Breeder of French Bulldogs

Meet the breeder

I'm Michelle H., the breeder behind PHP's Starbulls located in Lake Luzerne, NY. At PHP we believe in treating buyers with a high degree of knowledge and professionalism. We understand how big of a decision it is to get a puppy - we want to help you along your way to ensure your dog is the right fit for you.

Q. & A. with Michelle

  • What makes your program special?

    We take the health and growth of our Frenchies very seriously. We know how important it is that the breeding dogs' health is as good as it can be to ensure the puppies' health is similarly sound. We conduct a genetics panel test to look for any defects that might be passed on to the puppies. We also make sure the hips and joints on all our dogs are normal and functioning, so that our puppies live the best lives they can.

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
