Maine Coast Bulldogs, Biddeford, ME (2024)

French Bulldogs are in a league of their own !
Yes they are now number 1 wanted dog in America!!!
Finding the right vet is very very important!!! Unfortunately these babies also can be very very sensitive to certain Vaccines and Anesthesia! Ensuring their safety is key !!!! We use a local vet for health checks and vaccines but travel for anything above routine visits.
French Bulldogs should always have a harness on never a leash and collar 😢.
Keeping your Frenchie at a healthy weight is important!
Never just change the diet of your Frenchie just because you’ve read something on line or 🧐 think this looks better . Their belly’s and digestive systems can be sensitive. If you’re not having issues leave it alone !!!!
If your dog has a chicken allergy be aware that a lot of lamb dog foods include chicken byproducts. So if you’re switching please check the bag for the chicken byproducts.
Remember a cute puppy isn’t necessarily a healthy puppy. Research and make sure your dealing with someone you can communicate with in the future and transparency is important. Have a great weekend!

Raising pups is a lot of work ❤️
Their development in the beginning is so important!
Coming from healthy bloodlines , receiving proper vet care , proper diets , socializing, redirecting constantly. Ensuring you’re receiving the healthiest pup possible! This should be what everyone’s goal is ❤️❤️❤️. When you get your pup those shark teeth require lots of stimulation!!!! Not your finger or wood work , cords , shoes ect should be available at this time !!!! Make sure they are always supervised on what’s going in your pups mouth ! Just like a baby every thing deserves a taste 😂.
These pups have been learning right and wrong naturally in our adult pack . So when you receive our pups they have the ability to judge proper behaviors with adult dogs . This can make it easier if you have an adult dog already at home 🏠
We share all our pup journeys on instagram

I read an article the other day about French Bulldogs being in crisis 💔💔. Frenchie Greeders not Breeders !!!! The get rich off puppies then dump your dog in a shelter and breeding dogs with known congenital issues has overwhelmed the big shelters! Nothing breaks my heart more than this !!!!! I worry always about every single dog that leaves my home 🏡. Every update on them brings me joy and happiness! Every pup leaves with a signed contract saying our dogs will never end up in a shelter!!!!
Our adults retired stay living their best life here with their FAMILY!
Seeing dogs living their lives in cages used only to support humans is disgusting 🤮!
They love ❤️ us unconditionally, wait for us to come back home 🏡, greet us with joy every single time .
Honestly if I could take them all I would!
Buying a new dog takes time , money and research!
Stop the abuse of dogs and do your part and buy responsible please 🙏

This is a place I try to share things I’ve learned over the years raising my babies and being a Frenchie Mom of five ❤️
I am not a vet . If I can help you educate yourself on this particular breed and maybe help someone that’s my intentions ❤️
Today I want to talk about Vaccines. French Bulldogs can be extremely sensitive to Vaccines! They can be super sensitive to any Vaccine that begins with the letter L !!!! Lepto is number one caution ⚠️. Today I am talking about this because just this week two of my fellow breeders had dogs with extreme reactions to their Lepto vaccine.
What can we do ? One thing that can be extremely helpful is Benadryl!!!! Please 🙏 always get your correct dose before administering. Benadryl by mouth the night before vaccine and morning of vaccination. After that every 8 hours for 3 days . Yes your baby can become drowsy from the Benadryl that’s normal ….. again weigh your dog and get correct dose.
Asking your vets office before you go what shots are they administering so you are aware ahead of time ❤️. Keeping all our pups safe is key 🔑!!!!!! I love them all !

Today we seem to have so many things to worry about as humans and our fur babies!
Mystery illness, recalls on food , reactions to vaccines, reactions to flea and tick prevention! It’s hard to keep up sometimes and you can wonder what’s the real truth?!?!?!?
❤️ The first ingredient in your dog food should never be cornmeal, beef meal , chicken meal ect …

❤️ beware of anything with Birch sugar!!!! Never never never feed them anything with Birch sugar it’s found in a lot of our human foods or sugar free

❤️ watch foods high in saturated fats ( Bacon 🥓) high in saturated fatty foods is the number one cause of pancreatitis! You don’t ever want to experience this !

