Frequently Asked Questions

We take great care and pride in placing each puppy with the right family. Every home is thoughtfully vetted, and puppies are carefully matched based on temperament, lifestyle compatibility, and overall fit. Our puppies are available to go home at 12 weeks of age.

Although the legal minimum is 8 weeks, we intentionally keep our puppies longer because we believe those additional weeks are invaluable. During this time, they continue to learn critical social behaviors from their parents and littermates, helping them develop proper bite inhibition, confidence, emotional regulation, and essential social skills.

We do not believe in separating puppies too early. Allowing them to mature in a structured, nurturing environment sets the foundation for a well-adjusted, stable companion for years to come.

Absolutely! The additional three-week period is intentional and incredibly beneficial for both our puppies and their future families.

During this time, we begin house-training foundations, including potty training on pads and PawHut trays in the winter, and outdoor training in the summer. This early structure helps create consistency and makes the transition into your home much smoother.

We also focus heavily on socialization and environmental exposure. Puppies are introduced to people of all ages, other dogs, everyday household activity, and new environments to build confidence and well-rounded temperaments. This helps ensure a more seamless, less stressful adjustment when they join their new families.

Additionally, our puppies receive their second round of vaccinations before going home. This means their immune systems are better prepared to handle new environments and are more protected against illnesses such as Parvo. It also saves you time, scheduling, and additional veterinary expenses during those first few weeks at home.

These extra weeks aren’t just added time — they’re an investment in raising stable, confident, and healthy companions.

Each puppy goes home with a thoughtfully prepared package to help ensure a smooth and comfortable transition.

You will receive a detailed booklet that includes your puppy’s individual stats and official vaccination records from our veterinary partner. When applicable (for those seeking full rights), AKC registration paperwork will also be provided.

In addition, every puppy comes with a carefully curated starter kit, which includes their current food, treats, and a blanket and/or toys carrying the familiar scent of their parents and littermates. This helps ease anxiety and provides comfort during their first few days in their new home.

If you are flying in to pick up your puppy or prefer to meet at the airport, we are more than happy to accommodate. We will bring all necessary documentation to ensure your puppy is cleared and ready to fly home with you safely.

For added convenience, we also offer a professional flight nanny/courier service for an additional fee. Your puppy will travel in-cabin with a trusted handler and be personally delivered to you, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and stress-free journey home.

We do not offer delivery, because our puppies deserve around the clock, hands on care at all times. To ensure all hands are on deck and they get the support they need, all members of our team must concentrate on the litter we are currently caring for and traveling long distances puts the puppies essential care at risk, should something happen. 

To protect their mother’s comfort and their health and socialization, we don’t allow public visits. Instead, we’ll arrange a live video call so you can meet your puppy in their home environment, ask questions, and see exactly where they were raised. 

Once you choose a puppy, your deposit of 20% is due to hold and reserve the puppy. We’ll send you the contract, health guarantee, invoice and schedule everything for pick up or shipping. 

We accept Cash, Apple Pay, Zelle and PayPal for trusted buyers. If you are paying electronically, we will require verification (photo ID or work badge) to ensure the safety of our puppies and a smooth transaction.

Personal information is always secure and never stored, duplicated or sold to third-parties. 

Absolutely! You will get photo and video updates as we take them, and on request. You may also schedule a live call with your puppy and one of our team members. Updates depend on litter size and other factors, but you will always have access. 

We provide a checklist: bed, bowls, leash/harness, grooming tools. For collars/harnesses, we recommend waiting until you have the puppy for size accuracy. We are happy to provide a suggestion, but cannot guarantee a perfect fit without an in-person consultation, as different brands run different. 

According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), the typical price of a French Bulldog from a reputable, ethical breeder ranges from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on several factors. Pricing can vary based on color, eye color, gender, age, pedigree, structure, and overall quality. For example, rare colors, lighter eyes, females, and younger puppies often fall on the higher end of the spectrum, while standard-colored, male, or older puppies are generally more moderately priced. On average, a well-bred, health-tested French Bulldog from a responsible breeder typically ranges between $3,500–$5,500 USD.

One of the biggest challenges in this breed today is the number of unethical breeders producing puppies strictly for profit. Lower prices often reflect lower investment in the puppies’ care. Proper nutrition, routine veterinary visits, health testing, emergency supplies, supplements, and clean, enriching living environments all come at a significant cost. When corners are cut, puppies may be raised in poor conditions without adequate medical oversight, which can lead to serious and expensive health issues later in life. While a lower upfront price may seem appealing, it often results in far greater financial and emotional costs down the road.

We may not offer the cheapest puppies — but we prioritize quality, health, and responsible breeding. We invest $6,000–$12,000 per litter to ensure our puppies receive exceptional care from birth. Our focus is producing structurally sound, well-socialized, and health-tested companions who can thrive with their families — not just today, but for years to come.

If budget is a major factor, we recommend looking into a Frenchton or a Boston Terrier as opposed to a cheap frenchie. They’re generally more affordable and share many of the same lovable features and personality traits.

French Bulldogs are not considered a budget-friendly breed — even when they are responsibly and ethically bred. Pet insurance is strongly recommended and typically ranges from $75–$145 per month per puppy, depending on the level of coverage. In addition to insurance, Frenchies can be higher maintenance than many other breeds and may require specialized diets due to sensitivities or allergies (chicken being a common one).

Owning a French Bulldog is a long-term financial commitment. It’s similar to purchasing a luxury vehicle — you wouldn’t buy a Mercedes without being prepared for the insurance and maintenance costs that come with it.

We encourage prospective owners to carefully consider the financial responsibility involved so the breed does not suffer from preventable neglect or rehoming. If now isn’t the right time financially, it may be wise to explore other breeds that better fit your current budget or wait until you’re fully prepared to invest in the lifelong care a Frenchie deserves.
