I'm Marcia S., the breeder behind Tra La French Bulldogs located in Vassar, MI. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. The foundation of our breeding program starts with raising healthy and well-loved dogs. We aim to pass the same happiness of owning a quality-bred dog to our buyers.
Q. & A. with Marcia
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to breed after personally owning the dogs we breed. We feel that over the years we have helped make many people very happy!
What makes your program special?
We are very close to all of our animals. This helps to make them feel comfortable with people. We are quite selective with whom we place our pups. We always offer a complete money back, no questions asked return if the new family cannot take care of them for any reason, no matter what the age of the dog. The welfare of our dogs always comes first.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, fawn, brindle and white, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Matisse, dad
French Bulldog
About Matisse
Matise enjoys a good movie now and then. His favorite activity is waterskiing in the summer and down hill skiing in the winter. He is very patriotic and makes sure to vote every election. He is very proud of his puppies and shows them off to others whenever he can. When he was young he wanted to be an astronaut but after college he went into sales and became very successful selling select dog food and accessories.
Joi, mom
French Bulldog
About Joi
Joie Da Vie always wanted to be a model in fashion shows. She would watch the fashion shows on TV whenever she had the chance. Her favorite designer was always Perry Ellis and she would make sketches of her favorite Perry Ellis designs. She went to design school in Chicago and that is where she met Matisse at an after school party. They hit it off almost immerdiately and following her graduation she and Matisse were married and had a gala reception afterwards! She still dabbles in design and encourages her puppies to follow their dreams just like she did.
Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Tra La French Bulldogs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for French Bulldogs.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Spine (OFA, FCI)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

Marcia and Randy are wonderful people who care about breeding healthy dogs. While some breeders make their dogs available at an extremely young age, Marcia and Randy ensure their dogs have plenty of quality time with their littermates and mother that allow them to grow into well-rounded pups, truly ready for adoption. We adopted Mac (nee Henri) in February '25 and he's been a great addition. He's healthy, happy, a real cuddler, and Mr. Popular around our neighborhood. Marcia and Randy were great to work with and I'd recommend anyone who wants an ethically bred Frenchie to reach out to them.
