Q. & A. with Melanie
Why did you start breeding?
It was always a passion I had. But working full time it just wasn’t going to be feasible. I have met a great mentor and now am in a place in my life I can do. I love the French Bulldog breed and wanted to help preserve the breed. I focus on health, temperament and structure, to help keep the quality of Frech Bulldogs around.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding stock is health tested. Our puppies are raised right in our living room with us. They have 24hr care between me and my husband. We feed them a high quality diet. They are socialized with our other dogs and people at appropriate ages. They are dewormed, vetted, microchipped and are AKC registered
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle, cream, fawn, fawn and white, brindle and white, and blue fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
