Meet the breeder

I'm Melanie H., the breeder behind Toy House Frenchies located in Salem, OR. We are home-based breeders dedicated to bringing healthy, loving, and high-quality puppies into the homes and hearts of their forever families. We love our dogs and are passionate about raising our puppies to be the best family companions.

Q. & A. with Melanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We fell in love with frenchies 12 years ago and just like potatoe chips, you just can’t stop at one.

  • What makes your program special?

    I try and breed for color and Fluffy’s with the best quality and health that I can. I want to produce puppies that will bring happiness to families for as many years as I can. I do extensive genetic health testing and OFA X-ray testing and try and stay true to the standard structure as possible.

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

    Our puppies include cream, tricolors, blue fawn, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Good level

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