❤️ 🥕🥕🥕 are great for eye health in our pets too ! Raw carrots help with dental health and have vitamins A,C, and K all naturally good for your dog ! If they won’t eat raw try cooked you can add a little to their kibble .

❤️ coconut oil is a natural anti itch , anti inflammatory product. Does your dog have gingivitis? Try rubbing coconut oil once a day on their gums this has been known to help with that too !

⭐️ not a vet just sharing things that can be helpful of course always consult the vet when needed ❤️

For atleast 150 years the French Bulldogs have been blessing each Owner with their magnetic presence!
❤️ they are very adaptable
❤️ food motivated ( open the fridge, open a bag of chips , sit down to eat ) they will be there 😝

❤️ snoring , grunting, whining making noise you’ve never heard these dogs are very talkative some days you may question pig or two year old not a dog 🤣

❤️ strong jaws make toys disappear in sometimes less than 3 minutes! Toy Destroying is so fun 🙄

❤️ neighborhood watch dogs 😬 they love watching out a window to tell you your neighbor five houses down has arrived home from work ! Also to let you know they saw a squirrel, bird or chipmunk 🐿️!

❤️ They greet each guest to your home like it’s their birthday 🎉….. everyone is a friend!

❤️ very very social always looking to play ! Their best friends is usually another Frenchie ! They are very very rough players and tend to jump at dogs faces ( this some bigger dogs do not appreciate) please beware . This is how most of them play !
Nine times out of 10 your Frenchie will be moved from the small dogs at doggie daycare and moved with the big dogs 🐕 😊.

❤️ Velcro dogs that follow their human from place to place . They often sit on your feet or lean against you even when standing. Sit down and loose your lap .

❤️ you often find Frenchies sitting on a coffee table , kitchen table or chair and up high on the back of living room furniture……

❤️ you don’t understand the addiction until you become a Frenchie parent ! Once you go Frenchie you never go back 😝😝😝

Happy New Year 🎊 everyone stay safe

When searching for a new baby ❤️
I approach this subject a lot because most people buying just jump at the cute pup or great price .
Raising these dogs is not CHEAP! The initial investment for a breeding female ( with rights ) is not cheap . Then getting them properly checked for health clearance.
That’s just the beginning!
Things to look for ……
Most of the time a good Breeder will have a wait list !
This means they have repeat customers or families willing to wait for a quality puppy ❤️.
Always look at all their social media accounts and website if available. This is a good place to read comments under their posts and see their reputation.
Having healthy habits before , during and after pregnancy is crucial. Good breeders ensure that their programs are as healthy as possible.
All our dogs stay with us for life ! They are not our money makers . We are very small and it’s a passion not a business. Take a look at our instagram
Hopefully this can help someone searching for a new Frenchie get a healthy quality pup . Ensuring the parents to your pup is also living their best life ❤️
Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Christmas 🎄!

Good afternoon 🌞 everyone !
I often use this to bring attention to issues or help anyone owning a Frenchie. I am on so many Frenchie group sites and often see things maybe the general owner doesn’t see .
Under post is a warning ⚠️ for everyone to read for all dogs about a virus going around. As nice as it is for businesses to put water dishes down for our pups it’s really a Petri dish of germs 🦠 . Plan ahead bring your own water for your baby . As much as we love to socialize our dogs unfortunately not everyone gets proper healthcare for their dogs and dog parks can be another source to get exposure . 😢
Also lately there have been tons and tons of rescues going on for breeding frenchies 😢😢. This breaks my heart ! Mothers that have never received proper vet care ! Legs weak because they never left their kennel ! Missing hair all over from lack of cleanliness and diets!!!!! Pressure wounds on feet from living in a cage ! UNACCEPTABLE !! Know your breeder ! Know the life all the dogs live in that environment ! There is a responsibility on us as humans to stop 🛑 this madness !!!! Greed at the expense of these dogs is disgusting !
They deserve so much better ! I feel like I need to share because everyone isn’t aware .
All dog’s under our posts come from our bloodline
We have an instagram
We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your families and loved ones !

