term wellbeing.
