Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had a love for animals, but dogs stole my heart at a young age with their unconditional love. I started breeding in 2015, but I shifted my focus to French Bulldogs in 2018. I strive to provide families with healthy, pure, and fun-loving pets.
What makes your program special?
Steel City Frenchies is not a kennel. It is a home based program, and the puppies are raised in a loving, caring home from day one. I dedicate my breeding program to uniting families with fun loving and healthy pets. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next beloved companion!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