Happy thanksgiving 🦃 week everyone !
If your owning a Frenchie or researching info on French Bulldogs your probably aware of Ivdd . This is every Frenchie owners biggest fear 😢😢. I’ve included a photo under post to see what it may look like . Keeping your Frenchie at a healthy weight is so important . Regular exercise just like in humans is very very important. Quality food and diet . Using ramps or stairs to limit jumping is important.
One thing to consider is actually holding off on the spay or neuter of your pup . There are lots and lots of new studies linking an early spay or neuter to higher risk of the disease. This is totally a personal choice to discuss with your vet and read up on your own . We are seeing so much more of the disease and vets are mentioning at six months about getting the surgery. Letting your dog fully mature if this gives them a better chance on not experiencing this horrible condition to me is a win win 🥇 .
Remember cold weather is here and your Frenchie may need a jacket or sweater . Your baby should never ever be left outside alone in cold or hot weather .

Feel free to share for anyone that could use a Frenchie dose of cuteness ❤️
Anything posted is things that I’ve found helpful always discuss with your own vet.

French Bulldogs on average should top out at just a little over 30 pounds this makes them the perfect portable companion ❤️.
They are often referred to as a Velcro dog 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻.
They will follow you everywhere and can definitely try to get involved with whatever your trying to do 😂😂.
They are so fiercely protective of their owners that saving you from doing the Vacuuming , sweeping , raking, leaf blowing , watering lawn ( or anything with the water hose ) you will be protected in full force 😂😂😂. In fact if you don’t like housework this is the dog for you 😜. Another great reason to invest 😂😂

Have a great week everyone

Living in Maine or a colder State you definitely 💯 need to think about the temperature and how it can affect your Frenchie ! Just like they are sensitive to heat and humidity it’s important to keep them warm on a cold day ! Invest in sweaters or jackets for your baby !
Signs they are cold 🥶 just like us they will shake and shiver 🥶 . They may start to whine or cry 😢 . Lifting their paws up or trying to go back inside .
Pay attention to their body language and be mindful to their needs ❤️.

Bringing you puppy home at 8 weeks is a very exciting time ❤️. High quality socialization with humans , pets and a safe environment is key from 8to 16 weeks . This stage they develop a fear period and giving your new baby a scary or bad experience can last a lifetime.
It’s important to tell them when they are doing something right ….. not always tell them when they are doing something wrong . This helps them understand what it is you want .
Most of the time our dogs view us as their pack leader and sometimes you’ll see your dog get very protective of their family . This can be a natural
instinct to protect their leaders ( mom and dad ect )
It’s very important that your dog sees you as their boss ! Especially in frenchies . Remember at the end of the day these cute little buggers are a bulldog !

Motivation Monday
15 minutes in the morning for a nice brisk walk is so much better than any treat ! The benefits for you and your dog to feel better !!!! Exercise twice a day for only 15 minutes can make a huge difference in your dog’s behavior at home plus this helps to keep them healthy !!!!! We sometimes are so busy with work and kids home ect we forget that our dogs only depend on us …. That’s all they have 🫶🏻. Our attention and love is better than any crappy treat you can buy !!!!! Daily exercise is good for your body too ! Get out and walk !
Follow us on instagram for daily updates on our story
Also for people inquiring it’s a great place to see all our adults and past pups ! Thanks for all the love ! I appreciate all the kind words and support from you all have a great week !

