Q. & A. with Tessa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I want to do my part to better this breed and preserve it, too! My breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Frenchie while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, conformation, and temperament. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs!
  • What makes your program special?

    I care deeply about my dogs and puppies, and I do everything I can to ensure they get the best lives possible -- that includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. I strive to provide each of my puppies and their families with a truly positive experience. I am happy to tell you more about what life with a Frenchie is like and how they will not only enhance your daily life, but exceed your expectations!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
