Frequently Asked Questions

How does this work?

If you see a puppy that you’re interested in, the first step is to reach out to us to reserve your puppy! At that time, we’ll send over a buyer’s contract, which outlines the details of the sale. Once you’ve signed the contract and paid your deposit, your puppy is secured! They will continue to be raised in our home until they are 8-9 weeks old and ready to go to their new home.
The balance of the puppy is due at or before the time of pickup or delivery. I’ll coordinate with you directly to determine a date and time to meet up, and deliver your new Frenchie baby to you!

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:

Allergies
Hip dysplasia
Breathing issues
Heat stress
And a number of other conditions

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 (616) 965-6895 or email shillsfrenchies@gmail.com. We require a $500 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 fee, I’d be thrilled to fly with your puppy and meet you at the airport to hand-deliver to you! Our other pickup options include meeting up with me 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. The details of this guarantee will be outlined in your contract.

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!
