Meet the breeder

I'm Stephanie L., the breeder behind Fishie's Frenchies located in Shakopee, MN. Our mission is to raise healthy, happy, adorable French Bulldog puppies and connect loving families with their new best friend! We find so much joy in watching our puppies grow and develop their own unique personalities. We can’t wait for you to meet your next loving and loyal companion!

Q. & A. with Stephanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I wished to breed my French Bulldog and met up with a breeder who came highly recommended. She and I became friends and, with her as my mentor, I decided to try becoming a breeder myself as it was something that I had wished to do since becoming a CVT.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised in our home and get to experience other animals and people so they are very socialized at a young age. My husband and I both care very much for our animals and give each one the love and safe keeping they deserve.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Our experience with Steph right at the beginning was attentive, knowledgeable, and invested in helping us find the right puppy requirements to our family as the puppy was to be trained as a service dog. She was always quick to respond to our messages, no matter how many questions we had, and took the time to thoroughly explain everything throughout the process. What stood out most was how accommodating she was in the process. We weren’t able to take our puppy in our home right away, and she was able to keep the puppy in her home for some time longer where the puppy gained extensive socialization until we were able to take her. She puts her heart into raising healthy, well-socialized puppies so they are ready for homes. Steph spent time answering our questions, easing our worries as it was our first puppy and helped us in the transition by posting videos and pictures of our little girl until we were able to bring her into our home. Steph provided valuable information from experience and made sure we felt comfortable and prepared every step of the way. Even after bringing our little girl into our home, she continued to be a source of support and guidance, which meant so much to us as new Frenchie parents. Our little girl has brought so much joy, laughter, and love into our lives, and we are incredibly grateful to Steph for making that possible as our puppy is incredibly calm, intelligent and such a beautiful puppy that everyone absolutely loves when they meet her. She is going to be a wonderful service dog. If you’re looking for a breeder who genuinely cares about the health, temperament, and future of every puppy she raises, I definitely recommend Steph and the beautiful frenchies she raises!
