A Word About Our Life - Breeding is not all rainbows and unicorns, it is real life. Our journey as breeders for well over the last decade has been complete with over the moon joy to the depths of heartache and sorrow. There may be times when we need to have difficult emotional conversations with you, we need to feel you are up to it. If we feel you lack emotional maturity, we will not place a puppy or adult with you.
We want you to be excited that you have chosen us as your breeder, and we want to feel the same about choosing you to be part of our frenchie family. If you are ready to join us, we welcome you!
