In 2025, I’m no longer holding back the information I've been reluctant to share publicly for years.

This is my reaction when someone thinks they got a “deal” on their French Bulldog puppy. The real deal is that you'll end up spending more at the vet and trainer for more than just the basics. Even well-bred puppies face challenges. I usually avoid speaking negatively, but I've reached my limit with people not appreciating the incredible work that goes into quietly trying to improve our breed. My puppies are not for everyone I understand that. I would've quit by now if it weren’t for my hubs funding our passion all these years.

Over the past few years, the Frenchie community has become more uneducated about the breed than ever before.

They are not great quality but beautiful pictures of these buddies. He goes to school and comes home looking forward to seeing all the babies.

It is worth reading if you give your pets flea and tick meds. I'll share another post about some of the back-end vet big-pharma stuff going around.

FDA fact sheet about potential neurologic adverse events in dogs and cats when treated with the flea and tick drugs Bravecto, Credelio, Nexgard, or Simparica.

Hi everyone,

I apologize for my recent silence. As many of you know, I became a medical mama in 2023, and my youngest has been facing some medical challenges. He is doing better and will be off to run around again soon. This has required my full attention over the past few months, and as a result, my social media presence has taken a backseat. Trying to manage everything, my priorities have shifted.

Despite this, I’m still deeply involved in my daily dog activities and all the “business” side of things for the puppies. I’m excited to share that we have two fall litters on the way, and I’m looking forward to focusing on happier news.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

We have 3 birthdays in July and starting with mine on the 3rd, today is dads, and sat is Selene’s. Trying to keep Selene busy too, she loved fishing 🎣 I’ve day dreaming about taking some of the dogs with us. We made it happen. It was a ton of work but so so worth it. We did buy them a Burley to haul them around so now they will be able to take turns on bike rides regularly.

Warning ⚠️ Don’t take your FRENCH BULLODOGS camping on 90+ degrees if your not experience with heat strokes and warning signs. If you’re one of my families and want to do this reach out to me and I will help you.

The easiest way is to search for firework sounds on YouTube and play it for 15 minutes every day until the 4th of July as a reminder.

I’m not a research veterinarian, but I’ve been saying this for years from my observations. Take the time to read the study about sending puppies home early. 2 months old is 8.6 weeks, so you should never take your puppy home before nine weeks. I highly recommend taking them home when they are 10 weeks old.

Puppy AGE at separation matters!
Behavior problems are MUCH more common in dogs who were separated from their litter before 2 months of age. Early maternal separation, poor maternal care and early life trauma, have profound effects on behavior problems later in life. Puppies should be nursed and cared for by their momma and in a low life stress circumstance if at all possible.
