I'm Melanie R., the breeder behind PcFrenchies located in Solway, MN. We are small in-home French Bulldog breeders. Breeding for health and breed type. The goal we set and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.
Q. & A. with Melanie
Why did you start breeding?
Our breeding started with a Chihuahua and my kids wanting us to raise a litter of puppies. When my daughter got her first French Bulldog Male I fell in love with the breed. We then bought a female and had our first litter of babies. We were hooked.
What makes your program special?
I feel our program is special because we focus on raising healthy babies while keeping in mind the breed standard. We do not breed to extreme looks. Our dogs are part of our family!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle, cream, fawn, black and tan, blue fawn, blue, brindle and white, and fawn and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Melanie from PcFrenchies was super easy to work with and made me feel confident and comfortable the whole way. She was quick to respond and give me photos and updates about our puppy. I highly recommend working with PcFrenchies as my puppy is of excellent quality and been the best addition to my family. If I’m ever in the market for another puppy in the future, I’d look to them for sure.