You will find prices for these dogs all over the map !
So many factors why ……
Some people are doing this as a living and they have so many pups it’s get this litter out I have three more to sell . Some may have had an oops 🙊. Some shop around for the cheapest prices in vet care and then can afford a cheaper pup . Some States a C-section is very ,very cheap compared to here .
For me personally my dogs are my life ! If you know me personally you would know I am an animal lover ❤️. A pregnancy can be fatal in French Bulldogs! It’s a major surgery and if your dog goes into natural labor and a pup gets stuck it’s death for mom and pups behind the stuck puppy! ( very common)
I would do anything to keep them safe and give them top of the line medical care ! My prices are not to support my family it’s to support what I am giving to each family. I care about each and every dog I raise and love pupdates and always try to check in . To me this breed is very special….. little angels 😇 on earth!
They bring so much joy to a 🏡 home ! Again research before buying! They are needy and hate being alone 🥹. They can be stubborn. They can be bossy or bullheaded 😂. They can be a total brat !
Being so human like each one is different! Also if they do develop health issues hold on to your wallet!
TGIF everyone ❤️🫶🏻

Big Puppy eyes can capture your heart ❤️ and there is no turning back !
Remember bringing home a new puppy is something you need to prepare for ! This little life is now in your hands . When preparing for your new puppy you should try to schedule time off to make sure the puppy has an easy adjustment from mom and litter mates . Puppy proofing your home is a must ! They are a bundle of energy and very curious of their surroundings! Moving electrical cords out of reach , plants should be moved and any small items they could eat or swallow. Your new puppy will not sleep through the night and should not be expected to !
Their little bladders most likely cannot last 8 hours so rest up too 😂😂😂. With all the joy we get from puppies they are also a lot of work …… 😂. I put countless hours in with them trying to give each family a well rounded , secure , loving pup 🐶. I also provide daily videos of their growth and playtime on my instagram . I provide lots of pics and updates because they change so fast 💨 trying to include each family in my process ❤️.

More about this beautiful breed !
After school shootings therapy dogs are brought in to soothe children’s ragged nerves 💔. They are discovering how perfect a Frenchie can be for this situation. This can be very draining on the animals and some handlers ( professional) cannot last the day or cannot return due to the stress on the dog . Recently their was a story that only the French Bulldog could stand the stress and stayed in that situation for those children! Amazing 🤩!
French Bulldogs are sweet and very affectionate. They have helped many struggling with anxiety or emotional struggles. They are lap dogs who are incredibly devoted to their human!
They are intelligent and pick up on their own how to solve problems ❤️
They are very social animals and curious 🧐 most families cannot just have one Frenchie 😂 . They enjoy playing and sleeping with their friends.
We love all dogs but this is obviously 🙄 number one in our eyes !
Have a great day everyone! Xo

We love our babies and also love to spoil them ❤️
Like with human food their are so many unhealthy treats on the Market ! Most just have cheap fillers and bad stuff in them ! You should never ever buy treats made in China ! Because keeping this breed at a healthy weight is so important you need to stay with low calorie and preferably all natural treats !
Treats like pup peroni contain red 40 dye not something we should be giving our babies!
Making your own treats at home can be simple ❤️
1/2 cup all pumpkin ( just pumpkin)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt mix together
Put in a silicone mold and put in freezer
Pumpkin is a natural stomach soother and has essential micro nutrients and fiber
Greek yogurt is a great source of protein, calcium and probiotics ❤️
Also much cheaper than the products on the shelves!
Fruits in small doses can be great treats too
Blueberry 🫐, watermelon 🍉, Apple 🍎, oranges and raspberry ( very small amounts) all have beneficial ingredients!
❤️ feel free to share our information with anyone you think might benefit from little tips on keeping our dogs happy and healthy!
All dogs in pics our our production ❤️

