Merry Christmas from our frenzied frenchton family to YOURS!

Everyone is loving the 3 handle rubber tug ball I bought at Tractor supply, and Mayple went right to work yesterday ripping open all the gifts, hahaha! Luckily it was only the ones my husband wrapped (Mom knows better, lol!)

How have your babies done with gifts this year?

GOING HOME UPDATES!

About a month late, but here they are!

Brody went home first, then was followed by Hadley, who went on a wild ride to New Jersey using a FLIGHT NANNY (our first time). The nanny was sick and mixed up the schedule and we ended up flying her a day earlier than planned - which meant she had eaten breakfast and proceeded to eject it the entire trip. It was NOT for anyone involved, but was a blessing in disguise as a snowstorm was blowing through the next day.

Zeke was the last to go, and gained so much weight that had you put him side by side with Weston, you'd almost not tell them apart (aside from markings).

Everyone seems to have settled in nicely! And Mayple was quite sad after Zeke left, and she still isn't as sassy as she had been, but she's settling in and has her own routines now. And gets mad if the cats are sitting in her spot in Mom's lap ;)

Previous puppy customer Tanya (Luna) stopped in to deliver a MASSIVE load of puppy outfits for little Mayple, and even got in some snuggles!

Don't worry Tanya, she still has a bit of growing to do before she will fit them :D

Mayple had her FIRST trip off the farm, and we went to go pick up my son from his nature school. She did GREAT on the car ride in (but vomited on the way home...) and is sporting a harness sent by previous puppy customers Wendy and Kevin from Arlo's puppy harness collection (I CANNOT believe how fast she's outgrowing them!)

Mayple did PERFECT on her first walk and sat by my feet as the kids came up to pet her.

Now if I could JUST get Dittie to be this calm on a leash, lol!

Puppies have been KILLING IT with bell potty training!

Frenchton Bulldog puppies are amazing to train!

Right now we are on hourly rotations of pen 1 hr, out 1 hr, and everyone runs in a herd to the door to potty. Potty outside = treat and playtime!

Even tiny Zeke is a Rockstar with the bell!

It's a bit tricky since I can't always SEE if they pottied, but they are so very close to fully trained, and NO IT DOESNT TAKE MONTHS like many complain

A GOOD solid start as young pups paves the way for good learning habits as they grow.

This group has been amazing with staying out of trouble, a stern "no" is all that's needed.

Hadley is our last amazing pup left, so DONT MISS this opportunity for one of the best pups you'll ever meet!

(Photo is of Brody, because he managed to hold still for 3 seconds!)

Weston, Miles, Tye and Sadie all went home this week!

The pups wasted no time snuggling into their new owners and covering them in kisses!

Happy travels my friends! Pups are returning to homes ranging from all parts of Michigan, to New Jersey to Wisconsin!

The sweetest thing happened yesterday, and I did the best I could to document it with photos!

As you know, the puppies are taught potty-training at the age of 3 weeks, and at the age of 5-6 weeks (weather dependent) they start learning to potty outside.

(eventually I hope to have a video series on this when I get a rare spare moment)

Several times a day, I load all the puppies into the "puppy bus" (giant rubbermaid bin) and drag it across the house to our outdoor play-yard door.

Each puppy is told "Lets go outside and go potty", I boop their nose on the bell, say "good job!" and stuff them out the door and repeat with remaining puppies.

The puppies KNOW the routine and they all run down the ramp to potty, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Except last night.

I have a strict "no potty, no play" rule, if a puppy does not potty, or ATTEMPT to potty, they don't get free playtime on the floor - this emphasizes the idea that playtime is earned, not a given and helps discourage indoor potty behavior.

It's like small kids, "But I alwedy went potty mommy.." "I know, but I want you to TRY AGAIN before we leave."

RIGHT??? IT"S THE SAME WITH PUPPIES.

Last night when I took everyone out to potty (they CAN still potty in their litterbox during the day), Mayple REFUSED.

She had apparently already gone in her litterbox just 2 minutes before I arrived . . . and she refused to even attempt it outside.

The weather was decently warm with a slight drizzle rain, nothing awful, but she still stood at the door screaming. ALLLLLL the other pups ran off to potty and came back. ALLLLL the other pups got to come inside and play.

I took Mayple BACK TO THE PEN.

She screamed a good bit, and I finally took her back outside again. SHE STILL SAT AND SCREAMED.

The other pups would run up to her on the other side of the glass and stare, then run off again.

Except for tiny, little Zeke. Zeke knows he is staying with us a bit longer while his mom and dad are away, so he and Mayple have formed a special bond.

Zeke kept circling back to the slider, and staring at Mayple. Finally he started barking at me and looking at Mayple. I walked over and thought perhaps he needed to potty again, so I put him outside with her.

At first he panicked wanting back in (since he HAD already pottied), but then he saw Mayple screaming next to him and sat down and talked to her, trying to convince her to go "TRY" to potty. He sat at the edge of the ramp, trying to convince her to go. When she STILL refused, he gave up and ran down the ramp himself and decided to go potty again.

Mayple sat watching. She still refused . . . But ..... maybe . . . .

Finally she TOO scurried down the ramp and off into the grass and made a potty ***FINALLY*** and the two pups gleefully ran back up the ramp TOGETHER and sat at the door.

And yes, they both got LOTS OF PRAISES (Zeke too for being such a kind brother) and both joined the other pups in indoor play.

