I'm MILISSA W., the breeder behind The Frenchie Lovers located in Galveston, TX. I have had the privilege of having this breed as family members for over 16 years. I, Milissa Wise, own my own company, Expert Heavy Equipment (EHE), so I have the freedom to enjoy my dogs all my waking moments.
I do not have any traditional children, so Frenchies are my children. I truly have them in the forefront of life decisions to ensure they have the best quality of life possible. Because my income comes directly from the revenues generated from EHE, I am a true hobby breeder by definition.
I made the decision to breed to ensure we have complete control over all the decisions made focusing specifically on health. This does not mean that every dog produced is going to have 100% perfect health. That would be unrealistic and misleading. Prior to owning a Frenchie, it is imperative to know and understand the medical conditions that the Frenchies are predisposed too. Dogs may or may not develop one of the conditions listed under the 'About the Breed' tab. The responsibility of the breeder is to make decisions that will ensure that health is the number one priority.
