One of the breeders listed with us recently brought the following company - MyDogDNA to my attention and it was hard not to be impressed with the product they offer: SIMULTANEOUS TESTING OF 100+ GENETIC DISORDERS AND TRAITS - THE INCLUDED GENE TESTS. For info: 100 euro's works out to about £73 at this time.

Cant recommend one specifically as I'm not a breeder but in case it helps here is a pdf of the kennel club breed specific health tests (mandatory & available/recommended ones) and the various labs you can use, but I've listed them below in case the link doesn't work  - French Bulldog is page 31 http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/media/14688/dnatestsworldwide.pdf

Annual Eye Testing = BVA/KC Scheme
Hereditary Cataract (HC-HSF4) = Labs: AHT, Animal Genetics, VetGen, Genetic Technologies Ltd, Genindexe, Genomia, Laboklin
Canine Coat and Nose Colour = Labs: HealthGene
Coat Colour Gene Variations = Labs: VetGen, Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory (University of California)
Hyperuricosuria (HUU): Labs Laboklin, VetGen
Progressive Retinal Atrophy, cord1 (PRA-cord1) = Labs: VetGen
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) = Labs: VetGen
Canine Multi-focal Retinopathy (CMR) = Labs: VetGen, Genoscoper

The last page on the PDF gives the contact details for each of the Labs.

Unfortunately for many DNA tests you don't have a choice of provider as the tests have been copyrighted
