around producing high-quality puppies that are healthy and well-socialized.
As home-based breeders, we are dedicated to providing a loving and nurturing environment for our dogs.
When you visit us to meet your potential new puppy, you will get to see firsthand how
dogs are raised and how we all live.

Our French Bulldogs have their hips and spines x-rayed and sent to a specialist for grading.
We also take special care into BAOS issues and also get grading done around that.
Additionally, we ensure that our dogs receive full vet check-ups every year.