And NO ONE pottied in the house :)

If you did NOT get a copy of my potty training and behavior guide, please let me know and I will e-mail it to you, it's full of helpful tips!

**** remember, every moment is a teaching moment . . . what are your pups LEARNING (even unintentionally)?

Weston went off to meet his mommy and Daddy and is flying home now! He snuggled right in and refused to let go of them 🥰

Dittie insisted on riding along and she didn't puke once! I think she's determined to go on another out of state trip again and is working on her tolerance 😆

Here are Hadley's updated photos - I've sent them out to a few who have asked, but decided to post them here as well in case messenger isn't working ;)

7.5 Weeks old, ready to go home this weekend and cover you in soft nuzzles 🥰

She is 82% Frenchie, 18% Boston Terrier, 100% sweetness!

Puppy photos on the way!
Almost everyone did great! Brody went crazy trying to eat the decorations and Maple thought a bow collar meant it was time to become a bucking bronco!

But overall, everyone did AMAZING for their 7/8 week old photos! I will be sending ALLLL your puppy photos by e-mail, and taking the best one to edit and print for your 5x7 photo and the ones for the website!

*** HADLEY our amazing, sweet girl is STILL available, although I have had 5 people over the last 7 days inquire about her, so I DON'T think she will be around for too long.

If you have NOT reached out to set-up a pick-up time, please shoot me a text or call me, so I make sure to block out plenty of time to go over details of puppy care when you arrive.

Puppies come with a bag of food, a bow tie collar, a few toys, a starter bell, a 5x7 glamor shots photo, vet/shot records, and a puppy info packet on YOUR puppy and their parents.

F***l tests all came back CLEAN!

And everyone is now eating DRY puppy food.

We have begun our outdoor potty routine, and LIKELY (groaning inwardly) I will begin waking everyone up at 4:30 to go out to potty outside (and then back to bed). This gets them ready for their new homes as they will likely be up about that time needing to go!

Another puppy video! This one was taken MOnday I believe. Weston has since STOPPED screaming, and overall with THIS litter the behavior is amazing! Maple is still screaming a bit . . . you know that stuck up girl in elementary school that thoght she was better than everyone? Yeah . . . that's Maple, lol. She KNOWS she's staying, and likes to rub it in EVERYONE'S faces . . .

The amount this group had already learned with behavior is exciting! Right now we are learnng on NOT chomping on Mom during sit and snuggle time. I run puppy litters a bit like a daycare, where they have time outside to play (length depends on the weather), time inside to play, snuggle/song time and lots of various stimulations. And of course nap and feeding time!

Puppies LOVE chewing on everything . . . including YOU! When puppies begin to chomp I either yelp (like the puppies do) or say "ouch!" and both are followed by a stern "no bite", then puppy is removed from my lap and placed away from me. If they choose to run back and jump back into my lap, they are allowed, but if they bite again, they are once again removed and set away from me. We repeat this as much as it happens. It doesn't take long for them to realize their ideal snuggle spot was just taken by someone else and they do't want to risk losing it again by more biting :)

We do NOT let puppies jump, bite or claw at our faces . . . REMEMEBER, they are SMALL NOW, but bad habits learned as pups turn into awful habits done by FULL SIZE DOGS later.

** ALso at the end that's BRODY, not Miles! I don't usually get those names mixed up but I must have looked over at Miles quickly and his name was stuck on my brain, lol!

Last week's first day out in the puppy yard!

Pardon Grandpa's relentless barking, he's had a LOT of visitors with the house build and re-learned bad manners :P
I did take video yesterday and will try to get that posted as well!

Pups are doing AMAZING with potty outside. We are learning what the bell is, and basic commands with potty training!

They are also VERY adept at potty in the litterbox, but p*e is still 50/50. Likely because they prefer to do each in different locations ;)

vet visit is Friday, everyone will receive 1st round of vaccines and be tested for worms and have nose, nares, throat, hips, knees, heart and lungs checked!

Reach out with any questions!

WEBSITE HAS BEEN UPDATED - New puppy photos are up!

Hadley (still available) is the CHAMPION at the litterbox, and as far as I have seen, uses is 100% for all potties.

Zeke (still available) is slowly gaining weight and size, but despite his tiny stature he enjoys wandering off to explore on his own or with littermates.

Everyone is doing great! Vet appointment is scheduled for October 25 (next week Friday) and will get a FULL check-up and 1st round of shots. We will bring in a f***l sample next Monday and give wormer at the vet later IF the test comes back positive.

We do NOT worm puppies every 2 weeks as it can develop Mast cell tumors later in life, and ruins their immune system and gut health. We only worm IF needed, and use the correct type for whatever displays on the test.

Puppies can go home that next weekend (8 weeks)!

It's crazy to think that just 5 weeks ago I was bringing home the last 5 pups in a heated box tucked under my arm and a sore Dittie in the other!

Just 3 weeks left. It's hard thinking that this will be the last group for a while . . . I'm trying to soak it up while I can!

Puppies have their ears up! Except for Maple 😆. Everyone got an upgrade to a bigger pen since they are doing so great with pottying in the litter box and they needed a LARGER ONE. This group strangely enough seems a week ahead of previous litters... maybe since Dittie held them an extra week!

Still soaking the puppy food and getting a bit of goat milk mixed in the mornings. Teeth are razor sharp and personalities are popping!

New photos taken yesterday and hopefully up tomorrow along with new personality updates!