Sometimes people call or write saying my Frenchie isn’t eating?!?!?
This for the most part can be normal behavior for these dogs . One day they don’t barely take a bite and the next day they are eating like a champ !
Well Frenchies are known for getting bored with what your serving them ! They opt to wait maybe for a nice filet 😘😂. I mean can you imagine eating the same meal day in and out ?!?!? We always offer a little something with each meal . Our favorite go to is Stella and chewy freeze dried meats . Break up into crumbs over kibble ….. beef , lamb , venison they even carry a bacon with fresh veggies dust . You don’t need much but this helps make the meal a bit tastier!!!!!
This breed being the most human like breed is no lie !
If it’s raining out they look at you like today looks like a great day to go the bathroom inside 😂 or you p*e out there and then maybe I will !!!!! On a bad weather day it’s smart to put a pad down and save yourself the headache 🤕 😜!
Our pups each come with a one year health guarantee.
30 days of health coverage
Deworming
F***l tested
Starting packs
AKc registered pet only

Putting these pups with the correct loving home is very important to us . We never ever want our dogs ending up in a shelter! 🫶🏻 we offer longtime assistance and advice if needed.

French Bulldogs can come in about 30 different color combinations! Not many dog breeds can even begin to compete with that !
Standard Frenchies are brindle , Fawn , white , and cream
Rare colors are solid Black ( zero brindle)
Blues , lilacs , platinum, Isabella , Merle’s , fluffy or long hair , chocolate and any tan points .
There is a price range difference in the two . Rare colors are always at a higher price tag .
A lot of people contact me and have been scammed out of money buying these dogs .
Tips to not get scammed
Follow all social media accounts they should be established.
Ask to FaceTime and see your puppy
Ask for a video with the puppy saying your name in the video.
If the deal sounds too good to be true it probably is!
This is one of the most time consuming and expensive breed to raise the right way and that can determine the quality and health of your puppy.
People are getting pups from breeders and the vet records are all in a different language 😢🤦‍♀️ a local vet is not an interpreter and who’s to say these are real ?!?!? Please please research and research
Doing your homework on Frenchies is key
To success ❤️

One of my Favorite things to do is photograph my babies !!!!! Total cuteness and the best smiles !
The best friend you could ever search for ❤️
I love them all !!!!
Living their best life and proud of it !
Keep your babies cool in this heat ! Outside time should be very limited during the day .
Always provide shade or a place to cool down …
Kiddie pools are perfect on a hot day
Frenchies love to attack your water hose 😂😂😂
Use caution ⚠️ not to get too much water in face
Air conditioning is a must in the car on a hot day or keeping your baby safe at home might be the better option. Always look for signs of them being too hot 🥵. Playing or walking after sun goes down is always best on a very hot day !

We travel to NH for what we feel is the best possible vet care for prenatal care and C-section. As they take my Star into the operating room I have so many feelings running through my veins I can’t explain. My husband and I watch as six vet techs get ready to tend to each pup as they come through the window. I can barely look because I am so nervous. A pup comes through lifeless and they begin to work and work on the pup ! I have to go outdoors because I just cannot watch 😥😥 one of the vets leave the operation room to access the pup ! After a while the pup is breathing and doing well . I ask myself why am I doing this ? I am so emotional and scared, nervous then I feel joy when we are all going home in the car .
I hear so many stories that people are preforming C-sections in their garage, the mom dies giving birth , the dog has had too many csections and bleeds out ! My heart breaks ! Some of these breeding dogs only live in a cage then are thrown away when they don’t produce.
I’ve included a post from a poor woman that is head over heels for her baby ( practice results of bad breeding) her poor Frenchie is sick and loaded with issues. So unfair! To raise these pups correctly and healthy it takes Money 💰 time , love , dedication and your total devotion.
Please try to help stop 🛑 these horrific breeding practices as a buyer and know all the details of the breeding!!!!!! If I could take them all I would ! No dog deserves this ……. 💔😡
This post I’ve included below is only one out of thousands.

