I'm Melissa R., the breeder behind 731 Frenchies located in Humboldt, TN. We provide family, loving, home grown babies. These babies are slept with and have not been introduced to the public until all vaccinations are complete. They also have not been introduced to the outdoors until vaccinations are complete. All of these puppies have been loved on by my children.
Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
After falling in love with the breed I felt that it was selfish to not share this joy with my community. In this world today, Everyone needs a Frenchie!
What makes your program special?
I'm not just a breeder, these are our fur babies! The safety and well being of our puppies is our #1 priority. Our puppies are raised with love and are raised to be part of a family. This is more than just an avenue to create a dollar. We chose to do this to share with others the love that we have found with our frenchie girls.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I’ve finally introduced the babies to my girlfriend’s children. I wouldn’t let the puppies around children for a while “just in case”. Need to make sure my babies are healthy and happy, that’s my number one. They are great with people of every age, even a 2.5 and a 5 year old.

About Lilly
Lilly is a lilac-fawn. She is the sweetest, most loving baby. She loves to go outside and sunbathe. She is always ready to chase a ball or retrieve a bumper. Best of both worlds with this one! She will snuggle with you as much as you would want & will also run and play outside.
