Q. & A. with Cynthia
Why did you start breeding?
One Frenchie pup for the Boy, then a littermate girl for the Twins, thus began our love affair with this wonderful breed…
…and as we soon discovered, once the Frenchie addiction begins, you can’t have just one.
Elissa, having decades of experience breeding, raising, and working top show and pet Alaskan Malamutes, planted the seed of spreading our love for these fun, snuggly little dogs by breeding quality companion French Bulldogs.
What makes your program special?
We strive to breed the healthiest and most loving French Bulldogs who will become cherished members of their new families. All pups are raised in our homes and socialized using techniques recommended for guide dog programs. Parents pass OFA screening and are genetically clear of common French Bulldog inherited conditions. Pups come with a 2 year health guarantee, genetic testing, personality test, and lifelong breeder support.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn, white and fawn, liver, black and white, brindle and white, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
