Morning gents. Our 5 year old Frenchie requires surgery and after doing cost analysis it works out cheaper to buy a new dog instead. But we want to make sure it comes from a reputable breeder and is less likely to require expensive vet fees in later life.

In this context can anyone advise resources where to get in touch with reputable breeders? Also recommendations for breeds - good with kids, small to medium sized dog suitable for living in apartments.

Thanks in advance.