Let’s Talk about Choking !
Don’t ever assume because your dog has teeth they will chew up whatever your giving to them !
I read posts all the time about families loosing their dog in the car on the way to the vets choking !!! HORRIFIC for all involved!
Breaking up food , treats ect may take time but can save your dogs life !
Dogs are like babies and explore the world by chewing and tasting…….in doing this they can accidentally inhale whatever they may be chewing on .
Chew toys , large pieces of foods , bread , balls , bones, treats and RAWHIDE ( a no no no ) all can be a hazard . I’ve included in my photos a little picture of a chart of things you can possibly do if this ever happens.
New pups pics below ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
All pups come AKC registered for you
Health tested parents
Vaccine ( first )
Deworming
F***l tested
Checked twice by two separate vets
Starter packs and long term support always available

The biggest question I always get ….. but how do you let them go 😢🙈. Getting each family’s story of how one of our pups changed their lives , this is the best dog we’ve ever experienced, we can’t wait to get another, this dog saved me ect ! This fills my heart ❤️! We have five beautiful Frenchies and keep the females even though they aren’t producing pups . This is not a program turning out pups and constantly looking to keep breeding. We are tiny in home 🏡 each pup leaving me gets countless hours of my time nurturing, loving and playing.
If your looking to add a new family member to your home 🏡 we will have pups due soon
Make sure you always research any breed before buying. Dogs require a lot of attention and getting a new puppy can be like adopting a two year old ! Prepare your home accordingly!

06/17/2023

Shopping tips are crucial when purchasing any dog just not a Frenchie ❤️
Ask yourself the difference between price and cost ?
Is it worth paying more for a greater value ?
Don’t jump over dollars to pick up Pennies .
Meaning doing what you can to save money yet costing you way more in the end 😭.
Know your breeder!
Ask questions and more questions
Are you getting a health contract with your new puppy?
Are you getting a puppy that’s been f***l tested?
Are the parents health tested?
What kind of vet care will be given ?
What conditions are the parents and pups being raised in ?
So many factors play a role in a healthy puppy ❤️
Keep your Frenchie at a healthy weight
Limit jumping from furniture, beds ect
Your Frenchie should wear a harness whenever your walking. Pulling on a collar at the neck can be damaging to neck and spine .
Remember any over weight dog of all breeds are at a much higher risk for back injury.
Regular exercise is important to keeping your dog healthy.
Diet also plays a role in their health
Look for good genes 🧬
Let’s keep this breed safe ❤️
Remember if something goes wrong in this breed your talking thousands and thousands of dollars!
Hope this is helpful for everyone searching for a new baby ….. and helps anyone that already had a best friend at home 🏡! Have a great weekend!
Happy Fathers to to all the amazing dads too ❤️

When your searching for a new puppy it’s so important to know the conditions that that Parents of your new puppy live in ❤️. This breed has become so popular and with its popularity has unfortunately brought so much abuse. I keep seeing female Frenchies thrown in shelters with their insides destroyed from breeding and low cost vet care if any !!!!! Makes me sick to my stomach! As a buyer you have the right to ask questions and the breeder should always be transparent about their dogs lives !
When I started my journey I was uneducated and just wanted a Frenchie ! Doing research 🧐 is key 🔑!
This breed is very expensive to breed correctly and raise . Getting a pup with health problems can cost thousands and thousands of dollars. Don’t buy from pet stores ! Get to know your breeder…….
Help stop the abuse as a buyer ! If you don’t purchase it would stop 🛑 really quick!

05/18/2023

Socialization period ❤️
Socialization is critical for your puppy’s development and future behavior. This is also the time for fear period . If your puppy experiences a scary or bad experience the repercussions can last a lifetime.
Having five adult dogs in our home each adult plays a different role in teaching the pups all in different ways …… ❤️. At this age they play in a different area daily exploring our home , decks and yard . They enjoy human touch and playing with adult dogs .
Because the weather is safe we play outside several times a day .
Enjoy watching them grow ….. follow us on instagram for daily videos and reels . You can also see more photos of past litters and our adults.
Look for open snares when searching for a new puppy ❤️ this can help your pup in the future with breathing and options for no snare surgery.
Have a great rest of your week everyone ❤️
