Q. & A. with Jody
Why did you start breeding?
My mom used to breed Boston Terriers. I got my stud (Shadow) almost 4 years ago, and I got my female about two years ago. They naturally got pregnant. I just love these dogs so much . My two frenchies are family. They go pretty much everywhere with me. They sleep with my daughter on her king size bed. We didn't think they could get pregnant naturally, because that's what everyone was telling me. Low and behold husband and I are at work all the way in Seattle and my daughter calls and and said they did it! I really couldn't believe it. It was unexpected, but we are extremely happy to have these puppies.
What makes your program special?
We are just a laid back family who love French Bulldogs. ❤️
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle, black, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
