Frequently Asked Questions

Is a French Bulldog right for me?
Frenchies are becoming more and more popular by the day. In 2022, French Bulldogs became the most popular dog breed in America for the first time. That's because they are family friendly, great for apartment living, low activity level, and a great choice for new owners. However, frenchies are susceptible to a number of health issues, including: I encourage you to do thorough research on the breed before reserving your puppy. While I couldn't IMAGINE owning any other breed myself, frenchies can be too high maintenance for some owners. If you're unsure or would like to discuss your concerns, you're more than welcome to contact me!
How do I reserve my puppy?
Most of our puppies are sold before they are even 6 weeks old! To reserve your puppy, please call or text (PHONE NUMBER) or email (EMAIL). We require a $500-$1000 non-refundable deposit on all puppies for reservation. We accept wire transfer, PayPal, Zelle, or cash. The remaining balance is due at time of pick-up.
Do you ship puppies?
For an additional cost, we can have your puppy shipped to you via a trusted flight nanny, who will hand-deliver the puppy to you at an airport near you. Otherwise, you may pick up your puppy locally in West Michigan, or I would be happy to meet you at an airport near me! This includes airports in Grand Rapids, Flint, and Detroit.
At what age can my puppy come home?
If you are picking up locally, they can go home at 8 weeks old. If they will be flying, they will need to wait until they are 9 weeks old.
Will our puppy come with any kind of guarantee?
Yes! Since we strive to prioritize the health of our puppies, we send them home with a one-year health guarantee against congenital diseases.
Do you offer stud services?
Stay tuned! Currently we do not offer any stud services, though we would be happy to refer you!
Is financing available?
At this time no, but this is an option that we are exploring!
