Meet the breeder

I'm Katherine T., the breeder behind Busy Bee French Bulldogs located in Almo, KY. We take pride in our commitment to the breed and the health and well-being of our French Bulldogs. Our over twenty years of experience in breeding, showing, and raising dogs sets us apart as reputable breeders in Western Kentucky. We are always available for any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to meeting you and helping you select the right puppy for you. Please make sure your whole family is on board with purchasing a puppy before contacting us.

Q. & A. with Katherine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell into breeding Cane Corsi through my grandfather who immigrated here from Sicily. He knew the breed there. After my grandfather passed away it was hard to continue breeding Corsi. We had always owned French Bulldogs as pets and so we decided to health test them and move our contracts up to full AKC so we could start a program. It was a great decision! The whole family is overjoyed and involved with the Frenchies. We love going to shows together and hanging out with our furry family members.

  • What makes your program special?

    I feel our breeding program is special because we bring a family aspect to breeding and placing our puppies. We allow prospective buyers to come into our home to see how we do things. I have yet to meet another breeder that does this. I have always picked my puppies up at a location other than the breeder's home. We also show our dogs and allow them to act as dogs and not a couch ornament. We love spending time with our dogs and we keep them for life after they retire from breeding. We health test through Embark and our veterinarian checks patella's prior to breeding.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, fawn, white, white and fawn, white and brindle, tricolors, fawn brindle and white, fawn and white, blue, brindle and white, blue fawn, black and white, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Katherine

Katherine has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Katherine partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“We socialize our puppies indoors and outdoors. We do not feel temperaments are very different in this breed so we are not concerned with placement as far as temperaments go. Males and females are both easy going in our long experience of breeding Frenchies. Our males get along well even when we have females in heat. We would like to make sure you have the proper time and capability to spend adequate time with your Frenchie daily. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $2,000 - $4,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“This price includes first set of vaccines, health guarantee, toys, dose of interceptor plus, tip sheet and AKC papers. All of our puppies require a working fee of 500.00 which goes towards the price of your puppy. We refer to this as a working fee because it is non-refundable and pays for us to work with you to choose the right puppy. You are in commitment to us and we to you when that 500.00 has been approved and paid. We must speak with you on the phone and approve your application prior to a fee being placed. We take placement very seriously and this is why a fee is required. We do accept visitors and we do Facetime as well to ensure you are comfortable. Our goal is to place you with the correct puppy for you.”
