2. Getting to Know You
Many families find us through Google, social media, or word of mouth. Once you visit our website, you can browse our available French Bulldog puppies or reach out if you’re searching for a particular color, gender, or upcoming litter.
Even if we don’t currently have the exact puppy you’re looking for, we’re happy to guide you toward upcoming availability and help you plan ahead.

Before accepting a deposit, we take our time to ensure each family is serious and truly understands the commitment involved with bringing home a French Bulldog puppy. It is important to us that our families are truly ready and are a great fit for one of our puppies.
We’ll ask a few simple questions about you, your home, lifestyle, and experience with dogs.

💡 Prefer to meet puppies first?
If you prefer to meet puppies in person before choosing, you can wait until around 6-7 weeks of age to visit our home and select from our remaining available puppies. Before we allow families to visit, at 6-7 weeks, our experienced veterinarian performs a health check and each puppy will receive their first vaccination. We do this in order to protect our puppies and in our 30 years we have never had an ill puppy.
Please note: we can’t hold a puppy without a deposit, so availability at 6-7 weeks is not guaranteed.

After the deposit is received, you’ll receive weekly photo updates as your puppy grows.
We believe in keeping families connected throughout the process — so you can enjoy every milestone leading up to pickup day.

5. Pickup Day (8-9 Weeks)
Puppies are ready to go home at 8-9 weeks old, after completing their vet exam, vaccinations, and deworming. Pickups take place at our home in Maryland, where we dedicate about 30–45 minutes to reviewing important information, answering your questions, and ensuring you feel confident before heading home.
Each family receives:
- All veterinary records (vaccinations, deworming, and microchip information)
- A familiar blanket and toys to help your puppy adjust comfortably
- A tote bag with helpful paperwork and care tips
- A sample of your puppy’s current food to make the transition easier
We also love capturing the moment! Families are welcome to take a family photo with their new puppy before heading home.

5. Pickup Day (8-9 Weeks)
Our relationship doesn’t end on pickup day — it’s just the beginning. We love staying connected with our families and watching our puppies grow in their new homes.
We encourage families to share updated photos and milestones as their French Bulldog matures — it truly brings us joy to see how loved they are.
Many of our families return to us again when they’re ready to add a second (or even third!) French Bulldog to their home, and that continued trust means the world to us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All of our French Bulldog puppies are AKC registered and are sold with limited registration (No breeding rights, we only sell to families looking for a family pet).
Absolutely. Every puppy goes home up to date on vaccinations and deworming, with a full veterinary health record and microchip information provided at pickup.
Yes. All of our parent dogs are genetically tested for common disorders in the breed, helping us raise strong, healthy puppies. Our bloodlines go back six generations with no hereditary issues—something we’re incredibly proud of and stand behind. Of course, life is unpredictable—we are all living, breathing beings, and anything can happen to anyone at any moment. But we truly believe the proof is in the pudding: our puppies thrive, and our families come back generation after generation, making us one of the most trusted and reputable French Bulldog breeders.
Each family receives a familiar blanket, toys, a tote bag with helpful puppy care information, starter bag of their food, and complete vet records.
We also spend time reviewing care instructions and answering any final questions before you go home — and we love taking a family photo if you’d like!
