General
The first step to purchasing a puppy is filling out our application. We place puppies on a first-come, first-served basis, and a non-refundable deposit is required for puppies under 8 weeks old
Our puppies are raised with lots of love and care, and we want to make sure they go to homes where they’ll be treated like family. The application helps us learn more about the kind of environment you’ll provide, ensuring the best match for both you and the puppy. As a fellow dog lover, we know you understand how important that is!
Our puppies are ready for their new homes at 8 weeks of age.
As your Frenchie grows, so does their ability to hold it until they’re let outside. We highly recommend crate training, as it encourages them to wait until the appropriate time to go. Crate training is a great way to establish routine and boundaries early on.

Not much! They’re really affectionate and love lounging around.
However, it’s important to take them for a 10 to 15-minute walk every day. Just be sure to schedule their exercise during the cooler parts of the day.

French Bulldogs generally live between 10 to 12 years. Their lifespan depends a lot on proper diet and regular physical activity. It’s also a good idea to take them to the vet once a year for routine health checks.
French Bulldogs are best kept indoors, as they’re sensitive to extreme temperatures. They can overheat easily and are also vulnerable to cold weather. To keep them cool on warm days, use a spray bottle during outings and avoid hot pavements that could hurt their paw pads.
French Bulldogs are not natural swimmers.
Due to their short legs, heavy heads, and compact bodies, they struggle to stay afloat and can drown easily. Always supervise them around water, and if they must be near a pool or beach, use a properly fitted dog life jacket for safety.
French Bulldogs are low-maintenance when it comes to grooming, but they still need regular care. A weekly brushing is usually enough to remove loose hair and reduce shedding. It’s also important to clean their facial folds, ears, and nails weekly to prevent infections and maintain hygiene.
-
Positive Reinforcement
Reward your puppy with treats, praise, or play whenever they perform a desired behavior. This encourages them to repeat that behavior. -
Clicker Training
Use a clicker to mark the exact moment your puppy does the right thing, then immediately reward. It helps the puppy understand which behavior is being rewarded. -
Consistency
Use the same commands and reward system every time. Consistency helps puppies learn faster and reduces confusion. -
Short, Frequent Sessions
Puppies have short attention spans. Keep training sessions to 5-10 minutes, multiple times a day. -
Socialization
Expose your puppy to different people, environments, and other dogs early on to build confidence and reduce fear-based behaviors. -
Patience and Calmness
Stay patient and calm, even if your puppy makes mistakes. Avoid punishment, as it can harm trust and slow learning. -
Basic Commands First
Start with simple commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “leave it.” Build on these as your puppy progresses.
Most French Bulldogs tend to get along very well with other animals. Since Frenchies can suffer from separation anxiety when left alone, having a second Frenchie as a companion is often recommended.
Adult French Bulldogs typically weigh between 16 to 28 pounds (7 to 13 kg) and stand about 11 to 13 inches (28 to 33 cm) tall at the shoulder. Males are usually a bit larger than females, but the difference is minor.
A Frenchie’s personality really comes down to how much love and attention they get while growing up. If a puppy doesn’t get enough social time or is left alone too much, it can develop behavior issues and may not be as affectionate. At the end of the day, what you put into your dog in terms of love and training is what you’ll get back—no matter if it’s a boy or a girl.
