Meet the breeder
I'm Monica, the breeder behind Hope Valley Hounds located in Rhode Island. Loving the life, dog life. I am pleased to continue my journey and share the breeding of my healthy frenchie puppies well prepared to transition to you.
Q. & A. with Monica
Why did you start breeding?
20+ years of rescuing, rehoming, fostering and adopting brought me to this part of my life’s journey. A little female frenchie came into my life and although she is not a part of the breeding program she inspired me.What makes your program special?
My heart is in it. Breeding is not easy and can be extremely rewarding. I have a commitment to our Moms and Dads to be there with the 8+ weeks of pup raising.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle, cream, fawn, brindle and white, white and fawn, fawn and white, tricolors, blue, blue fawn, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
