Q. & A. with Heather

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I breed Rottweilers a few times when I was younger. My 1st Frenchie came from a wonderful woman that I now call friend. She has helped me so much with learning the Frenchie. They are just the cutest thing everyone should have one.

  • What makes your program special?

    We DNA test all of our dogs. To make sure they will have healthy pups for families to enjoy. Breathing is very important to us Our Frenchies do not have a total smashed face. We make sure our dog have good nostrils. These dog are our family they live with us sleep with us and go to work with us.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include brindle and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
