I'm Leisa L., the breeder behind Freshwater Frenchies located in Sterling Heights, MI. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament with a focus on structure, personality, and social skills. We are dedicated to provide our families with healthy, wonderful family pets. I am a small hobby breeder in Macomb County Michigan. Our pets live inside our home along side my husband and I. We use pet play areas for each to have their own space, never a kennel. Our females are Animal Genetic health tested and veterinarian health exam checked prior to me deciding to use them or not. We carefully chose highly quality studs that will compliment our female. Each pairing is done so with health, structure temperament in mind to produce puppies that we intend to keep. We spare no expense when it come to whelping each litter. I strive to give each puppy the best opportunity at growing up to be the best of their ability.
