I'm Dawn W., the breeder behind Fat Moon Frenchies located in Metairie, LA. We’re hobby breeders looking for individuals and families that will continue to love and spoil our puppies as much as we do! We breed with passion and integrity so we’re able to responsibly contribute to growing this amazing breed. It’s important to us to share the gift of living with one of our puppies with other families.
Q. & A. with Dawn
Why did you start breeding?
I've owned and operated a successful pet grooming salon since 2000. Breeding French Bulldogs has been a long time dream but I had to wait until my children were grown and my business well established before I could dedicate the proper time to my breeding program.
What makes your program special?
Breeding for healthy well adjusted puppies is our #1 goal.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, fawn, liver, tricolors, black, blue fawn, blue, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
