Meet the breeder

I'm Barbara Y., the breeder behind BZB Frenchies, Griffs & Long hair Chihuahuas located in Gastonia, NC. I’ve been married for 38 years, I have 2 daughters and 3 granddaughters. I’m a natural breeder that is very hands with my dogs that all live inside with me. My dogs are all trained and taught to be quiet as to barking. I start working with the pups and that behavior from beginning. I like to teach my dogs the way I want my own pets to behave.

Q. & A. with Barbara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell into breeding after purchasing my first French Bulldog. I was fortunate to find one of the best mentors and here I am today! I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I can’t image doing life without a dog in it. I love the French Bulldogs so much I breed them to keep them true to the breed. Brussels Griffons were close to extinction a few years back so I am bring this fabulous breed back healthy and natural to their breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    We focus on the health of parents before we even pair them. Once DNA is ran we make our paring to ensure healthy happy pups.

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

    Our Chihuahua puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

Barbara is incredibly kind, caring, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about her dogs. She is very responsive and really takes the time to answer questions, share her expertise, and make sure you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.

    Barbara was amazing throughout the entire process. From the beginning, she was very responsive and took the time to answer all of my questions, which made me feel a lot more comfortable as a first-time puppy owner. You can truly tell how much she cares about her dogs and the environment they are raised in. She kept me updated and reassured me about vaccinations and deworming, which meant a lot because I was a little nervous about everything being done correctly. When I finally got my puppy, he was healthy, playful, and clearly well taken care of. Even after bringing him home, she continued to check in and offer support, which shows how dedicated she is. This transition has been a big adjustment, but knowing I could reach out to her made it so much easier. I’m really grateful for the experience and would definitely recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a caring and responsible breeder.

    Barbara is the most phenomenal breeder and person to work with! She is responsive and knowledgeable. I got the most healthy beautiful boy French Bulldog. The love, care and detail she puts into these little babies is above and beyond. If you or anyone you know is looking for a fur baby, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Barbara!

    From start to finish Barbara was amazing. Responded within moments when we first reached out, answered all all questions. She sent us photos everyday, and communication was tremendous. You can tell she takes good care of her dogs, Pinky is so happy and loving from the start. Barbara met us at a convenient location and gave us a doggy goody bag, with food , treats , puppy pads and a bunch of other helpful things to get us started. Pinky was freshly bathed and nails clipped too! Pinky also had all shots and vaccinations, with verified paperwork. We would highly recommend Barbara if looking for a puppy! 10/10 We are so happy with Pinky and can't thank Barbara enough ❤️
